Thanks Milady. We are here to inspire and strengthen each other.

APC has no excuses not to deliver on their promised change regardless of how not ready Nigerians are for change.

I like PMB on a personal level cos of his disciplined mindset. We all encouraged a mess of a system Nigeria currently finds herself in one way or another and not even a collectively agreed saint Buhari is sufficient enough to deliver change. We all have a collective role to play.

What role are you playing towards being the change you wish to see in Nigeria?

LOL. Me sef is planing on “cutting out” and won't be coming back anytime soon. For real. Nigeria specialises on killing her prophets. I don't pray to get used to the Nigerian system.

More like going to a safer and saner environment to start a family and be closer to loved ones I would gladly rot in hell to make sure they are safe. I have few months to be emotionally detached from all that entails Nigeria.

Now, I remember giving PMB some Eke market days to fix things up or I walk. I thought it was all a joke till few weeks back.

But you know fixing Nigeria will take LONGER than the time invested in ruining it!
Let's be realistic Abeg!

To be realistic, Nigeria can't be fixed. It can only be patched and managed. The problem is structural, systemic and a disease of the mind. With the way PDP n APC are going about it, the cycle of no movement keeps repeating every four years.

You are safely locked away in obodo ndi Ocha so won't understand what it feels like to be a Nigeria. I always sense some crazy anger in the land when I take some walk to tap into others thoughts. It is always a hostile negative vibe that even a wrong. False prank alarm of Ole will get you lynched in an instant.

I had an experience today that made me question if we as Nigerians are ready for “Change”

I had cause to deposit some few bucks in bank. There's this new sky bank that opened for business few months ago so no much queues. I timed myself as usual that maximum fifteen minutes I'm done.

I met a shocker on entering the banking hall. I wanted to just turn back but I decided to proceed and join the queue only after seeking for the last person.

After like 30mins on queue, people were already getting agitated on how slow the cashier is--she's already stressed up and more pressures might make her do some mistakes which will always be deducted from her salary which may barely take her home. I asked the few people around to be patient and allow her time to do her job for it is not her fault that the bank is understaffed. I didn't know she heard it and looked up to me with that eyes of gratitude. I was happy I already made a soul happy today and prayed my good deed will be accepted by baba God.

Then this dude walked in-----Bodies tattooed,dressed like a gangster with a backpack and hands in pockets with some wired hair style. Dude filled out his forms sat for a few moment and then walked up to my queue---which is now 3 persons before my turn. He stood beside me and was all acting like a drug addict. I initially thought he might be an outrider sent to monitor proceedings before the real Men fall in. Have already prepared my mind and body for eventuality. Just immediately the it got to the turn of the man in my front--- a man I think in his 50's who acted a lil bit slow before the dude beside me tender his form to be processed. I was shocked the old man in my front looked at the dude and kept silent!!!

I as a matter of principle abhor any form of oppression and injustice. I asked the cashier lady not to attend to the dude cos he wasn't on queue. The dude was shocked at such effrontery. I've already scanned the dude and noticed I can take him out in less than a minute if the content of his bag does not contain nuclear warheads.

I tapped the baba on his shoulders to reassure him that he's safe and only need to say the truth cos the dude told everybody that he's in front of the baba. Baba says it was a lie. The dude turned to me and asked do I know who he is? I told him what ever you are is irrelevant to me as long as you join the queue. He raised his voice and every where was quite and thundered do I know who he is? I walked up to him pointed my finger to his flat chest and told him to his face in a calm cold deadly voice with every fiber in me giving him all assurances I told him in the quietness of the hall with all eyes locked on us that he's a chaff man.

Dude got the massage and quietly walked away and I went back to join baba who was processing his cheque. Dude then started abusing baba in some hard line yoruba. Most people were intimidated some few guys whispered why he was avoiding me was cos he knows I'm a worthy opponent. The was giving out deadly threats to baba that I noticed baba legs were bout shaking. With a hand on baba shoulders I reassured him he's safe as long as I'm here.

