You had no comment on dustbin, flooding, black soot, get rich money music and churches.

Without the right mentality all these you have mentioned are just a waste.

Foreigners have no business getting free education in Nigeria.

"get rich money music"

it's having its negative effects too.

All of that is futile tho'.
Re: Nigerian Problems And Immediate Solution By Oluwaseyi Idowu by gabicon: 9:36am On Apr 02, 2019
for me the most important things that will make us become a great nation.

1) Decentralisation: we need to restructure how everything works in the country, it doesn't make sense for Abuja to be responsible for the road on my street, it doesn't make sense for Rivers to generate electricity and send it to Kano, it doesn't make sense for Abuja to control the security in my local community. We need several forms of autonomy.

2) strengthing the criminal justice system: we need to ensure that there are consequences for action and adherence to rules and regulations, if this cant be achieved then we are not ready.

3) strengthing institutions: we need to ensure that our ministries departments and agencies have a clear vision and outlined goals of what we intend to achieve on the short, mid, and long term. we need to ensure that multinationals do not take our brightest and best to work for them, and we need to ensure that the MDA's attract talent.

4)selecting true leaders at the political party levels: In Nigeria, the elections are already rigged before we go to the pools, the political parties produce terrible candidates that we have to accept. we will require parties with clear cut ideology.

I believe solving these 4 problems will open the doors to solving problems like education, economy, infrastructure, employment etc.

Nigeria problems and its solution.

Written by Oluwaseyi Idowu

Boko Haram
Turn Sambisa Forest to a Game reserve with wild animals with high venom lethal rates suitable for that type of climate.

Herdsmen
Restrict their movement per state and let government through the ministry of Agric be the middle men regulating their sales as well as movements.

Power
Let each State Generate, Sell and manage their own power while the Nerc regulates the power sector.
Give 6 month ultimatum to each state and federal government should provide for each state 50% of the power generation fee and regulate the spending.. the fee should be as a form of bailout and federal government should deduct from monthly allocation.

Roads
Make arrangement with International construction companies to make the road and complete within 6 months then they can make toll points and collect tolls for 10 years on those roads. No two roads should be awarded to a single construction company. There are more construction companies abroad than roads in Nigeria.

Job opportunities
First government should make company registration free in Nigeria.

All companies ready to establish is Nigeria should have 10 years company tax waived on grounds that 65% of staffs are Nigerians.(25% management staff must be Nigerians and 10% executive management staff must be from that local government)

If u establish a company in Nigeria or bring in above 10,000USD into the country legally for business, foreigners should be given Visa waivers for their family.

Villages and countryside should be opened up for factories, power plant, troops points and weapon testing sites to enhance security.

Economic restrictions such as daily fund spend limit should be reviewed upwardly.

Food products and drugs should be duty free. Car duty should be less than 5% (government can go ahead and impose higher taxes on engine oils, vehicle registration, car use charges etc

Government should make export totally free and then a 5%-15% charges on all cash inflow from abroad..


Education

Make tetfund more robust.
Make tertiary Education free but charge like 8000 for Jamb and like 5000 for Neco.
[ ] Reduce admission quota for federal Tertiary institutions for adequate trainings and also federal tertiary education becomes only for the best of the best.
[ ] Make Tertiary workers have good pay with robust allowances then go and charge high rates of taxes and federation returns.
[ ] Make Primary education compulsory for every child.
Let education be tuition free also for foreigners.. and please let's give them admission enmasse.. they will pay Visa fees, flights to Nigeria and ofcourse get accommodation. Which brings more money to Nigeria in form of foreign exchange.


Welfare
Enforce compensation for communities where environmental hazards from companies affect them.
Staff welfare matters.
Employ a special adviser on citizens welfare.
Let that person visit everywhere there is a problem in Nigeria and convey the message of Nigeria to the citizens affected.
Let that person show affection and show love.
Let Nigerians feel loved.


Salaries

Increase federal minimum wage to 150k.
Increase allowances to about 75k.

So each Nigerian takes about 225k home monthly.
We will get it back in tax.

Petroleum resources.
First, pay a monthly compensation to communities where oil is explored.
Say 0.5% of total amount accrued.
Give that money to traditional institutions and ward heads. Let the RMFAC monitor its spending.

Reduce fuel pump price to 15 per litre provided you can do a prepaid buying of 10000 per year. Or 75 per litre for small amounts.

That way federal government has generated money ahead.. then Impose Car use charge, generator Use charge and Ecosystem protection use charge for every household. Government makes more money for economic development and even households who normally dont buy fuel will pay for the fuels.

Let kerosene be subsidized while Stoves are banned, fire wood banned..based on health grounds.
Then there will be a charge on Use of LPG for cooking monthly. Safety agents are employed thereby generating employments.

