I dont think Govtt need to hands off every businesses. It's not even possible to do that.

What need to change is the attitude of those employed to work, they should do their work. I will always say that whoever work for the government is responsible for how the government turns out to be. It is everyday citizens that run the various sector and if they do their job as they should, we wont be having this causes.

Why system works in the saner climes is because people do their job. It is people that make up a system that function well.

If we privatize everything, you will leave the poor of the poor in the hands of greedy capitalist who are only after maximizing profits. It's the same problem that US health care system is having while the UK system that's run by the govt is so much better.

Maybe if government puts enough checks and balances in place in some of those government owned agencies and ministries, maybe things will change for better .

A case study is the Lagos state education sector . I attended a public secondary school back then and I remember how our teachers were notorious for missing classes ; most of the female amongst them have shops where they sell different wares , some of them are into supply business like egg distribution , etc . The men amongst them form partnership where they pull resources together to own private schools and tutorial centres ; some even engage in thrift collection ( Ajo)

These teachers who are full time civil servants mostly breeze into the school in the morning to sign attendance registers and then head out for their respective aforementioned side hustle , leaving their primary duty of teaching us to suffer . Many atimes we lose alot of teaching hours to these teachers not showing up. The one’s who come for class while leaving the class will pick some of the students to follow them to the staff room to help them with domestic chores like breaking melon( egusi) …. Yes these teachers bring egusi to school for students to help them break . All of these and more happened back then .

In recent years I discussed with a relative who works with TESCOM and I was told all those things are now a thing of the past courtesy of Sarah Sosan taking charge of the ministry when she was Fashola’s deputy governor . They put a lot of checks in place like constant unscheduled visit of education inspectors to schools , instant dismissal of erring Teachers and Also making sure the teachers had a conducive working environment . Principals were sanctioned for any report by a student or parent to the ministry that any school headed by such principal requests for any levy or fee cos Lagos runs free education and the schools get adequate allocation from the government for monthly running costs .

Personally I believe humans most times do not always wish to act right except they are forced to. If u put in place a system that identifies and punishes recalcitrant civil servants , then u will witness some of these civil servants adjust well .

This club is so irresponsible lately
Is this what the club needs and lack?

70m for a player in the ranks of Timori and co.
That means James reece na 210m starting price.

Honestly Chelsea shouldn’t have sold Tomori ; buying this overpriced Fofana now wouldn’t have been necessary

Jodera:
it means Xhaka will be the one in the base. Omo, make this guy no collect another red card oo.

If dem press Xhaka ehh....

Na wetin I dey talk be this . I’m more concerned about Xhaka than Lokonga in that kinda role ; Xhaka will just throw his legs flying at anybody’s shin or ankle and then collect red card …. And dem go share grace

izzou:
[color=royalblue]But would we really say "Government" in general, or the FG?

Because for example, Lagos state runs some sectors perfectly well. That's Government too. I wouldn't know if corruption is rampant, but the services are very okay...Example was when I visited LASUTH. Transport is another example too

So why is the case different with the FG?[/color]

Of a truth LASUTH is well equipped (compared to other Government owned health institutions in the country ) , Lagos state government pumps in money for its running and maintenance , but sadly the staff there are typical Nigerian civil servants . I wouldn’t want to relive my experience there last year when I had course to take a family member there at different times .

Mehn! To even get ur card from the records department u have to get there as early as possible and use the Nigerian way to bypass a whole lot of unnecessary bureaucracies . The whole moving to the different clinics , God help u that u don’t have a connect there who would help u fast track the process ; u will see sick people lying helpless on pavements while those who brought them are on queue in their stead .

At various times we were literally attended to in the car; my patient had a drip stand fixed by the side of the car while he took two drips inside the car . The doctor and nurses practically told us not to bring down the patient from the car that the patient will be attended to in the car cos there wasn’t any bed or wheelchair free at that moment .

I think I agree with Raumdeuter, privatization is the way forward for all those government run businesses baba

Joezinho:
Omoooo

Even his fellow blackman; Mendy shock !

Spy360:
It is not something I am hoping for but what I see as the more obvious action. The other options are not so obvious, like White playing CM etc. These are all possibilities but the most obvious is Lokonga starting today in a double pivot with Xhaka.

