Appleyard: I think, (like Dr Wokili said,) the Only Way Forward For Nigeria is to tackle the menace of corruption and the faulty structure of the system.
For instance, Nigerians are rightly not respected anywhere in the world. The first thing that comes to mind with the name ‘Nigeria’ is corruption and deception. One is automatically guilty of these vices until you proof yourself otherwise. Our bad national image has been cultivated and nurtured to maturity over the past decades by successive regimes in this country. Our image is the bye-product of unbridled corruption, avarice, false democracy as presently practiced in this country, indiscipline and loss of morale values by the generality of Nigerians as exemplified by various successive self imposed leaders. We are currently not practicing democracy but DEMONcrazy which is flagrant demonstration of demonic craziness. Elections are rigged coupled with violence, public pronouncements of our leaders are the exact opposite of what they practice, the law enforcement agents are compromised, the ordinary folks out there have lost confidence on the judiciary, dishonesty governs the leadership while deception becomes the compass. This has been the story for decades. While a few people are swimming in the ocean of affluence, majority of Nigerians are wearing oversized garments of poverty decorated with ornamental frustration. The universities are churning out graduates in hundreds of thousands every year without jobs thereby grooming them into future armies of revolution. Insecurity as expressed in assassinations, kidnappings, and now terrorism, is the order of the day! How do we come out of this quagmire?
I find out that the only difference between the people in the western world and Nigerians is the quality of leadership offered which is a reflection of the administrative structures in place. Aside from this, Nigerians and the westerners (Americans, Britons, French, and Germans etc) are basically the same and will behave the same way under the same conditions. The westerners and Nigerians have the same natural instincts for bad and good, it is the administrative structure in the society that shapes the conduct of the people by promoting either of the instincts with the other one diminished. Whichever instinct is consistently promoted over a period of time becomes the culture/value/ norm of that society just like corruption is a standard value in the present day Nigeria. This goes to say that if Americans were to be evacuated to Nigeria and vice-versa, over a very reasonable period of time, the corrupt administrative structural system in Nigeria will wear out the dominant positive attitude of the Americans and gradually reduce them to the level of Nigerians. That is why majority of Nigerians residing overseas behave like their hosts and on their return back home, they change to be the usual Nigerians. The problem is not the people but the administrative structures and leadership. Leadership uses structural administrative system to change the society for good or bad. Nigerians are the most obedient set of human species that I have ever seen and they are excellent copy-cats of their leaders. They sheepishly follow the foot- steps and direction of their leaders without questioning. The present Nigerians that are perceived at overseas as the most corrupt on earth are reflective of the leadership and will turn out to be the most decent on earth once the leadership gets it right! Even the leadership is a victim of the corruption and faulty the structural system that encourages all forms of negative vices, hence the need for fundamental and holistic changes. The state and federal administrative structural set-ups should be fundamentally changed to achieve a truly democratic society where the rule of law reigns supreme above everyone including the presidency.
The law enforcement agents like the Police, EFCC, SSS, NIA, etc should be completely and truly independent in terms of funding and administration as it obtains in the western world. The press should be empowered by law to request for, obtain and publish documents that border on corruption and any other matters that are of public interest without being harassed by law enforcement agents. INEC should be truly and completely independent in terms of funding and administration, receiving orders from no one. The judiciary both at state and federal levels, should be truly and completely independent and no state or federal executive should have any form of power/influence on the judiciary by making the appointment, promotion and dismissal of local, state and federal judges the sole responsibility of the National Judicial Council without seeking the permission or approval from anyone.
Electoral malpractices should attract capital punishment because such culprits are toying with the lives of millions of Nigerians! To me, corruption should attract public execution or amputation, because it is the most dangerous and potent ‘weapon of mass destruction’! It kills enmass via road accidents, typhoid as a result of untreated water, simple diseases due to lack of adequate medical provisions etc as the budgeted funds are embezzled. When leaders at Local, State and Federal levels know that they can be exposed by the press, arrested by the police and arraigned before judges for maximum punishment without anybody (including the President) having the power to intercede, everyone will be on his/her toes! Election rigging will seize and elected leaders will have no option but to serve the people or else end up in jail. Militancy will fizzle away because leaders (executives and law makers) can be held responsible for their actions by the poor using instrumentalities of law without any hindrance or fear, assured that pure justice will be applied. ‘God-fatherism’ in Nigerian politics will not find any footing. Graduates will not be roaming the streets for jobs reserved for the ‘connected’ ones that are even less qualified.
Factories will spring up, there would be jobs, and unemployment would be drastically reduced, if not ended. And the result would be a peaceful and blissful Nigeria.
Till then, God bless Nigeria! The big question is, who will implement this great solution? Is it our current set of political and economic elites, when they are the exact antithesis of your propositions and benefit so much from the rot of the current system? Or the people that are bitterly divided along our national fault lines, coming together to demand equity of our leaders? |
Politics › Re: Need For South South And South East Alliance ( Former Eastern Region) by frehage: 10:42pm On Jul 20, 2015 |
Appleyard: Yes! The present nature of the national system fosters corruption. The system is poorly structured and it need immediate restructuring. No doubt about that! But the question is; who will or should bring about the restructuring? Who are those saddled with the responsibility of law making? Are we to say that, if all the senators and rep members from the whole south resolve and put forward the need for the restructuring of this nation, wont it eventually scale through at the end, even if their counterparts from the north decides otherwise? If so, what then is stopping them from even thinking along such line, let alone raising dust to bring it to pass? Why? It is simple: they dont just care whether the system is itself, faulthy or not. All they think and care about,(which they had already immagined up their greedy heads before elections) is the benefits they would reap from such lofty positions.
Thus, the actual problem still point back to THE OPERATORS OF THE SYSTEM, and not just the SYSTEM itself!
Corruption has more to do with individual ideology and objectivism, not just the particular structure of a system!
Belgium that you mentioned was able to achieve that purpose, because they have career and people-minded political and economic ruling elites; but the same can not be said of Nigeria.
Tell me, When last did you actually voted and your vote counted, especially in elections for states representatives? Or better still, what good dividends or impact of a representative government have your locality or constituency benefited since the democratic life of Nigeria began?
If the answer is none or not much, it is therefore as a result of the same twin evil-- Corruption and insensitivity on the part of the ruling elites! If it wasn't there, the story would have been different, irrespective of the faulty System! it is true that we speedilyu need a change in structuring of the system, and nobody is afraid of that. But the question still remain: where are the leaders that would bring about this change? Well, the painful answer is, thery are not there because the ones we have now are so selfish and corrupt. And you can never chieve any mea ningful development where corruption and insensitivity thrives!
Thats the point i was trying to make. We need a change, but the corruption wont let it! Superb. So what's the way forward? |

Sorry . . . I could not find out . . . perhaps if I were to see the rotor itself. I would be able to deduce what type it was.

Ogatitus: If Ben Murray-Bruce, the Senator representing Bayelsa East Senatorial district would have his way, each youth corps member will receive N500,000 capital to start any business of their choice once they finish with the one- year compulsory service under the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). He described it as a way to create jobs. The money should be given as an interest free loan ( not dash) to discourage laziness. |

Your Arogbo Ijaws are mere migrants on our soil. What does Oduduwa have in common with Amanyanbo? I only re-echoed oil production statistics, not land ownership. I'm not an Arogbo Ijaw. BTW, the Ijaw Language has more similarities with Yoruba than any of the other major Nigerian languages. |
