When an elected official has been shown to be engaged in an irrefragable or caught in an immoral act, it is only honorable that they resign or leave office. In situations where they do not willingly resign, our constitution should allow the constituents of the area represented by that elected official to be able to force the issue by registering their protest at the local INEC office, when a certain agreed threshold is reached, that official is notified by INEC and will seize to represent that locality, a bye election can then be conducted.

Again, this will keep power in the hands of the people and ensure elected officials are accountable.

Those allowed to register their protest should be those who actually voted the official into power. An instance is if 50,000 people actually voted this official into power, then if 25001 protests is received from that pool of people, power reverts to the people and it triggers a bye election.

Nigeria can get better if we decide to make Nigeria better. Nigeria is not finished. Nigeria does not need to break up. Nigeria is made up of many ethnic groups even within the same geo-political zone. with the Ife modakeke crisis, the agitation for an Ijebu state, the Ijaw-itsekiri crisis, the jos crisis et cetera, those are cases of in-fighting within ethnic groups. How does breaking up Nigeria address these problems?

Unity in diversity is a very great strength. The only draw back is that the strength can only be realised if it comes alongside maturity.

We need serious psychological re-orientation to remove the deep-seated ethnic intolerance that is a common feature of so many cultures.

creating a mechanism to remove leaders the populace is dissatisfied with is a very great idea but it must be carried out with great caution so as not to be abused by unscrupulous elements.

I believe at the local levels we can practice direct democracy such that people are organized into small units through which their protests can be registered.

I look forward to a day when one person can directly affect the Nation positively through the use of a technology enabled direct democractic process. This is a challenge that Nigerian IT professionals must rise up to.

Going further on the case of ethnic intolerance. It is a shame that the youth of Nigeria have inherited this horrible nation splitting trait from the previous generation.

Africans seem to be the remaining continent where ethnic intolerance is the order of the day, little wonder why it is the poorest and most unstable continent.
In a world where everyone is trying to come together many Nigerians are still divided.
It is common knowledge that "United we stand, Divided we fall" yet for selfish reasons, many of us are still divided and view people not of our particular ethnic group as second class citizens of our community.
It is pertinent to note that this division does not stop at the ethnic level, it keeps going deeper and deeper until different strata or classes are defined even within small ethnic communities.

Furthermore, the only people that benefit from division are unscrupulous elements bent on subverting the common good of the community for their selfish and narrow interests. Little wonder that it is politicians that usually drive the wedges that divide us deeper.

I believe we should replace state of origin in all official forms and documents with state of residence / place of birth,
A person is a primary citizen of a place if he/she has lived and paid personal income taxes there continuously for the last 5 years
Only primary citizens can contest for political positions

THE criteria can get increasingly tougher as the scope of responsibility increases.
This will fix the problem of ethnicity because people of different ethnicity will be residing in a particular community and are bona fide citezens
Also it should be a crime to address someone else as a second class citizen of a place in any public communication if they are bona fide citizens

After the above law is passed, there will be a gradual re-orientation of the citizenry with the consequent reduction of ethnic intolerance.

This point of view was also elucidated in the last vice-presidential debate by Tunde Bakare.

A system whereby, first class graduates of law, psychology and economics as well as other science students interested in nation building can be put together during their NYSC to tackle societal problems with various teams debating the various ideas put forward. In the end, the best and most affordable ideas can be implemented by the federal government with due recognition going to the teams that created them.

We can have a national list of challenges for which enterprising Nigerians can build innovative solutions with an expectation of reasonable returns on the investment of their time and other resources.

For Nigeria to be great, we need to solve our problems ourselves! we need to raise capital ourselves!

India banned or at least restricted the influx of foreign cars a few years ago and today TATA an indian company are the owners of the Land Rover brand!

That is a great validation of the theory of economies based on local production of goods and services.

On the issue of Capital and Foreign Investment,

Capital is[b] anything [/b] that can be employed for the production of a good or service!

We don't need foreign capital for the development of local industries! Infact, once we use foreign capital, the industry, by definition cannot be a local industry. The foreign source of the capital will demand returns which can only be paid by repatriating the goods and services sold or the financial gains made by the sale of the goods or services produced.

