Redman44: This is a solid thread. There is no country in the world that is perfect. The good thing about countries in Europe, North America and Australia and New Zealand, is that the governements of these nations have provided basic amenities and public services for their citizens. That is what the Nigerian government has perpertually failed to do. There are poor people in the developed nations who have failed to take advantage of the opportunities their leaders have provided. It is about time Nigerians stop seeing Britain, Canada and the USA as places to go to or die trying to enter. These countries have problems of their own. The recession is taking its toll on people in the advanced world. Last week, three ATM machines were removed from the walls of a shopping mall in East London. How the criminals removed the machines without making any noise beats my imagination The machines had lots of cash in them. It goes to show the desperation people are living in here.
In Britain, you'll see a lot of people driving nice cars and living in cool houses. However, a good scrutiny will reveal that some of the cars were bought on credit and mortgages are continously being paid on the houses. The strange thing is that at the end of the day, if you fail to pay the monthly mortgage rates, the house may be taken from you and given to another person. The money you've paid in the past hardly matters. I have seen people paying around 780-980 pounds monthly as their mortgage fees monthly for a 2 bedroom house. The next time you come across a white man or woman in Nigeria, please don't think they are better than you. Some of them travelled to Africa on volunteer work on the back of government grants. The government paid for the trip and also gives them upkeep money to take care of themselves. The British Government is currently encouraging youths in the country to go on volunteer work outside the United Kingdom. This is because many of these youths are finding it difficult to find proper jobs in Britain. These British youths are not ready to take up the tough jobs that immigrants are doing. I have come across Africans who bemoan their fate in Europe, especially Britain, but are scared of coming back to Nigeria. Crime is soaring in Britain today. Homes are being broken into and cars are stolen daily. It is shocking to come on Nairaland and read the comments about the crime levels in Nigeria. The British Police is having a tough time combating crime these days. Murders are committed daily and are people go missing in Britain too. However, the good thing about Britain is the criminals are mostly apprehended and locked up.
What makes America and Europe look good is the social infrastructure and social services available. The Nigerian government owes us in this regard. We are not asking our leaders to provide us with food, jobs or homes to live in. Let them just provide the basic services-
1. Provide constant electricity: This should be their number one goal. Electricity is what drives the development of a nation. All possible ways of ensuring constant power should be exploited and exhausted. 2. Provide water: All the state water corporations should be privatized and sold off to investors. Nigerians need to start paying for water services. Foreign companies should be invited to provide water services to the masses who are willing to pay for clean water. 3. A National Health Service has to be developed and Nigerians should be made to pay a yearly contribution towards it. There will be different grades of payment for the different classes of citizens. From around 1000-10,000 Naira yearly. Once a person pays the Health Service dues, he or she will be given a ID Card and number [ secret number ] that will let him or her be treated in selected hospitals and clinics all over the nation. For this to work, the Nigerian government has to develop its information systems and have a medical database of citizens. 4. The Federal Agency reponsible for roads maintenamce should be strenghtened and well funded. The bitumen deposits in Ondo State should be put to good use. Youth Corpers who studied Engineering should be made to serve with the Road Maintenance Agencies in different states during their service year.
I could go on and on, but I guess we all know what to do concerning the development of Nigeria. All these global development ratings are mostly done by arm-chair professors and critics who did not bother to travel down to the countries they are assessing and see things for themselves. And what did I just hear on the radio now? Wheelie Bins being stolen in London Who says poor people and criminals are not in London? Have a great day, mates. RedMan Omo pupa where r u frm pls identify urself  u hv really spoken. |
