Still in the environment of the 52nd self-reliance anniversary, while on my means from Lagos to Kwara state, while listening and reading a book to songs and MP3 messages from my phone with the earphone glued to my ears, I spared some minute thinking of my precious nation, Nigerian and her trip so far. For a country that is blessed with terrific resources in human, product and natural deposits but things are not in correct shape in the midst of the 'abundance'.<br><br>It is the conviction of many that Nigeria has trouble(s) or better still Nigeria is not running at the level she ought to as an independent nation. A 52 year old for that matter!<br><br>I select not to belong to such college of idea that Nigeria has issue(s). I belong to a different institution of thought which thinks that Nigeria does not have issues. But Nigerians have issues and have actually effectively contaminated the innocent Nigeria with their problems. And as an outcome of this, Nigeria has become a sufferer of Nigerians issues.<br><br>It is a sorry state to be in such a situation caused by the inhabitants of such a blessed land- blessed with all kinds of resources in abundance. Due to the short-sightedness of the people the abundance resources have actually become scarce and this confirms the saying that, exactly what a guy sees figures out (to a large level) how he relates and acts to live.<br><br>I will discuss about 5 to 6 of the so called issues connecteded to Nigeria by her occupants or locals.<br><br>1. Corruption: You'll concur with me that the number one trouble on the lips of many individuals if asked exactly what the major issue of 'Nigeria' is, corruption would be the feedback of well over 80 %. It is an awful situation/experience- where things are not done in the typical way, the absence of stability in dealing with scenarios and individuals, not being directly in taking care of people. It's tough where to obtain something done you would need to 'tip' the individual who is in position in order to get such thing done. What a pity state. And as a result, Nigeria is related to as one of the most corrupt nation in the world, no thanks to Nigerians.<br><br>Lack of Maintenance Culture: I was left disappointed when I saw the pictures (slides) of the current state of the National Stadium (Abuja)... I found out the arena was developed with about N50 billion simply about 9years ago precisely in 2003 for the 2003 all Africa games hosted by Nigeria ... and to put it back in a 'proper shape' for football matches it'll cost about N100 million ... when are we going to stop squandering money and resources ...  You can find out more about Nigerian Shopping by visiting [https://sala.navimeteo.it/mediawiki/index.php/Utente:Joanne152 Here]. It's an unfortunate story. This is simply one amongst lots of facilities that have actually fallen sufferer of the Nigerian lack of upkeep mindset which is doing us more damage than great.<br><br>3. Selfishness: Stinginess [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/causing causing] by a concern for your own well-being and a disregard of others. Nigeria has actually suffered a lot in the hands of selfish people who proclaim themselves as leaders. Leaders who have actually done nothing however improve their wallet at the expense of those they claim to be representing (serving). Leaders and individuals who are worried about no one will never ever follow to the demands of the masses. This is the reason you'll see a public servant diverting the general public fund into his individual account.<br><br>This is an additional weird feature of Nigerians particularly those who declare to be spiritual leaders, it's a pity many of them have sold their conscience for a piece of meat. Those who are suggested to chat senses into the "heads" of this lot of selfish Nigerians who have turned themselves to 'god' forgetting the truth that "nothing lasts for life".<br><br>5. Bad Leadership: In the words of Dr Myles Munroe, 'every little thing fluctuates on management', Nigeria is one of the most blessed countries on planet earth when it comes to human resources. It is a pity that she's suffered from one succession of bad administration to an additional because 1960 (when she became an independent state). In spite of the abundance of human resources, Nigeria has suffered considerably in the hands of individuals who understand little or nothing about management- individuals who think leadership is everything about oppressing the leaders and masses having their means. On the contrary, the very best way to lead is to serve; a leader is expected to stand for the general public and not his individual interest.<br><br>I suggest that any prospect battling for any political office or appointed to occupy any workplace needs to go through an obligatory institution of leadership-where such person will be instructed what management is just about. As opposed to showing up and abusing power and position, not having any concept of what he/she is expected to do as a leader.<br><br>Having stated all these, there is no hopeless situation except for the lifeless. In as much as there is life, all hope is not yet lost. A modification of attitude is for that reason demanded from us as individuals and fellow compatriots. Let us alter our disposition to our country and strategy nationwide problems with zeal and patriotism much like our heroes past. And above all, let the fear of GOD guide our hearts in whatever we do. A man who fears God will not deal with another guy terribly and will not think twice to do exactly what he's elected or appointed to do. And I should stress at this point that, all Nigerians have a component to play in this fight and the reclaiming the lost pride and self-respect of our beloved country, Nigeria. God Bless Nigeria!
