CHANGE

In May 2015, a former military head of state and dictator,  retired General Muhamudu Buhar, won  the presidential elections in Africa's most populated, and thus most complicated country; Nigeria.

His party APC "Action People's Congress" who delivered him as president, after three failed attempts by Mr. Buhari to win the presidency, promised millions of Nigerians change. In fact their motto throughout the election was the word CHANGE.

Although it is still too early to tell how exactly the president and his new cabinet, intend to change for the better, we Nigerians suppose, in a country that hails, encourages, and loves corruption, amongst other vices and ills; we sceptics, do not mind paying a ticket to watch this four year long show, that will hopefully take us to the next elections, in 2019.

Personally the only structural change I believe I will see in the next four years, will be in the landscape, as new luxury homes, hotels, and buildings emerge, as the lay man stops to look at and wander. The story of this country, since independence in 1960.
