Hi,
I really believe we don't understand that times are changing; there is a global crisis. But Nigerians have not understood the urgency around us. If you listened to Obama's inaugural speech, two things stood out:

1. America is employing new methods to tackle the problems they face;
2. America will weaken their dependence on oil.

These two commitments by Obama pokes fingers in our eyes, but we still feel it's business as usual. God help us, by the time the western world is through with recession, ours would have just started.

Let's put on the creative hat and get unconventional. HCF (Hardwork, Creativity and Faith).

Drop a thread of things you need to change in your life. I just cut two hours off my sleep.

Wow! They really wouldn't want to change. That was the same attitude that got America into this mess, now they know better; complacency when the warning signals show.
It's a pity the crisis won't elude us. Attitude is everything.

sforte,
Just out of curiosity, how is 2 hours less sleep related to the global crisis?
Empirically, staying awake longer means that you'll ultimately utilize more energy, cos you'll either read or watch TV or surf the web. Abi?

For us in Nigeria, the economic downturn is the least of our problems. In fact, we should be using the hoo haa as an opportunity to engage ourselves and our environment constructively. Which is what I'm going to do differently.
