Buhari Lambasts Nigerians, Says Change Isn’t About Economic Progress by electropiz(m): 3:08pm On Sep 08, 2016 |
President Muhammadu Buhari has said that before Nigerians demand to see the changes he promised them during the 2015 election, they must first change their own attitude by shunning corruption and other social vices. He adds that change is not about economic or social progress, but it is in terms of citizens’ personal behaviour. Buhari said this while delivering a speech at the inauguration of the national re-orientation campaign tagged, ‘Change Begins With Me’ in Abuja on Thursday. The President acknowledged that Nigeria is currently passing through a challenging period where hardly anything works normally. He lamented that honesty, hard work and godliness had given way to all kinds of manifestations of lawlessness and degeneration in our national life. Buhari said, “Our citizens must realise that the change they want to see begins with them, and that personal and social reforms are not a theoretic exercise. If you have not seen the change in you, you cannot see it in others or even the larger society. “In other words, before you ask ‘Where is the change they promised us?’, you must first ask, ‘How far have I changed my ways? What have I done to be part of the change for the greater good of society?’ The President said his government had done well in the fight against corruption, adding that the fresh campaign was a way of getting Nigerians to join in the struggle. He added, “The campaign we are about to launch today is all about the need for us to see change, not merely in terms of our economic, social progress but in terms of our personal behaviour on how we conduct ourselves, engage our neighbours, friends and generally how we relate with the larger society in a positive and definitive way and manner that promotes our common good and common destiny, change at home, change in work place, change at traffic junction, change at traffic lights, etc.” He said the value system of the nation had been eroded and that was why students would prefer to embrace cultism rather than face their studies. He said it was for the same reason youths were vandalising oil pipelines thus robbing the nation of much-needed resources. Buhari said the disintegration of social values encouraged impunity and corruption in the public sector which ultimately led to the current economic recession.

I pity those who hung their hopes for Nigeria's revival on these shameless politicians. There's no need to gloat over what is an obvious betrayal on the part of the ruling party, but I just can't help saying that I saw this coming. When a man who has contested for the presidency of Nigeria for up to three times fails to appoint ministers six months after assuming power, then the obvious conclusion is that he was not prepared for leadership. What amazes me is that many Nigerians still persist in the fantasy that this government will somehow improve miraculously and begin to fulfill its campaign promises. In my opinion, that delusion is the greatest tragedy of the moment. |

Buhari and Nigeria's case can be likened to a couple in marriage counseling who were told to ask each other one question to understand why the husband beats up the wife. Wife's question to husband - Why do you always beat me up, even on a very small matter? Husband replies - Because you are very stubborn and don't listen to me. Husband's question to wife - Why are you so stubborn, you did not even listen to your mother when she told you not to marry me? Wife replies - because I thought you would change. OfBiafra 1 Like |

basilo101:rather ask yourself, why is the government of today not completely different from the government of yesteryears? it is a continuous cycle of mediocrity that can only be stopped when CHANGE occurs. I see this campaign as a positive thing because we the citizens can take advantage of it to reconstruct our government to reflect our values. But that can only happen when one has values in the first place. |
