[b]The change we've all been waiting for has finally arrived and has been sworn-in as the 44th presidents of the United States of America.
The whole world stood in awe to watch the transition of power in a country that is believed to be the most powerful nation in the world,I can't but bursted to tears when he started giving his speech,seeing a man of intellingent ideas and charisma.
The question is, Will he deliver?
, Will he find the support and cooperation he's anticipating?
, Will the World benefit from this transition upon which so many hopes lay?
                                          Will this transition restore the peace in Dafur Region and Far east Asia?
                                            Will, ?
A million question can be asked but the answers to all is TIME!

Nigeria will become better the very minute the citizens beleive in the slogan "we can do it" and not when all they beleive in is that "we cant do it because this is Nigeria". It is so damn simple.

I_laugh,
if success are recorded, nations developed by "I CAN DO" slogan, then, this country will have transformed into paradise. Nations are built by sweat and blood and not by slogan. Nigeria harbour too much of dangerous men and women who strongly believe in miracle without work. That is why religions are the most profitable ventures in the Niger-area.

Look at people looking to a man with a slogan to change their lives. This is unbelievable considering we have had so many slogans in the past and yet we continue to find ourselves back to square one. What nation do you know of that was built on slogans and words? What Nation?

Every 4 years, Nigerians walk to the polls armed with one slogan or another, and end up voting the same goons in and what we want is more of this? We happen to be a nation of talkers and less of a nation of doers but we continue to insist that more sweet words will do the trick? More sweet words will fix electricity issues in that country? We sat back and swallowed the sweet words from Obasanjo while the man swallowed billions of our money and your prescription to all Nigeria is that we blindly continue to swallow more sweet words to build the nation? Sigh!

slogans wil only b matched wt action wia d leader is imbued wt passion and vision 2 move his pple/nation 4wd no marra ow lil.
in our own case, na jargons dem they tout. no vision. so no passion. and there wil neva b any action. all dt ds dealers see is ow to embezzle funds 2d detriment of d pple.

Zik, Sardauna, Awo did their bit in d regions back then (they had their flaws too, no doubt) bt if ds present dealers av continued frm wia those 3 n pple of their era stopped, i'm sure we wont b @ ds level

Let all Nigerians Think Nigeria. That is supposed to be the fuel to drive Nigeria to greatness. Unfortunately, Nigeria's growth has been stunted by the 2 societal vices of tRIBALISM and RELIGOUS ALLIGNMENT. These gave birth to other vices like favoritism, nepotism, mediocrity and finally corruption. For instance, Recruitment of any nature in Nigeria has become a show of strength among the so-called elites. Candidates must be SPONSORED by a religious godfather or a tribal godfather to get a job or even admission into schools . This corruption is so rife that candidates now do their homework by getting letters from godfathers before going for any admission or recruitment exercise to get assurance for success. Now tell me, how can someone sponsored to a position think Nigeria. The person will only think godfather, godfather and godfather. In fact, the situation in Nigeria now is to your religious or tribal tents oh Nigerians. Very very sad

i laugh is totally right in my own opinionb, he doesnt mean bandying the slogan around but actually believeing in it not just in word but in practise, and yes i can is a life changing phrase if applied to everything one does, as it inspires confidence and a go getting attitude
