Meet the Netherland/Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte going to work.
Such an embodiment of Service and Humility.
But in Nigeria, an ordinary politician moves around with hundreds of security detail, blasting our ears with sirens.

I really appreciate Mark Rutte, the current Prime Minister of the Netherlands. He has been in the present position since 2010. He is very hardworking and down to earth. He goes to office everyday in his bicycle. He teaches in a school once in a week. I draw inspiration from him. pic.twitter.com/uZb1AzEd6Z

#Netherlands Prime minister cycles his way to the office motivating many citizens. Even our ministers would have chosen the same Avenue had our roads been motorable and fit for cycling. Blame the #Potholedroads and not the minister's pic.twitter.com/OvRjc2Tei7
