The fear of PMB in Nigeria

Corruption in Nigeria

Corruption is the biggest among the challenges in Nigeria. It is clear to every citizen of Nigeria that the level of corruption in the country is high. Corruption in the country is found in all the entire sectors of the country. Be it a small or big sector, there is every possibility of observing corrupt practices when critically examined.

What is corruption? What is corruption to you? Corruption is dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power typically involving bribery. Corruption is illegitimate use of power to benefit a private interest (Morris 1991). Corruption is the giving of bribe by a person to an official so that the truth will not be told.

Corruption in Nigerian Custom Service

Corruption in Nigerian Custom Service

Are the Nigerian customs really doing the work they are called to do correctly? The custom service of Nigeria is the organization that is authorized to clear goods that were imported into the country. This group is not free from the menace of corruption.

In most occasions, you must pay bribe to Nigeria customs before your goods are cleared to be taking to business places. Many containers that are being held captive by the customs is because the owners are not willing to pay the large amount of money being demanded by the customs.

TENACITY AND RESILIENCE: THE BUHARI EXAMPLE FOR THE NIGERIA CHILDREN

TENACITY AND RESILIENCE: THE BUHARI EXAMPLE FOR THE NIGERIA CHILDREN

Tenacity is using new data to make new decisions to find new pathways to find new ways to achieve goals when the old ways didn’t work by ~Seth Godin. Our hypocrisy has suffered shame. We are quick to use Abraham Lincoln as an example of a man with a never-give-up spirit. We use President Lincoln to motivate ourselves to never give up on our goals and aspirations. But when GMB was showing persistence in the pursuit of his aspiration, we lambasted him. We said he was too old to be the president of the country. We said he was too desperate for Aso Rock, that he must have an ulterior motive (like planning to Islamize Nigeria). What hypocrisy! But Buhari, a great man, was never deterred. He was unmindful of our criticisms. After three failed attempts, he finally got what he wanted. Those who said he was too old now call him a dogged fighter, a man of history.

Whoever says he or she is too old for enthronement should take a lesson from GMB. With persistence and courage, you can get to your desired throne. Men, don’t give up. The power to enthrone and dethrone a king resides in the people. Nigerians are increasingly enlightened that political sovereignty lies with them. Spiritual fathers are good. We need their prayers. But in politics, don’t lean on them at the expense of your political godfather. Those spiritual fathers, they understand everything but not the abracadabra of politics. Don’t abandon your political master thinking the prayers of those little gods in cassocks will suffice for you. In politics, place your political godfather above spiritual men.

Everybody wants to associate his or herself to  success not a failure 3 times this man failed even his neighbour and family members were avoiding  him now he succeeded old classmates from 1953 now remember they were in the same school together. The lesson here is never give up on ur dream!  No vision speaks at the beginning but at the end it shall speaks thou it may tarry. The most difficult thing is the decision to act the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward. ~Robyn Davidson

Gen Buhari is one man who has lived above board. People freely call him and deservedly too, THE INCORRUPTIBLE. Gen Buhari has held virtually every juicy position in Nigeria at the very top but till today even his worst enemies couldn’t pinpoint even one kobo against him. Nobody has yet come out to accuse Buhari of taking even a kobo that doesn’t belong to him. Buhari was head of state, minister of petroleum resources, governor of Borno state and more recently, the chair of the petroleum trust fund (PTF) which was then the cash pot of the nation. However, there has not been even an allegation of Buhari taking even a dime that is not his. This is remarkable. The Moto of Gen Buhari which he stated was that anything that doesn’t belong to him, he doesn’t need it.

The only one to thank is God who gave buhari the uncommon attributes of integrity, modesty and tenacity. Buhari’s victory, which is the first of such in the country’s political history and a novel occurrence in the African continent, actually tasked the commitment of Nigerians to the entrenchment of representative government. The success of Mr. Buhari at the election across the country proved he is the choice of the people for his resilience and tenacity over the years. By his resounding success in the election across the country, General Buhari has proved that he is the choice of the people,” his resilience and tenacity over the years which have seen him equal the record of great leaders like Abraham Lincoln of the USA. His victory is a lesson to all of us that we can be what we want to be if we are patient and persistent in our legitimate pursuits in life”. “His speeches before, during and after the election are also commendable because they went a long way in dousing the tension in the country. This actually shows that the ‘Peoples General’ as he is fondly called is indeed a statesman’.

It is not only the Super Eagles that can turn Nigerians to sudden mathematicians. Results of the presidential elections can, too. As the results were being announced, Nigerians were recording and calculating the figures in their houses and offices, the victory is for all Nigerians. Governance knows no party. The APC, hear the words of Nigerians: We have set you on the throne with our political power; we can dethrone you in four years’ time with the same power.  Nigerians are difficult to please. They hail you today and crucify you tomorrow. The APC stalwarts shouldn’t think that Nigerians voted for the party because they love it. No. They voted for GMB. Four years ago, they voted for GEJ and not the PDP. This time, they have told GEJ enough is enough. They will treat the APC-led government the same way if it fumbles. GMB must show us that there is a difference between change and transformation. He must prove to us that beyond semantics, change is better than transformation.

Life is a struggle. Life wills through curveballs at you, it will humble you; it will attempt to break you down. And just when you think things are starting to look up, life will smack you back down with ruthless indifference. The reason most people never achieve their dreams is because they simply give up. Life was never meant to be easy it’s a constant struggle, with extreme lows and extreme highs. Remember that the times when it’s most important to persevere are the times that you will be most tested. Never give up on something that you can’t go a day without thinking about by Sir Winston Churchill.
