Despite being impressive, these ideas will result into further degradation of the economy. To be honest, many of your propositions are unrealistic. If we're to go ahead with, even, 30% of your posted ideas the level of hardship amongst the populace will rise to unprecedented levels. You are basically suggesting we hand our country over to foreign investors.

For instance, you suggested bringing in the Chinese to construct airports for us, and as a way of repaying the ensuing debt, we lease it out to them outright for a ten solid years. First, do you know what it cost to build a world standard airport like the Heathrows? Given the current revenue generated by our busiest airports, are you sure we'd be able to cover the spread in ten years? So, if we're unable to cover the spread what happens after?

Again, the minimum wage you proposed is beautiful but unrealistic too. Where would you get the money to finance that kind of minimum wage in a nation of over 150million people? Do you realize that with our current national earnings anything beyond N50k as MW would send our capital expenditure to zero? Even if the economy grows by 100% in the next 10 years we still will not be able to finance any MW that exceeds N70k. Sorry.

You seem to have thrown the main issues aside. Any change that doesn't deal with fundamentals will fail eventually. Our constitution is part of the fundamentals. That document should be the first port of call when effecting any meaningful change. The current one is anti-progress and serves only but a few. It is not a nationalistic constitution and as such it will make nonsense of any meaningful development we experience. We need a well thought out and patriotic legal document that will hold firm any effort we make to make progress or else, we'd simply be building castles in the sand.

Secondly, we must fight corruption to the barest minimum. Every single proposition you made up there will face a massive challenge when it comes face to face with the monster called corruption. We can't make progress when 70% of funds meant for a cause will be diverted to other cause outside its original cause. I'm amazed that the average Nigerian does not appreciate the level of hurt that corruption does to this nation. What's the use of pouring out money into sector after sector when the official who's supposed to monitor and enforce policy and ensure judicious use of funds would be the one to embezzle the said funds? Who's going to monitor the monitor? We must constitutionally kill corruption if we want any progress. Until we get to that point where a public official would be afraid to even think about embezzling a kobo in office, we've really not done much, I'm sorry. Do you know how much progress we would have made if our public officers were sincere with managing our finance even with our 'meagre' earnings currently?

We must take power off the exclusive list. That's the first place to start in any matter that concerns power improvements.

Let's do this one more time.







Like for Atiku, Share for Buhari.

Still haven't gotten past this stage of GTA San Andreas.

Interesting. You know, statistics like this one makes me question if we're truly 200 million people in this country.

The future of this nation evidently lie in the hands of the Youths. One day we will get it right and assume our place in the scheme of things of this nation and stop being used as tools in the hands of desperate politicians.

I plan to improve my prayer life and reading culture.

Good

most of the southsouth states if not all have the same problem of developing only the capital city.
Cross River only have Calabar to brag with,Rivers only have Port Harcourt and Bayelsa only have Yenegoa and Delta only have Asaba to brag with.
If you are in Anambra state,Awka is bubbling as well as Nnewi,Onitsha and ihiala.
But the southsouth states concentrate everything in the capital cities which is very bad

Wrong assertion. Except for the capital city, Rivers State also have thriving towns like: Ahoada, Eleme, Bori, Omagwa, Igwurata, Omoku, Bonny, to mention a few.

the company needs serious upgrade. He needs to start thinking global, not just only Nigeria. He should hire services of world renowned auto designers, introduce latest technology. Get a car stand at world auto shows like the Geneva Motor show where other car companies go to display their latest cars. Seriously he should forget about profit first and build a brand then watch how his business will boom. The igbo mentality of making profit should be put aside. He should learn from Volvo and how Volvo became a global brand.

First thing innoson must upgrade is that their drab and uncreative logo or crest. It's ugly.

Brilliant girl. You'll be like your father in the nearest future..

Why not just post your transcript and certificate and lay this matter to rest?

Rocking my Infinix. Next!!!

Another "baby" again?!! OK o..

I will never embark on a safari, with all these gory tales that keeps coming out on daily basis.. If it's not a Lion that's mauling someone, it a hippo, or a wild ox knocking someone out.

This is an exercise in futility. PDP is dead. I repeat, dead!

FC Ifeanyi Ubah is slowly becoming the BARCELONA of Nigerian football. Congratulations to the club.

I didn't understand a thing.

One barawo don chop him own finish, E don hand baton to another barawo. Mtchewww...

And see how beautiful she still looks. Some will apply four layers of makeup and look "beautiful". Soon after the wedding, the husband will file for divorce, reason being, he has been scammed.

Initially I had my doubts about Akinwunmi Ambode being an effective Governor. I must say he's been nothing short of awesome. Although there's still a lot more he can do I think, so far, he's on the right track and with his sustained determination Lagos will just be "that" city. Why always Lagos sef?? I'm jealous jor.



Proudly Rivers.

Wow. Nigeria..

OP, can I reach you by phone? I really need counsel from a person like you..

Ambode has really done well, even above my expectations. I really thought he was going to be a mere stooge and puppet of Tinubu. Obviously I was wrong. Lagosians are one lucky bunch.

And some died to ensure Seriake Dickson won a second term. I don't pity them, even for a minute.

Who wore the Army "khaki" better?

As for me, i believe wholeheartedly in the Lord Jesus Christ, and i am His proud follower...

Continue allowing demons to trick.you with Alien fiction until you accept d AntiChrist who will be destroyed at the appearing of the Lord

I am a firm follower of Christ and I also believe in the existence of ET. How does belief in the existence of ET affect one's stand with God? As a matter of personal opinion I feel that in the fullness of time God will allow us come in contact with super advanced humanoid beings(although not "in our likeness" who may be his devoted followers somewhere in the universe, to humble us. You know...

Google. Was looking for stuff there, saw the link and clicked. Topics on FP attracted me.

You watch Nollywood movies and wonder why the editor saw through his job. Do they even watch the movies before selling them?
