.quit the hatred bro
YOUWIN is not only better than this ur BPO but put better food on the table and also allow u (the beneficiaries)to employ an average of 2-10 pple
Nigeria needs has out grown jobs that pay 30k and u can't blame the citizens
Many are doing 2+ jobs simultaneously
Yes this is not a bad idea if it can be implemented effectively
But saying BPO is better than YOUWIN is not reasonable
Infact YOUWIN should be continued,improved on and d loopholes should be checkmate

YOUWIN gives real employment nt under employment

Sorry YouWin beneficiaries. Your businesses should thrive under positive economic policies. I just do not see the incoming government continuing with it.

Jaypea98:

OP Also let them know that the lasgidi government has also commenced installation ot solar panels in schools. Those ipps (5) would also power the light rails and adiyan water works .
Lagos is truly working

Good, people should realise that stable electricity is not rocket science.

There are some companies that rely on off-grid Independent Power Plants owned by foreigners in Nigeria. It is our poor thinking as Nigerians that makes it seem impossible.

mikolo80:
all this grammar.what we need are manufacturing jobs not e marketing of imported manufactured products
build industrial parks wit stand alone power supply for quick results
also agric and solid minerals need to be mechanised

Gej has lay foundation of industrial park where fertilizer among other will be produced
I just hope buahri won't cancel d project
Bcuz no matter what it will cost us nw
In d near future it will bring double succour to us

Mcowubaba:
u have a nice idea, but lemme like how much do u think will be payed to workers (i hope i won't be another case of under-employment) ?.
Wat academic qualifications will be required (or just training/orientation abt the job)
how effective are the Independent power plants to achieve maximum productivity....
Mak i stop here Ist.

The pay would be related to work done. It could be based per hour or fixed monthly. It all depends on the companies that are interested in the scheme and the degree of involvement of the government.

However, wages have to be fair to workers especially.

Read your comments and understand yourself

getting energy from the sun only requires equipment that can absorb solar energy.. The same with Wind energy...

The cost is nothing..

Lol. If only that was how solar power works. Have you ever wondered why it not widely adopted as you would imagine?

Solar power involves solar panels and batteries and inverters for periods when sunlight is unavailable. The efficiency of the batteries and the solar panels themselves are just some of its bottlenecks. Though there has been considerable progress in this technology the amount of electricity generated per panel is still low compared to what you will get from gas plants.

What is difficult in creating good policies that will make it thrive
Keep giving youth jobs of 30k and then employ 1000 EFCC chairmen and see whether corruption will cease

I don't see anything special in running youwin with bpo since his govt won't "eat our money"

Nope, the amount of electricity depends on the type of solar panel been used..

Nigeria needs to explore solar, wind and waste energy...

There is a company in china that sells solar panels to homes.. Some people living in rural abuja use solar panels donated to them.

There are lots of b®illiant policies and plans by government since 1960. The challenge we have is sincerity and the political will to implement them to the letter. This your idea like others is not bad but "Do we have the infrastructure"? We can't run when we are yet to walk. OÑe major Challenge those countries you meantined are facing is the problem of "cheap" labour. How do we tackle that considering how expensive commodities are in Nigeria? It is not just about "creating jobs", it is about creating job that will impact on the lives of the citizenry. The citizens ought to get value for the work they do and not the opposite.

We must and should fix relevant sectors like power, manufacturing, financial, tourism, mining, Agricultural, petroleum etc if we ever want to create a sustainable country that will be employment haven not just for our citizens alone, but will attract foreigners. Most importantly, we must fix our Educational and reposition our socio-political sectors. Without doing these things, we will continue to chase shadows.

I hope I make sense

Thank you bro

Just imagine since independent., dem de yarn jobs creation.

If de managed create jobs like 100.

60 na bluetooth and connectivity.

20 na to settle oga at the top.

is it not d same gas we flare everyday in Nigeria. Dat means we have it dirt-cheap here.

You are right about that.

nice post;

as for power; its very simple... it only need a strong willed president.

Gas that can generate 24hrs power supply for 2 times the size of Nigeria is being wasted/ flared day & night in the Niger-delta; causing pollution to the environment & diseases.

all thats is required is just to lay gas pipeline that will pass through river Niger all the way to the North; this will b supplying all the IPPs along its path and use the Escravos to Lagos to West-african countries gas pipeline too.

A strong willed leader is needed;

because the petrol & diesel importers like Otedola & co; and the dangotes (whom will want to monopolize the downstream with his 2016 refinery) plus others vested interest will want to stop these process.

Do a little reading on the web about solar power, that should suffice to give you a true picture of the challenges this form of technology faces.

Have you ever wondered why places that currently use solar power only use it for appliances that have a small load? Why do manufacturing firms not just use solar panels to power their operations?

It is a promising solution, true, but right now it isn't there yet.

Are you just waking up to Nigeria? The gas lines you talk about are already in existence but they continue to suffer repeated acts of vandalism. Suggest new methods of protecting these gas lines that haven't been used before, maybe yours will be the one that works.

