Dear Politicians, Take A Look In The Mirror

This is a wake-up call for all politicians and those across Africa. It is time for them to look in the mirror, they should roll up their sleeves and put in the work, Africa is sinking and our value has continued to decline on the world scale; being a Nigerian is defined by struggle and adversity, meanwhile, politicians are gallivanting in their 2025 SUV vehicles, this reflects how nonsensical the ideologies of the leaders have been- it has been shambolic, irrelevant and irreverent as it serves little to no purpose.

African leaders need to take a look in the mirror and do the needful. They are in the position to create a life worth living; empower and lead the countrymen with excellence.

If they are unable to do the job, they should step down and let someone who is a visioneer take the nation to the next phase.
