Do all these in the comment section, as that is where it all goes down.

TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION : PARADIGM SHIFT

I know some might be wondering what paradigm shift means, well in simple terms, it means doing something differently from the way it has always been.

So for this week, we want to know;

  • What can you do differently to make our country better?

You can relate your answer to any situation you have experienced or someone you know, either ways just be creative and sincere with your response.

OR
  • Tell us, what have you tried doing differently but did not work out and why do you think it didn't work?

You can give answers to either of the questions or both, any how you want it, just do well to be creative and most especially do not feel obliged in any way. If you feel you don't have any thing to say as regards the topic of discussion that's also fine, after all we are here to discuss so you just have to read the responses of others and leave them a comment and let it go on and on.

untitled.gif


Don't you think we are forgetting someone?... Well, I'm sure we are...

Oh yes before I forget, there are also prizes for those that did well to invite someone new to the party and also you that has done well to invite someone you are also not left behind because you didn't leave anyone behind. But wait... Not so fast, this time you have to be more intentional about your invite, yes that's right...you know what you benefit when you engage so why not let others know about it. In fact I will advise you look beyond the prize but look more to doing something different even for your Naija brethren by showing them the way here.

untitled.gif

With all that said, let the discussion begin....

Hey buddies.

Nigerians are the kind of people that can easily be referred to as rare breed.We can survive what other nationals won't.
Let's see what this weekend topic is all about. In fact that is what my opening speech is all about.

What can you do differently to make our country better?

There are many things that are not in the right places or handled well in our nation. Some of these things are what makes life comfortable for the ordinary man. So, if I have the opportunity to do something differently, it would be in different areas.

First, there will be a central water distribution. Like in modern societies, water is solely distributed to homes and organization by the water agencies. I would do same for my nation.
The next would be in the area of domestic gas supply. Every home will be supplied cooking gas through a central depot and the citizens would have to just pay a subsidized amount of money on a monthly basis or bi-annually.

Electricity is another thing that calls for immediate revision. I would have to stop importation of generators so that we can focus on building power generating dams or grip within the nation for constant power supply both for domestic and industrial use.

There would also be a fire-walled electronic system voting that would be transmitted on national television while election is on going to avoid rigging as much as possible. And to make the votes of the citizens count.
Another important thing I will do is that politicians will not earn as much a secondary school teachers let alone university lecturers.
You know, I could go on and on.

@treasuree and @wofaipeace, come and join in this conversation, engagement and meet with buddies from Nigeria. It is a weekend thing you'd enjoy.

Wow, these are all interesting contributions. Having a central system for distributing goods and services will make every zones in the country to have equal access to this products and services unlike what we have now that there is uneven distribution of social amenities.

Hmmm, deeper thought
You guys aren't helping matters
One vote means a lot for this race

We can't be shouting for change without taking actions

Let's do our part practically
Honestly, I am tired of suffering in Nigeria, and I believe my vote is a little action. If everyone do this , then we can be hopeful 👌

You are absolutely right, I'm guilty as charged but I can't do anything for this upcoming election, I do not follow politics and I don't want anything to influence me on my choice when voting.

I will do well to stay up-to-date henceforth on how my country is faring.

Thank you so much for your advice, I will keep it in mind.

First of all, I want to specially appreciate your presence here, this is my first time seeing you here and I really do hope you are here to stay because we do need you here, I need you here 🥰.

Back to what you have said, ya that is what we see around, we don't see the need of developing every state in our beloved country, most of these leaders just focus more on their own, how selfish, even when they know they can help as many as they want to.

I know there will be changes henceforth because as the saying goes, change begins with you and I so let's do well to contribute our quota for the betterment of ourselves and others.

I never knew they pay such huge amount of money to be a candidate for being a president. That needs to change, we should be more concerned of the qualities than the quantity. No wonder I heard some people borrow money during campaigns and all, ah! It is well.

