[b]Ofcourse i know in me that more than 50% of Nigerians have not made up their minds to change the nation. Many have lost hope in the nation. More than 5million Nigerians are in America, so many Others in over 120 countries in the world. With all these, Nigerians in Diaspora might be ranging over 10million. Yet we have over 160million in Nigeria. Amongst these people, over 60-80million have lost hope in the country. Some complaining its the North's problem with their born-to-rule mentality. Some say its Islam. Some say its 1914 amalgamation. When Nigeria was about to be divided in 1967, the same set of people fought to keep it one. Some brought up the fact that how can 250 ethnic groups be coined into one country, neglecting the fact that China, India, America and some other nations have almost or more than 250 ethnic groups and yet there are at the top of the world today. Some also put it as corruption. Who is corrupt and what have you done to stop them? Remember that the leaders we call corrupt were put in there by our votes and they can also be brought down by us. We just complain daily and at the end remain silent. The best we can do is fight, lock up, charge our fellow civilians to court while leaving the corrupt leaders to walk freely. We say its the justice system and yet thousands of lawyers graduate, join them but fail to change them. Are the Entire Nigerians Corrupt? What is so much to loose for our children to grow up in a viable, good and corrupt-free/corrupt-less environment? Are we even ready to take up that task and actualize our vision of 2020? Are we ready at all? What should be done should start from now against 2015 cos if you fail to plan, you have planned to fail. We are to decide whether to put our diversity in use and merge a greater force against all odds or to break up and become independent regions. This decision is the first step to be decided by you and I today before we know Step 2. What are your suggestions?[/b]

Politics is only as good as the people who make it their calling and those who put them into office either by voting or refusing to vote.The maintenance of good government is dependent on good people
GOD BLESS NIGERIA

Election to political offices should be based on merit and what the candidate is capable of doing that way we can be sure the office holders will have the interest of the masses.

Nigeria can't be changed! Deal and live with it!

If you wish to try, I
Good luck! That is if they didn't kill you before your next birthday! ...

On another note, do not give up, when Nigeria is better, we all will celebrate.

My dear, the level of corruption is unbelievable.

Most ppl want to play a fast one on you and the funny part is they see it as being smart.

Nice ppl are very difficult to come by these days. Am sorry most nice Nigerians are the ones that spend most of their time outside Nigeria.

Everything is crazy in Nigeria I tell you.

A lot to say but little time,I might be back for more. until then,

No!
Nothing can!

@OP National Sovereign Conference is a good start to redeeming our nation we need to sit down and talk

Slizbeat:

So what do suggest be done?

Put sentiment behind us, vote for people based on pedigree(not religion or etnicity)
Because no matter how much we individual try to be patriotic and good citizens, bad leadership will always frustrate our effort, it takes just few people in political offoce with the goodwill of Nigeria in their heart to change it.

Also we need to revisit the 1914 almagamatio, visit our founding documents and adhere strictly to it, that'w where the National Sovereign Conference comes into play.

With all this change is inevitable.

Hi K2039, i like your second quote so much, however, i believe lasting changes would be engineered by the people and not the leaders.

..Fashola specifically explained that the current challenges confronting the country “lies more with the people of Nigeria themselves and the value choices that they make as a people in their day-to-day living.”...

http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/fashola-we-can-succeed-with-the-worst-constitution/134639/

let us leave the beer parlour critics, every Nigerian has a role to play in the small office she holds, either in the government ministry, or in the market or on the roads.

[color=soyouquotedme]I agree with your point in totality.

Each indivduas have to make the right choices, I agree, in fact it begins with each family, give birth to the number of children you can cater for, be accountable in small things etc.

But no matter how much you try to be a good citizen, a bad goverment will frustrate your effort.

There are basic ammenities that only the goverment can provide, good roads, education, medical care etc.

So everything is interwoven, goverment and it citizens.

I understand your point in totality, if all individuals take full responsibilty for their actions that will reduce the bulk of problem on the FG.

Goverment policies and decision has a higher impact on it citizenry be it good or bad.

But as citizens we have more influence on our immediate environment(circle of influence) and I agree we should focus on that.
