Nigeria is like an illness which show signs and symptoms of disease and will also show signs for recovering.

To understand if the nation is recovering, these are 5 signs to obeserve, feel free to add yours.

1. Presidential traditional attire - We always think we know better and have refused to adopt a corporate dressing as official wear for our presidents.

The global world is all about image. We are not representing and will never be taken serious with our presidential image. Our culture is not older than Egypt, China, Japan, Brazil and even South Africa yet these countries understand the assignment and adopt that serious outlook.

Funny enough, our presidents will dress in their own tribal attire while representing the entire nation - It depicts every thing wrong with us as a nation.

Please, don't compare us with middle easts, they practice monarchy. The day our presidents start dressing formally, means we're recovering.


2. You that Silly Staff use by military chiefs and some governors, it shows another level of unseriousness.. As yourself, who is their right mind who is focus to do a job will have time to carry staff about? Who even started such tradition, the day we phase that off, means the country is getting back on track.

3. Police and military check points - you will never know who weird this is until you have travelled far and wide. Only in war torn countries, do you see these things... Some will say they are fighting against insecurity but ask yourself, since you're born these men have been standing in checkpoints, have they stopped insecurity? Answer is No.

Insecurity is a strategic fight that need both covert and
socio-economic plan.

4. Nigeria flags mounted in houses, cars and road - OK, this one is deep.
When a country is united, they become patriotic and displaying national flags are one way people show their love and loyalty to their Nation.. When a NC man will embrace SS and a SW will see NE as a brother or sister. When a Christian in SE can trust a Muslim in NW, then a united nation is born.
When you see display of our flag everywhere and not just in banks and government institutions, smile for Nigeria is back on track.

5. Humility of the haves and the have not - This is probably the biggest problem we have as Nigerians.. When people want to be recognised to be greater than others.. Everyone wants to be addressed as Oga or Madam.
Have long covoy, noticed with security escorts, been honored in church, mosque with front seats and worshipped by the have nots..
Everyone wants to belong, to know someone who knows another who is connected.
The day our elected politicians will humble themselves to serve, when the rich sees themselves as just servants of the state and ordinary masses have different mentality of wealth, means Nigeria is on the right track..

In conclusion, anybody lying to you that Nigeria will be great without these signs is just a puppet.

Dollar will never fall, it will continue to rise, it's been on steady rise in the past 30 years and will continue unless we start changing our thinking and see our fellow Nigerians as brothers and sisters.

What does that mean?
Every nation uses their best to push themselves forward but if don't see ourselves as one like Buhari and Tinubu, our tribal men comes first whether they're competent or not when others feel marginalised or not.

You can never build a nation by division...
