I AM CHANGE

I like democracy because it gives everyone a say in the issues and laws that impact them in the society. Thus, requiring public officials to deliver on the people's expectations. Nigeria's democracy is imbalanced and in danger because a few groups of people are sabotaging the efforts of the majority.

So, the system must come up with a working plan that promotes safety, equity, merits and accountability for the benefit of all. This will help tackle the issues of corruption and insecurity; as well as the feeling of marginalisation and hopelessness among the people.

Nicole is the Founder of Sacred Society, a social system that fosters supportive ways to engage Black Girls, Women, LGBTQ, and other historically marginalized communities.
