Introduction
I came from Nigeria,the most populated country in Africa with over 2019 million people. Nigeria is known as Giant of Africa. I can say that everything that is happening in Nigeria is gigantic. Crime is double, price increase is double but still, people are still surviving in Nigeria. I am living in Uyo Akwa Ibom state. I love Akwa Ibom state because it is the most peaceful state in Nigeria. It has good roads, good hotels, good fishes from Oron and Ibuno. They have varieties of food and fruits that you will enjoy. I love Akwa Ibom so much that I will recommend it to everyone I love to come and visit or to live.
In this contest, I'm going share with you how safe my country is and how you will be safe in you are living in Nigeria or coming to Nigeria because there is no country without a problem, if they are not fighting, they are having earthquake or other natural disasters.
My country
Nigeria is a country blessed with abundance of mineral resources. We have vast deposit of oil, natural gas, we have coal, iron ore, we have tin, limestone and any mineral resources you can think of. Nigeria have agricultural Land. We have fertile land, favorable climate for agriculture. We produce crops like cocoa, rubber,palm oil, cashews and many more.
Nigeria has over 250 ethnic groups. They all has unique culture, language and traditions. When talking about human capital, Nigeria has large young population,60% of our citizens are under the age 25. Nigeria is naturally beautiful. Tourist attractions like Benin City National Museum,Kainji National Park,we have Osun Osogbo massacred Grove. Nigerians are talented. They make vibrant music, Arts,Afrobeats,Highlife music, We have craft Men.
We have varieties of food. jellof rice, suya, egusi soup, akara. Nigeria has numerous rivers,lakes, wetlands. They are all mineral water. When it comes to energy, Nigeria has tropical locations and ideal locations for getting solar energy. Nigerians are hospitable, they are resilient people. They don't fear challenges, rather they face it. In 2014, a Philippines said,one Nigeria is equal to 10 Filipinos. He said that Nigerians don't fear hard work, rather they simplify that big work and become millionaire from the business. You can see that with what we have,we can find it difficult to leave our country if it is properly managed.
Challenges of my country
Just like any other country, Nigeria has its own challenge. Nigeria is naturally blessed and it can be say that,she is one of the blessed country in the world. Economically we are poor rating number 6 country that are poor. Some of our natural resources are not used well and we need more good leaders so that our economy could improve.
when it comes to security, we faced with so much insecurity in different parts of the country. Bokoharam, terrorism, crime , scams and fraud is alarming in Nigeria but this does not mean is unsafe to live. As you know, there is no perfect country or a one without a challenge but individual can stay safe if they know what to do to remain safe.
Safety in Nigeria
Nigerian government has put in place all security agencies to secure life and properties of Nigerians. If we listen to instructions,we will stay safe. Many Nigerians do not listen to instructions and this has led to death of many. For example, government will announce sit at home for some reasons and people will go out and risk their lives.
If you are in Nigeria and you mind your business by not putting mouth or eye in something that does not concern you, you will be safe. Learn to be safe concious if you are in Nigeria. One good example is, when driving, check out if there are other vehicles following that route, if yes, it is safe but if not, it means is not safe, the best to do is to reverse back. What if a fellow driver inform you that,there is danger, going back will the option rather than going forward to meet the danger. Lock your door at night. Don't carry expensive bags or wear expensive clothes when going areas that are not truly safe. With these it shows one is safety concious. Monitor local news, secure safe accomodations and always check surroundings.
Countries to choose
If I have opportunity to leave Nigeria, I will love to leave Nigeria to country like Canada as a visitor, 1 also love to go to USA, JAPAN , I will love to visit them, enjoy life and come back to my country. There is much more to achieve in Nigeria, we have a lot of opportunities in Nigeria that is why foreign companies are coming to Nigeria to establish a big business. In Nigeria today, we companies from Japan, India, China, Cameron, Turkey, Ghana, South Africa etc, that are operating business in Nigeria and they are doing very well.
Conclusion
I love Nigeria because of all the natural resources that God gave us. The people of Nigeria are talented with so many skills. We have food. I invite you to come to Nigeria, it is safe for you and others
