At the start of each year, majority of Nigerians come up with long and sometimes ambiguous lists of things they plan to improve on in various aspects of their lives. The resolutions cover a wide range of activities from health consciousness to financial prudence. However, according to a Forbes publication in January 2013, only 8% of people achieve their New Year resolutions. In the same report, up to 40% of people make New Year resolutions which show there is a will by a sizeable number of people but majority of them will fail in their bids.
