Urhobo wado,thank you my brethren. Okpara waterside or inland?Delta no dey carry last.

Inland!

Gaskia:
This is a very sensible post.
I commend you OP and add that you are 100% correct in your submissions.

However, I wish to say that the last elections left Nigeria more divided than anytime after the civil war and scars of wars don't fade easily.

The APC employed a lot of resources on propaganda than it has ever been done in Nigeria's history. I stay in the South and the perception is still rife that Boko haram was a political creation to oust GEJ, and that they will not be in a haste to stop it so that the perception would not be confirmed.
Could you remember citizens calling for GEJ to go when terrorists strike? Some even said attack on BH is attack on the North? Some failed to condemn the culprits.
That is not an example to follow and retaliation is counter productive but the fact is that GMB and APC made comments and took actions that deepened the divide and like you said, we deep what we sow. We cannot easily forget the occupy Nigeria protest which I partook in Lagos state. So why should we clap for them now. Do you remember that we missed an opportunity to attempt fixing our unity issue because ONLY APC and some northern elements mocked the National Confab just becuse it was convened by GEJ their enemy? The unconsciously retained a state of anger for themselves. OBJ, Amaechi, Atiku, Tinubu, Kwankwanso, Rochas and others fingered in Halliburton scam, National Id card fraud, PHC monorail scam, Mambilla power project scam, oil bloc self allocation and others could not have wanted a power change because GEJ was currupt. They need to do more to heal the wounds they contributed else the cycle , though wrong, may continue.

I cannot help but disagree with you,sorry to hear you were naïve and tricked into taking part in the so called protest occupy Nigeria a few years ago I'm sure you can't be cajoled. 4years after, a few of us who have been opportuned to live in the west have known for a long time that deregulation in the oil sector is the norm in the 21st century. Boko haram has nothing to do with the oppositon it was created by pdp members of the north who supported gej see the amount of money sharing that occured in the north. The last nsa to jonathan before sambo the late general azazi said it point blank boko haram is a creation of the pdp and 4 months later he was killed in a helicopter crash with Governor Yakowa. As for the so called national confab you cannot select people you have bribed over people that were elected only the senate can delibrate and give us another constitution,national conferences are only recognized when there are no elected representative for the people it was all a ploy to trick the blind,why did he not organize it in 2012 to give himself enough time to force and make sure david mark and co accept their resolutions if he really meant well the man was a puppet robot . Jonathan a very weak and morally corrupt personality, Stealing of public funds is not corruption. Oga I hail.

ICEFLAME419ja:
Who this post EPP?

Alot of people have evaluated things by reading this post. I suggest you do the same.

Be the change you want to see in the world

I don't know what you're saying. I just need a visa.

Running away wont change who you are. The problem with Nigeria is not Nigeria but Nigerians! This is why Nigerians go to other countries and cause havoc, disobey rules, evade immigration, overstay their visas, commit crimes and eventually get deported after soiling the name of the country! Buhari, Jonathan, APC, PDP, etc, don't do that! WE ARE THE ONES WHO DO THAT!

First of all, change your self! Then you can change the nation and even if you go outside the country, the collective baggage of Nigerian ills wont weigh you down.

ononujuchika:
the reason you think that corruption in this administration is lower is because the compromised media lis shying away from corruuption in this government.

how are they compromised. what does compromise mean to you.so media was not compromised during pdp

When I first heard the word PSYCHOLOGY. I spelt "SYCHOLOGY". I didn't know there was a 'silent' letter "P". When President Buhari and APC promised ₦45 as pms pump price. I also didn't know there was a 'silent' one hundred naira before it! I guess I've learnt my lessons!!

Beehshorp:
Abegi!! Make I breathe.....
If we change our mindset will it change the promises dose APC maggots gave us?
Will our mindset give us food,fuel and lyt?
How will I help my neighbour if I don't av?
How will I not hoard fuel when a country like naija sells fuel for 175 per litre

if you enter farm, you think say dollar go affect you. think am?

