The Right Mindset

Imnakoya writes about the "right mindset":

People always look up to the government as if it holds a magical wand which can be used to willy-nilly reverse the rots in the society. People talk of, and look up to “leaders” to fix problems -as if they are extra-terrestrial beings that dropped from the sky. The last time I checked, these “leaders” share one major characteristic with an average Nigerian: The same mindset."

Until Nigerians start taking baby-steps to effect changes, changes that can only be brought about by a change in mentality and orientation, Nigeria will remain broken. These steps will commence when we learn to ask questions…simple but meaningful questions. The simple “What”, “Why” and “How”. Identify the problem, figure out why they exist, or remain protracted after several failed remedies, then imagine how it can be fixed.
