At about 3:00am, I walked into the patients' ward in one of our highly esteemed teaching hospitals in Lagos-Nigeria to check up on a relative.

I passed a security man at the entrance to the department as I forced the slide door open. I muttered a good morning and made past him.

The corridors and passages were deserted. No patient, doctors, nurses, or security men were in view.

I passed the ground floor, and headed for the 1st floor through the stair case, I got to the 2nd floor and then, made for the ward. Strangely, I still found no one in sight.

I pushed the massive door that leads into Ward-A open and still, not the faintest sound from anyone.

So, I entered into the room where my relative was, checked on her, gisted with her a bit, still no one was in view or even heard us.

Of course, the other patients were snoring.

Now, there are no CCTV cameras installed, which means I could have injected any of the patients with a strange chemical, or pressed a pillow over their heads to cut off air supply like Jim Iyke in Nollywood movies.

As I made my way out, the nurses and security guards continued to snore off wherever they were.

You see this our Nigeria, it will take more than a good president to fix it.

And the reason is simple:

Nigeria is not just the president. Nigeria is you and I, and it can only be fixed if we all take responsibility.

Pray all you want. Fast join sef. If we refuse to take responsibility as individuals, nothing will change for us as a nation.

The malady that unfolded before me had nothing to do with President Buhari. It was a flaw, a lapse by citizens who are paid salaries but left their duty post. It's called negligence.

A lapse that could cost lives. A negligence that rubbishes our identity as a people.

You want a better Nigeria? I'm sure we all do.

But a great head with sick body will definitely birth a sick life.

Nigerians remain the problem of Nigeria.

Let's rise up and become what we want to see in our nation. I still believe it's possible.

And by the way, if you have a patient admitted into a hospital, know that their safety is your responsibility. We have so many demons carrying stethoscope these days. Don't let them happen to you.

LordIsaac:
You are 100% correct. That's why when the man got there and saw the enormity of the problems, and that no amount of promises he had made can change things, he exclaimed: "CHANGE begins with you!" He did nothing more afterwards.

SmartPolician:
My dear, go and do the same at Aso Rock and see if you will be allowed to enter. Why? That's because security personnel who work there have a sense of responsibility and know they will be punished if they fail to do the needful.

Yes, you and I have a role to play, but leaderhsip is everything. Quote me anywhere.
If the followers see that nobody cares, they won't care. If the followers know that their actions have consequences, everyone will sit up.

I have repeatedly told people that leaderhsip transcends building infrastructural projects. Anybody can borrow money to build projects, including my late grandma who built houses without borrowing. However, where leadership works, there must be a sense of law and order. Just like they describe laissez-faire leadership style, people are allowed to take charge but must account for their actions.

This is one of the reasons why I am voting for Peter Obi; we need everyone to obey law and order in this country, no people reminding you that they are highly connected because they were asked to obey simple instructions. For God's sake, this is the 21st Century and we cannot continue behaving like we live in a Plantain Plantation.

Nigerians are the REAL problem Nigeria has. We always turn a blind eye to the main problem we caused ourselves and play dumb by still asking ourselves that STUPID
dumb question of HOW DID WE MANAGE TO GET WHERE WE ARE AS A COUNTRY.

The election is around the corner. We have some still very STRONG younger presidential candidate. Some people are pushing the very weak old presidential candidate to us when we all know that ASO ROCK IS NOT A RETIREMENT HOME.

Vote Wisely Nigerians. Use your head this time and think rightly.

The two weak old men in this 2013 presidential race needs to go have some rest at home. Nigeria needs to employ a Strong, Energetic, Capable leader that knows he's there to work for the next 4 years.

Vote Wisely Guys, the whole world is watching us. Africa does not need another Paul Biya or Mugabe.

Most of you that always say a good leader or President cant change Nigeria are not well informed, and don't understand what leadership is.


A good leader determined to change the statusquo will turn things around.


It takes just a strict President to enforce some laws, strengthen the judiciary, the security and ensure people in positions of leadership of government agencies are held accountable without protecting anybody that errs.


So long as the President is not corrupt, not compromising, not taking bribe, his family aren't taking either, the job is half done because those under him will try to emulate him.



Use some heads of government bodies to show brutal examples, jail some without much court cases, establish special courts to prosecute government officials and make it clear that if you, your wife or kids are found guilty should face the consequences and uphold it and watch every Nigerian readjust.



Make an unannounced sudden visits to some key governments agencies and parastatals like customs Apapa, FAAN, EFCC, etc and sack some of the so called Ogas you find wanting instantly with detention.



Do this consistently for 2 years and watch things turn around in Nigeria for good and discipline will be instilled down to Nigerians in remote villages.


All the corruption destroying Nigeria started from civil service, government agencies, security (Police, Army, Customs, EFCC, etc). Use some corrupt heads in these government bodies as scapegoats and watch others behave well.



If any court pass any useless judgment that its glaring to all that is fraud like the one given to Senate President Lawan, damn the consequences and use executive power and arrest the judges and lock them up, the people will support you even though the elites will scream blue murder.



But make sure you are not doing it only to people from other tribes or religion, do it to both your tribesmen, religion and others the same way, and watch Nigeria turnaround