That person was not far from the truth, the youths are the leaders while the elders are the experienced ones and their responsibility is to advise the youth and not to deprive them from leading, but the reverse is the case.

As youth we now do the advising while the elders do the leading, that's one area where things have gone totally wrong.

This mindset is not bad but it will stop people from taking some actions. We should not give up especially when we don't do anything but hear, we should both hear and do that is the only way change can truly come.

Let the change begin with you and I, in other words, let the work begin with you and I. We can start from somewhere, we just have to start.

Incredible sir! It shows you are surely thinking about the welfare of our country and you know, I believe we will achieve all of these things someday as long as we keep doing things differently and that is from evil to good.

I so much love that first point so much, there are so much states in our country that are suffering from different diseases and it's all because of bad water and lack of water. Water is life and when people lack some of these basic things, it's really just hard for them to be creative and play a good role in the betterment of the country.

Because of the lack of these things you've mentioned, that's why so many people sell their rights just to get a comfortable life for themselves even when it means they will have to do something wrong.

It's always a pleasure to read from you, you always give very good points on every discussion, that's totally impressive 👍.

Quite an interesting topic
As Stephen Covey said in his book
7 Habits of Highly Effective People

To change ourselves effectively, we first have to change our perceptions.

This made me realize that if I ever want to be a different person, first I have to change the way I see the world and my perception of things. I remember during the pandemic in 2020 when the whole world was shut down, schools were closed, all activities were put on hold and hospitals were the ones working the most. I must admit I felt scared and vulnerable because I didn't know what was the next step for me. This was supposed to be the year when I would finally become a graduate and get to do what I want. But no, COVID-19 just had to show itself.

During this phase, I went into something called a personality loop, where I got to question my existence and my purpose in life. I must say this was bad. I felt guilty about not doing anything meaningful than just sitting at home and watching the news, which didn't make it any better. But after a while, I knew this was going to end up badly for me because come on, I'm still young and I'm already feeling helpless and lost.

Then I finally decided to use this spare time covid-19 had given me to read books that I wouldn't read on a normal day because of the workload I had to handle from school and my courses. I started with The Subtle Art of not giving a fuck by Mark Manson, which happens to be my favorite book and my favorite author. Don't worry guys, soon I will do a book review on this book and you will get to see why I love the book so much, first, just give me a little time to read it for the third time. If there was one lesson the book taught me was you can't give a fuck about everything that goes on in this world, if so you will just get all worked up quickly. Rather you should focus on things you can solve if you gave a fuck about them.

As funny as it sounds, it's true. Imagine being worked up about things that you cannot solve for example the problem of insecurity in the country. No matter how hard you try or how bad you feel, with time you will come to notice that insecurity is something that's everywhere and can only be reduced through the collective effort of everyone and not just one person. Rather, why do you worry and think about those immediate problems within your reach or have to do with you, like your attitude towards challenges? Like how do you see problems that hit you, do you see them as something that can be solved or do you see them as something that has ruined you forever? If you are not aware, there is a saying,

if you want to change the world, start first by changing yourself.

With time and through the help of several self-development books, I have come to understand that in this life, there will always be problems but our attitude towards these problems determines if we can solve them or not.

So guys this is my Paradigm Shift and the new way I've come to see this world, thanks to books and life struggles.

To change the world, it begins with the individual, embracing what had been missing, discovering the purpose for existence.
But beyond all that, we should be able to come to that point where the welfare of our immediate environment is paramount.
A time when what becomes of humanity is as important as living.

Wow! I'm totally impressed with your approach to answering the question for this week. Sometimes we just worry ourselves so much that we want to be a superman or woman even when we know we can do little or nothing about a situation. Knowing our boundaries on what we can or cannot do will really help a lot in helping us give our best to our country.

That period of Covid 19 made so many people feel really helpless but like you said, sometimes there is just a few thing we can do to improve our lives and that of others and I think like you have said, having the right attitude towards things will be of great help.

