This is my second appearance in The Recycle Challenge, it's good to be part of this event.
This piece is inspired by the nature of the Nigerian political system and the rights of the citizens. It's the season to select a new leader, though we are categorized by three major regions, Western, Northern and Eastern regions (Wazobia) with different cultures and traditional values, their direction and focus is still one. "One Nigeria".
