Passion

Wikipedia defines passion is defined as intense emotion, enthusiasm or desire (I know I could have gotten a more dictionary like definition but this one just spoke to me). I am passionate about a lot of things for instance, my relationship with Christ, my family, some of my friends. I am extremely passionate about my country Nigeria. I am passionate about the people, the concentration of power and most of all the potential. I am very interested in good governance, traditions, institutions and processes that influence how power is exercised, how we citizens have a say in how our country is being governed and how decisions are made on issues of public concern. After all, conclusive solutions to these questions will go a long way in improving indices of development. Truthfully, I don't intend for this blog to be a Nigeria bashing one about how corrupt our leaders are, how the country is going to the dogs etc. Instead, I intend to examine and explore instances of how institutions, structures and policies in other countries have had a positive impact on their government, governance strategy, standard of living, health, education, security and most importantly the reduction of poverty. I will be highlighting instances where these institutions, structures and policies have also been successfully transplanted/home-grown in Nigeria or its states. I hope to learn new things and impart these newly learned things so...

Quo Vadis Nigeria because I am coming for the ride!!!!