To build a bridge, we do not need a foreign company! All we need are competent engineers that will employ available labour and resources to build the bridge.
For example, if a community wants to build a bridge, it can get a competent engineer, provide labour through the deployment of the youths in the community (remunerating them by providing them locally produced food, shelter and clothing) and pay the engineer by allocating him or her land from the community for private use for a particular number of years, or promise him or her food supply from the community for a number of years.
If money is needed for the procurement of materials not locally available, a regional bank can provide the funds (to be paid back by sustainably produced community resources).

The above method is not as easy as just borrowing money from a bank and paying the engineer but it saves the community a lot of heart ache, enriches the community, prevents the future generation from becoming slaves in the community by providing them locally owned means of livelihood sustained by mutually beneficial exchange of goods and services.

Nothing good comes easy!

Quote from E-Force in the "Sense of Purpose" thread

I Dream NIGERIA
Where were we (Where do we want to be)! Where are we !! Where are we heading !!!


Arise, O compatriots (A sense of equal right),

Nigeria's call obey (Be responsible to your Nation)

To serve our Fatherland (Labor and Produce),

With love and strength and faith. (Sense of purpose)

The labour of our heroes past

Shall never be in vain (Honor Ancestral Labor of ''Yester Years''),

To serve with heart and might (Deliver in Truth)

One nation bound in freedom, peace and unity. (Accepted by all)


I LOVE THIS ONE.

O God of creation (ONE that was in The Beginning)
Direct our noble cause;
Guide our Leaders right:
Help our Youth the truth to know (Nurture and Teach),
In love and honesty to grow(Maintain Dignity),
And live in just and truth (Maintain Peace),
Great lofty heights attain(Boundless Freedom),
To build a nation where peace and justice reigns (Labour with purpose).


I love my Nation, I love my Country. I am Nigerian. I just have one question and need the right answer please (Elders) . What is the purpose of Nigeria?

Nice thread guys, we all have this thing in us. Its so nice to have a forum like this, and many thanks again for re posting my thread logic1.

I believe our historical quest for freedom was for a purpose.

To make Nigeria really great, we first of all have to love it, there is no two way to it.

In this love is unity which was once defiled.

I believe in the love behind our quest for freedom. The Delivery of a Nation (Our own).

I also believe that there is a generational shift (Very significant).

This very generation, most of which were told the tales of history are well positioned in love.

@E_Force
Yeah you are right about us having to love Nigeria and for that to happen we need to have a definite sense of purpose.

We need to come up with a defining purpose for Nigerians, something like "The American Dream" that Nigerians can look up to and aspire their lives towards.

When we come up with a theme strong enough to galvanize Nigerians irrespective of tribe or ethnic group, we will have accomplished almost 50% success in our quest or psychological re-orientation.

However, for us to have any shot at creating a unifying theme we first have to break the widespread and suffocating attitude of ethnic intolerance. One way (even though it's very expensive) is to start a media campaign that systematically breaks down the barriers that have been set up by the previous generation by asking subtle questions and providing answers that unify everyone.

One such example is to ask subtle questions about the Nigerian civil war and provide answers that suggest to our Igbo brothers and sisters that breaking away to form Biafra (which will in all probability be land-locked) will not provide a satisfactory solution to their problems but staying as one Nation and learning to live among their fellow Nigerians as bona-fide citizens of Nigeria will go a long way in solving their problems.

We can push ideas that suggest that a Nigerian with Igbo or Yoruba parents is a bona-fide citizen of Kano state and can become a governor of that state if He was born there or has lived there long enough to be able to interact without any language or cultural barriers.

We can push ideas that de-emphasize ethnic affiliations in favour of the Nigerian Identity.

A focused campaign will definitely cost billions but we can do[b] little little campaigns in our various circles of influence [/b] that will be more effective than one single huge campaign.

@E_force
I checked out your website and I'm impressed by what you guys are doing - Procurement Outsourcing.
You'll be in a good position to push the "Buy Nigerian" campaign, or at least influence your clients to do so.

I have a business solution for the procurement industry and I believe we can work together.
I have saved your details and will contact you as soon as it is appropriate.

I believe if Nigerian youths decide to exchange goods and services between themselves rather than buying foreign goods and services we will build a strong economy in spite of our huge challenges.

