The President's initiate to explore non-oil revenue sector is a great move in the right direction. Oil revenue has become a curse to Nigeria and has taken away the initiative from our leaders and Nigerians to lead and follow respectively in the right direction.

What bothers me and should bother every positive thinking Nigeria is that Nigerians know the right things to do but are not doing it. The way the leaders are in hurry to steal and stash away money in foreign land is beyond comprehension. It is even more painful to know that some Nigerians in the Diaspora are aware of this massive looting and participating in the cover ups.

Nigeria needs help and it would require the collective efforts of all of us to stop this malady. We cannot grow as a nation so long as we are stealing from ourselves. Only the few stealing individuals would grow but that is no growth until Nigeria grows. We do not want to look back and feel sorry for ourselves but we still have a second chance to change.

No matter how good the budget might look unless the operatives entrusted to lead us act as Custodians instead of robbers we might be running out of time.
