Arise, O Compatriots
Nigeria's call obey
To serve our fatherland
With love and strength and faith
The labour of our heroes past,
shall never be in vain
To serve with heart and might,
One nation bound in freedom, peace and unity
I am a representative of Nigeria, the world's most populous black nation. We are Africa's behemoth, the continent's heart, and the continent's predicted economic heart. If Africa is to grow, Nigeria must be the driving force behind it. However, the country's recent situation has been dismal. Every day seems to bring new obstacles and struggles, and everyone, regardless of social status, appears to be unhappy.
The famous phrase "Japa! Japa!" is all over social media, and it signifies "to flee or depart a place." Nigeria has an estimated 211 million youngsters, with a substantial percentage of them lacking jobs or access to basic social services. Everyone appears to be hoping to leave the nation.
It is obvious that with a rapidly growing population, the necessity to establish a country that works flawlessly is critical; otherwise, we will be in problems, the nation will be damaged, and mending these damages will take a long time.
As your president, I've been tasked with rebuilding the country in 24 hours, which means I'm expected to act quickly and decisively. I am supposed to demonstrate to the nation that as a leader, I am incorruptible, deliberate, self-effacing, and self-spoken for a period of 24 hours.
The threats our country and our growing economy are increasing by the day: prior to the Ukrainian war, oil prices were low compared to what they are now, the famous Naira note is nearly worthless when compared to the dollar, and persistent terrorism and unrest in several regions of the country have resulted in civilian deaths.
As your president for 24 hours, I carry the mandate of millions of Nigerians across the country and even in the diaspora who are hoping that my tenure would yield tangible results for the country.
I have critically examined the following agendas for the rebuilding of our country. They include the following:
Corruption is the greatest threat to a country's development. Nigeria is ranked 154th out of 180 nations listed as corrupt in the Transparency International corruption report for 2021. The only reason the country is not functioning is because of corruption. Our economy and commerce system, health care system, housing system, power sector, educational system, job creation system, sport and youth development system, women development system, and so on are all examples of our failed systems.
Corruption is a pandemic in Nigeria, and it is one of the concerns that has yet to be addressed. Weak government institutions, a poor court system, and a poor political economy are the root causes of corruption in the country. Our lack of effective regulations and laws has resulted in power abuse, putting the majority of Nigerians exposed to corruption. My objectives to combat corruption include putting in place a system that will eliminate corruption's culture and legacy, reviewing and properly implementing economic changes like as privatization and deregulation, and rebranding the civil service by passing measures to protect the commission's integrity. Otherwise, the process will continue unless I pick individuals of integrity in the country to enforce these measures, rather than recycling old and dishonest leaders.
Our decaying institutions and processes would be reborn if corruption were to be eradicated. It would prevent the pandemic by acting as a vaccination. Housekeeping also includes changing heads of government institutions, commissions, ministries, secretaries, contractors, administrators, and basic civil staffs.
The majority of the federal government's institutions would be merged. There is no necessity for the government to run nearly 400 federal parastatals, and these parastatals have no good influence. Previous administrations have long utilized these institutions as a dumping ground for political allies and well-wishers, jeopardizing the nation's growth.
As a nation, we cannot promise that our citizens' lives will be safe. The citizens are subjected to harsh oppression by security agents. We have a developing issue of police brutality, which has resulted in the deaths of numerous young people with little or no action taken. Various parts of the country are on the verge of seceding, and little is being done to bring them together. Many internal concerns are arising in the regions, which are causing battles to break out.In the north, the country has technically defeated Boko Haram, but there are still tales of unrest, kidnapping, and banditry in the country.
As president, I would order that the police force be fully examined, that greater reforms be implemented, and that any organ of the police force with questionable conduct be disbanded. Victims of police brutality would be given the necessary legal hearings and judgments. A complete overhaul of the police force is also required. It is critical to have a round table conversation with leaders from diverse regions in order to unify the country.
Our military needs to be properly supported with military equipments and assistance. The necessity for an effective military leadership would be quickly evaluated, and a meeting with all military heads would be held, with military strategy being a major priority on the agenda, followed up by urgent action to win the war.
Every area of the country appears to be on the verge of failing, or has already failed. The Nigerian economy is in shambles, with a growing debt, a terrible health-care system for citizens, a failing power sector despite privatization, and a non-existent housing sector. With a growing unemployment rate, our children's future are uncertain.
As President of the Federation, I would enact legislation requiring us to set aside a portion of all national revenue for saving. Our privatization policies would be scrutinized, and any that were found to be inconsistent would be thrown out. Companies must announce and submit a transparent employment procedure under the supervision of government officials, which I will sign into law.
Federal projects must be evaluated, and contractors must be contacted to ensure that existing projects are completed. A bill on the development of significant cities in various parts of the country would be passed. The civil service commission must be viewed as the heart beat of our attempts to rebuild. Everyone in the country should have access to medical care within the country only, so that everyone will be concerned about the state of the health sector. This will help the health sector develop even after I leave office.
Nigeria's labor force of approximately 160 million youths must be diversified into diverse sectors of the economy, including agriculture, steel, and natural resources. It would result in job creation and a boost to our economy, lowering unemployment rate and ensuring long-term viability.
It is good to hear these great ideas from you, peace and security is what captured me the most.

I like how you outlined your agenda.
As regards house cleaning, I love the strategy you've planned to use but the painful truth is that corruption is embedded in our DNA. Its at all organizations including private sectors. Sometimes, I do wonder if we've been cursed to be corrupt in everything we do. I'm really tired of it.