Nigeria should be growing at 25% a year.

1. We need to exploit diamonds that we have (not blood diamonds)
2. Get the best farmers, train farmers and give them the best equipment to make food. Then they will consume domestically and export the rest around the world.
3. Subsidize factories so that they can get more equipment (faster production) and workers (engineers , laborers, managers, etc)
4. Corruption is a NO NO. There should be a corruption hotline and anyone who is corrupt will be reported, have ALL HIS ASSETS STRIPPED AND SOLD to a corruption auction.
5. High tariffs or ban unnecessary products that can be produced at home.
6. Bring Nigerians in the Diaspora back to build Nigeria. Even ones who were born and raised abroad.
7. SUPPORT NIGERIAN PRODUCTS AND NIGERIAN TOURISM
8. This will reduce crime by 95% more people will visit Nigeria for tours. During the cold months from October to March-April we will have many people visit our tourist attractions.

Honestly this can all be done by January 2012 so our economy can start growing. Over 40 million people will be employed by this and there will be people from other countries coming to Nigeria to work to build Nigeria.

Destroying This Nigeria –By Leonard Karshima Shilgba, PhD

I am not satisfied with the Nigeria in which I live today, neither am I proud of it. I want this Nigeria destroyed and another born. There is despair where there should be hope. Groups that should inspire have rather become hindrances of social and economic

growth. But why do I still write about Nigeria in spite? I do because people only run with what they read and understand; and if what they read has read them and exposed them enough, there is hope that one day the right spirit that makes great and enviable places shall take hold of their souls and give them no rest until their habitation becomes a place of praise.

STUDENT UNIONS: I have pondered the capacity of Nigerian students to provoke the right change, which shall make justice and the rule of law to hold sway. We have watched as Nigerian rulers have deceived us and taken us for fools that we give ourselves away to be. We have watched as our roads, both federal- and state-owned, have become death traps and claimed many lives, including those of Nigerian students. We have watched as huge sums of money have been sunk into public infrastructure such as electricity infrastructure, with worsening outcome. We have watched as our rulers have announced particular electricity generation targets over and over without accomplishing them, or even worse still, with overlapping targets, later targets being less than previously announced ones. We have allowed contractors with their conniving government officials get away with either abandoned public projects or poorly done ones, which get damaged no sooner than they were supposedly executed. We watch idly as our public primary schools, secondary schools, and tertiary institutions have suffered immoral neglect from our rulers while they send their wards to posh private universities both in Nigeria and abroad with stolen money. And I look around and see Nigerian students under the stupor of either cowardice or hypnotizing distractions, doing nothing even though public schools have remained shut down more often in one academic session than they are open to students.

But are we not crying more than the bereaved? If the Nigerian students, attending those rundown public schools, truly felt the pain would they not react? Maybe they love what they are “enjoying” and yet we, provokingly intruding fellows, are stressing ourselves for nothing. Maybe the leaders of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) know better than some of us writers, who are too blind to see that Nigerian students have been well taken care of by their governments (at federal, state, and local levels), who give some of them scholarships that are sufficient to pay their tuition fees in public universities and provide for their basic academic needs. I am sorry if I am too blind to see your comfort, Nigerian students. Maybe I am too blinded by my anger at not being selected by President Jonathan for a federal ministerial position so that I too would exact my national share. Maybe I don’t know that you students in public Nigerian universities also have access to the kind of quality library and laboratories that my students have. Maybe I am ignorant that you too enjoy regular electricity and water supply on your campuses that my students do. Maybe I don’t know that you have wireless internet campuses such as ours, where I teach at a private university in the same Nigeria you love too much to change. Probably each of you has a wireless-enabled laptop that my students have, and the type of projector-equipped and magic board-installed classrooms in which I teach in the same Nigeria you would not change. Maybe you too enjoy uninterrupted academic calendars that my students do, and could graduate within three years. Maybe your professors and lecturers are as comfortable as we are, but they are too fastidious, thus the regular strikes they embark upon. You must be angry at your lecturers for being ungrateful to your Nigerian rulers. Forgive me if both you and your lecturers have access to the latest research materials anytime they are needed just as we do. Probably your lecturers and professors, like us at a private university in the same Nigeria of your satisfaction, are provided with free laptops, Ipads, and regular and adequate funds to attend local and international conferences anywhere on earth. Forgive me if your schools have exchange programs with foreign counterparts and you interact thereby with your foreign colleagues for broader education and image boost of your universities.

