Hello friends

influence and authority belongs to those who have worked themselves into it

If you were the president of your country, what would be your top three priorities and why?

Been a president is really a serious matter and a high office. I am from Nigeria and if I was the president of my country, there are surly some things I would look into making sure that they are handled.

• Health of Every Citizens

The state of health of a country matters so much and how then can a country be healthy if the citizens are not? This is why one of my top priorities is the health of every citizen.

If we're the president of my country, I would focus on the health of my people, providing them with good equipped hospitals, laboratories and pharmacy where they can be properly taken care of, guess what ? this medical treatment will be free.

I would also get more medical scientists to make researches on many incurable sickness that has terrorized my people such as sickle cell anemia, HIV, stroke, kidney failure and many others.

If the people are in health, they will be more proactive to themselves, family, community and the country.

• Skill Acquisition

A skill is something you acquire or learn. It is something you do and get perfect in it.

If I was the president of my country, I will focus on skill acquisition for all my citizens. Imagine if all my citizens do not need to depend on only the government before they can fend for themselves.

The reason why I would focus on skill acquisition for all my citizens is because of the rate of poverty and unemployment in my country. But if I encourage and empower the people with free skill acquisition, it will definitely solve the problems of poverty and employment. Every family will be able to stand and support one another and suffering taken away.

I would establish free centers for this skill acquisition, such tailoring, carpentry, welding, painting, art, hair making, make up, need making, baking, solar installation, and many other skills that you can think of.

• Education for all

Many say education is expensive and I totally agree. Education for the people eradicates ignorance.

If I were the president of my country, I would focus on the education sector of my country. I have noticed that over the years, the education sector of my country has not been working the way it's supposed to work.

I will build new school, such as primary to secondary schools down to universities, poly and college of educations in all the 36 States of Nigeria with great standards, afterwards I will employee only qualified teachers to handle these schools.

I want my citizens to be empowered with power therefore, education gives them this power.

As president, what specific steps would you take to improve education and healthcare systems in your country?

I think I already made this point clear in the first question but I would like to add some things.

We have many smart people in my country, but most of them lack the right education to plunge into the realm of professionalism.

One of the ways to improve education and health care is first retraining the teachers , lecturers and medical personnel's that we have in those sections. If possible, I will invite specialized people from abroad to come and retain them.

Secondly I would build more hospitals and schools especially in rural areas where the do not have access to it. More hospitals and schools will be constructed.

Thirdly, I will make this medical treatment and study in these schools I have built free of charge so that more people can have access to it especially those ones who are not financially stable.

The hospitals, laboratories and pharmacies will be equipped with all the right tools, equipment,drugs, injections and machines needed by the citizens.

Doing all these, will surely improve the health care and education of my people.

As a president, what challenges you could face in improving the overall condition of your country?

There are many challenges one face when trying to cause a change in ones life and this is no exception to been a president.

There are two major challenges I think I would face and they are;

• Challenge of expectations not meant as at when it should

This is my biggest challenge as a person. I do not like to fail. When I set my targets and plan I like to see to it till the end putting in all I have into it and guess what? If the result produced is not what I want, it really breaks me.

• Oppositions to my government and projects

This is another challenge I would face as a president because there are many bad people that loves how bad the country has become because it benefits them. I see these people as corrupt.

So these sets of people can try to stand against or oppose the change I want to cause in the country.

Would you do something new to write the history of your country? What will it be?

Yes I would do something new as a president that would write the history of my country. There are two major things I would do;

• Bring back transparency in government

Over the years, my country has become so corrupt in many areas that should not be. There are things citizens are meant to receive for free but they don't. Lies and corruption has become the order of the day. So I will make sure to write history by bringing down those walls of corruption and lies in government.

The nation will be transparent in all things, all sectors will give account of their jobs, projects and finances used at all times.

• Restore trust of government

Many citizens in my country don't trust the words of their government like governors and Presidents. I will restore trust. The citizens will be able to trust their local authorities, their politicians again. I will make sure every word or promised made must be done.

I totally believe these will cause a radical change in my country. Fear and lack of trust will be taken out of the picture for ever.
