Politics / Re: Opinion: Buhari Should Cancel Fuel Subsidy by kenny091(m): 7:14pm On May 24, 2015 |
Dude this message is not for the fuel marketers, they do not really care about us. Its for the incoming government. Don't you think its a cruel paradox that a country that produces fuel is also suffering becomes some marketers have refused to import this same oil |
Politics / Opinion: Buhari Should Cancel Fuel Subsidy by kenny091(m): 6:57pm On May 24, 2015 |
The mess in the petroleum sector in Nigeria today is of grand proportions, I wish I could say it has been an unprecedented two weeks of passion for all and sundry, but that would amount to self deceit. Nigerians have had to go through untold pains at the whims and whimsicles of our petroleum suppliers. Any slight change or appearance of instability in the petrol market and this marketers sit on their product and jack the prices up. Armtwisting helpless Nigerians and holding the whole system to ransom. I believe what affords them the ability to do this is the unity granted to them by fuel subsidy, which aims to ensure they sell fuel at a controlled price. Take for instance a petrol station selling fuel for 170 naira in the middle of the night today only to get a call from his fellow marketers and he stopped. They reopened today to join the others in selling for a whooping 300 naira per litre. As it is now the fuel marketers have done their worst, they have shown how much love they have for Nigerians. Now would be the right time to pull the plug on them and remove the subsidy. Let market forces pull down the prices with time. In the meantime one of the key goals for this incoming Government is to build at least two functional refineries in the country so that this embarrasing situation of the son of a baker crying for bread does not repeat itself. If we produce the oil we should have to suffer like this to get the oil. Fellow Nigerians over to you...... Cc: lalasticlala |
Politics / Re: Twist In Petition To Withdraw Okonjo-iweala's Yale Doctorate by kenny091(m): 6:34pm On May 24, 2015 |
poiZon:You want a debate, well you are on. Economy according to any standard dictionary is the effective management of the resources of a community or system. Now let me break down the key words for you 1. Efficient: means to produce result; okonjo iweala has no result to show us with all her doctorates, her economic management is ineffective 2. Resources: money, human resources, mineral resources e.g petrol. I don't think I need to say more on this. 3. Community: in this case refers to Nigeria. Okonjo's job as minister of Finance and coordinating minister of the economy is not to warn Nigeria of coming doom as some of ur fellow appologetics are claiming but to navigate the country away from or through such harm. |

Flets:If this were europe okonjo iweala would have resign in embarrassment long ago and this issue would not have to be discussed at all. We see public officers resign for leaving less of a mess than what okonjo has done. Am sure I saw greek officials resigning and making belated efforts with red-faced embarrasment to revert the economic crunch. Cerainly it was not during that crunch that they were receiving honorary degrees and chieftancy titles 1 Like |

Flets:This is one of our problems in Nigeria, how can u just assume the people that signed the petition are illiterate or biased. If you are not being biased yourself can you evaluate the economic situation of the country. I don't need a phd in econs to know the country is bleeped. About half of the states can not pay salaries to civil servants, federal govt can not pay salaries, no money to settle oil marketers and resolve the oil scarcity.

