The Problems Of Our Country And Way Forward by Aruksman: 12:40am On Jan 30, 2018
Nigeria is a country blessed with both intellectuals and resources which if properly manage will make us self reliant and reduce our poorverty level but yet we are still where we are why.
The problems can be grouped into 5 namely :
Blame game
No savings
Poor police or good policies and poor implementation
Poor fellowership
Monetization of our politics:

(1) Blame game: every government has pushed all the problems of the country to the past administration, the obasanjo administration blamed it on the military government and the Jonathan administration blamed it on obasanjo administration and now buhari administration is blaming the Jonathan government.
But one thing is that during their different campaign they knew the problems and promised to fix them all.
A man who accepts his faults is den willing to correct them so until we accept the faults and stop pushing them to others we can never progress

(2)No savings: our constitution says all revenues should be shared between the federal, state and local govt, thereby keeping nothing for our future. And that why there is corruption because if we had a law that say we must save 20% of our revenues then our leaders will have little or nothing to steal. Furthermore our leaders have personal business which savings are compulsory . Savings is compulsory for any firm or nation for economic national security.
When we had recession if we had savings such would have been put into the system to help reduce the impact of recession. Ask why is China now a world power it's obvious there savings.
So until we save we can never prosper. Our leaders in there personal business do save such as our former vice president company Intel's, president Obasanjo It's farm also save alot so why cant our nation save.

(3) Poor policies or poor implementation : it seem most policies in this country are meant to satisfy some people's Interest or most times its poor implementation just like when the current administration came it's policy on forex was completely wrong, it was like you denying a sick child drugs, an economy which was down was denied forex which was what it needed.
Or what about the TSA a nice policy but was implemented at the wrong time should have been done in batches because many workers lost there jobs in the bank and the bureaucracy in getting funds wasn't favourable for a nation in recession then. So as a country we must check the advantage and disadvantages of a policy before implementation.

(4) poor fellowership: yes we owe our leaders the responsibility of telling them the truth I see governors who shared jerrycan and truck to its people and claiming World Bank water project getting endorsement in one of the states in the north. We should be able to tell our the leaders the truth and chase out those who are not performing with our PVC during the elections.
We forget that a man who during his first tenure did nothing but a year to his elections that working will stop working once his reflected. We should learn to vote according to the candidates and not party because the man you elected will be the one to rule over you and not party, he might even defect to another if the party disturbs him much, so remember the party is the vehicle while the candidates is the driver and we the masses are the passenger so we need a good driver to take us to our destination.


(5) We have monetised our politics : imagine when someone invest about 600million to become a governor so what do you expect he does once he wins the election, will be to recover his money with interest so we should reduce the cost our politicians spend during elections by rejecting there money and voting for them based on conviction that he is the best candidate..
Thanks slot as all parties put effort to rescue our country
God bless Nigeria
