FOR THOSE NIGERIANS WHO THINK THAT CRUDE OIL IS ALL THERE IS FOR A COUNTRY TO SUCCEED.

How countries solve their problems: Between Nigeria and Malaysia

I count the Malaysians among the most reasonable and practical people on earth.

Why?

When they noticed that the Singaporeans were creating problems for them in the former Malaysia, on August 9, 1965 they convened the parliament and excluded the Singaporeans. (The State of Singapore was only one out of the 14 states in Malaysia then). The Malaysians knew they had the majority. The parliamentarians locked the doors of the parliament and tabled a motion: to expel State of Singapore from Malaysia.

Fiam! All the 126 parliamentarians voted in favour of the motion, and Singapore was expelled from the Malaysia.

One thing that had been the source of conflict between the two sides was what we call quota system in Nigeria. Malaysia wanted quota system for the Malays but Singapore wanted merit to be applied across board. There was no agreement between the two sides.

See this: "The Federal Government of Malaysia, dominated by the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), was concerned that as long as Singapore remained in the Federation, the bumiputera policy of affirmative action for Malays and the indigenous population would be undermined and therefore run counter to its agenda of addressing economic disparities between racial groups."

Singapore was also not happy with the recognition of Islam as the official religion.

The 1964 race riots claimed lives and showed how divided the country was.

With the expulsion, the Singaporeans left Malaysia in sadness, becoming the only country in modern history to gain full independence against its will. Singapore was a tiny, resource-poor island.

However, they began to implement all those lofty ideals of merit, justice, national integration and zero-tolerance for segregation and religious extremism they had been preaching as well as adopting free-trade and business-friendly policies.

Expectedly, Singapore began to grow speedily. Today from being a third-world, tiny and poor country, Singapore is usually rated among the top 3 in the world in all human development indices.

Singapore has a population of 5.9 million. Because of how tiny Singapore is, it has been embarking on land reclamation to expand its land mass. The land mass of Singapore has grown to 728 square kilometres - about the same size as Lekki peninsula in Lagos State - compared to Malaysia with 329,613 square kilometres.

In Singapore, 18.7% are Christian, 14% are Muslim,11% are Taoist, 5% are Hindu, 0.6% practise Sikhism or another religion, while 17.5% of people have no religion at all.

So what happened to Malaysia? It has peace because it no longer has the "troublesome" Singaporeans to contend with. Malaysia has not risen to the height attained by Singapore, but it is not doing badly economically.

"Malaysia is a multicultural and multiconfessional country, whose official religion is Islam. As of the 2010 Population and Housing Census, 61.3 percent of the population practise Islam; 19.8 percent Buddhism; 9.2 percent Christianity; 6.3 percent Hinduism; and 3.4 percent traditional Chinese religions."

The population of Malaysia is 32.3 million.

Singapore is in peace and progress. Malaysia is in peace and progress. Both are good neighbours.

Writing about its relations with Malaysia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Singapore says:

"Singapore and Malaysia have a long-standing, broad and multifaceted relationship. Bilateral trade, investment, and tourism ties are robust. There are regular high-level exchanges such as the Leaders' Retreat, Joint Ministerial Committee (JMC) meetings on Iskandar Malaysia, and Ministerial level visits."

Why was peace and progress achieved in the old Malaysia? Because Malaysia was sensible to realize that being in the same country with Singapore would perennially bring conflicts, deaths and backwardness, as they were ideologically, religiously, economically, and racially opposed to each other and would never agree.

There is one country called Nigeria that does not understand this basic human principle. If a group of people like the Igbos are "difficult creatures" and a source of perennial headache to you, expel them legally and peacefully. You will have your peace and they will have their peace. You will achieve progress and happiness once you have peace.

But Nigeria is a country that is hard to understand: a country that constitutionally divides its citizens based on their ethnicity and religion and still insists that the unity of the country is non-negotiable! �

Now that other countries are diverting away from crude oil dependency Shouldn't this be the time Nigerian economy begins to boom since it has always been heavily dependant on crude oil?? Wishful thinking Because hell no! the Otedolas and A.A Ranos never allowed Oil refineries to be built or function here safe to say the feared it would affect their exporting setups and huge pay checks

Jestin:
I know the VP will never say that . Ogbonnaya Should be held responsible for that statement

i swear, that man says things out of context.

Diversification of the economy at work here. Which is very important for the growth and sustainability of the economy.

This kain news no dey blow... Kudos to the President and VP Osinbajo

Don't belive him, I can swear he was reading from the speech written by his assistant.

Hmmmm
He quickly forgot to tell us what they're exporting apart from oil...

Nah wettin them tell you Mr Oga

Yes and that's why we need not depend too much on oil ,we should divert it to agriculture as well

Leverage2021:
Ok can you list some of the things you guys are now exporting?

The Naira that is crashing is actually saying otherwise because exports boost currency

what he means indirectly is that the money getting from oil has dropped down

Such as banditry and bokoharamism.

Even Liar Mohammed won't tell this kind of lies.

Vague statement with no figure given.... Im beginning to worry about osibanjo as he's been sounding clueless more than ever.

inoki247:
ok na u talk am now say we dey mak more money from Non oil export buh wen oil carry reverse go $10 per barrel now u people will find anoda excuse...

I really wondering if we can trust osinbajo to say the truth and not tell Nigerians white and even black lies.

Good, now we can cry, "our fintech" , "our state capital, "our mathematicians", "our Inoson", "our Proforce", "our Programmers", "our cultures for tourism" , "our farmers" and not just "OUR OIL!!!"

oh yes, "Our rich people with their investable wealth!" instead of allowing our crafty and sneaky neighbors that are invading Nigeria media spaces trying to make Nigerians hate and envy their wealthy people so that those wealthy people would be driven from Nigeria to go and invest with them.

Isoryt, when petroleum premium cutting voce betweens wall

That's blatant lie

The government should put more effort on boosting our local products that satisfy the Nigerians and export to other countries.

Of course!
Those BORROW BORROW funds are non oil re(daft) venue!

There are still plenty of untapped resources deposited everywhere that the country can generate even more revenue from.
The needful has to be done in terms of granting States rights of control and ownership of their natural resources, while an appreciable size of allocation from the proceeds goes to the FG.

That's blatant lie

He meant the gbese (borrowed) fund lol.
