How about we forget about the Nigerian government for once and draw up a list of responsibilities for the masses who are complicit in its ruin. A Nigerian Civic Responsibilities Bill 2025

Ayo Akinfe

[1] Every Nigerian landlord shall install a solar panel on their property to help address the country's power crisis

[2] Nigerians shal place a 20 year moratorium on holding parties in exotic overseas locations like Dubai, Doha, Turkey and Seychelles, etc. Instead, they will opt for local facilities such as Obudu Cattle Ranch, Idanre Hills, Tinapa, etc

[3] Every Nigerian Christian and Muslim pilgrim will agree to a 10-year moratorium when it comes to going on religious pilgrimages to Saudi Arabia and Israel. They should invest that money locally to build up our own tourist industry

[4] Any Nigerian who notices their neighbour suddenly coming across inexplicable wealth should report the matter to the EFCC immediately

[5] Every Nigerian should reject food parcels and cash incentives offered to them by politicians at election time

[6] Every member of the public should adopt a Buy Nigerian First policy when it comes to purchasing consumer goods. We should only opt for foreign goods when the quality of local ones is unacceptable. We do not always need top-of-the-range goods

[7] Every Nigerian must queue when in public as part of a culture to breed discipline

[8] Rather than spray money at parties, the wealthy should gather such cash and use it to provide for the needy when celebrating events like birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, etc

[9] Every Nigerian must undertake never to discriminate against another citizen because they are from a different ethnic group or adhere to a different religious faith

[10] Citizens in every local government area should pool resources together to build at least one silo and warehouse to store their harvests, crops and food supplies
