Life must be lived in a favorable and conducive condition. Life does not have duplicates. We have just one life to live and in my opinion it is wise to live one’s life where one can have peace and enjoy good conditions that facilitates fruitfulness and productivity. There is no need to be deceptive about it. There should not be any pretense about it. We have the right to pursue our lives with the aim of finding fulfillment even if it means moving out of your native land.
The question of whether I love my country or not does not have essence here. I do love my country. I truly do. I love my fatherland with all my heart. But when it comes to pursuing my life, I will not hesitate to grab any opportunity that will lead to my prosperity. It is my earnest heart desires that my country become a destination where everyone will love to live. I want all the unfavorable political and economic conditions plaguing my country to be over.
No Time
It is now that I am young that I can build a meaningful life for myself. To do this, I won't entertain any setbacks or delay in fulfilling my destiny. In the light of that, I will not build on the primitive mentality of growing and dying in my father's house. I will welcome any opportunity which opens up for me to find my life fulfillment in whatever country that I might consider fit and comfortable for me. There is no time to waste in a country in which the ruling class has destroyed by their corrupt practices.
The question by @ericvancewalton on the #memoirmonday initiative for week 35 requires a sincere response. I am giving my sincere response. The #memoirmonday prompt is here
My country is supposed to be a good country for one to live in. I live in my country, Nigeria presently. The economic conditions of Nigeria does not encourage young growing youths to succeed. The government (out of greed and corrupt mindset) has destroyed the infrastructures of our beloved country. There is absolutely nothing worth holding on to in Nigeria. So, as someone who desires to succeed in life, I would love to live in one of the developed American or European countries. How I wish this was a reality not a fiction, 😊. Thank you for reading my thoughts.
