Benjamin Franklin once said "when you're finished changing, you're finished". I'd like to take that a step further by saying "we must be a part of the change we seek, or risk being changed ourselves".

The question is no longer "will Nigeria change"... but rather, it's "will it change for the better or worse" and "who will lead that change".

History is rife with instances of regimes, institutions and societies seeming stable and unshakeable... but young people being fed up with the status quo, became the catalysts of Change in their societies. In recent times we've seen young people all over the world clothe themselves with the "change" mantle and become a part of the movement. We've seen that no matter the society, and no matter the circumstances of oppression and corruption, change is possible if the people decide that enough is enough. From Tunisia, to America, to Egypt... young people are changing the world every day. Nigeria should be no different.

They say "insanity" is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. We cannot continue the same behaviours, year in, year out and expect better results. Except for prayer, you can't do the same thing over and over again and expect things to be better. And even with prayer, you actually have to get up and do something after all they say heaven helps those who help themselves.
l also stand for change.
I will also stand for change all the days of my life. The only constant thing in life is change. I love 'Positive Change'
