Why must government insist that no road should be fixed by no other except govt. regardless of bad shape? Why? Selfish interest of few...

Approval should be granted to individuals and organizations willing and able to fix terrible state of our roads.

This divisional policy( federal, state and local government roads) should be abolished for better Nigeria.

Least qualification for voting should be O LEVEL or the equivalent. Enough of illiterates deciding the fate of the country.

Import duty.

It harms us badly, and we should remove subsidy and get our refineries working again. That done and we're back in business as Africa's largest economy.

Omoo

So the president voted will not affect them abi??

You should have said only PhD holders should vote for president so that only smart people from Ekiti will decide who's president.

Dundee.

I disagree, strongly, with you on the above!

Why should illiterates be at the forefront of deciding who should preside over the country? How enlightened are they rather than being tossed around by politicians who throw crumbs at them?

Are u scared u and ur colleagues at oluomo and sons company will be disenfranchised?

[quote author=Tb222 post=116469359]Every candidates contesting an election should be subjected to thorough scrutiny and examination by EFCC.

...usually get profiled by ICPC, public ( electorates) and Media houses through debate!

Elitism at its finest?

I seriously dont believe someone that claims to be enlightened and educated will make such a comment.

What is your highest level of education sir?

None...
we can now create our own policies ourselves

WEAC certificate bas nothing to do with elitism. If you cannot work in the civil service without it why should the major population of electorates be allowed to vote without it?. So someone who has refused to get even the most basic enlightenment, get basic knowledge about civic education, government, economics etc decide who leads a country that wants to progress and match up with other countries in development

If only you know how thousands of illiterate voters are assembled and instructed on who to vote. They all March like zombies and cast their votes as they were instructed. With basic education politicians will lose their most precious weapons of oppression

My level of education doesn't matter here, if I don't have a waec cert then let me not be allowed to vote

Quoter system.

hmmm,
I seriously believe school education shouldnt be a criteria for electing a leader.

You could be a college graduate and still be extremely clueless about polics

Denying someone his/her right just because they werent fortunate to go to college is elitism and a very provocative one.

Will you also say denying them government jobs and civil service positions is also denying their rights?
An average college graduate will not easily be manipulated. If u have visited some parts of this country you will understand where I am coming from.

I am not in Nigeria and i do not have an idea what goes on there but where i stay, the leaders make policies that affects everyone life. Therefore everyone is expected to choose a leader.

You are not different from Idi Amin

@ bolded I thought we were having an honest conversation. Anyway I will ignore that

What is the illiteracy level in the country where u reside? Since civil service job affects every one's life why won't they allow everyone take part of it?

Peculiar situations call for peculiar measures. People should be encouraged to get at the least the very basic education

Disenfranchisement that early Nationalists fought against, some random mumus want to bring it back.

I'm not uneducated, I come from a "learned" family and do this funny rule won't affect me in any way but I won't allow anyone be disallowed from choosing their leaders who will still rule over them. If they want to vote anyone they have the right to do so as long as they are humans.

i am in Austin Tx, here we all collectively elect who we wish to elect as our leader.

You dont deny people the right to vote just because they do not have a college degree.
That is pure wickedness

Attestation letter from a civil servant in level 14 and above before joining public service!

I don't care where u are and I don't care what they do there. If we have been getting it right in electing our leaders u won't be thinking u have made it in life by leaving ur country to live in someone's country as a 2nd class citizen

You are yet to answer my question, is it also pure wickedness to deny people the right to work in civil service because of college degree?

So withh the victory the nationalist got, where is Nigeria today? What does it take to be in the senate? What does it take to be a lawmaker? How has the decisions made by millions of illiterates who are easily swayed to any direction helped this country?

If a system is not working why not change it. Mr learned family

The country was run aground by educated military generals. The last president was a PhD holder, you people voted him out, voted for NEPA bill holder and now want to vote for a third class Dundee.

Do the illiterates in the villages whose representatives have refused to cite good schools in their community know that they are about to vote a Dundee?

Do u think the president has all the powers? What about the house of reps, LGA chairmen, senate, governors etc? Don't they rely on illiterates who they throw crumbs to to vote them?

Illiteracy and poverty are tools used by political class in order to keep reigning!

Continuous education and enlightment of electorates is vital towards election of better candidate without disenfranchisement.

I am yet to see a visionary selfless charismatic leader devoid of selfish, ethnic & religion color amongst Nigerian politicians, unfortunately!
