“Change does not just happen. You and I and all of us must appreciate that we all have our part to play if we want to bring CHANGE about. We must change our lawless habits, our attitude to public office and public trust. We must change our unruly behavior in schools, hospitals, market places, motor parks, on the roads, in homes and offices. To bring about change, we must change ourselves by being law-abiding citizens.’’ - President Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria's Independence anniversary speech.
Icheoku agrees that Nigerians have to be the change they want to see in others. The problem with Nigeria is lack of self discipline and until they self-discipline, all this noisy war against corruption will remain what they are - hollow jingles and soundbites. But a President Muhammadu Buhari, desirous of ridding Nigeria of corruption, must first reintroduce his famous War Against Indiscipline (WAI). He will then need to reeducate Nigerians into becoming a more circumspect people, who will shun greed and avarice and then learn to put country first and above self. Once this is done, it will be a bye-bye forever to corruption. To this effect therefore, Icheoku implores President Muhammadu Buhari to bring back WAI and jointly prosecute both wars as both are correlative and sacrosanct to each other. A disciplined society will definitely shun corruption.
