Change, it has always been what every Nigerian expects from those in authority. Not sure if they got the information right about the whole change thing, because they actually gave change, but definitely not the change Nigerians wanted and desperately needed for themselves.

They wait for four years and sometimes eight years only to be torn to shreds when another expected success happens to be an unexpected failure. The record of setbacks in Nigeria seems to supersede that of the success achieved. Change is needed in Nigeria, and it is needed urgently. Well another change has began, another hope, another success we wish wouldn’t turn out to be a failure. Another change, but this time they are specific in their request, they want good and positive change, one that grants a better life for Nigerians, change that gives opportunity to the young stars; you know the ones that are said to be the “future of tomorrow”. The ones that have planned their life out only to be delayed by extra years in the university, and the adults/parents that work hard so they would be able take care of their family but gain little or nothing for their hard work. The first class, second or even third class graduate that has no choice but to try a trade with the hopes of keeping body and soul together, due to the unavailability of jobs or perhaps because the jobs are given to those undeserving of it.
No one is sure how things would go for Nigerians as this new era begins, the possibility that things would actually get bad at first is visible, the possibility that the fuel price would go up is also there but there is also the possibility that there would be good change, one that might give Nigerians the chance to enjoy their mother land. But Nigerians also have a lot to do so as to achieve this change, it is not all about those in authority – last time I checked, the government is not only those in power, it is the people. The lowliest of Nigerians are also the government, so why not work to increase the value of Nigeria?
Change is expected again but everyone should brace themselves up for the best as well as the worst. As must as change is needed, one must also help in making the change effective, change cannot happen if the citizens are not ready for it. No matter what this new era does to effect change if everyone is not ready to put their selfish interests aside, it would take ages to effect the expected change.

When last did you follow the rule of keeping your environment clean?
When last did stand right when you heard the National Anthem?
When last did you obey the traffic rules?
When last did you not only think about yourself but about the effect of your actions on your fellow NIGERIAN?

Change begins with you!
