This is the time for a real change. Without our intervention and support for our leaders, things may degenerate beyond control but we have to act now. We are the present, I am not sure we can really say we are the future because our children are right behind us. They are the future. This is our time and posterity will judge us for inaction. Let us come together to effect the necessary but overdue changes in our system. We should appreciate the challenges bestowed upon us divinely and we should not fail in our responsibility to do the right thing. We cannot continue to shy away from our responsibilities.
From my experience so far, politics is not dirty but when we need to support our leaders to make it a worthy and interesting activity to the benefit of all. We should be determined to wrestle and rescue our nation from our brothers and sisters that had helped us this far, thank them for their efforts and start contributing our own quota. Corruption is our common menace, unemployment rate is very high and there is no existence of infrastructure. We must do something.
