Every element of economic backwardness regarding Nigeria's oil resource curse is thoroughly exposed in the article. Mismanagement - Management structure: cost of governance, red tape/bureaucracy, nepotism, lack of skills, knowledge and ethics. Corruption and bureaucracy - Incoherent decision-making skills, ignorance, power, politics and control. Lack of accountability and transparency, responsibility and legal guidelines governing conducts in public offices. Theft - Money laundering, embezzlement, deception and false accounting. Depletion of resources, thus ignoring long-term growth opportunities - Since all eyes have been on the oil industry in Nigeria, whatever resources available will continue to be channelled to the sector to maintain productivity. On the other hand, other industries and sectors (SMEs included) are consistently ignored due to a lack of resources. As long as oil is produced and the money keeps going in to feed such production, the oil industry remains cyclical. Since all eyes are on the money, idiots will continue to ignore the necessary requirements for growth and development - infrastructure, jobs, industries, etc. Economic consequences: Inflation - increase in prices due to excessive demand. FUNNY TO THINK WE HAVE OIL IN ABUNDANCE! Poverty - you know the deal. Unemployment - you know the deal. Diversion of resources - Errr.... IBORI! Socio-political tension - Need I say more? Public awareness has a dramatic effect on the mindset of the rulers - paranoia, disillusions and pressure may lead to more poor decision making, affecting long-term strategic decisions (IF EVER THERE WAS ONE IN NIGERIA) Lack of governance - The fact that the incumbent president, under whose nose these atrocities happened, has peeled back like a Caribbean banana and continued to watch shows a disregard for the national constitution. The fact that he is a puppet doesn't make things any better either. I COULD CONTINUE TO CRITIQUE THE GUY BUT I CAN'T BE BOTHERED. Legal Consequences - Well, the Nigerian legal system is a joke anyway. This only heaps more shame on it. I COULDN'T BE MORE CONVINCED BY THE ARTICLE,PARTICULARLY THE RECOMMENDATIONS. I JUST WANT TO SAY TO SOME FOOLS WHO ALWAYS JUMP ON BOARD AFTER ARTICLES REGARDING NIGERIA ARE PUBLISHED, CLAIMING FLAWS IN DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS. YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT STATISTICIANS AND ANALYSTS ALWAYS ENDEAVOUR TO PROVIDE AS ACCURATE ANY PUBLICATIONS OR RESEARCH. IF YOU THINK THEY WAKE UP AND SUDDENLY DECIDE TO CONSTRUCT INFORMATION IN THEIR HEADS YOU MUST BE AN IGNORANT DREAMER. By the way, this is just one of the scams under Jonathan's administration. DOES HE ACTUALLY KNOW HE IS A PRESIDENT? He never looks convinced himself, does he? |
LeoMax: WHAT IS THE CRIME THIS PRESIDENT HAS COMMITTED ? STOP INSULTING A PRESIDENT WHO WAS VOTED IN MY MAJORITY IN THE BEST ELECTION IN NIGERIA HISTORY. NIGERIA'S PROBLEM IS DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE MILITARY AND HAUSA INDUCED CONSTITUTION WE USE. IF NIGERIA OPERATED ON TRUE FEDERALISM FROM INCEPTION, GEJ ADMINISTRATION WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST. WITH THE WAY OUR CONSTITUTION IS MANGLED, EVEN JESUS CHRIST OR MOHAMMMED, CAN NOT MAKE THIS COUNTRY WORK, INFACT MAKE JESUS CHRIST PRESIDENT AND MOHAMMED FINANCE MINISTER, IT WONT WORK, THE CENTRAL SOLUTION IS REVENUE SHARING FORMULAR, FEDERAL TAXABLE RESOURCE CONTROL IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED FOR EACH UNIT TO STAY ECONOMICALLY INDEPENDENT AND THE CENTER WILL BE LESS ENTICING. THE ROOT CAUSE OF BOKO HARAM AND MEND IS REVENUE SHARING, MY WORD AGAINST YOURS.Unfortunately, my friend, my eyes are prone to filtering dumb shyte like your comment. |
OYINBOGOJU: You had better allow the Bible comments to shape your decision .YOU'RE TWICE AS MAD AS JONATHAN IF YOU'RE BEING SERIOUS WITH YOUR COMMENT. FACEBOOK, BIBLE COMMENTS, FANTASIES, PLEASURES OR STUPIDITY SHOULD NOT SHAPE THE FOOL'S DECISIONS. YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT INTUITION, COGNITIVE THINKING AND HIS PERSONALITY (LEADERSHIP STYLE, OBVIOUSLY) SHOULD SHAPE THE FOOL'S DECISIONS. |
I CAN JUST PICTURE THE BRAINLESS LAWMAKERS STARING AT HIM AS HE SCHOOLED THEM LIKE CLUELESS DOGS ON HEAT. ILLITERATE PLONKERS. |
Chanchit: But u won't be that "1" person... Since u're ready to die for GEJ to complete his 7yrs in office..HOW THE HELL DID YOU MANAGE TO READ THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE TO BE ABLE TO REPLY TO THE MESSAGE?!!! ebgbest: gudluk wil nt step down 4 any body, even if iz only one pesin remaini in dis com3. He has 7more yrs 2go. |
