*WE CAN MAKE IT BETTER*

Everyone knows that the situation in nigeria is not quite encouraging but what baffles me is why a high number of the nigerian populace are fleeing from their country to other countries.Nigeria is not in a good shape right now, yes, and our leaders are not helping issues either, and to make it worse the opinions of the citizens is sometimes not taken into consideration,but if everyone should start leaving who will make it better.Afterall the countries those people are migrating to started from somewhere,rome was not built in one day and so was no where else.Take for instance,America was once a poor struggling country,but now it is a country with good achievements where you find people from all tribes.Don't you think that if the citizens of america left their country then,it wouldn't have gotten to the stage it is now.It doesn't just have a good economy to a reasonable extent but it's one of the most popular country in the world.Remember  the  quotes of martin luther king jr. when he said"The ultimate measure of  a man  is  not  where  he  stands  in  moments  of  comfort  and  convenience, but  where  he  stands at times  of  challenge  and  controversy".We as citizens of our country should have faith, be ready and  determined, as these are the key words to conquering  problems.Are the lines of  our national  anthem  just for the sake of singing it? i quote martin luther once more,it goes"Faith  is  taking  the  first step even when  you don't see the whole staircase".All we need is for  people or rather someone  to take a bold step.He also said that"Human  progress is neither automatic nor inevitable.....every step toward the goal of justice requires  sacrifice,suffering,and struggle,the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals".Nothing good comes easy and that is why we have to give success a trial in our country.
We are not lazy people but hardworking ones,why do we have to go to another man's country instead of remaining in our country to make it better, and that way citizens of other countries can come to stay as well?All we do is lament all the time,but lamentation will not solve the problems,what we need is readiness to conquer these disturbing issues and trying to profer a solution.Fellow nigerians,let's be wise,it's not like there are white collar jobs waiting for us in these countries we flee to,it's struggling and husting all the way.Isn't it better to hustle in  your country and achieve something great?Moreover,there's no place like home.''THINK ABOUT IT''

Acting so far.....

The nigerian movie industry,as we all know today is growing rapidly.The industry has an impact on the general public.As the saying goes,''there's nothing that has an advantage that doesn't have a disadvantage.the nigerian industry might have it's good parts but i also think there are bad parts which needs to be checked.sometimes i wonder if they're trying to imitate hollywood or it is just their own way of trying to improve their standard or rather a way to make faster money.i'll just go straight to the point.let's start with the advantages.most nigerian films that are acted are things that actually happen in the real world,and these stories try to remind the viewer that their are some issues which have to be handled rightly when it comes to morals,personality,things that happen in the society at large,the family and so on.....these stories tend to create a picture of the challenges in the real world and general happenings and sometimes their solutions.
Now going to the disadvantages,hmmmmm,it's something else.there are now gay movies and even blue films,i wonder what message the writer of such is trying to pass to the viewers.these days everybody watches movies,from primary school kids to the working class.imagine the effect of such nasty movies on the kids especially.some actors/actresses say that they act for the passion and not the money,does that mean that because one has passion for something there should be no limit.i hate the part where some of them even say''it's my job so i have to do it''. but i believe there's always a choice to everything it's not like one is been forced to act certain roles.as a matter of  fact some of  them have even been stereotyped when it comes to certain ugly roles.we are in Africa and it's image is being changed.yes,it's good and neccessary that one has to be a round character,but like i said before there ought to be a limit.anyways,so far so good nollywood is moving to the next level and is adding more quality but there should be precautions.