If Arteta starts Lokonga in DM, then we know Arteta is just not ready yet...... He's not ready to learn from his lessons and move on; Lokonga in DM is a recipe for disaster. Experience already taught us that

raumdeuter:
Imagine say this Kyari dey talk true and he mentions Ibori or Oritsejafor one big man for Delta, What do you think will follow?

Different pressure groups will spring up and start claiming victimization of their son.

But then Obasanjo ensured Tafa Balogun was shamed and kicked out of the force based on his corruption case. I’m not saying other IGP’s have not been corrupt ( I do not have any evidence to suggest that or otherwise ) , but I think his travails was enough to send word to others who came after him to behave themselves . That’s why I feel people need to be brought to book and charged for these crimes, we shouldn’t just be reading about it on paper and deliberating on it till the news fades away

raumdeuter:
All these happen because its a govt thing and everyone believe its free money or our commonwealth and ministry mentality. In govt you have to be sensitive to the politics too. You point at Alams or Ibori, his people start protesting that its witchunt, you point at Dasuki or Dariye his people start complaining of witchhunt, you point at Orji Kalu, Tafa Balogun, Ifeanyi Uba his people start complaining of witchhunt

How many times have we seen people protest to defend blatant stealing because na their man?

Look at govt place where they ask them for competence test, credential verification even show up on time, They will go on strike because they are blocking them from chopping from the National cake

Privatize it and lets see if Mr Blueray wiill open eyes and someone will be stealing your investments even if the culprit is his pastor or old classmate

All the billionaires we hear and envy, If you hear from their staffs how they chase even the smallest things missing. Ask staffs of Adenuga Ovia Elumelu how shrewd these guys are.

I heard that time Adenuga ETB a sizable number of them visit EFCC regularly because of petty fraud

You are not far from the truth. Private businessmen will always succeed anywhere Government owned business has failed; In fact there's nothing like government owned business in this country sef, more like they are running charity and sharing the national cake which of course does not give chance for efficency.

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that Ibori was tried in naija and all the 70-count charge against him never stuck, in fact the case was struck out until UK had him extradited and tried & he eventually got 13 years jail term

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/opinion/3988-james_ibori_conviction_is_shame_on_nigeria_justice_awokulehin.html

This is a man who ordinarily should not have qualified to stand for an election in 1999 due to his ex-convict status prior to that time. The audacity of his kinsmen later defending him even after serving his term in the UK just leaves one mouth-opened

CSO koulibaily is so so humble and committed to the BLM movement ; He took the knee in the middle of the match

Nonsense talk !

This same APC that Igbokwe belongs to we’re acting as ASUU mouthpiece while they were trying to wrestle power from PDP .

They accused Jonathan of the PDP of dictatorship while the 2013 ASUU strike lingered…… I guess going by Joe Igbokwe’s logic we can say APC sponsored ASUU back then right ?

Jodera:
Spy dey amaze me sometimes.
The way him go dey make us talk about Lokonga ehh, person go think say we hate the guy .

I just hope say Arteta head no touch to go start Lokonga alongside Xhaka tonight

The problem spy has is that his love for his favorite players usually cloud his judgement and objectivity on some issues. How can anyone say Lokonga should play DM again ?

The moment Lokonga plays DM , just expect Xhaka’s brain fart and double legged lunging tackles to materialize cos the midfield will turn express and Xhaka out of passion will mow any opposition player down.

When a fire outbreak happened in one of our pipelines, we discovered that some of the pipelines were actually connected to individual’s homes. And not only that, and with all sensitivity to our religious beliefs, you know, some of the pipelines and some of the products that we found, are actually in churches and in mosques,” Kyari said.

“This means that everybody is involved. There’s no way you will take products, bring them in trucks in populated neighborhoods, load them, and leave without everybody else knowing about it. Everybody includes members of the community, members of the religious leaders and also and most likely government officials of all natures, including security agencies personnel.”

The government should name and shame these religious houses involved , have their leaders and other individuals involved prosecuted and answer for their crimes . We should not just be reading about these things in pages of newspapers and on social media, they should put face to these criminals and single them out for punishment in accordance with the laws of the land .

One thing I’ve learnt is when people are aware there are little or no consequences to their actions, they tend to have disregard for both laws and rules of morality.

A senior colleague was telling me how things usually operated in one of the first generation banks in the past. When a staff is found to have committed a fraud and the money he fraudulently appropriated is lower than his expected severance package/retirement benefits, they just deduct the money from his retirement benefits/ gratuity and allow him/her to continue working with the same bank with constant salary with full benefits till retirement . The cases of fraud never abated in the bank due to this policy till during Sanusi’s tenure as CBN governor and new management took over the bank.

