Yes, Nigeria can still be great only, If we can change our orientation; If we can live a selfless life; If we can put national interest above personal or individual interest; If we can love our country (Nigeria) and love one another; If we can see political offices and appointment as an avenue to serve rather than opportunities to corruptly enrich ourselves and our families at the detriment of others; If we can elect people to serve based on conscience and integrity and make them accountable; If we eliminate the spirit of ethnicity,religious bigotry and tribalism (ethnocentrism); If our laws are respected by the rich and the poor and no one is allowed to live above the law; and If we can take pains to identify and elect good leaders and trust them, then Nigeria will become great!!!