The name of the book you read really got my attention, I think I will love to read the reviews on it, I will have to wait for you to finish it the third time, hehe, don't worry, I'm going to wait Patiently, I just pray I don't miss it.

If we can only change our attitude and mindset towards things, it will really help us in doing something differently and I'm very sure it will bring about the change we seek. And one thing we can do differently in the aspect of changing first, is by believing that there is something good in our beloved country and also that we can be better especially because we are involved.

Thank you so much @blackavalon for your amazing comment for this week's discussion, hope you are having a great weekend?

The of not giving a fuck by Mark Manson

I started reading this book early this year but I am yet to finish it, it's indeed a very interesting book but I just haven't found the time to complete it.

During the COVID-19 lockdown, most people saw it as an opportunity to rest and have some fun, just watching movies, roaming around social media, playing games, etc. I was also like you back then; I just woke up one morning and started questioning my existence and what the future held for me (I guess being cooped up in the house for months have started to get to me). I saw the lockdown as an opportunity to better myself, instead of just wasting it by watching movies and catching cruise on Twitter. I needed something meaningful to keep me busy and give me a sense of purpose, so I chose to learn graphics designing and that step alone took me out of the mental cage I created for myself.

You're totally right about focusing on things a person can solve. One thing I have learned from Mark Manson's book is that; if you can't do something about a problem and you see that it's beyond you, then why worry about it? Worrying won't solve it, you should rather focus on the things you can do on your own to make things better. Thanks for this wonderful piece, it's filled with lots of advice and tips, anyone wise enough will be able to pick them

It's a good thing to see a seconder of the book, I don't really like buying books because I might just end up not reading it but I do try to read some that I see.

You have learned a really good lesson from the book and it's really so nice that you shared your lesson with us. It's very foolish for anyone to want to change what they know they can't change, it only makes us feel more worthless the more we try.

Hello everyone ❤️, happy weekend to you all.

What can you do differently to make our country better?

Hmmmmm
Nigeria is tough already, almost every Nigerian has one complaint or the other. Obviously, there are many problems to address which we all know but rather than dwelling on complaints, we citizens can put in a little effort that will make a difference.

What I can do differently with all sincerity to make our country different are:

  • Equip myself with information that matters and lend my voice where it can be helpful
  • I can volunteer to participate in some health jobs in my local community (health center). You can find the post here with evidence.
  • I can extend a helping hand to the needy the much I can.
  • I will always be available by God's grace to cast my vote ✅ during elections

Well well well, how much I really wish for this country to get better.
What can I do?
I may not have alot to contribute but I do love to impact lives.
And that is one thing we can all learn to do.
It is not until you become wealthy and having an overflow that you can give to someone else....
The little you have can go along way to lift somebody else.
We cab pull funds together and help train someone else.

This is how I do mine.
I go about meeting people especially teenagers and youth who are in desperate need.
We have a heart to heart talk on what they can do with their lives...

Either learn a skill or checkout hoe they can save to start their own small businesses...

Until date I have registered like 5 friends to learn fashion design.
Not much money though as we havr local fashion designers that can teach you quality work with little money.

I have helped some with fund raising to complete their schools fees and all...

Have on boarded as many in financial crisis to hive whom I believe that hive finds can make impact in their lives...

Not a matter of pride though
But the interesting thing is that those you assist go all out to assist other people extending this kind gesture and everybody helps every else.

Lifting each other and impacting on one another can go along way since our government system is nothing to be hopeful for...

I invite @peterale @bimpcy to participate in this weeks engagement

This is awesome really. And I know it's not even half as easy as you explain it. It's also innovative, it's sets up a chain reaction (😂 like these pyramid schemes), the impact you have on just one person can be multiplied severally and it's a ripple effect, just goes on and on. Kudos to you, one day our dream Nigeria will surely be unveiled.

That's right dear, sometimes we are so shortsighted to see the bigger picture and we focus on the one in front of us.