That way, even feeding will generate money for government to cover many other loopholes..


Foreign affairs

Nigerian visas should cost about 400$ but all visas should be Electronic.
All visas should be instantly issued but immigration officers should decide if a traveller is fit to enter the country.

Nigeria should begin to advertise all over the world why people should come and invest in Nigeria.

Nigeria should partner with countries like China to build more airport terminals and allow them to maintain and manage the airports at 95%-1% profit sharing for 10 years and then transfer to to Nigeria.
Every state must have an airport by this arrangement.

Nigeria should struggle(bribe, influence) to host many international stuffs.. conferences, symposium, workshops, tournaments, games etc.

Nigeria should start acting as a mediator for peace and global sanity( to bring Nigeria) to limelight.
Host Kim and Trump summit..

President(or a designate) should visit
Israel, Pakistan,Palestine,north Korea, Cambodia, South Korea and start begging about for world peace.. people would begin to see Nigeria in Good light.
Beg the media to stop shouting about scammers and Yahoo Yahoo to stop tainting our image.
Let efcc face internal affairs only..
Change the face of our foreign affairs.. modernise things. Let everyone who applies Nigerian Visa get it.. but ofcourse at about 400$.
Showcase our tourist attractions on international media.

Let people be able to buy Nigerian citizenship for say 30000USD.
Go to countries and negotiate for Visa free for Nigerian citizens.. on very minimal but stringent conditions.. countries like Japan, Korea, Australia and other far distant countries with high flight fees.. we should also grant their citizens Visa free..


Police affairs

Seriously face this.
Cancel SARS.
Cancel Anti Kidnapping. Draft this to NsCDC.

Let police be sane.
Sack police officers with shabby uniforms.
Sack police officers who are not polite.
In court, before any trial, let test for police sanity be first tested before commencement of trial.
Do massive police retrenchment. Ensure that small amounts of offences by the police is matched with prison terms. Let police be more upright.
Let police training schools be degree awarding.
Remove police from stop and search. Make them an observatory agency for a while. Like 10 months.. we wont die..

Enforce height, education and other qualifications for the police force.
Move them to be under the Judiciary.

Police should stop settling disputes. There is an alternative dispute resolution.

Debt settlement should strictly be for the courts.
Give police good vehicles, various categories.. showed,patrol vehicles etc. Let police be able to impose fines on pardonable behaviours. Let FIRS collect all the fines..


Para military

Immigration be banned from Handling money at their points.. airports and seaports or border posts.
They should be empowered to determine exit and entry at our points of Entry or exit.
Immigration plays an important role in this government plan.
Increase their salary and give overtime bonuses.
Government should deploy them to our vast borders. And decongest the offices. Nigerian passports should be applied online, decided and issued all without face to face meeting. Courier services should deliver the passports.

Customs should be moved from ministry of finance to Ministry of trade and Investment. They should be orientated to know that they are not to seize things and auction, but to ensure good trading and business atmosphere in Nigeria.
They should be polite and ensure they are on the borders. Its not right to find them outside of the border posts.
They should be neat, polite and must not be drunks or drug users.
All must be certified fit medically with at least 15 years drug fee life including use of alcohol.
They must ensure trade goes well in Nigeria.

Nigeria port health services
These people must be either nurses, doctors or holders of a degree in Public health only. All others already there must train new staffs and they themselves be transferred to other outposts of the fed ministry of health.
They must ensure no strange illnesses are brought here.

Nigerian Quarantine services.
These ones just currently collect salaries.
If they arrest foreign goat, I learnt near badagry west.. that link bridge, they will just roast the animal and chop..

I currently think they should just be scrapped and merged with the dept of foresty and wildlife management of the ministry of agric.

Tourism and arts.
Let the nation organise and start a film festival, as Nirth Korea bad reach, people who visit the country go there because of their film festival.. with that stuff, we can portray a good Nigeria and make people see the rights in our life too..
Nigeria will generate a lot of money from Visa fees.. let the nation even make a special Visa for the festival.. at say cheaper like Russia did for the world cup..

Let Nigeria show the world its beauties.. show them obudu ranch, tinapa, agbuike cave, zaria walls, mambilla, owu falls, gossy spring, idanre hill, olumo etc..

All first 20 seconds daily should be free also to all local numbers.
Data should be 150 for 1gb.
SIM reg should be matched with BVN.
Call drops should be sanctioned by NCC that service providers pay 5000NGN per call drop.

All Nigerians must possess a bank account for social services. Every Nigerian who has a BVN must have an ATM card. ATM withdrawal on a savings account should be limited to 5000 NGN per day or a fine of 50 nGN per extra 100 withdrawn over 5000NGN.

