Whenever you hear about CHANGE first try to understand the type of change involved because there are two type of changes " Positive and Negative change"



President Buhari APC promised Nigerians a change during the campaign which we believed it was a positive change but the truth is that many Nigerian's don't know if this change is about Good or Bad.

I always say that is too early to know if we are in good hands or wrong hands but the fact remains that i have never seen that positive change and i will tell you what i see.

This government concentrated more in fighting corruption but left other things that needed urgent attention which we know in Govt nobody is a saint.

Which Govt is better?
=> With Corruption Govt fuel is sold at N87 while with No corruption fuel is sold at N150 and above presently.
=> With Corruption govt dollar exchanged between N180-N199 while with No corruption dollar is sold between N300-N400

Everything have changed and if i keep giving examples you will be tired to read what you have already known but the truth is that Nigeria is currently facing unbearable hardship i had never seen before and the worst is that our Govt are not paying much attention to the current situation while concentration on bring stolen money back and stopping Biafrans from existing or talking but the truth remains that you can't beat-up a child and tell him not to cry and even if you do he will still cry.

I don't know how you enjoy this present Govt but in my own opinion i really prefer my life as it was than this present govt unless something is done very fast.

In leadership when you claim that the person before didn't do well then you prove it by doing something far better, it's not about what you say is about what you do.

This dangerous times, with dehumanizing episodes and scenarios that try men’s souls, appear to be sliding deep down into the pit of squalor and despondency. More and more Nigerians are endangered by the day as succor distances itself from our land. Money is scarcer, jobs and gainful engagements rarer, hope on the run and confidence on a flight of fancy.

The dollar rate hovers beyond reason, power outage is resident here, fuel scarcity walks side by side high unemployment, cost of living impoverishes tens of millions, out of school children cross 10 million mark and our population is mushrooming, set to make us the world’s third most populous nation.

Now is not a good time to be a Nigerian. This is not the time to struggle to make ends meet. But patriots believe it will get so hard and difficult and depressing before it begins to get better. Many chorus, but we never thought it could get this bad. It has, and worse than anyone imagined.

How will we tell when it begins to get better. What are the signs that will tell the beginning of real change?

1. When it is clear corruption will be severely punished and looters are stripped of their ill gotten wealth and are serving terms in prisons. When this series of trials of corrupt public servants and their cronies get into serious stages, suspects begin to lose their swagger and braggadocio. When their loots are traced and their co-conspirators are made to sing dirges, and they realize that the tune has changed. Everyone will know that a new regime has started, and we will all fall in line. Our commonwealth will be difficult to pilfer.

2. When flamboyance and mindless display of splendor vanishes from public offices. Those in public office will realize they are servant leaders and stop living large, spending public money on frivolity and run government more frugally and mindfully. Long list of aides will disappear, government houses will become simpler, officials will fly economy or business class, sell the private jets and other nonsensical acquisitions. When First Ladies take the back seat and are not heard and seen.

3. When power outages become few and far between. When all the talk of decades and indefensible expenditure on power stop. And we begin to see real changes in power output. When electricity is on more than half of the day so that enterprises and big businesses can concentrate on their production, instead of how to generate power. When Nigerians can enjoy at home and sleep at night restfully.

4. When the refineries are in full swing and we no longer import petrol. That will be a good sign that our government is now serious. Nothing can explain a major producer of crude oil importing refined products. All the excuses invented by corrupt officials cannot hold water. We must refine our oil and turn the sector around for good. Then, there will be no shortage or scarcity at the pumps. And prices will be stable and reasonable.

5. When manufacturing thrives and we stop importing all sorts of things. Big factories, humming and producing essential items, are the hallmark of a progressive nation. When needed goods are produced here, with majority of the raw materials sourced locally, the manufacturing sector booms. More people are engaged, they oil the economy with their spending and the land becomes colourful and beautiful. A nation must produce items that its survival depends on. You should not import basic items which will wipe away your foreign exchange reserves. Only specialised items are imported by nations with conscientious leaders.
