This is a very simple question which many will like to answer as it is. but we need to look into this issue with more prudence. who are the problems of Nigeria? is it the government? or the people of Nigeria?
Whenever any small thing happens, the song of the people is always 'government cause am'. but indeed, do the government caused our problems as Nigerian? then who is the government? you or me? spirit or human? God or the devil?
this is a very simple question with simple answer: the people which comprises me and you constituted the government.
so if you say that the government are the problems of Nigeria, then you are saying that you and i are the problems of Nigeria which is the real answer; although many of us do not see it this way.
LET'S analysed it together. when a road within our vicinity got roughened or bad, everyone keeps shouting government. tell me, who are those living near that road, the government or you? that is the number one illustration. WHEN the government constructed a road and all you knew how to do is to keep on pouring dirty water on it, dirtying it and boring in it, you, thereby creating holes that could be expanded by rain water. this in the presence of flood could expand to a great potholes which could lead to gully erosion.
Now when such began to happen, it is a thing that everybody in such street could contribute some money or the other to repair every damage, but you see, they are all waiting on the government to come and do it for them. as times goes by such if neglected could endager the whole of that area, as we all knew, a sticth in time saves nine.
you don't need to wait on any government on what you knew you could do. LEAVE the hard part for the government to tackle.
also look at our rich men today, they don't want the money to leave their domain and they are not ready to use it to help someone. i would suggest that the government set up a law for all the industries and investors in the country. IF YOU WANT TO INVEST IN MY COUNTRY, PER MONTH YOU WILL EITHER BE PAYING SOME CERTAIN AMOUNT TO CERTAIN BODY OR YOU MUST SPONSOR A SECTOR IN THE COUNTRIES DEVELOPMENTAL PROGRAM.
this will give rooms for foreign investors to invest in NIGERIAN AND NOT ONLY IN NIGERIA. and this will also lessoned the burden on the government.
i must confess, we are the problems of Nigeria and we are also the solution to the problems of Nigeria.
government cannot do everything, so we need investors to help them out.
MIND YOU, THE GOVERNMENT ALSO IS NOT ALSO LEFT OUT IN THIS BLAME, FOR IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO. why should our government be selling all those goods that could have generate a lot of employment opportunity for our youth to the foreigners. i heard sometime that some gold were discovered in the north, but my greatest surprise was that the government of then decided to export that gold to Europe, i now thought it within me that if instead of taking it abroad we bring down investors to come and build industries here, may be some of our youth could have been employed.
also why should a reasonable government be looting the people's money abroad? NOT LESS THAN 4 GOVERNORS WERE CONVICTED OF THIS SAME CRIME BETWEEN YEAR 2005-2007 STARTING FROM ALAMIESIEGHA OF BAYELSA STATE, TO AYO FAYOSE OF EKITI STATE. our presidents are not also left out.
IN preparation for the 2007 election, in 2003, it was reported that BABANGIDA BUDGETTED $6BILLION. for what? for the 2007 poll. IF Such money is used on the educational sector of the country, may be our universities could have gained respect, may be we could have more than enough universities instead of this insufficient 89 universities.
if such money is used on our sport sector, may be Nigeria could have win the world cup, or may be we could have been the best sporting Nation in the previous olympics in beijing. what a government indeed.
BABANGIDA ISN'T THE ONLY ONE ON THIS, IT IS LIKE A CULTURE TO ALL OUR PAST AND PRESENT PRESIDENTS IN NIGERIA.
ALSO, WHY SOULD WE HAVE TO BE ABANDONING MOST OF THOSE THINGS WE COULD HAVE MODIFIED JUST BECAUSE WE WANT NEW THINGS TO TAKE THEIR PLACE?
this reminds me of those time when we were still using those record plates or cd and catridge, at the emergence of VHS those two go to an extinct in Nigeria. at the emergence of VCD, VHS was becoming obsolete again, and at the emanation of DVD, VHS become extinct while VCD is becoming obsolete again. why do all these have to be so?
we have capable engineers in this nation who could turn all those thing into something more modern to the extent that even the white will admire it. but we are wasting too much resources.
our VANDALIZERS are also not left out, as the government is building something, so also our youth are VITUATING it. a lot of pipelines have been vandalised, our power stations is not also left out in this attack.
you see, everybody is a mess, both the government and its citizens are the problems of their own Nation.
as one tries to build it as a nation, so the other are saying NO WAY!!!
