Nigeria 🇳🇬 has a serious problem, and we have become so accustomed to it that we barely react anymore. I wanted to apply to the NDA. Not because somebody forced me. Not because it was convenient. Because it was what I wanted. I told my parents. Their first question was.
I don’t just want to win. I need to win. I’ve seen what life looks like when you have nothing, and I refuse to stay there. I want freedom. I want peace. I want to build the life I see in my head. I’ll keep going until I get it because going back is not an option.
You don’t need a perfect life to begin fighting for a better one. Get up. Learn. Work. Keep going. Your current situation is not your final destination.
Nobody is coming to save you. That sounds brutal, but it can also be the moment you take your power back. If you’re broke, build. If you’re behind, catch up. If you’re rejected, become undeniable. If you have nothing, start with whatever you have.
Because a country where ordinary citizens must know somebody before they can become somebody is not merely failing its people. It is teaching an entire generation that their dreams have a price and that sometimes, hard work is not enough to pay it. #Nigeria#NDA#Meritocracy
Nigeria 🇳🇬 has a serious problem, and we have become so accustomed to it that we barely react anymore. I wanted to apply to the NDA. Not because somebody forced me. Not because it was convenient. Because it was what I wanted. I told my parents. Their first question was.
When will a child of nobody finally be allowed to become somebody in Nigeria - not through connections, not through favour, not through influence, but through ability, character and hard work?
I see it. And every time, one thought comes back: “How I wish that were me.” Not because I hate them. Because I know what it feels like to lose an opportunity before you even get the chance to prove yourself.
Imagine a country where your own parents have seen the system for so long that their first instinct is to ask who you know not what you can do & the most painful part? I see people with connections enter the institution, move forward and live the opportunity I once dreamed about.
I told my parents.
Their first question was:
“Do you have a connection?”
Read that again.
Not Are you qualified?
Not Are you capable?
Not Are you willing to work for it?
Do you know somebody? That question says more about Nigeria than any politician’s speech ever could.
