This life is a Game!


What is this life but a big board game full of players? Players whose only goal is to get through the game a step ahead of the others and we thrive off of being more progressive and determined then our counterparts. Success is the point of the game and it is the ultimate goal. As human beings we must adapt to certain situations but it seems as if some people have become content with inadequacies. Adapting does not mean one should give in completely and accept social and political inadequacies. As human beings and citizens of nations we deserve basic rights, such as, protection, electricity, access to clean water, and the tools needed to create a successful life; if we choose success.


Unfortunately in some countries these basic rights are seen as a luxury and only available to those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, were lucky or those who decide to take it by force. So then do we blame those individuals who turn to a life of crime and deceit in order to survive? Or do we blame the government officials whose job is to provide these basic rights? The blame in my opinion falls on no particular person or system, the blame is equally shared amongst the people and those who govern the people. In this game called life players cheat and cut corners with the hope of reaching the prize before others. These cheaters have forgotten that no man can stand alone and that eventually their corruption will be exposed and they will be kicked out of the game.

Great players are those who truly succeed and ultimately  reach the prize! The game is not easy and often these great players will encounter many obstacles but these are players who have the future in mind and will leave behind a great legacy. These players are great thinkers who have great minds and attract other great minds.Great minds must collaborate and work together to regain control of Nigeria and together these great minds can create a country of leaders and together they will form a nation of great thinkers. So my question to you all is are you ready to play the game and if so are you one of those people who hurt their own just to get ahead? Or are you a player who plays fair and offers valuable techniques to those players who need direction? I mean are you a person of substance or a person who is empty and full of greed? Are you a thinker who feels you have the ideas needed to impact your society in the most positive way? If so there are others like you and I’ll introduce you to them….