I totally agree with you dear, we are surely going to get out country to the place it should be, all we have to do is stand together and never say never.

You're absolutely right Ma'am, we don't have to be very wealthy before we can impact the lives of our neighbors in turn our country, little act of kindness goes a very long way.

You sure know how to meet the needs of others and it's really something that we all should learn from and I'm so happy you shared it with us.

Once more, you are welcome to the Hive naija weekend engagement with @sam.hangout ❤️.

Hehe happy Friday Nigerian gorgeous people 🥰

In fact, cheers to Merit for stopping by Hive naija weekend engagement 😁😁

So I've read a lot of responses and I'll be reading more... Some people are yet to respond to the second question which I find more easy to respond to 🤣🤣

Nigeria is bad and I'll keep doing the little that I have been doing and planning to do 😊

But the second question sounds more fun or is it my response that's the fun? 🤣🤣🤣

Tell us, what have you tried doing differently but did not work out and why do you think it didn't work?

untitled.gif

  • Squeezing my face for a whole day
  • Getting angry for long towards somebody
  • Acting strong so I don't get pity (this happened only once I think)

Just a few minutes of my plan going well, my inner me will tell me that she is tired of squeezing and smiling will burst out as if somebody promised me $1000 Hive 😁

It's not that I like squeezed faces or getting angry o
I just too dey smile abeg and I nor sabi vex 😂😂😂 Nor look me like that 🙄

So I wanted to try something different but...

Hello lovelies 👋👋....

Yes it's another weekend for our amazing weekend engagement party, hehehe, ya and today we are having some interesting conversations going on at the comment section, good job guys 👍🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️, just making me feel so emotional, hahaha, just leave me alone, yes, you 😏.

Before I continue my madness, listen to what I have to say, will you? Stop doing your face like that, you should not be surprised, it's Hope that is speaking sha, incase you do not know the name 😁.

Now to my response, I will be bantering on the first question :)

What can you do differently to make our country better?

First of all, what I'm I even doing before? Hmm, I wonder, you do too right?

Well, if I'm to do anything differently, it would be improving more on how I communicate with you and anyone I meet. I want to be someone that speaks positivity to people and also someone that encourages people to be the best of themselves. Ya, that's pretty what I would love to change to make my country better.

There are so many people out there who communicate with the wrong ideas every now and then and this has affected the way they see themselves and even our country Nigeria, some are not doing anything because they've seen and heard that there is no remedy for our country, the question is, are you part of those that think this way or you are someone that spread these thoughts?

I always believe that words are very priceless and when given the chance to speak and you end up making someone feel worthless, it's better you didn't say anything sef. Hearing the right words at the right time will do so much in making our country a better place.

This is my reply to the topic for this week, do well to leave your advice and contributions, you know how much I love them, so do not hesitate one bit, hehehe. @ksam what are you doing? let me not call you again sha 😪. oh, that reminds me @obaro I haven't seen you engaging with us here before or have you? well don't think about it too much and just come and join the party and hope you are feeling better now?

Hmm... I think there is someone else I'm forgetting 🤔... oh ye! @josediccus Sir, it would be an honor to have you here 🥰, I really hope you stop by.

I'm a big advocate of a better Nigeria but I'm a bigger advocate of the japa sect😂.

As trivial as this may sound, I believe Nigeria can be a better place right from correcting the little things we do wrong, similar to what @blackavalon explained.

I make it a point never to dispose my waste anyhow. Even to the littlest water sachet or biscuits nylon or whatever. Many people around me think it's excessive but really, I find it barbaric. I especially hate it when people dispose stuff from a moving vehicle. Now they're no longer just throwing nylon and food remnants, some people now legit take their household waste to dump on their way out. It's uncool.

I don't want to japa tomorrow and go and embarrass myself and my family (in fact, my country at large) by throwing a nylon in the wrong place, make one oyinbo come dey follow me yarn nonsense 😂.

