So many truths here sir . Loved this read.

No one is coming to save us - especially not the politician.

We have to make the changes that we want to see happen - everyone has a role especially those billionaires but, every other one of us who has a job and is fed up of waiting for other people to do stuff.

Our country has been stolen from us along with our brain cells . We need to fight for it back.

It starts with memory, mind and movement.

A lot of small differences could make a gigantic turn around over time.

I write about this kind of thing here : https://africatime.substack.com/p/the-remittance-trap-part-3-why-this

Couldn't agree more. Politics, at least the type of politics we play in this part of the world, cannot solve our problems. Not with the current crops of politrickcians ruining and queueing to ruin this country. Our liberation is in our hands. We Nigerians must roll our sleeves and get to work to build the better country we desire.

I recently read a piece that clearly illustrate your points from an economic perspective. You can read it via: https://medium.com/@drola/why-african-money-does-not-become-capital-884c10bf3a65

Capital in our collective hands is the future
