The Nigeria we should love

I am a Nigerian and I am proud. I have had the last two years to reflect on my life and really ask myself questions about who I really am and what I want to spend the rest of my life doing. Ironically, this is coming at a time when people think I am living a better life since I earn more money. The grass is always greener they say. Like economics always say, there is no free lunch.

Now I have an idea of what I want to do. Take not of the word "idea". Life is ever changing and I might just tell you something else tomorrow. Take take as a disclaimer of my choice of direction and not a sign of indecision. That's confusing.

I have been privileged to work in the public sector and the private sector. reflection on both tell me the public sector offers more challenges and room for adventures. Using the US Army adage, you can "Be all you can be".

I don't want that interest to die so I am going to write whatever i can about the Nigerian Government. No criticism. Just what I feel they do and how we can communicate it all to Nigerian both home and abroad. I must confess that I have some critical blogs out there already. That was then. This is now. This is the time for the optimists.

I love this country. It is all I have known. No point denying it. We have our short comings. So do the best of the best.

I suggest we start loving this country for what it is. That is only when we can make true progress. As a matter of fact, start loving yourselves. Life is short. We come and go but Naija remains for life. Amen.