Nigerian students, do you know that you can force your governments to act for the public good? Maybe you are contented with your lot in life. Maybe your certificates are yet being valued highly within Nigeria. Maybe the rate of unemployment is not high enough and so your attention is not turned to the “problem.”

Action Points:

If you are not satisfied with this Nigeria, then destroy it. The leadership of NANS should call for an indefinite shut down of all schools in Nigeria until they obtain practical commitment for the following:

i. Convocation of a national constitution conference that will result in true fiscal federalism and decentralization of executive and legislative authority (Items on exclusive legislative list, which compromise real federalism must be expunged). All schools, universities and tertiary institutions that have been taken over by the federal government must be handed back to their original owners.

ii. Appointment of Vice-chancellors must be made to have international outlook, with rigorous competition that should require candidates to present their vision, including how they could raise funds. In other words, students should insist on efficient management of universities and tertiary institutions.

iii. All federal roads in Nigeria must be repaired, re-constructed, or constructed within two years, and all contractors and public officials that have failed to execute road projects in the past must be publicly announced and prosecuted, and the funds received must be retrieved.

iv. The salaries and allowances of all public officials in Nigeria (who are presently less than 18,000 in number), currently standing at more than N 1.2 trillion annually, must be slashed to reflect the national minimum wage of N 18, 000 a month, so that the total emoluments of the highest paid public official is not more than 20 times N 18,000 monthly. To do this, they must picket the offices of the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) and the national and state houses of assembly.

v. New refineries must be built and modern railway lines should be built within a specified period of time. And there should be no increase in pump prices of liquid fuel until those refineries are built and railways are built to link up each and every state in Nigeria.

vi. Such demands that will create jobs and reduce cost of production in Nigeria should be made by Nigerian students.

We know that governments have taken control of leadership of student unions in Nigeria, and have compromised student leaders financially. But is there not a cause? Those so-called student leaders have lost the moral right to lead; can’t we have new leaders arising from the ash of the past? I can see a time in the future, if immediate actions are not taken to stop the downward slide, when there shall be coups in states in Nigeria. Governors of some states shall be overthrown even if the central “democratic” government stays. And the federal police and army who cannot contain the latest wave of violence in the land can do nothing to stop such overthrows. Then we shall have warlords in different parts of Nigeria. The provocation in some states is becoming unbearable; it is like the governors have concluded that they could do with their people as they will, and there would be no consequences.

Who was the richest man in the world 100 years ago? Who was the richest man in Nigeria 50 years ago? Do you know? Can you remember? Don’t you have to do some research to find out? But do you remember Martin Luther King Jr.? The civil rights movement in his day achieved much result because students were involved. He was inspired by American students. Oh yes, some of the school children were killed. But they still speak today. Money doesn’t make men, Nigerian students; rather, men make money. It is not all about money. I remember Segun Okeowo, a one-time Nigerian student leader. But I don’t know who NANS president is today. Since 1988, which national issue have Nigerian students stood for? Is their voice being heard today about serious national issues? Oh, I could carry a placard that reads, “OBITUARY OF THE NIGERIAN STUDENTS”. But shall we not experience a resurrection? We are tired of the inactive “solidarity” songs, that won’t lead to solidarity with national change. I am disturbed.

Let us destroy this Nigeria where justice is for the highest bidder. Let us destroy this Nigeria where politicians sponsor violence to achieve “profitable” political negotiations. Let us destroy this Nigeria where the judiciary has fallen prey to monetary persuasion, and the temples of justice have been turned into recreation attractions to the powerful and rich, to use to sell a dummy to the unwatchful patriots. Senator Wagbara, Professor Fabian Osuji; do you remember them? The first was a senate president, the second was minister of education. Few years ago, they were charged to court; the minister for seeking to corruptly pad the education budget and the senator for making corrupt monetary demands. That happened before I returned to Nigeria. The matter has not come up again after the deceptive “arrest and bail-setting.” Many such cases have taken place in Nigeria. Don’t think Mr. Bankole’s matter will be taken to a logical conclusion either. They usually die out with judicial connivance. The rulers are “arrested” when they have personal quarrels with their more powerful colleagues. They go and dig up a matter about which the more powerful rulers have had knowledge all along. Journalists are rushed to give a fake publicity. The travelling passports of the fallen rulers are seized. Bail application is filed. They are freed, and the matter dies. May we destroy this Nigeria!

