Coming from an elected leader, I agree it's a cop-out. However, the man is right to a certain degree.
I say that the day Nigerians begin to live in private and within their nuclear families the life of integrity and honesty that they would like to see in public life, is the day Nigeria will have it's turn-around.
This may be difficult to do, considering how deep into the core fabric of society corruption has been entrenched, but if we think it is worth having a decent society that our children will be proud of in future then we need to start making the sacrifice now.

Nigerians everywhere are praying for change, but if God was to answer our prayers today in a spectacular fashion, over 90% of Nigerians will not be around to enjoy the emerged "New Nigeria" because He will have to wipe out the unrepentants in the nation first so that those who truly crave change can effect it. Like the children of Isreal in the wilderness, many believe that we need God to intervene in the affairs of Nigeria but deep down we do not want him to - for we know that we are unwilling to pay the price required.

Change starts when your teenager knows that he/she cannot come home wearing something you have not bought for him/her without getting some serious grilling, when you steer clear of a friend or relative who magically comes into wealth, or when a local community demands to know the source of wealth of some "area father" who seem to have a bottomless pot of gold in his back garden ,  this is when we can begin to see change. The type of change that endures, the type that the next generation can build upon.

The example of Idiagbon is candid example that the type of miraculous channge Nigerians crave do not last. It also speaks volumes and possibly supports the saying that Nigerians deserve the leadership they have produced in the last 2-3 decades. Like Nineveh, I pray that our nation will truly repent before it is too late.

Generations unborn beg us to make the sacrifice. We continue to grief God's heart.
Let charity begin from our homes and then we will see real change.

Hello!

Does anyone out there have experience of building with wood decking anywhere in Nigeria?
