At 54 Nigeria was under the Goodluck Jonathan Administrtion, at 55 Nigerians made a choice for a change. 2015 was seen as the year of turbulence or what I call the "Nigerian apocalypse" due to the fact that it was the year of elections which is usually accompanied by our traditional post election violence. The world lost hope in us but we kept on believing. We showed them the part of us that has erstwhile been non existent, we showed unity, we showed peace and above all we showed Love. All these was sufficient enough to see a successful transition of government that made Nigerians record breakers! The first time an incumbent President lost his bid for reelection, the first time Nigeria ever had a realistic opposition party to the PDP and all whatnot. All these led to a change in the governing party from the PDP to the APC. With a new administration in power, Nigerians feel rejuvenated by the devotedness of the new regime towards its anti corruption campaign and insecurity. With the recent probe of the Senate President Bukola Saraki on the grounds of falsification of his declared assets, Nigerian politicians all got the fever that it would no longer be business as usual.

However, judging from the pattern of the anti corruption charge, one is tempted to notice the witch hunting nature of it. Nonetheless, it is a necessity to strike fear in the mind of political thieves and their cohorts, it is a bold step towards making public fund a less attractive way for public office holders to enrich themselves, its a bold step towards tackling the menace of corruption that has ravaged this country and its own economy.

We are winning the war on terror as #operationlafiyadoyle has so far proved to be effective as whatever is left of the boko haram sect has been proven to be pockets of resistance and people in Northern part of Nigeria go about their legitimate businesses without fear.

The power sectors has rapidly improved as it has been reported in some quarters that light stays on uninterrupted for up to 24 hours.

In spite of all these, a lot still needs to be done to put Nigeria where it is supposed to be, to put a nation so blessed with natural resources at the top of the food chain of great nations in Africa and beyond.

However, Nigerians can hold their heads up high knowing that we are making progress and we show more interest in matters that affect us the most in recent times than in the past.

Today Nigeria is 55 and we all have a reason to celebrate and to also reflect on the progress made by our prophets of 'change'and expect a genuine "breathe of fresh air" in our great State.

Say no to terrorism
#operationlafiyaDoyle
Happy independence day Nigeria
Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
