We need a major Rank Shifting in Nigeria

Before I get to the order of the day, please can you do me a favour? I am on bended knees. I would please like you to please support my hair blog, African Naturalistas, by voting it as the Best Topical Blog of the year in the Nigerian Blog Awards. I promise that you won't be asked to pay. We would really appreciate it if you support us by voting us as the winner of this category. It will help create more awareness for the blog. Anyone can vote irrespective of citizenship or location, you don't have to be a Nigerian or be resident in Nigeria. If you don't know what blogs to vote in other categories because you are not a Nigerian, it's fine. Just vote for the blog as the Best Topical Blog.

Many of us have been complaining that 'Nigeria is bad, Nigerians are voiceless, nothing good can ever come out of Nigeria,' and all those depressing statements we unconsciously prophesy into the future of our country. What many people agree on is the fact that for Nigeria to change, the mind-set and attitude of a lot of Nigerians would have to change. Right from the person that complains about the government, but don't fail to throw thrash on the express road immediately after LAWMA officials sweep it, to the ones that say our leaders are corrupt, but would not hesitate to pay for 'Special centre' for their kids to write JAMB or WAEC exam.

We need a major shift in our mind-set, and someone very close to me, Dayo Nigeria,  has tried to do justice to that, in his new book 'The Rank Shifting'

It isn't just like every other book, but one that traces any attempt to build a nation to the individuals in the nation. A country is just a name, that only gets her identity through the people that live in it. Therefore, if any meaningful transformation would happen, the author believes that it can only happen when the citizens of the country themselves have been transformed.

The summary is that it takes only a transformed man to get involved in transforming a nation. It all starts with personal grooming.
