Introduction

When a nation has got a tragedy or a problem it's when most people come up with related advice, criticism or commentary about poor governance, corruption and name the rubbish. However people have failed to notice this ever existing fact that a nation begins with the individuals.

When you look at this in a wider perspective you may find that most cases of corruption, nepotism, racialism are products of either poor up bringing of some individuals, over confidence and pride, or poor social behaviors and relationship.

A nation may be compared with a building. When building you first of all prepare and plan for the costs, time frame, and materials for the project. Let's first of all look at the building materials and their effect on a building.

When a building is constructed using the weak building blocks or bricks its strength is going to be doubted. however, when a house is constructed using strong building blocks its strength and life span is going to be the owners pride.

When we go back to the issue of a nation the building blocks are the individuals. When the individuals do not go through the necessary steps of upbringing, the nation will be compared to the house constructed using the weak building blocks. its existence and life span will not stand the test of time. If a for example a nation has got a learned but not educated leader these will be the characteristics of his/her reign;

1. that leader will be so proud and over confident which will make him treat the rest with disrespect and contempt.
2. He/she will not consult with the subjects for the way forward about given issues this will with in a given time turn him into a despot.
3. the way that person looks at given issues will be so disturbing and annoying that a person who gives him advise will be treated as a rebel.

Looking at the other side of the coin when a nation has well baked strong building blocks its strength and lifespan will stand the test of time given the fact that these individuals are well educated and at the same time learned the they handle issues right from their homes, community, nationally and internationally will be outstanding.

I will be bringing you more about building a stable and notable nation, with more emphasis on the duties of individuals in nation building and the responsibility of religious leaders and houses, media houses, schools and social circles.
