Nigerians Need a Mindset Revolution



Beyond the change of leadership; beyond another election; irrespective of the age of the leaders; change can only come to a people when majority operate with a single mindset that what we do with every opportunity that comes our way will affect us now and the posterity. We will be compelled, to at least, try to make all the right choices.

This common mindset will make us be pragmatic and objective when deciding on who to vote for. It will inform our daily decision in our businesses, in our public service, in our religious obligations, in our community service, in our public service.

We cannot expect a change in our country, while we wish in the deepest part of our heart that we are part of a government that is reckless in handling public resources and property. If you are seeking public office, what is your true motivation?

If ordinary people and citizens are not ready to jettison the old culture of feeding on the national cake at every opportunity, every leader that comes out of the populace will also join the bandwagon of robbers who are thieving our commonwealth. There is an urgent need for a mindset change.

Where do you stand today? How do you practice professional ethics at your place of work? Do you steal 1%, 5%, 10% of your company's resources while nobody is watching; do you use official vehicle for private business; do you get paid to teach children at school but you go about your own private business; do you cheat on your spouse, lie to your family, betray your friends? God is not going to come down from heaven to change Nigeria - no amount of prayer will change the result of a government being led by people with compromised mindset. That prayer should be directed at the mind of the people that needs redemption. We need a #revolution of our minds in Nigeria for a lasting change to come on us.

This is Cacophony at Best...

MAGA destroyed DEI but they want to implement DEI at Harvard... They claim the school is not diverse enough. They have too many liberals, so they need to hire more conservative, whether they meet the hiring requirement or survive the rigor of delivering excellence at Harvard or not. This is what they claim DEI is all about - hiring people based on race, they claim, but they have no issue telling Harvard to hire based on political ideology.... You read the same thing about BLM and Antisemitism. They say BLM reflects poorly on the history of America... Critical race theory is false history... slaves loved being in captivity, they loved their masters and served willingly... there is no more discrimination based on the color of your skin in America - but all the metrics point in the opposite direction... Jewish Lives Matter; Black Lives Matter, and Palestinian Lives Matter... All Lives Matter. A terrorist life should not be equal to 20 innocent Palestinian life... It is okay to forget abou...

When you discover the wisdom of the universe, it is as if...

When you locate the wisdom of the universe, it would be as if you have a magic wand... Your prosperity rolls over, you climb to the top faster and leave many behind... Funke Akindele's movie, "A tribe called Judah" remains the highest-grossing movie in Nollywood (Nigeria's movie industry). I saw the movie last week and could not make head or tail of it.. But something was unique about it. It was the first Nigerian movie that cast MANY actors from all the major ethnic groups in the nation.. These are top actors... For so long, Nollywood has been divided along ethnic lines... You have the Yorubas doing their thing, the Igbos doing their own and our brothers in the North, the Hausas doing their own. But this movie cast actors from everywhere, so, it became a must-see for almost all Nigerians ... Funke Akindele is a talented writer, actor, and producer. But she is also a shrewd businesswoman. She located the wisdom in tapping the talent of diverse ethnic groups in Nigeria...
