Nigeria of my choice....
I give thanks to everyone for your interest in my my work and am very sure that your actions have helped me tremendously . Thanks greatly
There are many Nigerians that had lost hope on this country but I just don't want to join the bandwagon. An not a pessimist but optimist who still see hope , joy , on the horizon . I have this opinion to share.
In the first instance, history is replete with some countries who had far more difficulties in Economy ,Politics ,Education , Sports than Nigeria in the past but today they are doing fine. On a more serious note , I can vividly remember Taiwan , Singapore , Malaysia , their economy is in fine shape. These countries are fondly called Tiger Countries based on their exploits in different fields of Human Endeavours. They looked inwards to create a formidable and coercive platforms for effective growth and developments. In the 70s , Nigeria gives these Countries money to meet up with their deficits. Today , their stories had changed for better. Nigeria"s stories can changed for good as well.
Availability Of Human Resources.....
Nigeria is endowed with human resources capable of making her great in the comity of Nations. There is no disputing the fact that there are many talented men and women with various degree of skills , which can be used to turn Nigeria around. By Population as at 2020 , it is estimated that Nigeria's population was about 250 million with the interpretation that People are available to carry out many tasks for National development. Are they being used to paddle the canoe of the Nation ? Many graduates in various fields are available but yet are roaming the streets in search of none existing jobs .Provisions are needed to be made for them , so that their potentials could be exploited for good of the Nation at large. With this estimated population , Labour is available for some of our industries and this accounts for drift to our urban centres in search of greener pastures. Lagos , for instance , is filled to the brim and the adjacent state of Ogun is sharing from the impact of this population flow. They are needed to be taken care of in many ways than one.
Leadership Deficits....
Nigeria as a nation needs visionary leaders that can transform ideas into visible realities which can help the Nation to grow in the right directions. What surprise me most is that some of these people that find themselves in the position of authorities today were followers in the past and they too were full of complaints about the leaders in position of authorities then. Now , they are there. Why is the Nation not benefitting from their wealth of experience ? There are many questions that are begging for answers. If we say adults are bad , what of many Youths that finds their ways into corridors of power , what have been their contributions to plethora of challenges facing the Nations today ? I believe unequivocally that if all hands are on deck and we are fully committed to Nigeria projects , we will all sing halleluyah chorus signaling our onward movement to enviable heights of our dream.
Market Orientation.....
It is important for Nigeria and we Nigerians to develop our Markets to enviable heights in the comity of Nations. Nigeria has high purchasing power in our population to patronize our home grown Industries for effective growth and expansion. No wonder some citizens from other ECOWAS COUNTRIES throng Nigeria with their products , since they know that patronage is assured for their products. From the News recently , we were informed that newly constructed Rail lines from Abuja to Kaduna had raked in whooping sum of money in the region of #300 billion in the last one year. This is the power of market. If this continues without any disruption , only God knows the amount of money that would accrue to the purse of Nigerian Government. This , no doubt would help many people to be gainfully employed and help development of other sectors of Nigeria life.
Security Of lives And Properties.......
Security of lives and properties is very essential for developmental progress to take place unabated in any Nation. Though Nigeria government is trying her best in this direction , there is a need for all hands to be on deck to achieve optimum security for all and sundry. Without mincing words , Security is everybody's business to create stability in the minds of everyone. Business thrive where there are no fear in the minds of the citizenry. It is highly necessary for government to stamp out issues of terrorism and banditry in our lands for good.
Performance Of Our Security Personnel's is Suspect.......
Do we have security in Nigeria ? This is a million dollar question in the lips of everyone in Nigeria today. This may not be unconnected with the activities of some of them that are really disgusting. Some of them leave their primary assignment undone but take solace in harassing the innocent people with legitimate businesses to deprive them of their hard - earn money. Where innocent people refuse to part away with some of their money , they illegally rope them with uncommitted crime in order to forcefully collect money from them. The transport sector is hard hit. Security personnels daily collect money from drivers plying the road through creation of illegal road blocks. This has bad effect on transport business in Nigeria.
Actions Are Needed To Be Taken ......
Nigeria is a beautiful country to be held in the comity of Nations which must be respected and adored. Join me in my world to believe in Nigeria. Let us change our perception . This would go along way in giving Nigeria a good image.