With new management in place, any case of fraud is transferred to EFCC, the staff is summarily dismissed and most of them end up getting prosecuted even after the bank must have pursued recovery from the benefits that would’ve accrued to the staff. The cases of fraud reduced to a barest minimum cos people knew there were major consequences for their actions

Ojoro cancelled!

Lush100:
Bournemouth sack Scott Parker

I hope Scott Parker’s employment contract is tight, such that he gets adequately compensated as his contract was terminated abruptly….I mean the kinda contract that turned dem Mourinho into multi millionaire off getting sacked multiple times and getting mouth watering severance package .

If that’s the case for Parker, then he’s the big winner in all of this their unreasonable sack . The man will surely get another job either when someone like Lampard is sacked at Everton or any of those teams in Championship needs a coach ; within 2 to 3 years he will likely promote such team back to EPL and get another improved offer .

I just say make I update una

From admin’s mouth to God’s ears

Somebody said Pulisic should please terminate his contract

Omo , that first goal mendy dey save am on a normal day o

Rinse , repeat

HND in computer science shouldn’t be asking 1k to prepare Eba. I used to have this side hustle where I help people register as external candidates for Waec, Neco in private schools and Jamb. Anything u want to sell around me automatically becomes my market, I will find buyer. U Dey find house, I get am. All these side hustle bring food to the table. As a computer science, guy forget people make money for online registration and stuff, find one old Dell, printer that comes with photocopying machine, register people dem for jobs e.g npower or dem exams. Think man unless begging is your calling.

If u advise these people they will always find one excuse or the other to give you as to why they cannot engage in any productive activity other than asking for financial help online .

A grown man who uses a smartphone to access a forum like nairaland cannot think of services to render to people in his immediate environment even in the informal sector ……. Im sorry to say this ; some people are actually in need not because of being broke but because of their inability to think and do away with shame just to eke a living for themselves . I’ve seen a first class student who sold chinchin to his fellow students to supplement the little or nothing he gets from home, today he’s earning a honest decent living and almost through with his PhD.

I know life could be difficult at times cos I’ve been there before , but most times it’s poverty of ideas that makes us look at other people for our next meal when u can actually help urself with dignity in labor .

Jodera:
Yeah, I think it's because crime rate is low and they can easily be nabbed if anything happens reason why most of these guys are just moving free unlike naija wey one go need security and settlement to guarantee their safety.

I don't know the reason why Auba was targeted(or was a victim) but it's rare for most famous footballers to be a victim of arm robbery attack. Highest na just burglary I deh hear or read

But then again, I remember seeing Ronaldo going almost everywhere with twin brothers who act as his bodyguards even when he’s driving his luxury cars ……. So somehow I don’t know why other footballers are not using personal security like he does sha .

If I get the kind money those guys get anybody wey come for me go collect o…… Na to go write statement for police station next morning .

Jodera:
Pierre Emerick Aubameyang was the victim of a violent robbery last night, when four men broke into his home, beating him & threatening him & his wife with a firearm.


Omo, just seeing this now. I hope all is well with him and his family. Hopefully, they stay strong and come out better

Sometimes I do wonder how simple the life of those players can be in western world ( England , Spain, et Al) …… maybe cos crime rate is relatively low in those places sha .

I can bet that nobody can enter Okocha or Kanu’s house here in naija and inflict such harm on either of them or their families; dead body go surplus ! I mean even normal Yahoo boys hire soldiers , police and private security guys that keep watch on them and their families on a regular ….. small boy like Kelechi sef no fit collect for him home base for naija without his security taking down some of the assailants .

Well I’m saying this because the Ozil and Kolasinac mugging incident comes to mind . Those guys move freely in the western world which some of the criminal minds over there take advantage of. Imagine someone like Ahmed Musa and Kelechi in that Kolasinac-Ozil situation, those robbers for don bite dust .

I hope Auba and his family are fine tho. Nobody deserves that

BlueRayDick you don turn Igbo overnight

If i challenge Soludo... Then I don turn Yoruba also.



We really deserve bad governance sha.. We really do

I just weak my guy .

Anyways, they only confirmed what my position has always been that while Tinubu cannot be convincingly accused of tribalism , same cannot be said of his followers.