Ijaya123:
And the change also also gave out $2.1billion meant for arms to tackle insurgency to be shared among a currupt few.

you for ask am how many almajiri graduate and who build the school (na Britain fa) if not dem for thief d moni. and how many cassava bread ,local rice, GSM fertiliser you or even him don see

Please stop all these 'change yourself talk. Am I a criminal? Have I ruined Nigeria in any way?

I have done lots of community service, I even served well during my NYSC, and even got a certificate of outstanding service.

If I get a green card, I have nothing to do, whatsoever, with Nigeria.

Nigeria is no longer my problem. Giving up on a failed nation is not a crime, stop the attempt to make me feel guilty.

The way Nigeria has failed. We shouldn't even be paying tax. The government owes us.

By the way, does leaving Nigeria = Breaking rules? Because I don't get your point.

Change is a thing of the mind. Until Nigerians have a change of mind to the next neighbour positively then we will know there is a change. But when the whole system and the individual within and outside is constantly working against the norms of nature, then we don't talk about change but about pains. Ask an average Nigerian if he truly ready for change, but am afraid many a Nigerian wants to prey upon another Nigerian. Refusals to change will naturally come with it attendant pains which are the various mishaps we are facing as a nation. Do we vote the right people into the government without expecting something before voting them into power. The class that be have to a large extent orientate Nigerian against the natural process by which a nation is exterblished. This is the mind of a common Nigerian, with the clarion call to Nigerians that it's not too late to allow change in our daily system of life. The President is trying, but we should question ourselves if we are ready to let go the individual corrupt system let alone national corrupt system.

Bitterleafsoup:
[s][/s]Change was here but you voted him out!
He got rid of ghost workers, he made us the giant of Africa, he brought schools to the Northern poor children and revolutionize agriculture but you said it was not enough.[s][/s]

...and allowed some people share our money meant for security, its may start with a letter 'C', but that to me is not Change, its was Cruelty. Whoever doesn't care about security of lives, cares about Nothing!

Nice one May bless U and ur entirely generation

We Say We Want Change Yet...
By Mathias Orhero
literarymathy@gmail.com
Dedicated to Sandra James (Jasysandra) whose birthday is this auspicious date and who, above all else, wants change for Nigeria
And to late Freeman David, an agent of positive change!

I do not know what to call this. Some may argue that I have written poetry below. To me, it is not poetry but an article written in verse form. I used parallelisms and repetitions to emphasise my message. I have tried to make it as simple as possible so that everyone can access the import of my message. This work is written against the background of recent happenings in Nigeria today. On May 29th 2015, the All Progressives Congress candidates were sworn in at different levels after winning the 2015 general elections in landslide victories. APC was able to boot out the incumbent PDP party across all levels due to the perceived dearth of society, corruption, insecurity and other endemic issues that plagued the Nigerian society. Nigerians were fed up! We knew there were problems but we did not know what to do about them. We made a choice between the devil and the blue sea and we chose our perceived blue sea.

President Buhari entered into power on the APC mantra of "CHANGE"! This mantra was accepted by every Nigerian who was fed up with the status quo. We did not know what to expect and or what we were doing. We only wanted Goodluck Jonathan to GO! This was the perception of the bulk of the masses. We turned the 2015 election into a tribal feud between the North/West and the South! In any case, APC's Buhari won the historic election which has been dubbed Nigeria's freest and fairest election so far.

Post-election reality was anticipated with much hope but to our chagrin, things were moving quite slow. Most of us were waiting for some sort of magic to happen. Magic that would instantaneously change Nigeria! We want corruption to be eliminated, we want corrupt officers to go on trial, we want good roads, we want electricity, and so much more. The government has been slow; too slow but the government cannot perform magic.