mpumalanga: Even apartheid south africa was better than Nigeria before JONATHAN but those that benefited from the past want to blame JONATHAN the sameWHAT?!!! ![]() WHY THE F**K IS HE THE PRESIDENT AND NOT ACTING LIKE ONE IN TODAY'S 21ST CENTURY? I DON'T BLAME YOU OR YOUR FRIEND JONATHAN. WE'VE LACKED THE ESSENCE OF LEADERSHIP ANYWAY. JONATHAN IS JUST ANOTHER ALIEN FROM ODDWORLD: ABE'S ODDYSEE. |
D'OH!, AS HOMER SIMPSON WOULD SAY! ALL MEN ARE BORN OF WOMEN THUS, THERE IS NO DOUBT, AS MUCH AS THE PEOPLE GOT FED UP WITH HIS LEADERSHIP STYLE, HE WANTED THE BEST FOR HIS COUNTRY WHICH HE DID GIVE THE CITIZENS. HE SPREAD THE NATION'S WEALTH DEVELOPING THE COUNTRY. SHAME ABOUT THE MANNER IN WHICH HE MET HIS MAKER. I DO NOT SEE ANY REASON TO COMPARE POPEYE TO GHADAFFI FIRST OF ALL. |
Revealedtv: Who knows maybe Jonathan is the worst president we have had. Maybe it doesn't matter too that people have forgotten that Nigeria has held captive by murderous, corrupt military rulers for more than 30 years. Yet, let us not forget one thing: the situation of events that brought Jonathan to power. It was only yesterday that YarAdua died...let's us remember how the North kept the VP in the shadows, how Dora kept fumbling on words because she too was kept in the dark, how some pple kept the president hidden and claimed it was he who signed the bill, how the word cabal became common place in our vocab...I can go on an on...the point I am trying to make is these enemies of Nigeria haven't died yet. If you will give an incumbent president that king of trouble what is to stop these people from trying to destablize the polity or to rubbish the name of the man in question? Who is sponsoring Boko Haram? Boko haram is all around me" what did the president really mean by this statement? People may ask, so why doesn't he rat them out? In my opinion, I think Nigeria is too diverse for that kind of response. How do single out a cabal of offenders from a particular tribe without raising brows or heating up the polity? It takes a man who doesn't give a shilt about consequences. The man isn't perfect and I think he means well...Have we all forgotten so soon? The reason we rallied around him during the election? Pray for your president. Pray for NigeriaF**K YOU. YOU CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR YOUR PRESIDENT AND NIGERIA. MIND YOU, YOUR LAST SENTENCE WAS ALL I COULD MAKE OUT IN YOUR TOPIC. |
NO COMMENT AS MUCH AS I WOULD GENUINELY LIKE TO MAKE ONE. HONESTLY. |
PROUD-IGBO:PLEASE ENLIGHTEN THE FOOLISH OP. |
mjconcept: You cooked a nice soup only to add too much salt in itJonathan is the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, not a half-arsed puppet. Actually, he IS a half-arsed puppet. |
asudan: This is not d first time this happening and most of u r pointing finger @ GEJ.In d first place y wil d airport depend on PHCN knowing fully well dat there is bound to be power failure.pls leave GEJ and Nnaji alone they r not d cause of what happen-it has been inherited fro previous government.Those barking,if given an opportunity,u would do worst than others cos u will be tempted.THERE IS BOUND TO BE POWER FAILURE IN YOUR FATHER'S VILLAGE, NOT MINE. IT IS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT TO LIVE WITH ABUNDANT POWER SUPPLY. IT IS NOT A GIFT, BUT A GIVEN. ILLITERATE AND IGNORANT BASTARD. LIKE SOMEONE MENTIONED, give up the excuse and take action. verifiable, feasible and transparent action |

RUBBISH. RUBBISH. ANOTHER IGNORANT TALK. NO, I SHOULD BE POINTING MY FINGERS TO THE SKY, NOT AT THOSE IN CHARGE OF MAINTAINING LAW AND ORDER. YOU'RE A FOOL AT IT. SO THE AIRPORT SHOULD NOT DEPEND ON THEIR GOVERNMENT FOR ADEQUATE ELECTRICITY, RATHER, THEY SHOULD PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES? F**ING IGNORANT TW@T. CONTINUE TO DECEIVE YOURSELF AND JUSTIFY YOUR CONSCIENCE BY BLAMING THE PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT. I WONDER WHY NEW GOVERNMENTS ARE ELECTED IF THAT WAS THE CASE. THOSE BASTARDS IN POWER (INCLUDING YOUR FATHER JONATHAN), SHOULD FIX UP, WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE... |
maclatunji: I have being toying with you, I was being sarcastic- you sabi yab small sha.I DO NOT INTEND TO "YAB". MY INTENTION WAS TO ENLIGHTEN MY FELLOW NIGERIANS THAT SOME THINGS HAVE BECOME UNACCEPTABLE BY ANY STANDARD IN NIGERIA AND WE SHOULD NOT OVERLOOK THE SMALL DETAILS BECAUSE IGNORING THE BIGGER DETAILS WOULD PRESENT EVEN BIGGER PROBLEMS FOR THE COUNTRY. THAT'S ALL. |