Politics / 10 Job Opportunities For Former Political Office Holders by kenny091(m): 5:11pm On May 14, 2015 |
10 Things Political Leaders Can Do After Leaving Office By Bayo Adeyinka Believe me, there's no need to steal if you're a politician. It shows a lack of ability to think and a deep-seated poverty mentality when politicians steal their people blind and amass wealth that is mind- boggling and at the same time repulsive. So I sat down to think about 10 things that politicians (Presidents, Governors, Ministers, Senators, Commissioners, Special Assistants, etc) can do after leaving office and still make an excellent living and fantastic income. Do you have an idea? Please add your own also. Here are my thoughts: 1.Give paid speeches In over 12 years, Bill Clinton has delivered over 500 paid speeches and earned an average of $195,000 per event. In 2011, he spoke at a ThisDay Newspaper event and he was reportedly paid $700,000. He has earned over $100m (over N20b) since leaving office in 2001. Hillary Clinton charges up to $200,000 per paid speech. Even daughter Chelsea Clinton earns up to $75,000 per speech. Our former political leaders can develop their capacity to such an extent that they are paid for their speeches. However, they must be orators and must be capable of original and intellectual thoughts. Olusegun Obasanjo and Kofi Annan are African leaders who easily espouse this- though it is not known if they get paid for their speeches. I would love to see Babatunde Fashola on a speaking tour! 2. Establish NGOs or a Foundation Kofi Annan has a Foundation. And Obasanjo too (never mind the Anne Marsh controversy). Kofi Annan also set up the Global Commission on Elections, Democracy and Security with Ernesto Zedillo ( a former Mexican President) and Marti Ahtisaari ( former President of Finland) on the board. Yakubu Gowon has the Yakubu Gowon Centre which specializes in infectious diseases control. The truth is that these kind of Foundations and NGOs are funded by a mix of public and private donors. For these kind of NGOs or Foundations, just ensure you add a mix of professionals and experts and you have an organization that cannot be ignored. 3. Write books Political memoirs are always best sellers. People want to know what informed certain decisions taken or how a particular political leader thinks. El-Rufai's 'Accidental Public Servant' and Olusegun Adeniyi's 'Power, Politics and Death' are recent books that were widely accepted and did very well in the market. I shelled out a handsome N25,000 just to purchase Olusegun Obasanjo's 'My Watch'. Apart from enriching the political discourse, they also get handsomely paid by the publisher and receive royalties for life. I'm seriously looking out for Goodluck Jonathan's memoirs. 4. Be a Consultant Consult for other leaders and organizations. Oby Ezekwesili is a senior economic advisor for Open Society, a group founded by billionaire George Soros, she consults for 9 African heads of state including Paul Kagame of Rwanda and Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia. Of course, it will not be free. African countries have similar problems and challenges and any exceptional former leader can leverage on what he has done right to consult for another country or state in a similar situation. For instance, Akinwunmi Adesina can consult for other African countries on the Growth Enhancement Scheme of the Agricultural Sector. 5. Set up a PR firm That should be one of the easiest thing to do. Set up a Public Relations firm that will leverage on the politician's experience to support initiatives or even lobby government on behalf of certain political considerations. 6. Become a farmer It should be relatively easy for any former politician to acquire vast tracts of land for agricultural purposes. If every politician will face farming instead of facing the Senate as a retirement home, Nigeria and indeed Africa will be able to feed itself. 7. Facilitate new investment vehicles using your wide network of contacts and get rewarded with a board position So many investors want to come to Africa, especially Nigeria. You can show them how. They will most likely trust you as a former leader and will be willing to part with some form of reward. It is absolutely legal. Bharti Airtel, one of the leading telecommunications companies in the world with operations in over 20 countries has Oby Ezekwesili as a director on its board. 8. Get a PhD. Or additional educational qualification. Yakubu Gowon got a PhD at the University of Warwick. Olusegun Obasanjo is pursuing his at the National Open University. With additional qualification, your worth has increased and you are better placed to assume intellectual responsibilities. 9. Become a Visiting Lecturer Offering Leadership Studies Anyone can pretend to be an authority in leadership studies. Most universities will gladly grab an opportunity to have an Institute of Leadership on their campuses. They know the former political juggernaut will attract political and financial heavyweights to their campuses when such Institutes have special seminars or programmes. And this doesn't usually come free. 10. Brand endorsements I once saw a Glo advert featuring David Mark, the Senate President. I also watched another one featuring Wole Soyinka though he's not a politician. If a politician has immense political capital, brands may want to leverage on the goodwill to enhance their brand perception. Can you imagine Babatunde Fashola endorsing a particular brand that wants to gain market acceptance? The only downside is that if the politician becomes enmeshed in a scandal, it can bring the brand down. But if there's immense political goodwill, why not? So, any other ideas? |
