What is wrong with Nigeria is simple: - sharing of wealth - lack of basic infrastructure where anyone can earn and sustain a living (roads, electricity, water) - lack of literacy and as such many people are still without access to basic education - lack of healthcare to reduce comon ailments like malaria which reduce economic productivity - lack of discipline in our behaviours at work in terms of following processes by the book, auditing these processes and aiming for TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT ( too much manage manage, skimping and saving, short changing to max profits with no value added) The above means we cannot challenge our existing govt cos the divide is so far that they are unreachable and unaccountable. Nigerians need to wake up and gain what is rightly theirs, the fight is not with each other but a fight together for what is rightously ours. Enough said!! |
[color=#000099]Dear Fellow Nigerians, First of all, this is a POSITIVE message and not an opportunity for tribal/religious insults. With all the recent signs of instability and anger in Jos and other events to encourage a divide among religions and tribes, this is the IDEAL opportunity for us all to get together and set the presendence for ourselves and our children. All I ask if to put aside the immediate emotions and think clearly about what YOU can do differently to make a change? Have you recently reached out to your fellow man (not family and friends)? Have you thought about those in need? Have you thought about what you are contributing positively to this world? This is a non-religious forum but if you must know about me, I an an educated, professional, muslim female, born in Jos of Hausa-fulani background and grew up with Beroms as neighbours. I cannot imagine how we can see ourselves as a divided people? I have cousins who are half Beroms so go figure. Please respond by telling us all what are you doing TODAY to make a change? Fighting is never the answer especially in an already poverty stricken area. We need to uplift our men and women with positive empowerment. Lets set up micro-economic systems within the private sector, let us encourage enterprise, let us volunteer to educate, let us make a change, Thanks for reading my message. Stay blessed.[/b]Eve[/color][b][/color][color=#006600] |

Thanks David. Rome was not built in one day. Its not going to be easy workign with little infrastructure. But it is possible to make something of it. I agree about the music and movies industry. Censorship and standards will come. Just an example of revenue generating industries. I have many ideas that will come to fruition even when starting on a small scale. There are also friends of mine doing the same. We will continue and hopefully the 5 year plan to return permanently will result. Wishing you all a good week, Sookie |
Thanks for the comments and open dialogue this exchange has enccouraged. Some more food for thought is that yes I grew up in Nigeria during the introduction of SAP and can compare the better days and present time. Although I have been away for a while, I still keep in touch and can see, thankfully, from an objective point of view the issues faced by the country. Being an educated professional with an MSc in Public Health in developing countries, the statement that millionares will be made in Nigeria is not an isolated or selfish capitalist desire. It is an industry that can be created by the people for the people. Think about it. I am sure you agree with me that we cannot rely on the governemnt alone to build the economy but through private investments. This is beyong just financial through the stock markets (please understand that every Nigerian participates in the Nigerian stock market, although more prominent in the South) but also by using our business expertise and professional knowledge. When we are able to come together and unite, for the sake of progression, a better life and to generate an income things will change. I am financially driven but like every normal human being have personal commitments I am responsible for which means I do not work for charity. I will give you an example of such enterprise. What is to stop able Nigerian experts from forming a team that can execute a project in the private sector using venture capitalists? Let us stand up and be counted! You do not need oil to do that, or be in the government. Ideas we will bring to the country or develop from the country should be practical, self suffucient and revenue generating. That is how countries in the far east have prospered. Admittedly they have been more priviledged to have government incentives for the exportable commodities they produce. Why can't we look inwards and use the resources we have which in this case is the absolute desire for change and the knoweledge and experience that is in abundance. There are opportunities to drive change from within and as a people we have displayed this with the movies and music industry. Why not for other industries? Please do not dissect every sentence I write because I am not claiming to be an expert in economics or politics. Therefore, I am not here to make excuses for our leaders. People like myself that are thinking about returning home soon are aware that Nigeria is the only country where we can make a real difference in our careers and also reap true rewards for our efforts. It is sad that more of us do not think this way or are aware of opportunities in the country. The vision we all have should be the same and will be realized. In this way an economic revolution will come. |
Sorry to hear this. You are depressed. You need to find someone you trust who has a positive influence in your life and confide in. Talking helps. |
Thanks you BlackM for the support. We should stand together and be proud of each other. I have to come clean and admit that all the people I mantioned are not living in Nigeria. We all grew up mostly in the UK and US and plan on returning home within 3-5 years. Everything takes time and as far as the previous comment goes, everyone in Nigeira is the same when put in a position of power. It is not a Northern thing to 'chop' money or make oil deals etc. It is an unimaginative and uneducated mind that believes that money can only be made through oil in Nigeria. I hope we will be alive and well in the next 5 years because you will see millionaires made, amongst your peers both in the South and North when the true entrepreneurial culture becomes more established on a wider scale and our stock markets continue to prosper. Its really that simple, please do not hate. althought I am pure hausa/fulani I have in my family a mixture with first cousins from Ogbomosho. We need to get over ourselves and the tribal issues held by our parents generations. What is the purpose of being an adult if you are still living in your parents shadows? A very proud Nigerian. |
Hi All, I though I might enlighten you that not all Northerners are uneducated or non advocates of education and progression. For example, I am female, 30 years old Project Manager in Research. Another Northerner female studied aeronautical engineering, another is the youngest doctor training to be a Consultant Paediatrician in the UK. As for the men, I know CEO of IT companies, bankers, Chemical Engineers, Wireless Network Specialists, Defence Engineers, I mean the list goes on. The issue of almagirai is a long story which goes into culture, bad leadership, high fertility and poverty. Its a similar situation in Brazil. Hope that clears up things up. A very proud Nigerian. |
