Change...
From bus conductors to market women, from wide eyed youths to tired Nigerians. Change is one word they have in common.
Over time, Change or the promise of it has become the next abused word after “I love you”, "trust me" and “I promise”.
While I believe it is bad practice for those in the service industry to insist potential clients come with change, a lesson to be learned is that we should stop waiting for change to be fed to us by not-so-well-meaning aspiring administrators and be the change we want to see. 
If change were something we want bad enough, we as individuals and people should find a way to make it happen. 
Then again maybe these are just words.

In a country like Nigeria, rich in natural and human resources, is it possible really to achieve change? 
Heck we have so much water that we have decided to play gods and build estates on the ocean without giving much thought to the potential impacts on the environment or ecosystem.
Then again, it is possible that building permits were gotten from pastors/priests/prophets who these days serve as all-knowing oracles and have outlawed man's use of common-sense. 

Who has heard of a developing country like ours being resilient? 
Harnessing solar, wind or hydropower to make electricity a basic entitlement for all and not a privilege for only those that can afford it? 
Or even considered transforming wood or agricultural waste to biogas while creating job opportunities for those at the grassroots? 
Here the sun is only good for drying clothes, weave-ons and melon while agriculture has become synonymous with Fulani herdsmen, bankruptcy and kidnapping.
Correct me... if I am wrong.

Compared to what we have witnessed, what does this change really entail?
Does it include promoting religious fanaticism, tribalism, nepotism and the trend of getting ahead by skin bleaching?
How about churches promising heaven on earth, the death of our enemies and wealth without hard work?   
What happens to citizens from families so blended, it is almost impossible to tell which part of the country they really come from? 
Would they prove to be assets or be seen as threats to the government of the idealistic newly divided nation?

The new Nigerian dream is to go a western country and become successful at some job; whatever job is available be it road sweeping, morgue attendant or nuclear physicist. 
The question now is, if everyone leaves to become a foreigner, who will be left to build the nation? 

Change for me will be good well maintained roads, affordable and reliable power supply and promoting the country's agriculture sector.
With these for a start, I can look forward to more job opportunities, less political unrest and improved livelihoods for all.

The final question...
