HOW TO MAKE NIGERIA GREAT
By Halimat Muheeb SSS 1
There are several ways of making Nigeria a great and prosperous nation. In this essay, attention would be placed on minimizing corruption, fostering unity, providing job opportunity and reducing crime.
To begin with, Nigeria can become great if corruption is given a technical knock out! Corruption is the major problem that is hindering the greatness of Nigeria. Corruption is the dishonest or fraudulent conduct by a person - follower or leader. It is the illegitimate use of power to benefit a privileged few as against a whole. For example, two friends can decide to give job opportunities to their children instead of advertising for the best candidates to apply. Favouritism is a form of corruption. These reduce the moral values of the citizens of a country. If we all come together, corruption can be reduced.
More so, Nigeria can become great if there is low crime rate. According to Cambridge dictionary, crime rate is the number of crimes that are committed during a period of time in a particular place. So many lives have been lost due to the incessant killings by hoodlums, bandits and extremists. High crime rate has made Nigeria not to grow. If innocent lives are not protected, what is left of the country? If these crime crime rate can be put in order, then Nigeria will be a great country to live in and a better place to visit.
Anti - penultimately, Nigeria can be great if the youths have jobs. Job creation often refers to government policies intended to reduce unemployment. Job creation programmes can take a variety of forms. For instance, government may lower taxes and reduce regulation to make hiring less expensive. On the other hand, a government may hire workers itself. Many youths are idle because there is no work for them, not because they are 'lazy youths'. Some girls have become prostitute not because they wish for it but because they is no job. Crimes like 'yahoo yahoo' can be reduced if jobs are provided for the youths. Yes job creation can make Nigeria great again.
Penultimately, Nigeria may be great if they is unity among Nigerians. According to Cambridge dictionary, unity is the state of being joined together or in agreement. If there is cooperation among tribes then we can all achieve a common goal. Also, unity is the quality of having understanding and respect for other cultures. If unity is fostered in Nigeria, there will be peace and progress. If there is peace in a community, won't the community be safe? Working together can help make Nigeria a great nation. So we should be united, forgetting the past, working in the present and building a great future.
Ultimately, Nigeria can be great if there is good governance. If our leaders are good people, Nigeria will develop. Cambridge dictionary defines good governance as the effective and responsible management of an organization or a country which includes considering society needs and making proper decision. Good governance sustains natural resources, alleviates poverty and improves the quality of life of the people. If Nigerians can embrace good governance then our country will be great.
In conclusion, we can all change! Greatness starts with you not the government. That's how we change our story!