Gradually, people around me are starting to behave the same because when I insist they don't, they eventually get used to it. I even offer to keep it till I sight a waste bin.

Also, relieving yourself in an open place, oh my, I hate this very much 😂. These things are just basic moralities. Things we should imbibe in our personal lives. They don't just help the country, they reflect in our personalities and even globally because pollution is a global thingy, it's aggregating.

Wow, I love how you are doing things differently in the aspect of keeping your environment clean. While reading through this an idea just came to my mind when you talked about waiting till you see a waste bin before throwing away your dirt. I think we can supply waste bin in some places where people pass so they can dump their refuge, just thinking out loud.

Thank you so much for contributing in such a beautiful way to our beloved country, I think that's something we all can do to bring about change.

Let's take it down to politics, shall we?

To make this country better we all have to do it right coke 2023 election.

Who are you rooting for? Do you sincerely believe that this person will bring back the glory of this country or are you going to be among the people that will put us through another 8 years of misery.

Do you have your PVC already or are you among the sit down dey look

Everyone has a role to play directly or indirectly to play to see that come 2023, a good leader with enough capacity emerged as the next president of this country.

Capacity here means : mentally, emotionally, socially, healthy,academically and economically equipped.

This is a really beautiful way to do something differently,, I'm very guilty when it comes to politics, I really need to do my voters card, I will start working on it now. @nkemakonam89, @mrenglish and @merit.ahama you guys should come and read this.

You are highly welcome to join us this weekend in the hive naija weekend engagement, I'm really so happy you came and I do hope to see you next week and get more of what you have to say to us.

Engaging in this for this first time and I’d say this weeks topic is very interesting one. I’ll try to give the little 2cents I have.

From what I’ve experienced so far, I have observed that a lot of people show mundane attitudes towards alot of things that can make the country better, we aid and abet crimes, we are greedy and selfish.
A lot of people are living below the standard of living.

A lot can be done by me to make the country better in my own little way.
Even though it is going to be infinitesimal, I will help the poor around me in any way I can
Focus more on quality education from
the grass root and educate the younger generation, including myself, on things that will make them better people so that hustling can be done in a legit way and not see criminal activities as the only means of survival.

When you do the right thing and you find a way to make people around you know that it is what is right and they start doing it also, little by little
Small by small, things will start getting better.

The government is made up of selfish individuals & false promises.
Everyone wants a Nigeria that no one is more Nigerian than the other Nigerian. We all want equal opportunities, benefits and privileges.
The change begins with us as individuals first.

It's so good to have you stop by dear, I'm so expecting to see you next weekend, please will you liked to be tagged so you don't miss the next weekend discussion?

Back to your way of doing something differently, I think supporting those around you is a really good way to do something differently. Today, so many people are scared of helping those around them because they are scared of being hurt and also they just prefer to help only those that help them when they are in need.

I really pray God continues to give you all it takes for you to give the best to those that are truly in need.

I am an entrepreneur, and I have started many businesses in Nigeria. I have also started businesses in other countries, but I always come back to Nigeria. I have seen the potential of Nigeria, and I believe that Nigeria can be a great place. I am doing my part to make Nigeria a better place. I am investing in Nigeria, and I am helping to create jobs in Nigeria. I am also helping to educate people in Nigeria. I want to see Nigeria prosper.

I am not a politician nor do I have any intentions of running for office. However, I do have strong opinions about what needs to be done in Nigeria in order to make it a better place.

First and foremost, we need to tackle the issue of corruption. Corruption is Nigeria's number one enemy and it is holding us back from progress. We need to provide more opportunities for the people of Nigeria and less opportunities for the corruption.

Secondly, we need to improve our infrastructure. Nigeria's infrastructure is woefully inadequate and it is hampering our development. We need to build more roads, bridges, and dams, and we need to improve our power generation and distribution.

Thirdly, we need to improve our educational system. Nigeria's education system is in dire need of reform.
