I write this as a rejoinder to Popesam1 's thread on 7 simple things we can do as Nigerian citizens to show change has begun with us. I arguably and totally disagree that ANY MEANINGFUL change should begin with me, rather the desired CHANGE should start from the leaders, and I mean President Buhari himself, and his cabinets!

Despite the America running a capitalist economy, yet she builds her economic principle on the provision of 3 basic needs of life: FOOD, CLOTHING and SHELTER. Any government that cannot provide these 3 basic things isn't doing well at all. Securing lives and properties isn't the major purpose of government (though very essential). But what property has a poor Nigerian - an hungry man, jobless, who has no food to eat, can not pay his rent and subsequently ejected by the landlord: and has no hope about his life. Can government prevent people from committing suicide due to economic hardship?

The change must begin with Buhari by doing these, then I can also consider #Change from their perspective
1. Buhari should bring back $1 to N197
2. Bag of rice should go back to N7000
3. Price of bread should be reset to default
4. Give artesunate to our malaria infected economy by bringing on board Professional developmental economists to formulate better economic policies, not those we have that are learning on the job.
5. Create more employment opportunities by providing enabling policies for local industries and patronizing their products
6. Invest more in our comatose educational system
7. STOP LYING, PROPAGANDA and empty unrealistic promises and cut cost of governance.

Then the change can #ContinueWithMe

The man should just suffer a heart attack or stroke....whatever mean! Let him just die and leave us!
