The author talks about us as human beings, have
the right to choose where we want to be citizens of a society, by migrating to
a new country with the hopes of having a better life, to be able to “contribute
to society and to benefit from society”, but in Nigeria, if they dare to leave
they will suffer consequences.
The author questions “what does it mean to be a
citizen in Nigeria?”,
“Is
one still a citizen even when he could barely feed once a day? Is one still a
citizen even when there are no jobs to engage his mind and put money in his
pocket? Is one still a citizen even when he can’t afford health care?”.
He talks about the people of power doing wrong by the constitution. This article
makes you realize the importance of being a citizen, and a reminder that not
everyone has the same opportunities.
