[b]All these kids on Nairaland who claim to be the future leaders yet they cannot understand that for any change to be sustainable or even relevant then it must begin with you and me same way we had war against indiscipline those days. Buhari does not work in all the ministries or local governments ...its people like you and i who do and until we make an effort to eradicate personal vices in us from where we live to where we do business to where we work then we would only be going round in circles and will never experience any form of change no matter what the government offers us.

If Parents of today still encourage their kids to engage in prostitution as to them all money na money (according to my edo or warri brethren) or those who encourage their kids to move drugs or engage in 419 (according to my owerri and other eastern brethren) or those whose children openly engage in oil bunkering and vandalism (my niger delta peeps) or engage in ritualism and cultism (my south westerners) how then can change be truly change?

This is a credible and praiseworthy move by PMB as we all must work together in order to achieve the Nigerian dream and paradise we seek. True change is never easy and never comfortable to those who have been used to moving in an opposite direction but its high time we began to preach INTEGRITY! LOYALTY! HONESTY! and not see actions like people returning lost but found money or reporting criminals or correcting a wrong doer as stupidity...which is what we have today....This is why abroad even your neighbour can call the cops on you if they suspect fowl play from you as we all need to be accountable to one another first and this echoes the very quote of JOHN F KENNEDY, "ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY!"

I STAND WITH PMB!![/b]
Oga abeg, I need loan from you. Since you stand with PMB, you will definitely have access to his pockets. I need loan of 750k at 0% interest from you (e no too small for people of your calibre). I want to use it to start a business. At least you said I should think of what I can do for my country. You giving me the loan to start the business is what I can do for my country...abeg no waste time...

BloodOnMyHands:
Your Buhari is uniquely dull!!!

What has that change got to do with our economic recession? As we converse this minute, Nigeria's economy is on life support machine and you're telling me about obeying traffic light? Or treating my neighbour fine?

You and Buhari have monomania; that's over fixation on trivial.

No wonder he was chasing a few individuals who stole public funds with all the nations resources while the economy got worse and Nigeria bleeds.

Buhari is mentally and physically debilitated to rule this country--- any country.
[b]Young man only a morally bankrupt fellow would refute what i just posted which you responded to. You all praise America and other western nations and hustle hard to go there but do you even know their history? From the gang filled days to the nigga years to the years of apartheid to the emergence of Abraham Lincoln who in attempt to make a drastic change got killed ...same with martin luther king and same with John F kennedy. Their deaths drove their ideals and beliefs into the hearts of a lot of americans and laws where changed and attitudes were changed and today they have a nation that people are encouraged to build homes that do not wall themselves off from their neighbour.

Buharis gesture is sound and focused and is the right step in the right direction. A lot of the level of rot we have found ourselves in as a nation and all the negative press we receive outside Nigeria has mostly been caused by people like you and i. Why do you think that for some reason if a corrupt Nigerian stays in the united states for a few years he somehow learns how to behave and think right? Their system has been tailored towards a mental correction and if you refuse then you do the time.

We need to start somewhere as a nation and sustain it. I would not want to assume that you are morally bankrupt hence your kicking against this gesture from PMB. If you have the opportunity of running the affairs of Nigeria and do it better than PMB is currently doing then you can judge him but as for me i am totally satisfied with all he has been doing so far and i am even as easterner.

I STAND WITH PMB[/b]

Are you saying there isn't the need for Nigerians to change also. Buhari is serving the change he promised but for it to well felt we must change attitude and mindset. You are an example.
I didn't expect less of you.

Continue fooling yourself.
Re: Change First Before Asking For The Change We Promised - Buhari Tells Nigerians by Nobody: 5:12pm On Sep 08, 2016
Wao, what a powerful message, This is the best president so far in the history of Nigeria. Change has to begin with individual.

May God bless you and protect you for us. Today has finally crash for the descendants of Israel, expecting about 3,000 barrels of insult from the IPOB because of this powerful message from the best president ever in the history of this country.
Re: Change First Before Asking For The Change We Promised - Buhari Tells Nigerians by senatorbayor(m): 5:13pm On Sep 08, 2016
it actually begins with them cos it's leadership by example



This is another scam from the APC led govt.

If the presidency still keeps all the presidential jets but tell you and I to be prudent! That's what?


If the Presidency and the cabinets break trafic rules citing VIP and want you and I to be discipline by obeying traffic rules.

If those in Govt live a large life and embrace foreign products! Patronised foreign goods and go for medicals abroad with the tax payers money but want you and I to patronised local products! Then what do you call that !


If same people who preach change of attitude are harbingers of corruption and wine and dine with corrupt elements! Then the change must begin with them.

If the crooner of change still use public funds to finance their elections, lie to electorates on what they cant do by promising to do it just to get our votes and getting involve in malpractices and manipulation of process to get their selfish interest, then they need the change to begin from them.

If the same people denied their own campaign promises and keep lying just becos of their inefficiencies, then the change must begin with them.

If same people can't be trusted Cos of their acts as leaders , then they need serious change of attitude.

change must begin with them cos they promised change and we did not promised them change

Nigerians have done their part, they must fulfil their own part.

