Nigerians the changes we so desire start from WITHIN...
We don't have to die, we don't have to fight or divide the nation either forcefully or peacefully. Neither am I talking about a battle or physical fight. We simply need a total change of our bad mindsets.
Lets change the way we think of others, let us judge others by their deeds and character not by their tribe, religion, economic status or political party.
Lets treat all others fairly, from within our immediate families including, in fact ESPECIALLY our domestic servants, let's treat our workers and subordinates at work with respect and dignity.
Let's apply or ATTEMPT to apply justice and fairness in our dealings with all others, ESPECIALLY those we have some degree of power or control over.
Let's think of others AS WELL AS ourselves. Let's care for the least amongst us, the widows, orphans, homeless, disabled, insane and the elderly, individually and as a community..
Nigerians ALL belong to one social group or the other, whether it be Mosque, Church, Fellowship, Village meeting, Old Boys Association, Alumni, Social Society, Miyatti Allah, gbogboee, all join.
Let's focus the attention of whatever groups we belong to, towards helping the needy and underprivileged in our society.
When we ALL or a significant majority of us stop being so selfish, individualistic, greedy, vain, egotistic, UNJUST and callous towards others, ONLY THEN will we produce real leaders who will be just, will care about the nation and it's people and start leading us right.
Until then nothing for us O. No kind of superficial political reforms will ever work until we all change from within for the better.
At least that's what I honestly think, cheers my friend and brother Kelechi Ogbuehi 😀😀

Well, it's great to think this way, but it's largely 'takking above our heads!" The things that cause Nigerians to be this awkward way, are more than can be persuaded in s different direction by conscience talk - there is an assurance that government and no one else cares about us, so it reads like everyone for himself... desperation sets it, dog-eat-dog, do or die, survival of the fittest! Until out leaders show visible hope, until we fix the deliberately broken education and health sectors, we will continue to turn out a continuous stream of untrusting followers who see that their first instinct is to survive, survive first!