Contractors are awarded public project contracts. They cut public officials such as ministers, governors, commissioners, speakers, and senate president some slack (in some cases, 30 percent of the amount paid). Worst of all, the project is abandoned, and no one is prosecuted because the hunter and the hunted have become bedfellows. I travelled on the Otukpo-Otukpa road in Benue state two weeks ago. I understand that contract for this road was awarded, but the money has been shared between the contractor and a powerful man in the Nigerian senate. It is an eye sore, with wreckages of vehicles testifying to the blood guilt of Nigerian rulers. Also, exactly two weeks ago as I write, I was stuck on the Ibadan-Lagos express way about three kilometres to an overpass leading to Abeokuta. Hundreds of cars and trucks were before and behind our jeep. I was driving to Abeokuta. I did not know the reason at first. Later, I learned that a bad spot on the expressway on our lane was the cause of the hold up. It was not possible to drive through the muddy divide to the other lane and head back to Ibadan. After being “detained” on the road for about two hours, I was able to find a safer channel through the divide; I drove over to the other lane and headed back to Ibadan. It was past 11.00 pm local time. I slept at a hotel in Ibadan that night. The next day, I drove to Abeokuta through the Akpata area of Ibadan. Have we not heard about “concessioning” and all that nonsense of this expressway for well over seven years? Yet this is the busiest road in West Africa. What a country!

When I drive on Nigerian roads and see how bridges on those roads are only being sustained by the mercy of God, I wonder whether Nigerian rulers are demons or humans. Less than two weeks ago, I drove on the Wukari-Jalingo federal road. There is a bridge over the river in a town called Tella. I took a look at this bridge, looked at the water below it and wondered how one could survive if his car is thrown inside the belly of the river by a collapsing bridge. About three days ago that bridge collapsed. My niece who was returning to Benue state called and told me that they had to sleep on the way. I asked her if workers were brought to the site to fix the problem. She said there was no one in sight. Even as I write, unless I fly to Abuja and then take a cab to Benue state, I must risk a drive through Plateau state from Yola to Abuja, and then to Benue state, all because a federal road of an oil-rich state like Nigeria has been shut down by the collapse of a bridge that was probably built when I was only a child. Let us destroy this Nigeria.

I sympathize therefore with those who would minimize rather than maximize economic entanglement between nations.
Ideas, knowledge, art, hospitality, travel - these are the things which should of their nature be international.
But[b] let goods be homespun whenever it is reasonably and conveniently possible[/b], and above all, let finance be primarily national.
- John Maynard Keynes (emphasis mine)

The greater the diversity, the greater the potential for further innovation and the greater the greater the resilience of the system in times of stress and crisis. Genetic and cultural diversity are life's storehouses of intellectual capital and the building blocks from which it melds itself into new and more capable forms.
- David C. Korten

We must organize demonstrations and picket government houses until our demands are met.
The problem is that many people who want to take part in these demonstrations ae working class people who are struggling to fend for their families and thus are in no position to organize demonstrations

the onus lies on our university undergraduates for they are old enough to understand political issues and are free enough to organize protests.

Working class people can also work with students on the weekends and other free days to galvanize them into action.

My Imagination,

Chants by 50,000 Nigerian Students protesting in the premises of the National Assembly

We no go gree o, We no go gree

To ensure balance of trade, every importer of goods and services must be aligned with a corresponding exporter of goods
and services produced locally such that the net import must be equal to the net export.

imports and exports should be classified into raw materials, processed goods and services.

there should be balance of trade in all 3 classes.

Companies cannot cancel out their imports by exports in another class!

Too much exports of raw materials (makes us slaves)
too much imports of raw materials (makes us dependent)

Foreign exchange must be controlled tightly by the government. Bureau De Change orgaizations must be strictly monitored.
The organizations rather than the government should be responsible for creating the partnership.

divide it

divide what?

