Success is nothing but the product of the right things been done at the right time. it is as easy as that . When the right things are done at the wrong time, failure and frustration are the resultant product. Also when the wrong things are done at the right time failure and frustration still are the resultant products.
Nigeria for a very long time have been doing been doing both, ie, doing the wrong things at the right time and the right things at the wrong time.
To bring the scope of this article closer, I want to bring home some truths. Nigeria is nothing without me and you, without you and me there would be no Nigeria, so to be more elaborate I will always use "WE" in Place of Nigeria in this article.
Nigerians(We) have have good dreams, aspirations and goals. We have thoughts which are positive enough to change this country but if I may ask, What positive action have you taken to to back up your positive thoughts, dreams, goals and aspirations and bring them to reality?.
It is one good thing to have a good dream and yet another greater thing to wake up and actualize your dreams. That's why I started by saying that the right things need to be done at the right time for success to be achieved.
Nigeria no doubt have positive thinkers, great dreamers and visionary individuals but it does not just stop at that, The greatest of then all is ACTION. Lets start backing up our visions, goals and aspirations with POSITIVE ACTIONS.
Remember, anybody can have dreams even a mad man but it only takes an exceptional one to have a dream and act positively towards bringing that dream to reality.
We(Nigerians) have for long have been having this sweet dreams of a good, better and crime free Nigeria but the truth of the whole matter is that we should stop wasting our precious and golden time having big dreams at this wrong time when our dear country Nigeria is in dire need of ACTIVE POSITIVE ACHIEVERS. No country achieved success having dreams and doing nothing about it.
let's all(Nigerians) wake up from our sweet dreams state to the reality of positive actions......
Right Now, ACT POSITIVELY............... that's what our dear country Nigeria need right now...

IT BEGINS WITH YOU
Nigeria’s image in Africa and the world at large has been in a mess lately ranging form corruption to all evil vices been know to man. The name alone sends shivers down the spin of anyone who hears it; the country has always been in the News more for the bad than the good deeds.
Nigeria is the largest black race in the world, the pride and giant of Africa. The name Nigeria should have been one that commands dignity and respect but today, the reverse is the case. Some Nigerians and the world in general do not want to be associated with the name as they see us as corrupt.
It can be said that the hope of Africa and the black race in general is built on Nigeria. Then tell me, when this hope is deferred, what does the future hold for Nigeria, Africa and the black race in general.
Nobody except a perverse mind would like the way things are going down in this country. It then behoves us as Nigerians to seek for ways to remedy the situation at hand.
Yes, we can’t deny the presence of corruption, fraud, failed polity, abuse for the rule of law, just name them but if the truth be told, I have contributed to the bad state of Nigeria, you also have done the same.
We must know the truth and in knowing lies our freedom. Since I have known myself and you have also know yourself to have contributed to the problems of Nigeria , I should retrace my steps and do good, you should retrace your steps and do good because the goodness we seek, the better Nigeria we seek, the better Africa we seek begins with us individually. IT BEGINS WITH YOU, IT BEGINS WITH ME.
All we need is a change in our mindset, self esteem, total re orientation and a change in the way we do things.
Lets awake from our slumber, the much needed CHANGE; IT BEGINS WITH YOU

NIGERIA ,THE WAY FORWARD.......
Nigeria,The way forward.....
Nigeria, the giant of Africa is now in a state of comatose wherein if something is not hastily done, we would wake up one morning only to mourn the death of our country and then the labours of our heroes past would then be in vain. GOD FORBID..............
Nigeria and Nigerians are like the content and the container.
The pride, worth and greatness of any container lies in the content it carries, that same way, the pride, worth and greatness of Nigeria lies within individual Nigerians.
That Nigeria is in a state of disarray, corruption e.t.c stems down to the sole truth that Nigerians made it so. Nigeria cannot make itself as it is a lifeless body with Nigerians being its life blood and when the lifeblood is bad then the body becomes sick and bad.
The crime and corruption Nigeria is being known for is caused by Nigerians.The littering of the streets with refuse, the damaging of public infrastructures, the vandalization of public property, the stealing of ballot boxes and the rigging of elections, the taking and giving of bribes e.t.c are all been done by Nigerians.
The leaders have their own fair share of the blame and the followers have theirs also, we all have to wake up to the truth that the leaders are not the only people to be blamed because we are all Nigerians and our actions directly or indirectly have contributed to the present state of Nigeria. We say that the top politicians rig elections and steal ballot boxes but in the real sense they use me and you the followers to carry out the wicked and evil scheme. We complain of our leaders stealing the countries money but the little they have done, how have me and you protected it.
There is one thing, to accept that one has a problem and only them can he/she look for solution, Nigerians and not Nigeria are sick and the earlier we accept our past mistakes and live up to our different responsibilities bearing in mind that a tree cannot make a forest. The leaders only cannot make up Nigeria, they make up some fraction and the followers make up the other fraction so, when each fraction and individual contribute their own quota of greatness, only then can we see the much awaited change take place.
Let's all stop the blaming game and take the bull by the horn, face the reality on ground which is that Nigerians have gone down the Corruption Drain and only then can we see the reason for each and everyone of us to make a U- TURN and Change for the better only then can we see a better Nigeria..
LET EACH AND EVERYONE OF US CONTRIBUTE OUR OWN QUOTA, STOP BLAMING EACH OTHER ONLY THEN CAN WE BUILD A GREAT NIGERIA........
Thanks