LeoMax: ELEVATORS TRAPPING IS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE DURING POWER OUTAGE, WHATS THIS OUTRAGE ABOUT ?SO YOU'RE INDIRECTLY SAYING POWER OUTAGE IN NIGERIA IS NORMAL WHATEVER COMES WITH IT SHOULD BE DEEMED NORMAL ALSO? ELEVATORS BREAKING DOWN OR HOUSES WITHOUT ADEQUATE POWER SUPPLY? RUBBISH. POWER SUPPLY SHOULD BE CONSISTENT AND EQUALLY DISTRIBUTED, NOT A PRIVILEGE. THE OUTRAGE IS THAT THE POWER ISSUE IN THE NATION IS NOT DOMESTIC ANY MORE IF INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS ARE AFFECTED. RATHER, IT IS BECOMING AN INTERNATIONAL CALAMITY. FOR THE POWER OUTAGE TO AFFECT MMIA, THAT RUBS MORE SALT TO NIGERIA'S ALREADY INFESTED INJURY! LACK OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AND BASIC MAINTAINANCE WITH AN OBVIOUS DISREGARD FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY. DON'T MAKE EXCUSES. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS. |

SHAME HE'S TOO SCARED OF NAIRALANDERS' COMMENTS WHERE THE SENSIBLE TRUTHS HURT. HE MAY AS WELL SEEK ADVICE FROM ZUCKERBERG HIMSELF. |
maclatunji: What an insult to the President of the country with the largest concentration of black people in the world. The President should be trapped in the elevator? It is only lowly people that do not know their place that end-up getting trapped in elevators. The Nigerian President must live large and not suffer any inconvenience; he is a 'big fish' in Africa and the world. Even if he wastes money, is it your money? This man is making me angry today, how can anyone hate GEJ. He is man that was without shoes and became President. He has more good luck than your bad belle can cover. He is transforming Nigeria- you are one of the detractors I was even talking about- Nonsense.It seems to me that you know everything but understand nothing. An insult? What insult? That I meant if the president wasn't there he would never have understood the distress and frustration witnessed by the victims? You should be able to differentiate an insult from a suggestion my friend. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT IF JONATHAN WASTES THE NATION'S MONEY, IT IS LEGALLY MY MONEY AND I AM RIGHTFUL TO CHALLENGE HIS EXPENSES AT THE EXPENSE OF THE NATION. NO WONDER HE'S SPENDING BILLIONS OF MY MONEY ON LAVISH MEALS. PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF, WITH THE BELIEF THAT SINCE YOU'RE NOT IN POWER, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE BASIC RIGHTS TO A STANDARD OF LIVING, WILL CONTINUE TO SQUANDER IN SELF-PITY WHILE THESE GUYS CONTINUE TO PILFER YOUR ENTITLEMENTS AND A RIGHT TO BE GOVERNED APPROPRIATELY. It's a shame he is transforming Nigeria BECAUSE THERE IS STILL NO ELECTRICITY NATIONWIDE AS WE SPEAK. MATHEMATICALLY, NO ELECTRICITY = NO ENERGY = NO ELEVATOR WORKING = SHAME ON ONE OF NIGERIA'S INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT = LESS REVENUE = ECONOMIC BACKWARDNESS. NONSENSE. I WONDER WHY PEOPLE ARE VERY SENSITIVE TO JONATHAN BEING CRITIQUED. YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH A POLITICIAN, NOT POLITICS. |
maclatunji: This is Nigeria, we are different. Haven't you seen people saying they don't enter elevators in Nigeria? Those people were being fancy, Nigeria is marching forward whether you like it or not- if you like next time you see an elevator in Nigeria, enter it! We have our own unique Nigerianess. We no send you or anybody- at least we are the giant of Africa.YOUR OWN UNIQUENESS INDEED - WHICH IS NOT HAVING FUNCTIONAL ELEVATORS?!! SINCE WHEN DID ELEVATORS BECOME "FANCY"? THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. NOT HAVING ELEVATORS SHOULD NOT BE DEEMED "UNIQUE". ELEVATORS SHOULD BE THE SMALLEST OF ISSUES MY FRIEND. IF YOU WANT TO MENTION UNIQUENESS, THERE ARE A MILLION WAYS TO DO SO. THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE AIRPORT, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE, TIME MANAGEMENT, THE AVAILABILITY OF FACILITIES AND THE WAITING TIMES AT THE AIRPORT. THAT'S UNIQUENESS. HEATHROW AIRPORT OFFICIALS ARE CURRENTLY FACING CRITICISM BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE WAITING TIMES EXPERIENCED BY NON-EU NATIONALS. NOW, THAT IS A PROBLEM. NOT BLOODY ELEVATORS NOT WORKING BECAUSE, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, ELEVATORS ARE STANDARD. STANDARD. STANDARD. NOT UNIQUE. UNIQUE. UNIQUE. LIKE I SAID, EVERYTHING ANY OTHER COUNTRY SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED ABOUT SEEMS TO BE THE NORM IN NIGERIA. THIS IS MURTALA MOHAMMED INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, NOT CHRIST THE KING LOCAL FREIGHTS. GET REAL. |
