1. God will pick up my call: This is an assumption that is very popular among the poor in this country. This assumption easily bags the FALSE tag. Here is why: Thousands of Nigerians die daily. Most of these die poor. Clearly God is not picking up their call.

2.Nigeria go better: A common phrase that appears to be as old the country itself. While this phrase seems to be a good patriotic pep talk its veracity is questionable. I rank it MILDLY FALSE Here is why: with an ever increasing population and diminishing resources, its obvious that capable leadership is required all across the country for its survival let alone for it to thrive. Unfortunately, this kind of leadership has been absent for the most part.

3. Military rule will never return in Nigeria: I will just go straight to the point here. This assumption is FALSE. Here is why: While I agree that military dictatorship won't come back anytime soon, I believe it will eventually return. Here is a a scenario: The 3 big generals: Obasanjo, Buhari and Babangida are no longer alive. Couple that with a country seeped in sectarian and tribal discord bearing on instability, and economic unrest you then have the perfect conditions for an ambitious military officer to overthrow the government. If you know history, you know what am talking about.