Solar would have been the best if we had 24hrs of sunlight for 365days. But since that is impossible, there is the need to save power when sunlight is available and use the saved power when sunlight is unavailable, and that is where the real issue is (Inverters, batteries, e.t.c - limiting factors). This combined with the cost of installation is makes Solar Power very costly. Hence, the reason why it is used only as supplementary purposes or by coys/homes with low power consumption. One can never find a manufacturing company using solar power for the entirety its operation, but it is possible to use it as part of its operations (admin purposes).

Since the emergence of this present Democracy - Nigeria has never being in lack for ideas with sustainable value for both the social and economic spheres. what it also never lacks is the ingenuity to consistently under-utilize and mismanage the opportunities presented by such monumentally profitable ideas. NIGCOMSAT is a fraud whose clear positive intentions are continually dented by deliberate under-utilization. in 2 years both satellites will be de-orbited and we will shop for another N17.42 billion or even higher given the hard stance the US dollar has taken against the Naira. so kudos to @maclatunji

I will wait to see the communication channels they create after they get sworn-in. As ideas come they can be refined and presented if I think the process is worthwhile.

tit:
What exactly will this 2 million people be doing?
what value or service will they be adding to the economy?

Read the post b4 u comment, trying too hard to be relevant!!

While the OP's post is a laudable proposal, I think the government still needs to focus attention on Agriculture (plant and animal husbandry, agro-allied e.t.c), Mining and Manufacturing. These are the sectors that can seriously reduce unemployment. The most important thing now is to fix the issue of POWER. That is only when our productive capacity as a nation can be increased.

Gej has lay foundation of industrial park where fertilizer among other will be produced
I just hope buahri won't cancel d project
Bcuz no matter what it will cost us nw
In d near future it will bring double succour to us

where pls and what size(megawatts)

maclatunji:


I am not so convinced that both programmes are beneficial to the majority of Nigerians.

GEJ created Avenue to solve unemployment. Just couldn't harness it
Buahri needs to knw he's has a very very short time to deliver cuz expectations is at itz peak, the thirst of d populace is high and his govt needs to take on a very speedy but effective note
This is not time for him to continue with d idea of scraping everything u met on ground
U can't give graduates 30k jobs and think u have done it D resultant effect will be on corruption

You win should be considered it can be repackaged no qualms,because private remains the best channel to end unemployment because they are highly concentrated on few things unlike government. if ones villagers are nt involved with 5m grant with no fear of i must return dis money by so so time
That individual lyf will be transformed into a standard one nd he should be able to affect lives where employment of teeming youths comes in, buahri should help provide 24/7/cheap power supply this Avenue will open. Space for more to gain employment

Agriculture is a very very feasible area
GEJ has shown with a rice Mill company employing over 25000 in d North with regular and cheap power supply more will come in

Industries(manufacturing) lyk Innoson their complains has been high cost of power supply

If agriculture is developed more companies erupts, we are able to achieve our current status of rice(we nw export rice,our rice are nw parboiled in our this country thanks to our rice mills) in other major foods inflation which is nw at a digit thanks to d few we have achieved will die down + manufacturer biz growing
Employment will be real and sustainable
With inflation and real employment at bay
Nigeria will be grt
These are areas buahri should upgrade

If buahri scrap these nd fail to understand their importance.... Only God knws

I might not fully get this but my common sense tells me this as good as selling Nigeria off. In countries where this practised there are strict regulatory bodies and laws but you can imagine NCC allowing dstv and mtn misbehave
coupled with legislators who dont know their left from their right with the highest tech they ever used being an iphone.

secondly capital is sourced from outside who intrest for profit is placed before Nigeria and they are prepared to cut corner eg The chinese and lebanese

Thirdly industrial Neocolonism is encouraged because believe it or not the so called investors dont use their money they take massive loans from their various government and enact questionable MoU's to help them plunder the spoils called Nigeria

My solution is Government standing as sureties and enforcers for investors with feasible business plan and not stupendous high equity demands with a good taxation policy.

I don't think that it is a lack of knowledge or ignorance that keeps us from developing our nation economically. There have been and will continue to be many seasoned and world renown Nigerians with brilliant plans on to grow our economy. Even without that there is a plethora of knowledge on successful economic blueprints to learn and follow out there in the world. Past administrations and tenures have always sought the best brains in these matters and yet we remain where we are. Buhari's government from all indications to me will also seek the best brains and advice it can get to help build our economic policies... but like many others before it, it may well fall below expectations because of one underlying problem...

That problem lies is in the sincerity of leadership! Until the time arrives when the majority of our leaders are committed to the idea of truly serving the people, of truly adhering to the practises of real democracy and stewardship we will continue to hear of beautiful sounding plans and proposals that will ultimately fail.

People will say that this time around things will be different because we have a new party and a new man in charge but I remain skeptical. Even if Buhari is 100% honest he is surrounded by many other people who have benefited from the rot of the previous regimes and tenures. They have little or no incentive to commit themselves to honest stewardship and so will find a way to undermine whatever beautiful economic proposal that is presented so that their selfish interests are catered for. Buhari will not be the one to man every facet of government, these people will.

Yeah so I don't believe that our problem has always been one of ignorance.

In that case, monitoring systems like sensors and cameras should be installed on the lines. Also, the nscdc should be empowered, so many of them doing nothing at the office at alausa and other places. Their response and training to be swift like 911 or foreign police to crime scene. It's not rocket science.