Government should make alert in Nigeria free.
Every Nigerian who has transacted above a 100000 monthly should be charged 1000 the next month as sundry charge.

Postal services.
Add money transfers to post offices.
Design a plan that makes money orders better than cash and cheques. Like let money orders clear instantly in banks.
Make local posting in Nigeria free.
Ensure post office staffs are more polite and more up to date.

Trade and Investment.
Ask Toyota, Honda, GMC, Mercedes Benz to come to Nigeria for business.
Put Them in states with dull economies
Toyota= Katsina
Honda=Kogi
Mercedes benz= Kwara
GMC= Nasarawa etc

That way, they will employ people.. give them a business friendly environment.. zero taxes on exports with agreement that they employ Nigerians at least 45% and must pay the minimum wage.

The country will continue to rot unless the citizens can diagnose the illness they have - it is not this rubbish at all.

Start from grassroots then work your way up, attitude of the citizens can fix those things but they must have the right mentality.

THE PROBLEM OF NIGERIA LAY SQUARELY AT THE FEET OF THE CITIZENS.

-Produce the correct number of children your income can sustain.
-Stop relying on juju, religion and 419 religious criminals to resolve your immediate and national issues - use that time and money to innovate.
-Create a ministry of commonsense to educate Nigerians, illiterate and semi-literate (Nigeria has less than 10% educated-literate population)
-Citizen mentality must change on politicians and how hey deal with foreigners who are there to exploit and abuse them.

That way, even feeding will generate money for government to cover many other loopholes..


Foreign affairs

Nigerian visas should cost about 400$ but all visas should be Electronic.
All visas should be instantly issued but immigration officers should decide if a traveller is fit to enter the country.

Nigeria should begin to advertise all over the world why people should come and invest in Nigeria.

Nigeria should partner with countries like China to build more airport terminals and allow them to maintain and manage the airports at 95%-1% profit sharing for 10 years and then transfer to to Nigeria.
Every state must have an airport by this arrangement.

Nigeria should struggle(bribe, influence) to host many international stuffs.. conferences, symposium, workshops, tournaments, games etc.

Nigeria should start acting as a mediator for peace and global sanity( to bring Nigeria) to limelight.
Host Kim and Trump summit..

President(or a designate) should visit
Israel, Pakistan,Palestine,north Korea, Cambodia, South Korea and start begging about for world peace.. people would begin to see Nigeria in Good light.

They should be empowered to determine exit and entry at our points of Entry or exit.
Immigration plays an important role in this government plan.
Increase their salary and give overtime bonuses.
Government should deploy them to our vast borders. And decongest the offices. Nigerian passports should be applied online, decided and issued all without face to face meeting. Courier services should deliver the passports.

Customs should be moved from ministry of finance to Ministry of trade and Investment. They should be orientated to know that they are not to seize things and auction, but to ensure good trading and business atmosphere in Nigeria.

If they arrest foreign goat, I learnt near badagry west.. that link bridge, they will just roast the animal and chop..

I currently think they should just be scrapped and merged with the dept of foresty and wildlife management of the ministry of agric.

Tourism and arts.
Let the nation organise and start a film festival, as Nirth Korea bad reach, people who visit the country go there because of their film festival.. with that stuff, we can portray a good Nigeria and make people see the rights in our life too..
Nigeria will generate a lot of money from Visa fees.. let the nation even make a special Visa for the festival.. at say cheaper like Russia did for the world cup..

Ambulances are also to have their sirens off in the hospitals.
Horns are banned in Nigerian hospitals.


This is my submission


How do we fund all this when our federal revenue is.less than 7 trillion naira.

Education is the first priority and our education system is in shambles we don't create anything but to consume.

Human capital development is the major key to develop a country . Even if you have a lot of natural resources it can be squandered just like what happen to naija, congo and the rest of Africa.

Most naija go to South Africa, Ghana , Dubai , UK, Canada , us for vacation by doing all these we are taking money away from the country .

A lots of problem in the country and it takes decades of planning and dedication .

Despite being impressive, these ideas will result into further degradation of the economy. To be honest, many of your propositions are unrealistic. If we're to go ahead with, even, 30% of your posted ideas the level of hardship amongst the populace will rise to unprecedented levels. You are basically suggesting we hand our country over to foreign investors.

For instance, you suggested bringing in the Chinese to construct airports for us, and as a way of repaying the ensuing debt, we lease it out to them outright for a ten solid years. First, do you know what it cost to build a world standard airport like the Heathrows? Given the current revenue generated by our busiest airports, are you sure we'd be able to cover the spread in ten years? So, if we're unable to cover the spread what happens after?

