Everybody talks about changing Nigeria, but we wait for government while our streets stay dirty and our youth stay idle. I think real change starts with small habits we can control today. First, buy one Nigerian thing on purpose every week. Not because it's cheap, but because someone in Aba, Onitsha, or Kano made it. If 10 million of us spend ₦1,000 weekly on local shoes, soap, or food, that is ₦10 billion staying here. That is jobs without any policy. Second, teach one person one skill for free. You sabi graphics? Teach your younger brother Canva for 30 minutes. You sabi POS business? Show your neighbor how to balance daily sales. We complain about unemployment, but we hoard knowledge. If each of us transfers one skill monthly, in one year we create a workforce government cannot ignore. Third, clean your front, not just your compound. The gutter in front of your house is not LAWMA's problem alone. Every Saturday, 15 minutes with your neighbors to pack plastic. PH, Lagos, Abuja — floods start from blocked drains we all ignore. Nigeria will not change by prayer alone or by insulting leaders on Twitter. It changes when ordinary people build small, consistent habits. I am starting with these three this month. What habit will you add?
