That was the campaign slogan of President Barack Obama on his way to the white house, He didn't tell Americans and the people of the world that "Yes I can", he said to them we would change the country together, and the response is always "Yes We Can", he said,"I am asking you to believe not just in my ability to bring about the real change in Washington...,I am also asking you to believe in yours". Nigeria can be rebuilt to a first world country if we believe in our own ability to do that, we can be a food basket nation that will feed others, we can build more refineries to meet our daily demand and others, we can transform our educational system so that No Nigerian needs to go to another country to get a 21st century Education, We can make light stable once more to attract foreign investors and create millions of Green Jobs, We can have a new Primary health care policy that is affordable to all,All these are possible, don't tell me that we cant do

I was reading through people's status on facebook and I came across a very important subject that my fellow counterpart shared on his profile, its a basic discussion about Nigeria, some people dropped by and gave their own comment, some even suggested that we outsource our Government to foreigner with experience about handling a country or a project with same or bigger magnitude as Nigeria's, some of the suggestions were Bill Clinton, Kofi Annan, and a host of others as Project Managers, But do we really think this is a solution, but its an option as someone said, I believe that, its only a matter of time that our beloved country will migrate from the current state we are in to a more better one, its just a matter of time that we will have a Nigerian that will come from nowhere and inspire all of us to a common cause just as Obama did, I believe its just a mater of time that Change will surely come to Nigeria, But there will be set back in the process, Democracy is still young

That was my cousins (Yusuf Salisu) speech title at the Toastmasters International Speech contest of Division D of District 51. I participated in the Table Topics (impromptu Speech) Contest and a funny thing that cost me the championship happened, I got a wrong word pronunciation from the Contest Chair, which made me to misinterpret the whole question, as thus making me to deliver a good wrong speech. Overall, I enjoyed myself throughout especially the other speeches delivered and am looking forward to listening to the MD/CEO of Malaysian airlines and the Kuching Convention next month, I promise to listen carefully to avoid such mistakes, i was really angry so as Ms Sentha and my friends that I was busy talking like.........

Dr. Ngozi Iweala was Nigeria's former Finance and Foreign minister, she was in the country over the weekend and delivered a lecture on how to bail our economy, saying that the Federal Government should take $13.3 billion of the current $20 billion balance in the account and invest it in a long term infrastructure that could grow the economy and diversify it from oil. The money was realized from the excess Crude-oil account she started while she was the Finance minister, a lot of people called the account illegal, but we are reaping the benefits of the savings that has being done, Dr. Iwaela is one of the best economist we have at our disposal, so we have to make the best use of her knowledge or else other countries that are willing to progress will use her knowledge to develop into a third world nation.

The federal Government released another Billions of Naira (N323 Billion) to be used to complete the abandoned Power Projects, Its like the Yar'adua administration are doing all they can to make sure that Power is a little bit stable before the campaign for 2011 starts, I think if the Power projects goes well, It will not be a big problem for 2011, but the ECONOMY, the state at which our nation is in now is alarming, the past administration made Nigeria to fall asleep, Nigerians were invisible to their government that was why any action taken by the past administration is being investigated now since we got a wake-up call by this administration. I do have this debate with people that Yar'adua is very slow in terms of making Policies and decision making, But I normally tell them that, from my point of view, what lead to corruption by some officers is that the problems that is being forwarded to the president is not well looked into;before Yar'adua came into power, Money will