Again, the minimum wage you proposed is beautiful but unrealistic too. Where would you get the money to finance that kind of minimum wage in a nation of over 150million people? Do you realize that with our current national earnings anything beyond N50k as MW would send our capital expenditure to zero? Even if the economy grows by 100% in the next 10 years we still will not be able to finance any MW that exceeds N70k. Sorry.

You seem to have thrown the main issues aside. Any change that doesn't deal with fundamentals will fail eventually. Our constitution is part of the fundamentals. That document should be the first port of call when effecting any meaningful change. The current one is anti-progress and serves only but a few. It is not a nationalistic constitution and as such it will make nonsense of any meaningful development we experience. We need a well thought out and patriotic legal document that will hold firm any effort we make to make progress or else, we'd simply be building castles in the sand.

Secondly, we must fight corruption to the barest minimum. Every single proposition you made up there will face a massive challenge when it comes face to face with the monster called corruption. We can't make progress when 70% of funds meant for a cause will be diverted to other cause outside its original cause. I'm amazed that the average Nigerian does not appreciate the level of hurt that corruption does to this nation. What's the use of pouring out money into sector after sector when the official who's supposed to monitor and enforce policy and ensure judicious use of funds would be the one to embezzle the said funds? Who's going to monitor the monitor? We must constitutionally kill corruption if we want any progress. Until we get to that point where a public official would be afraid to even think about embezzling a kobo in office, we've really not done much, I'm sorry. Do you know how much progress we would have made if our public officers were sincere with managing our finance even with our 'meagre' earnings currently?

We must take power off the exclusive list. That's the first place to start in any matter that concerns power improvements.

How about Kidnapping, Ritual Killing and Yahoo-Yahoo? its easier said than done my brother.
The best solution is to make politics less attractive, politician salaries should be on the same scale as that of level 15 local government workers.

Another solution is for every individuals contesting for any particular position to be tasked with the responsibility of making our system work again.
Give us good roads, make our transportation system functional I.e rail,sea,road and air.
Give us electricity, Build our schools and Let there be security of lives and properties.

Government don't have to create employment opportunities, ones the above have been put in place, citizens will create jobs and foreign investors will all come around and our economy will automatically grow.

What you've posted is just papering over the cracks....they're just cosmetic solutions that have nothing to stand on and wouldn't last! The problems you're hoping your suggestions would solve are symptoms of a more endemic and fundamental problem facing Nigeria which you artfully swerved past.

Any solution to Nigerias' problems that doesn't have at its root the complete and total overhaul of its present structure and political economy....reversing back to pre-1966 settings (of course with modifications to reflect present day realities), such a solution is bound to fail!

You are right
Nigeria has a foundational problem
Restructuring remains the most viable solution to Nigeria's problem.
Each regions should exploit its territorial endowment and develop at its own pace. Just imagine if Delta a coastal state should have its functional seaport. That wi catalyse lots of economic activities and will lead to the establishment of many Smes which will lead to creation of many job opportunities.

Not good enough, too complicated, will be difficult to enforce.and won't change anything.

Here are the simple ones as done all over the world that can bring about needed competition to grow the economy among states/regions, provide security of lives and properties and create jobs for the people.

1. Let the states manage their resources and affairs and give 5% of their taxes to the federal government with every state/region fully represented.

2. Let police and military serve in their home local govt and watch armed robbery reduced to the kind they have in Ghana and Zambia where they break in your house when not home to steal used toothpaste and few cups of cornmeal. There's a reason why crimes used to be high in police and soldier barracks areas in Yorubaland, strangers filled up the barracks. Any serious country with safety in mind won't allow total strangers to police anywhere. Any state region/state that allows it's own to be hijacked by the politicians will have its people to explain to, so the argument that the governors will use them as pawns is nonsense, there will be a governing body the police will directly answer to, and not the governor. Above all, it will be a local problem with someone to hold to account.

3. Let the federal govt hands-off state/regions affairs and responsibilities, education, court system healthcare, business licenses and others should be returned to state/region.

Nigeria won't do any of these willingly cos of those reaping where they did not sew, so it will take war and no one will fight a war and then remain in the same country after deaths of many. The best thing is for Nigeria to break, it's not serving any purpose at the moment, but some are still deceiving themselves

Nigeria is broken and it needs to be overhauled. Nothing is working in Nigeria all we have on is a bandaid.

Exactly, no country has the nature of Nigeria with this type of political and economic structure.. Nigeria wont make any progress.. Sadly, the political and elite class know this but they are earning fat by the current faulty structures. They are not willing to give up their earnings.

That is the mindset of a black man, a black man doesnt want to die for any course, especially, the Nigerian version of black man, that is the worse version ever. lol

As it stands, the masses are foolish enough to praise sing the politicians becus of ethnic affiliation..
