Keep Nigeria Great

   It is good to see that Nigerians are excited about the upcoming elections. From the comments and updates, it seems like people are becoming more aware of their civil rights as the citizens of this great Nation.
    Great nation sounds ironic especially because of the current situation we are in right now. That actually is the reason for this right up. The Baga massacre was a dark, tragic and one of the worst ever experienced in Nigeria and yet, the killing is still going on.
    We have citizens who can barely afford food; fathers who can't take care of their families; people dropping out of school; unemployed graduates all over the place; I could go on and on but you already know the rest.
    The Baga incident should have taught us that the world will only help us if we are willing to help ourselves. So while discouraging election violence; because let's face it, too many of us have died already. This election should be about all of those I mentioned. Tribes and religions will thrive irrespective of the candidates, those of us who have been affected in one way or the other won't.
    Vote into power leaders who will wipe the tears of our loving parents; bring back our girls; stop the killing of our countrymen;  bring our people back home; uphold the unity and restore the greatness of our country. Nigeria has always been a great country. Let's keep it that way please.
