Hello everyone, and welcome to my article. My name is Pearlsuddy. Today, I'm going to write about a subject that has been on my mind. My friends and I have been debating it; some of us agreed, but you'll read the post to find out what it is about.

The election is approaching in my nation of Nigeria, and all the candidates have declared themselves and conducted their campaigns. The majority of the populace already possesses a PVC (permanent voter's card), although some citizens still lack it and others have already completed the process but have not yet received it.
Thus, as we were discussing how the nation had fared under the last president and contrasting it with earlier times, the topic for the title of my post came up ( if we could go back to the way things use to be). and that's because things were easier back then than they are now. When I was still a child, I used to be able to buy certain things with the small token that my parents gave me, and anytime I used it to purchase something, I would still have money on hand. These days, however, everything is different.
Consider the following example: Prior to the introduction of the new currency, we used to be able to withdraw 1,000 naira (#1000) for 100 naira (#100) and occasionally 50 naira (#50), but now it costs 500 naira (#500) to do so. This is really annoying because it makes it difficult for us to use our hard-earned money to make purchases. Now that the banks' ATMs no longer dispense cash, we must search for other places to obtain cash by walking about. It made me reflect on the simpler and more affordable times when I was a child, when we bought basics like food and fuel, and when electricity was stable.
For instance, back then, if we were to prepare a small pot of soup, if we had around 1,000 naira or even 500 naira, we could really cook a whole pot of soup; however, today, if you were to cook, you would need to invest a significant amount of money for the soup to be fit for consumption. I simply seem to be wondering what occurred; on the other hand, the electricity isn't exactly spectacular. What about the roads? that is a very different story. The individuals in charge of us aren't merely acting correctly.
Back to the presidential election: After serving as president for eight years, one candidate from a given party is seeking re-election. I offer the following list of events that occurred during that time, the majority of which Nigerians are still perplexed by today. the lekki massacre, the owo massacre,boko haram and other terrorist,snakes and monkeys swallowing money,fuel scarcity@350 per liter that was formerly @65, twitter and crypto currency banning hoarding of palliatives during COVID, money scarcity, incessant kidnapping, killing and banditry, highest rate of corruption and bribery, high cost of living, massive money laundering, youth suppression and crack down, endsars police brutality, flagrantly disobeying courts orders and many more i didn't list here. I don't mean to imply that he is incompetent, but when this party previously held power, things deteriorated from good to terrible and from bad to worse. Some people still want to go down the same path. One of my friends suggested that instead of having a government, they should give everyone a gun. He argued that this would solve the problem of unemployment and the fact that when our young people act out of frustration, they are still detained by the same authorities who have refused to give them employment opportunities.We truly need a change in this country; they have done what they could; at the very least, they should give someone else an opportunity to rule so we can understand the root of the issue.
I don't really have anything to say other than that God should let a good leader take charge of us and change the way things are now to how they were in the past, allowing us to continue to be the giant of Africa even though it seems as though the giant is collapsing and we desperately need assistance. We all know that human desires are insatiable, but despite this knowledge, we are quick to criticize others, and I believe this is the reason why my country does not have a healthy government. I simply wish that God would help us all. And remember to vote carefully and to remain safe.
