INNOVATIVE CITIZENSHIP

It's easy to believe that anyone can hold the government responsible for their actions (which should be) but what obtains outside the realm of that thought is the difficulty in maximizing that which we believe and are advised by others to do.

Innovation as defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary is "a new idea, device, method ". The need for innovation in every aspect of life cannot be done away with as it ensures that our lives evolve thus making life better and interesting.

The last post highlighted the fact that good governance is imperative for sustainable development and this post seeks to highlight ways in which we can make the government accountable to its people.

You would expect me to highlight serially what can be done but that is not what this post will do as it is conventional bringing about the same results. A lot has been said on the internet and by experts yet only so much has been done. 

More can be done and achieved through what I call "Innovative Citizenship ".

Innovative citizenship is a form of active citizenship which involves seeking new ideas, devices and methods through which we can bring about a change in our countries, including the guarantee of good governance.

As an Innovative Citizen, you should search yourself for ways that you may participate in the governance  of your nation to bring about a change and accountability. No one should teach you how to exercise your right to ensure the government is accountable with all that you have entrusted in its care.

The global cry for development is multifaceted and requires action by everyone with the government being the ground for the synchronization of individual efforts. To this extent, just as we are encouraged to be innovative in our quest to achieve a sustainable world, so should we be in our citizenship in order to ensure visible progress and development.

Innovative citizenship pushes everyone to undertake the task of looking for new ways to participate in governance and with this comes the drive to follow through with such innovation. The sustainability of our actions seem more feasible that way.

Innovative citizenship brings about novel ideas to proffer solutions to issues caused by bad governance, thereby increasing the glimmer of hope in the guarantee of the fact that power rests with the people and must do so perpetually.

You must search yourself for your capabilities and interests, find a way to channel them into ensuring good governance wherever you are. It could be through your ability to research, speak or analyze amongst others. What is important is that you channel your energy and talents into ensuring that your country is purged of bad governance. 

The world you seek to thrive needs your innovation, what can you do about it?