Buhari hit the ground running by fighting the Boko Haram menace that has taken a lot of lives and properties in the North East. He started to prosecute corrupt officers, although he was tagged as being biased! He started to revolutionise Nigerian mind but has all these been successful and appraised? Buhari is working like any president who has the good of the country at heart. Jonathan would have done better if not for the corruption in his government. However, this is not a political affair as our youths make it seem.

We all want change! We want things to change but the irony is that the government is not up to 5% as corrupt as ourselves; the ordinary people. The government is not up to 5% destructive as the people. The government can only do its best but NOTHING WILL HAPPEN unless we CHANGE our MINDSET. In lieu of this, I have scribbled the following verses. Let us look at these verses without cloaking our minds with APC/PDP politics because they will come and go and Nigeria remains ours. Even if Nigeria disintegrates today, these problems will not miraculously vanish. They will still be there. So let us examine these verses and understand their import. This is the first step!!!

The change starts with you.

Noise pollution is common to all religions. By the way, I am a Christian, not a muslim so I can't speak on mosques when I haven't stayed near one.

@OP your write up is coming at a time when Nigerian are in agony. I wish you can tell the president who brought about the change syndrome to keep to his word by fulfilling all his campaign promises.
How do you rate a man who doesn't keep to his word? I leave that to you. Since the govt came on board, it has been taxing the citizen here and there ranging from post tax - Fuel tax. You cannot say your a changed person when you make friends with the evil ones(Tinubu, Amaechi, Fashola).
The govt should all cut on their own expenditure like travelling unnecessarily, buying brand new cars that are irrelevant a fixing their own children in CBN jobs that are made for the intelligent populace.
I will prefer you take your writeup to Buhari before you talk to anyone about this. Thanks

Good young man . Your write up is rationally objective. You have captured many vices bedevilling our country. Unfortunately, many of us will not look at where we have lapses and correct them but we are always quick to blame or criticize others destructively , attaching political coloration to every good or unbiased opinions. Kudos to you, as a patroitic you did what you think is good to your fellow citizens at this time of hardship, rather than engaging on frivolous political sentiments. They shd understand that so many wrongdoings cannot make right. Shalom

Change was here but you voted him out!
He got rid of ghost workers, he made us the giant of Africa, he brought schools to the Northern poor children and revolutionize agriculture but you said it was not enough.

Twit!

'The government can not perform magic' yea! accepted 1yr don waka already In 10months of their leadership, Nigerians cry out in regret; you all voted them in with your thumbs all because we believed their lies and now they are satisfying their selfish ambitions. It has been a yr now and it’s gotten worse than ever; the president promised #5000 stipends to all unemployed youths which he later admitted he was not the one who made such promise but it was the party.
A man who denies his own words can only bring disaster to us. A month after he became president, electricity became better but then 9months down the line it became worse. The electricity we enjoyed then was the last effort of the former President, it became time for the new President to work and he couldn’t, is this the change you want”
“NOOO!!, even before the election they had promised you all change that will restore the country better than before but those were empty promises as usual, instead they gave us change in negative form.“The money is for me and Nigerians but some group of persons who call themselves government have gathered to satisfy their selfish desires with the wealth of the nation; they lied to us, to telling us the country was broke but on the contrary.since indepence d country is stil in darkness.the truth is dat change of mindset can only start from d top.

You are still politicizing this! I'm not an advocate for APC or Buhari so I can't respond to your statements. My argument is simple: let us start by changing the way we think, live and speak.

...and allowed some people share our money meant for security, its may start with a letter 'C', but that to me is not Change, its was Cruelty. Whoever doesn't care about security of lives, cares about Nothing!

the reason you think that corruption in this administration is lower is because the compromised media lis shying away from corruuption in this government.

Nigeria sef. People still want to blame themselves for the countrys woes. Its well. The fish, i know, rots from the head. I am a good nigerian, and i put in my best in my profession, yet our dear president will go abroad and classify me as corrupt.
Even is the citizenry turn a new leave, the corrupton from the top wont allow them space to breathe.
I hope the current fight against this monster will prosper.
