If it has been sitting idle for a while you need to change the oil, then try and notice the color of the smoke to tell you whether it is rings issue (white smoke), over dumping of petrol (black smoke), gasket issue (blue smoke).

Then find a mechanic to access the vehicle and point you on what you need to keep vehicle in top shape

People far bigger and better than me have suggested the way out several times but BAT isn't listening.

BAT needs to reform the public sector. He has been advised about this several times but he has ignored it. And why won't he? Its far easier to remove fuel subsidy and crow about it for 2 years than take on vested, entrenched interests in a historically underperforming federal bureaucracy. BAT has the largest federal cabinet in this country's history and he has made it clear he will not trim it down. But ordinary Nigerians have been forced to trim down and stop living the 'fake life' they were 'living' before he came in. Who are we fooling?

BAT needs to strengthen this country's institutions. It isn't his responsibility alone (our lawmakers have an even bigger role to play here than he does) but he isn't even trying. He can push through legislation to change the national anthem but he hasn't been able to make real progress on true fiscal federalism?

BAT needs to lead by example and stop the hypocrisy. Nigerians are tired of lectured and being preached to - while BAT never, ever lives by the rules he imposes on the rest of us. Imagine the kind of message that would have been sent if BAT declared his assets and tax returns publicly - ahead of next year's planned roll out of the new tax law. Imagine the impact. But it will never happen.

BAT cannot take this country to where it desperately needs to be.

Building 'world class' airports and setting up a 'world class airline' does not necessarily turn a country into a tourist destination/travel hub. There's a lot more to it.

Nigeria is not a country of laws. Millions of her people are poor, hungry and desperate. There is a low level war going on in large swathes of the country, and kidnapping for ransom is widespread. Not exactly a tourist friendly picture.

There's a lot of work to be done and BAT sadly, isn't the man who can lead the effort.
