Can we have a positive change

We are living in the era of change. The government of the day came into power with the promise of changing our lives. Almost one year in to their tenor, we haven't seen the reality of the change we were promised. In all sectors of the country folks are complaining about the harsh reality we are facing as a nation. If we will be sincere with ourselves we will agree that this is what we all expected. People can not perform beyond their ability. How ever I think that those in power are doing their best, which is still not enough. 
But can this country move forward?

The answer is a big yes. We can do better. 
If we will have the change we so need, we all need to embrace personal responsibility to move this nation forward. Some sect are clamoring for independence. I don't think that is the solution. No matter how you divide water that is contaminated, it is still contaminated. Nigeria has been contaminated with corruption. While growing up as child in the 1990s, a particular tribe that some section of the country want to pull out from were the most sincere people to trade with. Right now they have also been contaminated. 
Corruption is the real enemy of the Nigerian state. It is not only those holding public offices that are corrupt. Many can not be trusted, this something for nothing mentality is eating up the character and honour of many. People want to become rich but don't want to go through the process required. The principal who collects examination fee of one thousand must be a corrupt person. The man who avoids to pay his electric bill is corrupt. The project supervisor who expect his/her student to pay to be supervised must be corrupt. It is from the bucket you take a cup of water. Every criminal in the public sector was picked from among us. If we that are led will change those that are leading will change. If every one will clean his corner, the whole world will be clean. If you will change every thing will change for you. The change you are looking out to see is actually within you. The government can not solve all our problems. People are anxious to improve their circumstances without improving themselves; therefore they remain bound. 
Change is not what you wait for, it is what you make happen. 
As yourself, if every one in Nigeria were to be like you, how will this country be like. 

"The value of life lies not in the length of days but in the use we make of it, a man may live long and yet live very little",Michel de Montaigne

 In your corner, are you doing your best to make this country work? This country becoming paralyzed while many are making a career as analyst instead of becoming catalyst for change. 

One Nigeria!
