Good evening Mates! Change is surely the only constant thing in this terrestrial ball, but I have watched as this maxim plays trick with my darling country and her citizens... There are some things Nigerians do now out of pretence and the knack to belong to the train of globalization. Well, lemme dig straight into these stuffs.... Ride with me....

1. NIGERIANS MUST ADOPT THE USE OF TELEPHONE BOOTHS ALONG THE MAJOR ROADS AND STREET AGAIN.

Now those who were born in the 80's will understand this. Places like Lagos, Owerri, Kano, Calabar etc. all use to have telephone booths in strategic areas of their roads and this was really helpful then as people were able to access and disseminate information on the move. I know mobile phones caused this tragedy but look at developed countries and you will see that it is still very much useful.

2. NIGERIANS MUST GO BACK TO READING AND STOP DISTURBING UNCLE GOOGLE

Now this isn't the crime of students and researchers alone. Everyone that uses the internet is guilty of this crime in Nigeria. I mean, newspaper houses no longer sell again, novels are no longer seen in ladies room and diaries no longer being kept. Damn Uncle Google and the internet. Its a good thing that the Internet has brought information and knowledge to our doorstep but hey, some books and stuffs can't be seen on the internet. Read a book, not a PDF, a real paper back. And dear students, please stop the copying and pasting. Do some digging in the library and read books.

3. NIGERIANS MUST GO BACK TO IRO AND BUBA, DECENT DRESSING

Boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, I know this is the 21st century and I also know we are not yet in the Nudity century. I mean, Nigerians seriously need a reform in dress sense and aesthetic reorientation. Boys, stop sagging: it's preposterous. Girls stop exposing those boobs, it makes you look cheap and it victimizes you. We must start dressing like old times, Decent Iro and buba, and a well measured suit will be nice. Those sailors attire the grooms of these days wear all in the name of fitted suit is appalling and maybe that's why marriages crash easily LOL....

4. NIGERIANS MUST ABANDON INDOMIE/CANNED FOOD AND GO BACK TO KITCHEN FOOD

Now when I say kitchen food, I mean serious meal. Igbo people are connoisseurs on this, the Nsala must be revisited. All these Indomies, Shoprite Sea rice and sea biscuit won't make you grow and strong... And please those can food you eat all day is harmful, pound some yam mate....
And this leads me to the next one.

5. LADIES... CHASE EKAETTE OUT OF THE KITCHEN AND DO YOUR JOB

This is a big issue oooo.... Ladies (either married or single or even living in your parents house) must be a regular in the kitchen. You must learn how to cook good and Delicious meal, you must know how to pound yam and do the traditional menu. This is also applicable to guys but it is inevitable for ladies...

6. WE MUST GO BACK TO NITEL AS THE MAJOR NETWORK AGAIN

This is more of a personal crusade for me. To see NITEL or any Nigerian government owned telecommunications network become the main provider of services. I do not need to punish you with the complains and evils of MTN, AIRTEL, ETI and our very own ... Nigerians must go back to NITEL... #BringBackOurLine....

7. NIGERIANS MUST GO BACK TO VASELINE AND COCONUT OIL.... LEAVE UNCLE CARO

This is no longer funny Mates, I am serious. We are losing our brothers and Sisters daily to the bleaching society. I was lost sometime back but I had to check myself. Bleaching is rampant, between boys and girls now even. We must look back to our saviours: Vaseline and Coconut oil.... They made our skin glow back then, now all we want to do is be like Lady Gaga,I mean look at Sean Tizzle and lots of Nigerian celeb.... Thus gotta stop...

Errm... I heard these bleaching agents are even cancerous... Black is beautiful mates...

Now these are the few I can scribble down.... I know there are lots more but please you guys can add them. #Tayad

I want to stop Cc-ing Lalasticlala too

i'm sorry, but i cannot agree with number two.

paper books come from trees. if you ask people to read more of them, you will have to produce more of them by cutting down more trees. thus contributing even more to the deforestation that is ravaging our planet.


i otherwise agree a little with the others.

I still wear iro and buba. Inshort oleku

Just a reminder of some dignity and valuable things that was lost in the course of "civilization"

Intellectualism above conservationism... Any day...


And sir, there was a time when books was the only thing known to bring information, yet the environment was more safe... Books won't kill us.

And you still wear those tops that leave little for our imaginations right ??

PS: Iro and Buba was a Synedoche there...

What dignity? There has never been a time in history where Nigeria was great

intellectualism won't matter much if we're all fried by infrared.

I also like books. very much. and till today, i prefer paper to screens. but when i saw the statistics, it was shocking. hence i advice, if you prefer screen to books, don't change it. or better yet, use books from libraries.
