The change you desire to see begins with you- President Buhari tells Nigerians

President Buhari yesterday asked Nigerians to be the change they so desire to see as the much desired change begins with them. He said this at the launch of a new initiative, Change Begins With Me campaign, in Abuja.
"I am therefore appealing to all Nigerians to be part of this campaign. Our citizens must realise that the change they want to see begins with them, and that personal and social reforms are not theoretic exercise.
If you have not seen the change in you, you cannot see it in others or even the larger society. In other words, before you ask ‘where is the change they promised us’, you must first ask how far have I changed my ways, ‘what have I done to be part of the change for the greater good of society? Nigeria today is passing through a challenging moment where hardly anything works in a normal manner. Many have attributed this phenomenon to the total breakdown of our core values over the years. It is safe to say today that honesty, hard work, Godliness have given way to all kinds of manifestations of lawlessness and degeneration in our national life. This is why we have among our cardinal objectives ‘change’, which implies the need for a change of attitude and mindset in our everyday life.”he said

  7. REAL CHANGE BEGINS WHEN PMB CONVERTS SOME OF THE PRESIDENTIAL FLEETS TO AIR NIGERIA. CHANGE BEGINS WHEN JUSTICE IS IN HIS GOVERNMENT.

  10. CHANGE CAN NOT START WITH US BUT YOU

    In the past one year, this government has displayed a lack of coordination, and inconsistency in issuing policies. That has impacted the economy rather poorly.
    Today, in many places in Nigeria, people are starving and the tension that pervades the land reminds one of the Sani Abacha years. In the midst of such hopelessness, crimes will rise and duplicity will increase as people hustle to survive. In that same period, Buhari and Mohammed will launch a campaign to teach people to be honest and accountable.
    Please PMB and your personal loud speaker Sir (Sir Lie Mohammed), change does not and can not begin with Nigerians and we will not let you and your clueless government shift that responsibility to us. If you want change, let it start with you and your so called led government, all your ministers especially the one that always wore red meaningless beret like element of colonial debris, including the NASS members like Saraki n Dogara who had refused to give up their seats despite found wanting for corrupt practices and insubordination.

  19. The fool,he is just trying to subvert and divert attention from his failures! If I want a change in dollar price, how does that begin with me? Should I transform myself to become a dollar or what? If I want a change in d prices of food in the market, how does that start with me? If I want NEPA to give me light, how does that start with me? This government is the biggest 419 of all time! He promised change when coming to power. Now, he says we should not ask him for that change o; that we should ask ourselves for change. Ohh, we have been conned by the master con-artists!!

  28. I dont understand this change begins with me, does it mean I have to change myself to adapt to suffering, change my mindset to adapt to no electricity, change myself to adapt to one meal a day, change myself to adapt to accepting lies and propaganda from APC. I am yet to understand this.

    I was told while I was gtowing up that only cowards put the blames of their failure to others.

  34. Buhari will you die if you start the change yourself, or will you lose any family member of your family begin the change ? Rather than flaunting expensive designers on social media. Presido you don f%%k up

    ReplyDelete
  35. Ok. So U realised the change U promised U hadn't fulfilled it? What a well-articulated twist of promises made. Well, for those still waiting for change, U better double ur hustle and channel ur resources to better urself rather than having an illusion that this administration is coming to your aid.

  41. Yes the change begins with you, Nigerians need to change their mind set and behaviour. Greed every where, we are the biggest, narcotics traffickers, internet fraud, kidnappers, corrupt people. sorry it seems harsh but it is the truth. for some of yo how are parents you might have an idea how hard it is to bring about change to a child that has all or any of these attributes. Unfortunately this is the situation Nigeria has found its self right now. In every facet of Nigeria we have some bad people that are bent on not wanting Nigeria to break down, however God is working for us and this will not happen. CHANGE BEGINS WITH YOU

  42. I am a member of an organisation founder Frank Buchman formerly Oxford Group year 1921 renamed year 1938 Moral Re-Armament and from 2001 Initiatives of Change. It is a movement of people committed to change. Please check this online. We believe absolutely that when one requires change, the change starts with me. Please this is nothing new, we have former presidents including Nigerian presidents who partnered with us to effect changes. So we honestly do not need to launch this with whooping back breaking budgets. Our slogan since 1921 has always been 'the change starts with me'. Thank you. Agbo
