Criticism from Afar.

Nigerians have been known to criticize their presidents not because they are never satisfied but because each of them failed. Nothing hurts like when you have your hopes dashed by whom you placed so much trust on.
On the political front we Nigerians need delivery of promises.

Someone has said, 
"BELIEVE ME OR NOT THIS IS THE MOST CLUELESS GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA'S HISTORY EVEN ABACHA WAS BETTER
DON'T BLAME GEJ HE CONTESTED IN 2015 AND HE FAILED (for the first time) . GEJ IS USED TO GETTING EVERYTHING SO EASY FROM DEPUTY GOV TO PRESIDENT HE WAS RELAX THINKING 2015 WILL BE LIKE 2011. GEJ TRUSTED PEOPLE BUT THEY FAILED HIM.
BUHARI WAS READY IN 2015. .THAT'S WHY HE SAID EVEN WE MUST ALL DIE 2015 IT MUST BE HIM BUT UNFORTUNATELY HE WAS JUST READY FOR POWER AND NOT TO RULE"

It's not just Nigerian Now who sees the error of Buhari.

"President Buhari administration lacks vision" so says a USA ex lawmaker, Mr pete Hoekstra revealed.

1. He said, president Buhari was Nigeria problem, not its solution

2. The US lawmaker noted that president Buhari anti corruption drive was selective

3. He said, an anti corruption drive, that is selective and focus on senior member of the opposition party create deep political division.

4. He said, members of president Buhari own cabinet, accused of large scale corruption walk free.

5. He said, seventy percent of the national treasury is spent on the salaries and benefits of government officials.

6. He said, the manufacturing sector, essential to Nigeria diversification, has been hardest hit in president Buhari one year reign in office, exacerbating an already fast growing employment crisis

7. He said, foreign investors have started to flee in mass.

Alright, who are the corrupt APC members in president Buhari cabinet? Let us have your input on this platform. May God deliver Nigeria.
Amen

The Nigerian Blame game Continues.

Nigerians have always played the blame game. Government and citizens alike. We blame the president, we blame his vice, the Senate and Senators, Governors and the local government.
Aside the government we blame rich family members, we are waiting for that uncle or that aunty  to  do this or that. We are never thinking in our capacity for ourselves, if we do, just very few of us. We wait for government intervention on even proper disposal of our waste in the right other at designated places of disposals. We are like the proverbial young man whose father married for him and he kept waiting for the father to impregnate his wife and on his dying bed he blamed his father.

We have not realized that it's not about what Nigeria can do for you but what you can do for Nigeria. It is so every where, don't point fingers at any country.

We are the ones exploiting ourselves, we enslave our fellow Nigerians, we over work and over use them while under paying them, when they die at 40, we blame the government for making the nation harsh.

We have refused to obey our own laws and constitution, we are all lords and therefore above the law, but wait until we are victims, then we blame the system for not being just.

In the capacity of our economy, one will think Nigeria will experience a decline in baby production, but since there is no OPEC to regulate, we are all determined to out do our forefathers, who had twenty and pushed them all into farming. Our neighbor has eight and therefore we must pass our neighbor. And when we can't train them, we blame the government for poor policy and child care support.

We go to China and request for a substandard product, so we can make massive gains. Wait until we buy one fake product and we will lament on how much corruption has eaten deep into the political system.

Our lecturers want to be sorted, if you cannot afford it, cash or kind, then you must fail. Yet he will join and complain Nigerian youths are unemployable. How can they be when the real graduates are still in queue waiting to graduate from various universities.

Politicians will embezzle money meant for one health care program or the other, and when they become ill they run to one foreign hospital for medical care and blame the lack of quality medication in Nigeria.

It's high time we rethink our methods in Nigeria and realize that no one is coming to build Nigeria for us, if we don't.
Nigeria is depending on you.....don't depend on Nigeria.

Will Nigeria ever be reformed?

