Pastor Sam Adeyemi's Questions On The Proposed National Conference by pheesayor(m): 3:00pm On Oct 28, 2013 |
I've been reading "WHY NATIONS FAIL: THE ORIGINS OF POWER, PROSPERITY AND POVERTY" by Daron Acemoglu & James A. Robinson. They surmise that in most countries the small elite group which controls political power, uses it to control the economy to benefit themselves. Most countries that have developed did so by evolving inclusive institutions and policies that make prosperity possible for all citizens. So, citizens have control over the elite that control the economy. http://pheesayor..com/2013/10/pastor-sam-adeyemis-questions-on.html |

Good questions posed by Sam Adeyemi and i have some answers too them. No, we don't need a National conference to build roads and roads are been built though not enough and the reason government at all levels usually give is that there's not enough funds to build as much roads and infrastructure as they would like. That's why a lot of states and local governments are calling for more funds to their respective constituencies and popular wisdom have also called for the decentralization of power which will mean that states and local governments will not rely on Abuja for their daily bread. Instead, they will seeks ways to generate funds internally using their God given resources for their citizens instead of going to Abuja to get their own share of the national cake. Decentralization if one of the things that will be discussed at the National conference. |

Afam4eva: Good questions posed by Sam Adeyemi and i have some answers too them. you have spoken well, but can't we get the national assembly to do this? Having in the mind the outcome of the conference will still be passed to the Assembly? |

pheesayor:That's the only worry a lot of Nigerians have. That's the reason why most Nigerians would prefer a sovereign National conference where the outcome of the conference will be binding and won't need a vote of confidence from the legislators. |

8. Or should we encourage the conference to hold and pray that God should hijack the direction somehow? This is the only visible option as for any result coming from those career politicians...Hell NO! |