I was shocked the two guards there went to pacify the guy and took him to another queue where all the people gave way for him out of fear of the guy. The dude left the hall shouting that he will deal with baba. I finished paying in and told baba I will wait and escort him outside and make sure he's safe. He thanked me with a smile and said some prayers for me.

Baba then followed behind me on getting outside I couldn't see baba so I turned back to look for him but he's nowhere to be found. Then I saw the look on one of the security guys face and knew that I'm already a suspect with intent to lure baba and take his cash! That baba agreed to the ploy got me thinking.

1. Is it the case that at the late end they thought I and the dude acted it all up to lure baba and take his cash?

2.Do they think I was the bad guy?

I learnt some hard lessons today.

That's some experience. I find that because of where we've been coming from Nigerians are full of fear, which has held back so many from what they should do or say. The state of the nation is as a result of that fear as some look to manipulation to get their way. Never has there been a greater need for change as now because it won't get any better without deliberate efforts to change and help others do so as well. Gladly, more people are beginning to see the need. Many only still do have problems with getting along which is pretty normal.

My POV is of a national nature

Your responsibility to the nation is for yourself first. Like the lady said, the traits mentioned in the OP is to assess yourself with and it's disastrous measuring others with. Any issues you have with others are issues with yourself and not them. We all need to start to be responsible for ourselves and stop the complaining and blaming.

This story of change in Nigeria has largely been misrepresented and so misunderstood. They've been talking about change and I have been saying, 'how can a person or group of people give you what they don't have?' Considering the state of the nation I've not stopped asking the same question. But I'm not going to talk about politics because my life hasn't got anything to do with it.

However I will briefly talk about the need to change oneself and what it entails. In life we've come quite a long way growing up and during this time there are quite a number of things that we were thought that wasn't entirely correct. Things that played a part in depriving many people of the know-how to live. We were thought these things not because our parents and teachers disliked - I'm sure they did - but because it's what they had been thought as well and worked better for them than it is doing in this century of an ever-changing world.

Some questions to ask ourselves with an open mind and all the honesty we can muster are, 'why are things not exactly working for me as I'd want?' 'Why can't I live the life I truly desire rather than get mauled by circumstances?' 'Why do I have to settle for less than I can get?' 'Why are some people living in luxury even as they weren't born with silver spoons?' 'Why are the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer?'
The last two questions I will answer but the previous ones, you have to answer yourself.

It's becoming less of a secret that we as individuals possess great powers vested in us from our source. A fact that even though has existed from the beginning of mankind is still unknown to many. Now you look around the world and understand what power lies in the inventors and creators of the things of the world to enable them achieve such feats.
This power lies in the mind of every individual and people aware of it have succeeded in exploiting it to amass great wealth for themselves through great accomplishments expected of anyone that shares a likeness to the Creator, infinite greatness.

Because it's knowledge sought and applied to get results, there's a need for a transition from the ordinary to the extraordinary, from your comfort zone to your success zone, and this need is personal development and self growth. This only means that you can become a better person mentally, spiritually, physically, emotionally and financially. When you find yourself, only then can you realise the essence of the connection we all share as humans and why you should be good to others. And so as others succeed we all succeed, but when a few suffer the rest of us do so as well.

You again and your tendency to jump into conclusion.

Who's blaming? Tell me one thing that I mentioned there that isn't a fact.

I really don't need a lecture on responsibility because last time I checked no one helped me to where I am.

Yes, I do agree that development starts with self but then what happens after that? What is the essence of becoming rich when you will still have to buy fuel or diesel for your generator at the end of the day. After you develop yourself, it is important to spread your ideas to other people.

If you take time to really look inwards, you would understand no one is your competition but yourself. The issue isn't about me or jumping into conclusions. I only tried to help you see that it's not about who doesn't do what, but what you do and don't do. There's more during the journey of self development as there is a need to change the world but that's only when we succeed in changing ourselves. A problem is solved when you target the root cause. The root cause of a national issue depends on the individuals of the nation but if you don't see it from that POV, well then the journey continues. You're still gonna have to be responsible for what you understand though.
