Then make government reduce tax,reduce fuel,give us light,reduce food price and we are good

OgundeleTeju:
So many people are ignorant of this,all they are after is govt should provide everything for them even if possible provide their undies,

You are very ignorant of knowing that the govt suppose to provide basic stuffs that other govt of developed/developing countries provide...how many basic things has the govt provided for you to asslick them like this...better deliver yourself from mental slavery

Government should provide good electricity, security and good road then the citizens can take up from there

Then why are you taxing the people? If you can’t provide everything, (I don’t understand the context everything is being used for) then resign honorably and hand over to more competent hands that can provide proper security and freedom from religious & ethnic champions!

Nigerians are not even asking for much in the first place, they just want to have food on their tables and be at peace with each other at the end of the day. Is that too much to ask?

But politicians can steal as they like from the people

Definitely

Who is a leader?

A leader is someone who can see how things can be improved and who rallies people to move towards that better vision.

Examples of a leader

You are a leader if you fall into any of the following categories:

*Concerned individual
*Family head
*Group head
*Politician
*Philanthropist
*Society / community head
*Pastor
*Imam
*Students govt / class / department representative
*Organization head
*Cooperative executive head
*Market / Trade Union head
*NUT leader

Our Challenges

* Nigeria's unemployment rate came in at 27.1% in the second quarter of 2020.
* It is believed that one in every two Nigerians in the country's labour force is either unemployed or underemployed.
* With a labour force of 80.2million, that means not less than 21.7million Nigerians are unemployed, it is now estimated to be higher as we speak.
* Nigeria poverty rate as at September 2020 is estimated to be around 40.1 percent according to statista.com
This means more than 82 million Nigerians now lives on less than one dollar per day, according to National Bureau of Statistics.

Aren't this statistics worrisome?

Let's not just be complaining about the menace ravaging the society, we can do something about it. Blame games can't take us anywhere, the time to act is now.

There is a link between poverty, unemployment and insecurity in our country. Is this how we will all fold our hands and watch as things fall apart when we all have a role we can play to make things better.

Think about it, may be you are in your comfort zone and think you are not bothered by all the negative news on the daily basis. You may believe you and your family is secured and need not worry about this three monsters: unemployment, poverty and insecurity.

As we are all praying for God's provision and protection, we also need to take care of those who are affected by this menace among us because if we fail to act now, they may become a threat to our lives any time soon.

As a concerned individual and leader in your own capacity, why not invite us to your subjects and let's organize a free seminar on the various skills we have highlighted in my other thread on Nairaland ( find link below).

Let's empower people around us and let's kick unemployment, poverty and insecurity out of Nigeria.

Check my other thread for details on the skills people can acquire and how you can play a role to influence positive change in the lives of people in your neighborhood.

okefranci:

Your comment has no substantial proof so go and sit down

SHUT UP!!!

Are you mad?, So after collecting tax, both federal and state you will expect the masses to do donations to support the government. Infact you are mad. Tinubu alone has stolen enough wealth that could develop all the roads in lagos, same with that thieve called theodore orji.

demonic pastor why then are you people making policies that cripple businesses?

APC Sympathizer!

Blackmoran:
The job of the government is to create a enable eviroment and flexible atmosphere for business and industries to flourish.
Have they done that the answer is capital NO!
No regular power supply, bad infrastructure, and a fluctuating economy that you can't risk even if you want to invest
And lastly the major no 1 important task of any government is security which this government has failed woefully...
In conclusion the government should shut up and do the needfull and stop giving excuses..

you forget their policy

WHAT I NOTICED WHEN I OPENED THIS THREAD:

THE FIRST SET OF MONIKERS THAT COMMENTED ARE OPERATED BY SAME PERSON
THESE ARE THE PAID AGENTS WE HAVE ON THIS FORUM.

Which Mora fvcker is saying this shiit? With all the money entering government pockets, they can even meet both the spiritual and financial needs including physical needs of the whole citizens.

TheRareGem1:
No government anywhere in the world can make provision for every need of every citizen in the country, the govt can only try her best & perform optimally in this regard & we need to seek private sector to work with the govt interm of nation building; this is what can guarantee our prosperity

But d one that govt is supposed to provide, are they providing?

Excuses from same govt that closed borders and made it hard for businesses to thrive, how about the jobs they promised to citizens while campaigning, APC na real 419

No be lies...





Especially a government as clueless as Buhari's government

Bia! Let d govt reduce petrol price,food,stop all these useless tax and pipu will REJOICE

OgundeleTeju:
So many people are ignorant of this,all they are after is govt should provide everything for them even if possible provide their undies,

Our government should also make the country better with good economic policies so that we will not depend on them

OgundeleTeju:

So what exactly is this govt providing?

Thunder1010:
In as much a father can not provide everything needed by his family as small it could be, No government can provide everything needed by the citizens. The efforts of individuals and private organizations has a long way in moving this nation for, and sustain our economy.

So d father will now call on people to come & take care of his children for him. But when buhari wanted to go to London for medical treatment, govt was able to provide

The Question that needs to be asked is

The houses Nigerians are living is provided by who?

The borehole in the compound of that same house is provided by who?

Do you have at least one electricity generator in that same compound? Who provides it?

How many days of the week for you get to board a Federal GOVERNMENT provide transportation means weekly for free?



How many neighbourhood Police Force is attached to your community not to talk of your own street?

The security or night watch in your Community/street is paid and provide by who?

The schools provided by the government are they up to standard required for a Nigerian to be well educated?

The Money spent on health care and medical bills is paid by who?


The REALITY on ground is that Nigerians are already HELPING the Government but the Government don't appreciate the help neither do they know they are being helped.

Perhaps looking for excuse that is inadmissible.

https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2020/12/20/osinbajo-govt-alone-cant-provide-peoples-economic-needs/

Government alone can’t be collecting cash from the natural resources located in people’s areas to Abuja, but give the people pittance in return.

You're an idiot sir.

Nigerians are industrious. We set up businesses, employ people to help their lives but government come back to frustrate us.

God punish you, buhari, and your fucking families

okefranci:
Yes we should all know that government can't provide all what we need to sustain but rather help ourselves by engaging in things that can improve our living.

So which ones can govt provide & which should help themselves to provide? If d people are supposed to help themselves, what's d use of paying taxes?

ngoremeka:
Our government should also make the country better with good economic policies so that we will not depend on them

There's nowhere in d world where citizens aren't supposed to depend on govt

OgundeleTeju:

You are the ignorant one, the government of the western world are fools ? China are fools, common brainwashed individuals, the basic right of every government haven’t even been met, ELECTRICITY, GOOD ROADS, ENABLING ENVIRONMENT FOR POTENTIAL INVESTORS, you never travel na why, public hospital in the uk is finer and efficient than Nigeria first class private hospitals, who built the hospital?? The roads who will build it, security, daft and dumb followers who can’t think out of the box.

Joyce95:
So many of us are complaining of this government that they active to work, let you that with the hard work of this administration will most sure get the top

Y has d work of this administration not gotten to d top all this while?

We all know that,but the policies of the government really goes a long way to affect the lives of many. A government that continue to set aside bad policies will always come out to say what you just said Mr vice president.

Naturopathic:
The task is not for the government alone, but also that of every citizen in the country, to contribute in achieving our dream

D taxes d citizens have paid is for what?