Some have said that the president is mentally weak to move the country forward, others have termed him after zik - a ceremonial president.
Nigeria as a country was colonized by Britain and got her independence in the year 1960.
With a well geographical features which includes, a well-spaced landscape, natural resources like petroleum, coal, uranium, copper, rich in agricultural produce and lots more.
Nigeria is known as the giants of Africa, yet still termed poor. Nigeria has been termed an ‘underdeveloped countries’ in world affairs while others rightly have referred to it as a 3rd world nation.
Nigeria is not called an underdeveloped nation because they lack what it takes to be developed but because they are yet to mobilize their resources.
Nigeria has money, human and natural resources to which the government have stolen for their personal and family gains. Question remains who are the government and who and who have put them in power. Nigerians lack political interests, the question always is "so so politician na my papa?" at such votes are easily rigged and still the average Nigerian will care least. Especially in the east where they are after their marketing. The problem of Nigeria has been identified by international and local scholars. Yet no government has ever risen beyond the Nigerian mentality of corrupt embezzlement.
For Nigeria it has always been of great expectations of progress. Which remains just expectations.

Below are the measures through which poverty can be averted in Nigeria:

EDUCATION: In Nigeria, the education sector is still lacking behind, especially in the rural areas and in some urban areas as well.
The leaders don’t seem to care about the education sector of the country because they believe that they can afford sending their children abroad to go get a better and quality education; while the people they are leading still suffer and complain of limited conducive learning space or stacked like a pile of cards in the name of learning.
In some rural areas, there are no good schools around, some still stay under trees to receive lectures while some seat on the bare floor.
Nigeria is seen outside the world as the giant of Africa and the leaders are to prove that; by trying as much as possible not to disappoint the-led.

They should make others from abroad want to come to Nigeria to school and to get their Master’s degree, not the other way round.
It has been carried out by research that 60% of Nigerians are illiterates because they can’t afford the four-walls of the Nigerian Schooling System; not because they cannot improve but because of funds.

DEVELOPMENT: In the area of development, Nigeria needs to wake up from their slumber.
During the era of the colonial masters, they saw something in Nigeria that made them turn the country to a mechanism as a source of supply in developing their country, but Nigerians still depend on foreign influence long after independence.
Nigerian Leaders needs to stand and come together to suggest the way forward in developing the country and not running after foreign influences that left the country stranded by turning Nigeria into a dumping ground for finished goods and services.
Moreover, there are no good roads in the country and as the giants of Africa, we should lead by example; and not when contractors are being awarded projects to carry out ending up diverting the funds into their account without proper project.
Nigerians should probe more on developing their industries so as to promote homemade production instead of preferring imported goods.
Meanwhile these imported goods were made from the raw material exported from Africa which should be the more reason why Nigeria should make use of what they have to produce the quantity and quality they need. Another aspect is Piracy which is at its peak due to poverty in Nigeria.

AGRICULTURAL SECTOR : Coming to agriculture, more funds should be pumped into agriculture to enable and encourage farmers to focus on producing more needed farm produce rather than buying canned food which were all imported.
Nigerian leaders should be able to make and keep some certain laws; like prohibiting the importation of already processed foods into the country, instead of patronising the locally made foods.
These leads to poverty because after the farmers work so hard to produce, you see the rich expected to buy these produced goods exporting theirs from abroad.

UNEMPLOYMENT: The issue of unemployment is fast rising among the youths. This has led to poverty to the extent of engaging the youth in armed robbery, kidnapping, etc in order to make ends meet. To solve this, more jobs should be created.
Also, centres for acquisition of skills where people get acquainted with time management instead of waiting on the government for jobs that is not forth coming should be more elaborate.

If the current president can rise above the status quo of fixing one bug and introducing several new ones and create a reform against the rot Nigeria and Nigerians are in, his name will live forever - but Nigerians have never taken posterity to heart. We all want to be remembered for our great wealthy and not for our great acts.
