After the 16 years governance of Nigeria by PDP, Nigerians home and abroad clamoured for "change". This 'change" mantra holds different meanings to different people, while some just wanted a "change" in the ruling Political Party, regardless of the people who made up the party. Some others wanted a "change" in our Political and Social Ideologies. Another set of people view the "change" to be in form of a new Leadership which would bring reformed changes to the Nation in no time.

It's been more than 6 months now since we ushered in a new Government and so many issues have come up. From accusations of misappropriation of funds, to the delay in naming our ministers, to the continued killings and kidnapped by the Boko-haram sect, to the intra-party brouhaha that happened when the NASSS wanted to choose its president and so on. One thing is obviously certain, this government is moving at a slow pace and this is all tabled at the desk of PMB. The conflicting thing then is whether the pace is good enough for the country's economy or he should hasten things up and get us to the "Promised Land".

There are 3 school of thoughts on this matter. The first believes the President can't move faster than this, they think we all need to take a chill pill, because according to them we didn't vote a miracle worker and we shouldn't expect to have one, that will clean up a 16 years rot in just 6 months, they say this is the way the change they voted for ought to play out.

Another school are of the opinion that 6 months is enough for us to have been seeing at least some visible changes in the economy in order for us to be able to sit back and relax knowing things will soon get better, so they are of the opinion that this is not the change they voted for, that Nigeria is turning out to remain the same with no change at all.

While some others like me, lol, see it as yeah, we know things are moving way slower than we expected it would, none of the campaign promises have been fulfilled yet, Boko-haram is still on rampage, Unemployment still on the high, Economic imbalance and so on. But even with all this we are still optimistic that our standing under the sun and in the rain to vote is not wasted, that our president being slow is only for the best, he is taking things one at a time and by this time next year the economy would have been better off by it all. We believe that this isn't quite the "change" we voted for but optimistic that we are still on the way to get the much desired "change.

Share your opinions. Which school of thought do you agree with.
