malton: Nice piece..... But...Nigeria needs a neutral candidate and not a dictator ... a dictator will only drive us backward...... A neutral candidate that isn't supported by any godfather like tinubu or Obj or the likes.... these ppl chose candidates and garner votes for them so they can get something in return...These godfathers often strive to make national decisions which only favor their pockets and not for the sole interest of the citizens at large... we just need to let them to chose their candidate via party/primary election.... then will look for Neutral candidate and vote for.... This way, the aspirant will be answerable to no one and can make decisions that will stand.. 1 Like |

Are Nigerians this gullible? Do you guys know what pounded yam looks like when preserved overnight? How were these foods preserved and kept in that container without spoiling,despite the length of time it takes to sail from india to nigeria? This story doesnr make sense at all. |

Until young people in this country rise up and realize the future and the country is theirs, and do not belong to those on life scholarships still messing us up, we will continue to yap yap yap! Go everywhere, the last London revolt when police shot an innocent man to death and called him a terrorist, was organized and kept alive by young people. Black lives matter is led by young people. They are waiting for Wole Soyinka to die for them or the old man teargassed in Lekki protesting "Invade Lagos" on tole road. Nigerian youths cannot wait to cross and die in the deserts and seas when they can die here honorably and change their country. Wait dia O! The fresh fish in cans caught in your waters are cooked, packaged, frozen and sent back to you stale. You buy pondo yam (yam flakes) made overseas, even Nigerians buy "wheatlet" and bring it home as garri. Nigerians refused to eat cassava bread eaten and more expensive than pure wheat bread in Caribbean and western world. Ask yourself if you have not eaten corn-beef, cornbread, baked beans and corn flakes imported into the country today. Make una dey fool unaself O! 1 Like |

malton: I can't fault your submission, but what happens when this "Strong,benevolent dictator" leaves power? Isn't there the risk that we would fall back to our old ways and ruin all the achievements this leader has left behind? Take for instance: In Lagos, opposite the National Stadium, the area was a hotbed of disorganisation. Multiple bike stands, danfos parking anywhere and turning anyhow, roadside sellers and hawkers selling their goods wherever they deemed fit....... As a result, traffic in the area was a nightmare and it was generally unsafe. Then Fashola became governor and cleared all of them out and cleaned up the place. Traffic flowed easily, the area was clean and organized and everything ran pretty good. Then Fashola left office and it seemed for the first few months of Ambode's tenure, he wasn't interested in the area or continuing what Fashola did there. Gradually, the indiscriminate parking and hawking and driving returned to the area. Fortunately, Ambode fixed the issue before it became a real problem and it's more or less back to the way Fashola left it, possibly better. Question is, what if Ambode wasn't interested in continuing Fashola's legacy in that area? It is obvious it would return to the disorganised, polluted, traffic nightmare it was. So what's the solution, if not "strong, benevolent leaders"? Strong systems! They would ensure that regardless of who is in power, things would run the way they should. The problem with Nigeria right now is that we run a weak system that doesn't punish nonperformance and idleness or disorganisation and corruption - which is why these things have become part of the system - and are strong in it. Don't assume that al the leaders we have had and currently have all came in with bad intentions. It's just that they alone couldn't change the system and even when they did, the system reverts back to the way it was before they took office. Government is like balancing a stick on a knife edge: it can easily fail if not done right. Having good people means that the stick would be balanced well as long as those people are there to balance it. Having strong systems means that regardless of who is balancing it, it would still remain balanced and, if the person isn't good enough, the person would be replaced with someone that can balance it properly. And that's where Nigeria is not getting it right. Our system is essentially flawed. It's more important to have a legislature that makes the right kind of laws and an executive that would execute said laws and mandates properly and a judicial system that interprets those laws and, of course, a system in which all three keep each other in check than to have good people in offices because it is inevitable that someone with the wrong mindset or intention would take office. But if there is a strong, proper system in place, the country would still run fine regardless. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Rockyrascal: Dead on point, Nigerians does not need democracy, autocracy with purposeful leadership is better. Those countries that are shouting human rights and rule of law were sometimes in our shoe and it wasn't Democratic system of govt that aided their developments. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Nigeria problems seems to have no end, the health hazards alone of this imported food no b here. It is at times like this I support the closing of borders and ban on imported commodities.. let's borrow a leaf from China that closed all dia borders and used dia massive population to produce commodities until they had enough for them self and sold the surplus to the rest of the world...Nigeria can do this and surpass her full potentials 1 Like |

senbonzakurakageyoshi: Good question. Succession matters. Economic and political structures will help ensure sustainability as will orientation. The key here lies in incentivizing the system to ensure compliance. A potent individual will realize that changing individual notions of what's cool will rid the system of what had seemed like perpetual noncompliance. Successive governments will strive to ensure policy consistency when they are made to see the good in it. Also, the system of reward and punishment can be put in place to achieve this. There should be checks and balances. Institutions should be put in place to check the excesses of an incumbent. In he must deviate from a certain practice, cogent reasons must be offered as to why. The penalty of deviating too much should be grave when the effects of deviation impact negatively. |
