The Federal Ministry of Information and Culture on Thursday lauched a new national orientation campaign, #ChangeBeginsWithMe.
President Muhammadu Buhari at the event, said: ‘If you cannot see the change in you, you cannot see the change in others’.
He added: “Before you ask where is the change they have promised us. You must ask yourself how far have I change so far”.
However, some Nigerians have divergent views about “the change” and from whom “the change begins with”.

MBuhari FYI I have changed. Yet to see you change by selling off some of the presidential jets. Lets start there. Shall we?

Recession is no longer a word, but Nigeria has the highest-paid government officials in the world. Does the #ChangeBeginsWithMe ?

“Change does not begin with the average Nigerian, it begins with those who promised change a year ago” #ChangeBeginsWithMe
@Franeb
#ChangeBeginsWithMe but you took the country into recession in 1984 and repeated the same feat in 2016.
Buhari Change should begin with you
However, reactions to the campaign are not limited to the sarcastic and the humorous.
