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.

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...

Wannabee Prime Minister that is Denigrating her Native Country... for What?

Omo ale lo maa hun fi owo osi j'uwe ile baba eh - it is a BASTARD child that uses the left hand to describe her father's house.... We should speak honestly about our country, but when you hold a position like Kemi does decorum is essential. She could say the same thing in a way that will not impact the lives of ordinary Nigerians who live and make a honest living across the globe. She is an opposition leader for crying out loud... She is dragging her native country deep into the mud to gain cheap popularity.... She will need the votes of Nigerians if she will ever be Prime Minister one day. Every letter of her words will come back to hunt her... I trust Nigerians in the UK will not only mobilize against her, but they will also mobilize other Africans and Carribeans to shun her...
