Nairaland GeneralRestructuring: A Visit To Barkin Ladi/barkin Kogi Rail .(Photos) by Sunmolar(op):
Restructuring: A visit to Barkin Ladi/Barkin Kogi,Jos, plateau state.

Necessity they say is the mother of all inventions.This piece is borne out of the eyesore during a visit to Barkin Ladi. The in thing is adaptation for a lot of individuals as the earth revolves & situations in the world evolves. But in the course of adaptation & evolution,one needs to realize the price paid to get to this point & take a cursory look forward. Otherwise,bigger price will be paid in this technology age to maintain to what we've bargain & already paid for, without getting the required results,God forbid.

A journey to Barkin Ladi ignite me to write on the need to have a conservative approach to development even as technology driven economy is the order of the day. Let's imagine how much the federal government of old borrowed to building the moribund rail station shown below at Barkin Kogi,Jos. If we fail to restructure our mind as individuals, organizations,& governments the present rails being constructed may go same way of the old without continuity & maintenances


I don't want to be seen as myopic in my reasoning,so I will mention our attitudes of putting the cart before the horse in our approach to development.The developed countries didn't develop through rocket science. It's through gradual research, findings,& consistency of visions & efforts.A common sense thinking will finish ajaokuta steel complex before embarking on borrowing to finance the rail projects (mind you I'm not against the rail projects of the government of the day in entity)But putting the cart before the horse is the best in this age.If the steel complex is functional,some of the materials can be source locally including manpower, because Nigerian experts will be engaged. Instead of going out to import the technology & materials at higher cost. Engaging Nigeria youths will improve our productivity & GDP as a nation.A lot of cost will be saved, unemployment rate will reduce & development will be faster as obtained in the developed countries if juxtaposed.


Furthermore, paying heavily for expartraits to fix Nigeria is not the best option. What's the need for education?More opportunities should abound for Nigerian experts & engineers to encourage them. Their certificates is not just for exposition. I remembered vividly Nigeria and India was on same page as developing countries, but how far have we improve our technology & advancement compare to India?
It's high time we stop playing politics with our national life & be more proactive & productive.A governor will execute roads,bridges,& administrative projects & people will be singing their praises, when they can do greater things with tax payers money by building more industries, factories,mechanized farms, technology hubs etc. But politicians builds their political dynasty after scoring cheap points on road projects & the likes with inflated figures.The cost & energy expended on arsons during elections can be guided towards developing & harnessing a blue prints on the way forward.when the citizens are integrated through industrialization, development will come naturally. Because people will pay tax for government to engage in greater visions,Burj Dubai an example.the vision cost the government a lot,but in the end Dubai is at the center of tourism world over. It's no longer crude oil days. Let's change from waiting for FG allocations to awardi inflated contracts with a lot going to private account. Let's go back to basics, restructure our mindset,ego,status quo, & have visions towards coming out of the doldrums to a greater individuals, organizations & governments.

All the males in Midian had been killed. God doesn't want Israelites to lay with their wives. So the girls that haven't marry or had sex can be spared from deaths.

You simply don't have the numbers and have extinguished your goodwill in the south. grin

Fact 1: Yoruba voters have lost more elections than others at the polls.

Fact 2:No yoruba man has ever been president with yoruba votes.

Fact 3:No southern president has ever been president without majority southern votes (SE/SS, Old Eastern region) and yorubas don't have this as we speak.

Fact 4: Legitimization of yoruba presidential aspiration by grabbing the APC ticket means that zoning is dead and the North has the right to contest. You can't beat a North+SE+SS alliance in the present political dynamics.

Don't take my word for it. Go and do your research and come back. grin
If facts is all the criteria,Then you need the God factor.

Despite his eloquence when delivering speeches, the VP has remain resolute in keeping silence over political tussles & silence wars portrayed in some quarters.

There's is a calculated attempt by some power hungary politicians from East( a serving APC senator & a Governor) as event unfolds to scuttle any move of Osinbajo becoming a president. They're not too comfortable with his silence over some action from the president, which is making them feel uncomfortable that is body language is gearing towards positioning himself for any eventualities.

In a nutshell, they want him to speak out against some of the happenings in the presidency. But in other political climes like USA, I've not heard of the VP talking against Trump. does that mean he has no political ambitions.

Constructive criticism will help both the politicians & the electorate at large. But ethnocentric criticism will create more confusions in the polity.

It's not good to sit on the fence when you notice a wrong in a government...this is democracy, there's room for freedom of speech. but we don't have to stand aloof and bear grudges & hatred. one(especially those who had lived in glass house before)can write a letter to the state house to express his/her views on the government of the day. not belatedly though, when things is already getting out of hands.
