"One man can save the worrrlllllllldddddd!!" One smart American rapper Big Sean once sang, but how true is that?
Lately I've been thinking of the situation our society has been plunged into and even the world at large. Its scary when you begin to wonder what could happen if there aren't any changes made in the near future. Everyone wants it better but no one wants to put themselves out there because you know no one wants to go against the regular and be left standing out, everyone wants to blend in and that's probably the biggest problem we're having today, "sticking to the status quo."
Most people would say stick to the norm because you don't know the out come of the other option, most people want to stick to the regular because it's cheaper, most people because it's easier, and other's because they're afraid but whats living without taking risks? always used to tell me "life itself is a risk" but I never truly understood until lately.
Take Nigeria for example, she's been practicing federalism for decades now and it's obviously not working for the country for certain reasons but there has been no change and probably won't be any anytime soon. For the giant of Africa they sure are lacking in so many aspects. The Nigerian youth barely have a say in politics and what goes on in the country but that's okay because that's how things have been right from time, and although I agree that experience is the best teacher, Nigeria still desperately needs young fresh intelligent minds in key positions in her government but no, that's not even an option. You can't completely blame the government though, the youth aren't very enthusiastic about it either because "I cannot comman kill myself, who Nigeria help?, i'm my father's first son/ my mother's only child biko i cannot comman carry Nigeria on top of my head." Still can't blame them though because I mean what has Nigeria really done for them?
Today I was having a conversation with which is basically what inspired this post, he asked me my course of study and this was my reply "Started with Political science and later switched to International Relations and diplomacy, we out here tryna fix Nigeria." I was kinda shocked at my response afterwards, I don't know where that came from honestly because lately I've been so mad at the country and everything happening in it, I mean Trump actually called it a sh**hole but I guess who's gonna fix your home for you if you don't? No one that's who and Nigeria is my home whether I like it or not.
So yeah, do you think Nigeria can be fixed? I do so here's me telling y'all Nigerians out here, there's so many ways we can fix our country and maybe even the world at large, mentioned "you can change Nigeria with steemit" I totally agree, there's so many ways! So while i find mine you find your way and make a difference too I mean you never know, you in particular (ice prince voice lol) could be our messiah and maybe just as Big Sean sang, "One man can save the world" or in this case 'Nigeria".
