What are you offering?

It bites me to hear people say Nigeria has nothing to offer them, they go on about how bad things are now, compared to when they were younger. They say things have changed drastically.

Well, must I remind them that the only constant change is change itself! Which now brings me to my question: what are you offering?

Back then, people gave their own share to the development of the nation. I will say Nigeria is like this, because lesser people have offered to help in comparison to what it used to be like in the past. We must also note that there is always the good side to the story.

The growth of Nigeria rests on our response to her. It is time to realize that the government can solve our problem; in fact, the government are our problems.

Help, not necessarily has to be to the nation, if you are not capable now. We all have friends, family and foes. We can help from their by showing love, encouraging and appreciating these people. This develops the individual as well as the immediate environment. Our help to other nations cripple our help to the nation, No doubt, this is a good gesture, but how well is it helping us as whole or as an individual? We need to improve on ourselves as a person. Individual growth could be, spiritually, emotionally and psychologically or philosophically and more.

Like a mustard seed, which man took and sowed in his field “Which indeed is the least of all seeds, but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches”. How little our effects might seem they matter the most. We need to start offering something to our nation, our friends, family, foes and self.

A better Nigeria: It begins with YOU.

Great post here!

I’m presently working with an NGO, SMEFUNDS on a solar based project that would solve our power problems and empower the poor masses among us. We are presently looking for people that we can train to act as agents of change, create affordable solar based solutions and free themselves from poverty doing so. Join us in this crusade because this is THE ONLY WAY WE CAN LIGHT UP NIGERIA!
