CROWÉ: I will invade Cameroon and take the Bakassi lands, I will turn Ghana, Benin etc into Nigerian satellites and I will slaughter and barbecue South Africans for district 9, finally I will pass a law and means any woman who rejects my sexual advances will hang and any child those who accept me have win not be my responsibility, she can't even tell me she is prego >.>

On a serious not tho, anybody who writes anything worth taking seriously here will be writing for a long time. Fixing a country as broken as Nigeria is not easy and even efficient Germany has problems that will warrant more than the short crap you people are writing here. OP, Nairaland was the wrong place for this question if you are looking for the how and not the what. In a nutshell tho GEJs bullet points are correct and I will love to see how Nigeria is in 2015. I do have my hopes up. Its been 6 years since I was in a house without electricity, hopefully by the time I return next year GEJ will have shown us all he means business. Here's to never experiencing darkness again

Wallie: Taxes

17. Corporate taxes will be zero for the first 5 years for any company not in the oil sector that hires at least 100 people. For every year after that, the tax will go up 20% until reaching the normal corporate tax rate.

18. Imports of non-essential goods will attract additional import duty of 50%. Non-essentials goods include anything that is not required to sustain a life.

The two policies above will force companies to create local subsidiaries that will hire the local population.

AjanleKoko:

All the GSM operators got a 5-year tax holiday based on their pioneer status. Also, if you import a brand-new SUV for example, you pay as much as 50% duty.
If you import equipment or machinery, you don't even pay duty in some cases. For medical equipment, very low duty (in some cases, for example equipment for teaching hospitals, zero duty is charged).

Somebody here said it before, it's not only by policies. Jonathan, like others before him, is also making some good policies, some mediocre ones, and some bad ones. Nothing new.

Wallie:

Not exactly! It is true that we have some many good policies but some things need to change! For example, is it not within the boundaries of the criminal code that a convicted criminal guilty of stealing $12.6 million got a $1500 fine? If there are minimum mandatory sentencing guidelines in place then a judge cannot deviate from the guideline.

Homebaked: No Nigerian president can deliver dividends of democracy under the current dispensation. There are corrupt people everywhere who will readily sabotage government effort. If were president, I will use my commander in chief power to stage a coup backed by some very patroitic soldiers. Then dissolve the national assembly, suspend the constitution and rule by decree. I will dismantle all state government structure and revert to regions along the geopolitical zone lines.Regions will be autonomous, they shall have control of their resources and fund their police department. All persons who have ever been in a political office will be banned for life from politics. Having done these, I will ensure that teachers from primary to university level are among the highest paid while political office holders are the least. My government will embark on massive infrastructural development this will jump start the economy and get our teeming youths off the street, partner with oil companies that will build refineries here, we will export only petroleum products and not crude oil.Once all these are done, off I go into exile.

AjanleKoko: ^^^
Impossible to achieve most of this under a 'democratic' regime

Donlexino: it seems alot of guyz here dnt even av a job!

Wallie: How will you select your cabinet

19. Qualified candidates will be encouraged to apply but each of the applicants will be tested and the position will go to the person with the highest score until he/she messes up and gets fired. I will then select the next person in line. Not a single cabinet member will be selected based on tribe or religion except those that represent their tribe.

20. People in my cabinet will need to take personal responsibility for their subordinate's actions. If someone under you messes up, I'll be firing the both of you and your supervisor will get a warning. 3 warnings and the supervisor is out.

21. Every last week of the month will be devoted to cabinet members. I will need DETAILED briefing of what they did the month prior and what they're going to do for the following month. This will be matched to the plan the submitted at the beginning of the year for their department. You have to meet 80% of your objectives otherwise you're out.

22. I will create an Office of Verification and their job will be to verify EVERY single project that involves federal money. This verification will be independent of what cabinet members tell me.

Wallie: Corruption
1. Automatic 1 year jail term for every $1 million stolen. You can reduce your jail term by paying the jail term down. For example, if you return $1m you are guilty of looting, your sentence will be reduced 1/10th of 1 year. To avoid jail, you will need to pay back 10 times the stolen amount.
2. Breach of public duty not involving money will result in a punishment ranging from termination to a 3-month jail term. If it involves money, more time will be added to the 3-month. This is needed for public official that derelict their duty.
3. Former politicians will need to explain the source of their wealth otherwise they will forfeit what can’t be explained.

Taxes
4. Everybody will be issued a unique National Identity number. The number will be needed to get any service regulated by the government e.g schools, hospitals, electricity, traveling outside the country, opening a bank account, etc
5. Everybody over the age of 21 will have to file a tax return at the end of the year even if unemployed.
6. The federal tax rate will be a flat rate of 20%.
7. Every house will pay property taxes based on the size of the house and land but I would exempt rental properties of 4 or more units.
8. Every vehicle except commercial vehicles will pay road usage tax based on the size and year of the vehicle. Vehicles over 20 years will pay no taxes. Basically, my tax policy will tax the rich more because of their consumption since they buy the newer cars and live in bigger houses.

Youth Unemployment
9. Unemployed people can get up to NGN5000 for free after filing taxes.
10. The tax collecting agency will need more tax inspectors for tax auditing.
11. People will be audited randomly for paid taxes and if your lifestyle does not match your income declared on your tax return, na jail be that!
12. I will be building new prisons and they need to be staffed.

Mineral Resources
13. Mineral resources will belong to the owners of the land but will be taxed and controlled by the government.

Crude Oil Revenue
14. The current crude oil revenue sharing philosophy will be gradually phased out over 10 years and states will be encouraged to generate their own IGR. For each of the 10 years, the revenue to states will be reduced by 10% but the states can get it back by generating an equal amount of IGR.

Healthcare
15. Everybody will be encouraged to own basic healthcare insurance that will cover their basic health needs. This will be done by creating an insurance company that will insure people that filed taxes. An amount of the taxes paid will be paid into the insurance company to insure people.
16. Federally funded technology centers and incubation centers will be created and built in all universities. Their staff will be federal employees and they will be evaluated yearly based on how many successful companies students created.


I'll address the remaining points later…

Upman1: By d grace of GOD I will make Nigeria corruption free, unemployment rate reduced to an insignficant percent and also make the nation enjoy all the basic social amenities. Firstly, I will improve the security of the nation by giving adequate training to the personnels and equip them with the necessary materials. Secondly, there is going to be a registration process that is going to capture the citizens biodata, thereafter national ID is going to be issued and this would enable nigerians to have free access to medical care in government hospitals across the nation, also it is going to be used in several places like in the higher institutions for free or subsidized tuition fees and in banks as the only means of opening a bank account number. Concerning our educational system, free education will be implemented across all sectors in the country. In order to encourage so many Nigerian to be educated. The sole intention of education in Nigeria will not be for knowledge alone but action. By so doing so many researches centre will be opened across the country. In political sector, a minister of works is going to be appointed in each geo-political zone for monitoring. Many more to be done... If fate, time and chance made d president, Nigeria don better b dat, lol

Zeus I: I de laugh! Eghe...eghe.. My son Wallie, if you come into the arena of politics, these your essay or rather prints of policies will escape your greatest imagination..sleep, take good care of your self and try those things you wrote at home and your working or academic place and see how good you can be. Aremu Obasanjo sent this. Our leaders of tomorow, good luck my child.