Employment:
No organization should be allowed to employ expatriates indiscriminately.

An organization must first prove beyond all reasonable doubt that no Nigerian capable of carrying out the task is available before an expatriate can be employed

Whenever an expatriate is employed, the organization must embark on a program of training Nigerians such that within 2 years a Nigerian can take over from the expatriate, This means that no expatriate can be employed for more than 2 years in Nigeria at a stretch doing the same Job.

Everyone employed in Nigeria must be paid in Naira! We cannot allow private organizations to increase the indebtedness of Nigeria for exclusively private gains!

Acting with critical consciousness creates immunity against propaganda and false promises

Capitalism's false promise: Freedom and prosperity without the burden of responsibility.

Nigeria must embrace a true market economy so that we are neither slaves and laborers (by exporting mostly raw materials) or overdependent on any other economy (by importing more than 10% of goods and services consumed)

(CP-Africa) - South Africa has been invited by China to join the group of four of the fastest growing emerging economies in the world, Brazil, Russia, India and China, the BRICs, Reuters reports. The country which is Africa’s top economy was invited officially today by China’s foreign minister according to a statement released by South Africa’s minister of international relations and cooperation, Maite Nkoana-Mashabane. South Africa applied to join BRIC at the G20 meeting of the world’s leading economies in Seoul in November.

According to 2009 World Bank estimates, South Africa is the world’s 31st largest economy. With South Africa’s addition, the BRICs will now be spelled the “BRICS.”

The term “BRIC” was originally coined in 2001 by Jim O’Neill, Chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management.

BRICS is just a nomenclature invented by brilliant investors who are trying to exploit the people of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The BRIC nations got to where they are because they turned down IMF structured foreign investment and chose instead to focus on building their own economies.

When IMF and the investment community say an economy is growing what they mean is that the claims they have to that economy's labor, land and natural resources are growing! It means they can now bet more money on the nation!

Money value is an illusion.
We should say no to foreign investment because the investor is KING! the borrower is SERVANT to the lender!

We can organize ourselves! we are the ones who have true capital - Land, Labor and Natural Resources. We should organize our capital to develop ourselves!

No great nation was ever developed with foreign investment. That's a statement that IMF seeks to obscure in the minds of everyone.

Very nice thread. I will contribute when I feel inspired- not feeling it at the moment.

I think this idea would be better-leveraged if you create a Facebook group/page for it. The group is better because you can exercise more control. The page is good if you want to market the concept. However, the quality of contributions would be seriously compromised.

Expulsion of the Fulanis, Hausas and Yorubas from Nigeria to Chad, Cameroun and Niger Republic,

This is positive thread.

We must be clear first of all who the enemies of development are and arrest them.

Obasanjo and Babangida are continuing to screw up the country cause confusion in a bid to hang to stolen trillions of Naira.

Just a small change. Lets stop penalising entrepreneurs for having the temerity to want to start a company.

Checking a business name is not so hard that you have to bribe some clerk in abuja to do so. Place all this info online and we can satisfy our curiosity at a cheaper cost to the state.

even business registration should be much easier. why all the blackmarketty feel to it? the process shouldnt be so so complex that you would need to run after lawyers to register a company.

It should be possible to register a company under 5 days or even 2 days.

@maclatunji
thanks. I believe there are similar groups on facebook like the "Fix Nigeria Group" and the "How can we make Nigeria better" Group.
It is imperative that we organize ourselves on all media possible to bring the desired change to Nigeria.

@GenBuhari

we have to come up with an intelligent way to prosecute the "enemies of development".
There will always be enemies of development and there is no way we can remove them all.

We will most likely have to move on inspite of all the enemies of development.
We will have to organize ourselves to create change inspite of the activities of our enemies.

I believe that no enemy is greater than the combined resolve of Nigerian youths. We are stonger than them

Life draws us towards mindfulness, Money towards compulsion. A mindful person will more readily see the capacity for mindfulness in others.

To solve the massive problems in Nigeria, we have to be mindful and thoughtful. We have to draw out counsel and ground breaking ideas through deep reflection and meditation.

The problems that assail us are not small, but no problem regardless of the size can trump the infinite capacity of the human mind especially when in cooperation with other like minds.