Other developed countries are where they are today because they are oblivious of the fact that it takes collective efforts of government and citizens to make a country work well
see this one. in your little mind you are enlightened? its people like you that renders the word 'accountability' useless. I wished you'd sit down to ponder on the effects of this. Can you describe what change he wants? how long would we have been deemed change before we begin to see democracy in action? these politicians preaching change to us have they made changes in their mannerisms? no one is talking about the chibok girls again..They do not matter. True federalism that might fix us, buhari is considering it. You might be able to afford 3 square meals, but not everybody can. you're clueless. gerrarahia!

The change begin with the senators, rep and all arms of government.
The change begin as soon as those senators are placed on minimum wage.
Those wuru wuru allowance must stop.
Nigeria problem is from top to bottom.

It really makes me sad how Nigerian youth with no benefit or whatsoever always come and chant APC , PDP why cant we just unit and fight for our future .

Ask any of the leader her plan for a common man, he will say What's his business. In the past we saw a governor that told someone go and die, that alone is an hate word that cause for resignation. But all the youth could do is to start making a chant and making it looks like a joke.

Each and everyone of us has been taken for granted.

It's not affecting me in anyway but most time I think about my family in there.

Your attitude and approach is proof that you so need an inward and ideological change. Caliber has nothing to do with Morality or a desire to refrain from doing wrong because statistically those who have tend to desire to have more while those who do not have tend to desire contentment.

The message is a simple one and not too tasking...Change yourself for yourself positively!

dats d problem. He didn't fool himself, he fooled Nigerians because Nigerians are so unimaginably brainless and unspeakably stupid. How can one man just waltz in from nowhere Nd tell u dat he will make $1 equal to #1, na im papa get d dollar? Even d U.S dat owns d dollar can't make dat possible Nd yet Nigerians believed it because he get PhD for economics abi? Nigerians deserve every bit of what comes their way from dis their 'economics expert' because dey put him der! Foolish set of 200 million people!
This post make sense die. We are indeed a set of 200 million foolish people. Imagine, Buhari does not even mind any Nigerian as human beings with brains. He now talk the way he likes forgetting that that there is another day after today. If he escapes 2019 from Nigerians, he will never escape God's wrath because of this his interntional punishment he is bringing upon the innocent Nigerians. Even if you are a Fulani, an Islam or a mere northerner, please vote out apc in Edo state on Saturday. Please let us try and remove anything that has do with the sound of apc from the surface of Nigeria. May God give us the willing mind and understand, wisdom not to fall for Buhari lies .Amen

Very true! Youths of today no longer think! For them its flashy cars and low morals at whatever cost even if it means they need to sell their very soul to get it. Imagine them willing to enrich people like Davido and whizkid and other unrewarding musicians with all their vain living and rubbish lives by rushing to their shows and buying up their cds all for the flashy life attraction but we refuse to think right and walk right.

Mark Zukerberg was in Nigeria the other day and he was never known to be a crazy profane and negative in living kind of person and today he is bigger and richer than all the music artists africa has to offer put together and instead of people looking inward and developing themselves positively we expect handouts all the time from Government and even expect the government to put us in line when we are supposed to know what is right and what is wrong by ourselves.

[b]Young man only a morally bankrupt fellow would refute what i just posted which you responded to.
Only a sycophantic, unpatriotic and political goon will seek to justify Buhari's senseless statement like you just did. When he gave those electorial promises did he place any prerequisite on it? After nearly a year of failure, he's throwing political obfuscation to cover his failures!!!

naijadeyhia:
You all praise America and other western nations and hustle hard to go there but do you even know their history?
America was known as the wild wild west even in her early ages. She was prosperous then.

Today America has the highest violent deaths, rape, crime and murder rate in the world , I didn't see her president asking Americans to change before he can deliver electorial promises. She's still a very productive and prosperous country.You're dull.

So much uncorrelated rubbish you typed up there. Our leaders don't obey traffic laws, they drive with noisy sirens, use the police to oppress the citizenry, launder and steal money abroad and disobey all civic rule in Nigeria but behave like civilise people when they travel abroad.

How can Buhari be asking of personal change when Naira is free falling, when the economy has yielded 2℅ recession, when food stuffs and commodities have gone unprecedentedly high?

You're a government person masquerading here to do damage control.
Re: Change First Before Asking For The Change We Promised - Buhari Tells Nigerians by ObongBona(m): 5:33pm On Sep 08, 2016
During the presidential campaign, I warned some nitwits that the old bag of bones called Buhari, has just NOTHING to offer. They were busy chanting Sai Baba!!, as if they were just treated of brain turmoil.

Unfortunately, today a handful of those idiots are now regretting their stupidity while majority of them have started gnashing their teeth n denying ever voting for their Lord and Master.

Just because oil fell from 100$ pb to 40$ pb, the country must collapse, the world nation should starve and blame the previous leaders.

No tangible economic project after how many years in office, except WE SHALL..., WE ARE GOING TO ..., YOU MUST CHANGE BEFORE I DELIVER ...

If you are a changed fellow, why can't you extend the change to someone else's life??. that you eat a plate full three times a day without breaking a sweat doesn't mean everybody is same as you...good morals or bad, change or no change, rain falls on everybody and it comes from the top and not the bottom
