Why Over Criticism Will Make You Lose Opportunities. by Nobody: 11:28am On May 06, 2021
There is nothing bad when you criticize once in a while but there is something wrong with you, when you spend all your life time criticizing to the extend you become a cronic critic and a chief complainer.

For example, you spend all your life time critising the government but miss government programmes and intiatives that could help your business or your life. To be realistic with you, there are lot of initiatives and laws government have created that if you had taken time to read and understand it would have helped you before a new government comes to power.

Another example, you are a stock or crypto investor, just because the media critize an investment, you took the media side and then became a chronic critic that you missed the action instead of investing. E.g , The media criticize bitcoin, gamestop, dogecoin, ethereum, many people lost the train and miss the opportunity to invest when those coins and stocks were cheaper, now they are regretting.

My simple advice is this, when you give out criticism also always try to be open minded so that you won't miss good opportunities.

Lol...must you complainhuh grin

Whether pdp or apc comes, to be sincere with you i am not intrested in their personality, i am only interested in knowing about the programs they implemented so that i will take full advantage of it.

One of the trick is to know the programs initiated and the right government agencies that is in charge of it. Apply and make use of the opportunity.

Complaining and criticizing does not solve hunger. grin

You’re right

But when the government purposely do restrict and manipulate those agencies against some citizens based on sentiments or tribe

How do they go about it.

Ouota system... how do you address that abnormally in today Nigeria

Your assertion that government purposely restricts and manipulate agencies against citizens based on sentiments or tribe is wrong.

Have you ever applied for any government program and you were denied based on tribe??

I know lot of southerners that got boi and boa loans for their business and agricultural projects.

Yes,, it is true that most government initiatives goes by the law of quota system that is because they want fairness.

Quata system is a system of fairness and in a way equality, if quota systems does not exist then many groups won't be given opportunities.

Let’s be pure and honest .. we both know that governments especially in Nigeria.. always employ sentiments, tribal and religious in handling most of their freebie policies

Present government and all military governments did apply that.
Gej government was also accused of same

Quota system can’t be termed justice or fairness
Is an idea that breeds inequality and superiority by way of sentiments

How do you explain that in education and other government institutions in Nigeria

What do you even me by Justice.. whereas your denying someone right trading it with a lesser human that don’t merit it
How do you expect such people to fit into a working environment and you want result and progress
Doesn’t make sense

There’s much ways to deal with the quota thing
But no.. Nigeria government will never do that... illiteracy in the north is not excuse ... the north can still develop itself to achieve individual potential of it citizens and say bye to illiteracy
Be real to yourself..

Mu San gaskiya di sa bu da mu na sa mu abin da mu ke so shi ya da mu na ba da kei

Ouota system tribal and religious sentiments nepotism are what’s setting Nigeria back

You might be right but are we going to blame government for this situation.

Lets be realistic, Nigeria has 799 local government also the country has a Muslim and Christian population that divides along tribes and ethnicities

Imagine when a free government programs comes, if the government gives 10 Christians and 5 muslims, the muslims will complain of discrimination, out of those 15 Nigerians, if the government gives scholarship to 8 christians from a single local government, the muslims in that local government and the rest people will shout discrimination, that is one of the complexities of ruling Nigeria.

You want equality and also fairness, how do you enact that without people complaining, that is one of the reasons the country is divided into states, regions and local government to encourage equal participation but equal participation isn't easy because not all fingers are equal, some tribes will be more educated than the others, more populated than others and also some regions will have more local government than others.

My case for quota system is this, if quota system does not exist, then lot of tribes in Nigeria won't get opportunities, quota systems have made a person from an unknown tribe become ministers or perm sec in a ministry, you can't get everything on merit in a multicultural system, everybody have to be pleased in one way or the other or they will feel left behind.

Understand.

But why can’t government share it equally... even if it one slot we all get
Then start next freebie where the stop.

Administrative division in Nigeria is created for such purposes

Look at present government and its love for Fulani and Islam

Nepotism lead the government policies in all sphere of government. Ain’t there people from other regions and different religions that can do better than what we presently have?

There’s no excuse for all this ... is just the way African governments are wired and theirs never enough excuses

China is about a billion .. but every single citizen is carried along
Was in Songhai 1998.. was a typical local Chinese village that used to use lamp

Tody Songhai is one of the business district in China with great infrastructure and rapid development

Ouota system nepotism tribal differences don’t help any human..
or you think China don’t have different tribes?

Allow us criticize government maybe doing that will make them sit up and start proffering solutions

There’s always solution.. and it comes easily

Except in Africa and particularly Nigeria

Every leader wants to exploit this difference to their benefit ..

I have written why not everything can be shared equally, i know that for government jobs, military jobs all positions are shared equally according to states, in all cases, government give slots to 10 people each from each states. Is that not equality?

There is no system in the world where 100% of its Citi are carried along, in china for instance, most wealth are concentrated in the big cities, when you go out of the big cities, you start seeing the reality of china.

The chinese system is not perfect, han chinese are given preference in jobs, business than lets say Zhuang or Tibetans, so the idea that china does not have nepotism or tribal problems is false, then there won't be crackdown on tibet or uyghur, no system is perfect.
