Truth be told, politics is a very dirty game in my country, it's a game that people can do anything just to get into power, they hurt one another, kidnap themselves and some even go to the extent of killing their fellow contestant or anyone trying to get in their way. It's also not a news that most of our leaders are very corrupt, it's all over the news, the records are there and it's a shameful thing. So many records of how one person in power will embezzle the funds that ought to be used to cater for the needs of the people, it's totally uncalled for and it's a wicked act but that's the trend in my country, Nigeria.
My country is blessed with so many natural resources so much that with it alone, the citizens should be enjoying and the country should be among the most developed country but no, some people are busy packing the funds for themselves and not even thinking about the welfare of the people, it's very bad. We should be our brothers keeper, but reverse is the case here.
The system is just so dirty that I don't want to be part of it but then I realized that if we keep saying the system or game of politics is corrupt and dirty and the good ones keep running away from it that means the country can never be good talkless of being better. Although some of the so called good ones before they joined politics or get to the top became worse when they get into power, maybe it was the system that made them corrupt or they were already corrupt just looking for a good medium to showcase it.
It's glaring that the bad eggs are more than the good ones so even though you have the intention of being different, those that will corrupt you are already on standby, if you're not strong enough, you'll fall victim.
Personally I'm not interested in the game of politics, I don't even want it, I just want to have my money, be able to afford anything I want. I'm trying to avoid the game of politics because I know how dirty it can be. There are people that can go any length just to be in power, they don't mind killing anyone that wants to stop them. And I'm not the kind of person that's ready for war, that will not be able to sleep comfortably in my room or that I'll start to panic about the safety of my family, I don't want that kind of life.
That being said, I can only join politics if and only if the system has changed, maybe some people has devoted their time and resources to flush out the bad eggs and then I can think of joining but anything apart of that, count me out.
The aim of people joining politics should be about how to serve the people, how to make the country a better one but no it's the other way round in my dear country Nigeria, the politicians are getting fatter while the citizens are getting thinner day by day because of hunger, a common man can't afford to eat good meals again, the price of goods and services had skyrocket and it's still skyrocketing till now, only God knows where we're headed. The minimum wage is nothing to write home about, but the government are there enjoying a luxury lifestyle, alot of things is wrong with the country, the system is corrupt already, so it needs to be corruption free before I can join.
God bless my country, God bless your country.
