At least, #Optimism is better than #sufferhead

@APCNigeria packaged PMB well, presented him to us as SAVIOR, he looked good, we fell for it, now we have fallen into the trick, hard to come out. @OfficialPDPNig is now packaging Atiku as the MESSIAH, most of us are already falling for it. Something is wrong with us, walahi.

With all due respect @atiku Nigerians are preparing to vote you not because they believe any of your promises or see you as messiah. They just want @MBuhari out that's all.

Can Atiku become our political messiah?

The government Nigeria wants

Nigerians wants someone who can fix the economy, fix the educational system, ensure stability across the regions. We don't need your love or your good intentions or your integrity. Governance is serious business, not a village affair.

Recipe for a better nation

We may associate pessimism with bad things, but at a political level, the world’s best societies are all experts at pessimism.

Remember?

Nigeria Vision 2020

We are a people with a vision.  Or two.  :)
Remember this one?  "The NV20:2020 economic transformation blueprint is a long term plan for stimulating Nigeria’s economic growth and launching the country onto a path of sustained and rapid socio-economic development. The blueprint articulates Nigeria’s economic growth and development strategies, for the eleven -year period between 2009 and 2020, and will be implemented using a series of medium term national development plans."

The Federal Ministry of Budget and National Planning houses the above National Plan along with some tracking and scoring mechanisms.
Why then does it sometimes feel as though Nigeria is without a roadmap?

Want more on the SDGs?
More on the school feeding programme?

Yes, Prime Minister

 Former Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Raji Fashola, is named Nigeria's Minister for Power, Works and Housing.

I just want to say, this is hope.

I think his appointment means we'll solve electricity (with enabling laws, with incorporating solar and sustainable off-grid modules; with a real answer, and we'll do it fast. )

I believe it means that there will magically appear a road and/or rail network throughout Nigeria that enables one nation to travel for work or leisure, that there will be adopted a system of maintenance for the same, and that we will forever remember Fashola of Nigeria.

I hope it means a fair home, land, and building system that enables individuals and groups to build wealth and enterprise in a stable and safe society. 

I also want to say that, should the brotha need me, I would (even) move to Abuja to be part of this revolution.
Of course if he already has the people he needs, never mind.  I'll be here campaigning for the split workday / split workweek.
(General idea: How sweet would life be if instead of 9-5, there were two daily six-hour shifts or two weekly three-day shifts?  Everybody gains.  Time, lifestyle, half the traffic, more commerce, longer business hours, better families, greater leisure, flexible time, ...)

Donate to Wikileaks

WikiLeaks is an international, online, non-profit organization.
Its release of US diplomatic cables in late 2010 gave Nigerians access to documentation of high-level intrigues and related gossip in our government.  See Sahara Reporters, The Guardian, and all the latest on Wikileaks + Nigeria

The leaking continues and you can help by making a small donation.
