ANSWER
2 )
We are now in a situation in our nation Nigeria, that the price of every single is rising up, which is affecting the majority (The average and poor ) of the masses in the country. Every single person in this nation is feeling the impact of the newadministration CHANGE, that majority of the masses voted for.
My write up is not to criticize the past or present administration which most people do , but to list out the major PROBLEMS and SOLUTIONS that can be of help to the present administration and to the masses of the Nation .

I will first by , state the Major Problems faced in the nation and followed by the Solutions that can be applied to solve the problems facing our nation , which are as stated ;
-BAD ECONOMY: As we all know the economy of our nation is bad at the present moment , which we all pray for it to get better and we are the only ones that can make it better by cooperating together , but have we ever considered knowing the reasons that our economy is bad? Many of us will say it ’s due to Corruption, which i agree with it and also disagree with it a little ; you may want to ask why? It ’s because we haven ’t really checked the sources of the things that are leading to the crumbling down of our economy and we need to tackle them from their sources, which are as follows;

1 ) VANDALIZATION OF OIL PIPE LINES : We can’t Judge what is happening in this region of our nation if we listen to one side of the coin without listening to the other side of the coin and that is what most people do. The bombing of the oil pipe lines is one of the things affecting the economy of Nigeria because Nigeria depend mostly on a SINGLE STREAM OF INCOME and if the bombing of oil pipe lines continues to happens , it will keep affecting our economy as oil is our major source of income, which is also used for different things in the country.
COMPLAINING AND WAITING FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE THE SOLUTIONS TO YOUR PROBLEMS: Most of the citizens of Nigeria are mostly fond of complaining and blaming the Government of almost every single negative thing that happens in their lives, which just shows signs of lack of thinking of that individual and not rising up against the challenges of his/ her life instead of blaming the government always andpeople around you for what is happening to you. The following are the solutions of which I think can be used to tackle the problems of the Nation .
1 )
RESOLVING THE ISSUE OF VANDALIZATION OF OIL PIPE LINES :
I will start by making statement ” We can’t solve an issue by killing one another , because it only leaves the issue unsolved and our coming generation will inherit the issue and keep killing one another ” The vandalization of oil pipe lines won ’t resolve the issue neither the deployment of soldiers there will solve the issue; instead the government should know the main reasons while this group of people are doing what they are doing.

 I heard the reason for vandalizing these oil pipe lines was because the people in that region where suffering from many things . Amnesty programme won’t solve the issue, instead the government should teach these people how to catch fish not how to eat fish by providing them with basic social amenities that these people need , such as; Standard Education , Good Roads , Empowerment Training etc. because there are people there with great ideas and potentials , who need education (knowledge) to develop these ideas into reality and peace will reign in that region and our economy will become strong again, since the nation depends majorly on Oil as its source of income

2 ) DIVERSIFICATION OF ECONOMY: A rich man doesn’t have one single stream of income he /she has up to or more than 7 streams of income. We can check the lives of the rich people in our nation , they have numerous sources of income and that ’s what the Government needs to start doing, instead of depending on one stream of income. Our government need to start thing big and wide like the way rich men do their businesses. We have natural resources all over
the country in abundance and great citizens with great ideas that the government and capable people can invest in these people with great ideas the resources we have , which will begin to develop Jobs for the people of the nation and also boast the economy.

Freetown,
Sierra Leone,
13th April,2017.

Dear brother Musa,
Many thanks for your last letter which got to me on the 27th March 2017. I was so happy when I read in your letter that you have got a new job. In fact, I was so happy that I called on the pastor to pray for us as family for God's continuous blessings. I hope John, Eric, Kadiatu and Mohammed are all doing fine. However, brother, I decided to write you this letter for the following reasons.

To start with, it is with great pleasure that I write to inform you about the prestigious house father has built for us a family. the house located around Spur loop close towards Chinese Embassy. It contains four rooms, a palor, toilets and Kitchens inside. The house worth three hundred million dollars and many people are demanding for the plan of the house. However, the has actually added to the prestige of our family. 

In addition to, the contractor who built the house said that the cost of the house cannot be compared to any other house around the area. Yesterday, father received a call from the president that the minister of external relations from Ghana will be visiting Sierra Leone tomorrow and he wants the minister to enjoy his stay in our new house. The president afford to give father fifty million leones as compensation. Apparently, father has accepted the money which was sent by the president in a form of cheque and father has decided to give the keys of the house to the police commissioner who has placed security personnel around the compound for the arrival of the minister of external relations from Ghana.

Furthermore, brother, Musa the new house that father built has brought respect and integrity to the family. In fact, yesterday father received an award from one of the prominent organizations in Sierra Leone called All Works Of Life ( AWOL) that father house won 2017 award as the best house in Sierra Leone. Following the award father received from AWOL, we have been receiving many calls from different agencies and government institutions to lease the house. In fact, one of the agencies has vowed to give father two hundred million leones annually for the rentage of the house. 

Finally, brother, Musa I know your holiday this year will be filled with joy due to what father has done for us. I'm quite sure that you will be pleased to live in the house than to stay in the hotel like you did the last time when you came. Besides, Uncle Mohammed who lives in London called father yesterday and told him that he would like to stay in the house upon his visit to Sierra Leone. Extend my greetings to everybody over there. When I have a little break at my office I will come over to see you and the rest of other family members over there.
Yours affectionate,
Abdulai.
