I want to share on the areas that need improvement in my community and Nigeria at large. Without any doubt there are lots of work that need to be done in my community sincerely. I don't want to just identify the problem alone but make suggestion on what could be done about the situation.
The political terrain has really destroyed some of the structure of the developmental strides in my community. I will quickly like to discuss some of these vital areas that needs intervention for better representation.

Educational services
It's commonly said that education is the bedrock of any society. One of the outstanding system that needs abrupt attention is education. No nation or community will survive in this modern age without a taste of educational services either formally or informally. The kind of educational system we have in my country presently is quite disheartening. Recently I was passing through a government primary school. The classrooms were two storey building but the wind blew off the roof for almost one year now. Guess what? Nothing has been done about it. Infact the zinc were even stolen by the immediate communards. How do you want the children to learn under such kind of environment? Even the so-called big men won't allowed their wards to attend such school.
I remembered in my days I never saw anything like desk in my class instead it was stones that we all sat till our graduation. This kind of situation still ravages most of our schools till date. If something can't be done I wonder what would happen in the next five years. Some schools might seize to exist. Government have a great role to play in revitalising the educational system. Some children can't read today because the environment wasn't conducive for learning at all whereas some teachers are not properly paid their incentives which would go a long way motivating them.
Motorable Road
This is another good area that must be looked upon properly. Most of our roads in Nigeria are very bad. For instance in my community where it supposed to take you less than one hour you would end up spending three hours driving. Hmmm is not just the issue of driving but the road is very rough and is a diapered settlement. There are lots of potholes. It will interest you to know this same village is so blessed with agricultural products that can easily spice the economical development of the nation. Good road should be constructed to enable communards bring out their farm produce to the market.
Need for steady electricity.
Do you know that most businesses can't strive in a place where there's no constant supply of electricity? My wife spent money to prepare three different expensive soup and we decided to refrigerate it while we were away for two weeks. Hmmm before we returned, everything got spoiled beyond recovery because there wasn't light supply. It's even a miracle for me to make this post at this time because of the epileptic power supply we do experience. This area if properly handled, it would help to lure more investors into the country for huge businesses. I'm still anticipating a time where my country will celebrate at 24hours uninterrupted supply of electricity.
Job opportunities
This area need serious improvement. Virtually every year thousands of graduates are produced hence no opportunity for employment for them to be gainfully employed. What is the essence of having plenty graduates without a plan for them? The rate of unemployment is quite alarming. Lack of job today makes most youth to sort for alternative way of making it by any means. The government and individuals that are well established should help to cushion this effect.
Security system
When the citizens are not secured how develop thrive? Insecurity issue has really paused great thread to people. This Monday, I visited a village and I discovered that kidnappers came in the night to pick the village head. They killed aide to the paramount ruler and abducted his son and wife. They are demanding for 2million naira as ransom. What a nation truly.
CONCLUSION
The aforementioned areas are key to have an improved community or society today. Both government and individuals must shun all act of corruption and work wholeheartedly to bring out the needed development we must take responsibility. Government has lots to do because they are the pilot.
