Daverytimes: The heck are you talking about, when i said reading is fundamental i was referring to myself. I failed to read the headline which is why i asked why mexico (which is a country that is very dangerous) was not included, withing the first page i realized my mistake and replied accordingly. remember my comment was "Reading is fundamental i know, but it also applies to you", when i said "i know" it was obviously directed at myself, when i said "but it also applies to you" it should be obvious that i was referring to you. The reason being that i had responded to a comment exactly like yours and it was only a post above yours which is why i concluded the reply by saying "take a look above your comment would you?". Your reply has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion at hand

Daverytimes: 60,000 people have died in the Mexican drug war in the last 5 years but it doesn't make the list? 20,000 died in Nigeria in a span of a decade but that makes the list? fucking idiots.

Gbawe: @OP

There is no need for a list.

The main problem of Nigeria is our retrogressive federal structure that encourages everyone to loot profligately , once "na our turn", and discourages/erodes the notion of national pride.

I think, in this day and age, there are vast advantages to our unity and togertherness we should not throw away frivolously because Nigerians, first and foremost, are given to always seeking solutions that prevent us from clashing with our leaders to demand what we all know will surely bring the change we want.

The PDP , through the actions of its politicians who are the most powerful and influential in the land, has caused all Nigeria's problems since 1999. It is uselesss, for example, expecting a potent PIB quickly under a pro-elite and anti-people senate President such as David Mark. It is inane expecting aggressive and brave reforms under gradualists like Yar Adua and GEJ who never aspired to be President let alone know what to do with the position. It is reduntant expecting to see a Nigeria that works for everyone under OBJ - the ultimate opportunist given to an oligarchic style that enriches and empowers a few stupendously with majority of Nigerians settling for mere 'tokens'.

What Nigerians must try to do is come together to support the emergence of a brave and equitable President who will be an enabler of progress rather than a stumbling block to development as we have had for the past 13 years under the PDP.

Under such a President, especially if he puts a genuinely transformational team together, we will see or can demand things that will vastly accelerate the progress of Nigeria, stimulate growth and encourage healthy competition through States and region taking advantage of a truly level playing field. Under such a team, the federal government, for once, can be an enabler of progress instead of the destroyer of development it has been for the past 13 years.

Issues that will aid development will include:

Constitution amendment to tackle the many issues PDP Governments currently pretend the constitution prevents them from tackling e.g GEJ's pathetic announcement that "leaner Government not possible" because of constitutional provisions. Man makes the law and not the other way round. A reforming President will know that man must not be held captive by amendable laws.

A look at sincere and brave reform of the Police force to improve security. We all know inward flow of Investments, tourism et al suffer when security is poor. We need leaders who will place the security of Nigeria as a non-negotiable priority instead of those, first and foremost, driven by the notion of keeping our NPF as it is so they gain a force they can always control and use partisanly. This idea, simplistically, will benefit many public organisations because it is about making institutions stronger and thus ensuring they deliver as orignally concieved.

Genuine privatisation of the Power sector with an uncompromised committment to dealing with anyone who constitutes their own personal interest into a stumbling block against that of a Nation in an age adequate electricity is virtually taken for granted worldwide.

A sincere reform of our oil and gas sector that will first involve leaders looking at the sector as a way to vastly and aggressively improve the fortunes of Nigeria instead of a method of stupendous personal self-aggrandizement. Sincerity of leadership, for example, would have seen the PIB emerge long ago to be serving Nigeria's interest as we speak instead of the reality we all accept feebly.

A comprehensive overhaul of the education sector is in order too. Nothing predisposes a nation to failure more than a poorly educated adult population unable to think critically, troubleshoot and provide solutions plus challenge misrule unanimously and effectively.

There are many others and I will add more later.

Aarenaija: This is too mush sir. they are law makers and came from different
backgrounds, so, that have not make
them lesser than Soludo please. They are also experts in their own field (Many of them).
You too can become a member someday as a Nigerian. Just that some of them are corrupt
and we should not generalize.

You are what we refer to as 'belushians' and they usually die young.