maclatunji: Nonsense, this is the work of detractors who don't want President Goodluck Ebele Azikwe Jonathan to succeed because he won a free and fair selection, next thing is for them to call for a probe and sacking of Ministers. Is it only in Nigeria that elevators fail? The people could have taken stairs now, but No! They wanted to copy Oyinbo man style. Do they even have elevators in their houses? GEJ is moving forward, elevator or no elevator.Detractors?! What detractors?! You're as ignorant as ignorance gets. You sound like the President's b**ch! The people could have taken the stairs?! Next time you set off for work, I'd advise you to swim to your destination rather than get on the road! If the passengers choose to use a bloody elevator, what is your problem? Should the elevators be there, which they are, isn't it only right that they do what they are there for? Or have elevators become a tourist attraction in Nigeria? "Hey, this one works! Let's take a picture of it!" WHAT NONSENSE! "They want to copy Oyinbo man style". You're quite a two-faced fudge! I'm sure you despise the oyinbo way of living you still walk around naked with leaves covering your modesty. Elevators do not fail in Nigeria only but this is a bloody INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, YEAH? YEAH? GET THAT INTO YOUR CUSTARD-INFESTED SKULL! Even the bloody elevators in domestic airports should work, let alone international ones. Actually, only in Nigeria do elevators fail because other countries know how embarrassing it would be to their reputation and economy if there was a power failure at their airports. In Nigeria, we are immune to embarrassments. We take them as compliments, if anything. That's why the elevator which broke down will still not be fixed until something major occurs. Even if something major was to occur, knowing Nigeria, there will be ways around it. Personally, I think you should make yourself aware of the concepts of health and safety, quality control and risk management. Maybe you should pass these concepts on to you honourable friend Jonathan who seems to wake up everyday without knowing his position in the country. Until then, elevator or not, your president seems to be on a roller coaster journey (shame he wasn't caught up in the elevator madness. He wouldn't know about that anyway, would he?) |

Never mind the mass wedding. $95 to start up a business?! ![]() |
Nigeria should be treated as a business entity, not a country or state. Mismanagement by managers should be challenged. They need to be shaken up. Why create more states when the states we have are nothing to write home about? The names of the states alone are quite dodgy anyway. They should merge the businesses (states) together with different zones and departments. Obviously, they would need to cut costs and reduce the cost of governance itself. That way, there is a re-established management structure with each individual/department remaining responsible and accountable for their acts while working towards the organisational goals - in this case, bettering the merged states. With 36 businesses (states) spread around the country, we could consolidate the businesses, making them easier to manage. The businesses should not be dependent on the environment, rather, the environment depends on them. Once the states are merged and there are investments in infrastructure including good roads, electricity, communication, etc, then competition amongst local industries/sectors begins and there is a different type of environment. That way, domestic competition continues to exist and in the process, there is economic growth and development. Business policies addressing governance (code of conduct, ethics, legal issues, security, development... and the rest) should be imposed. In the states case, the lawmakers are deemed professional at all times, some rules should be followed to monitor behaviours and people owe an obligation to the business (state) to realise the business's goals. That way, there is a level of control, transparency, accountability, authority and a defined level of governance for the merged businesses (states). Each business (state) has the right to implement its policies according to the environment and its wishes to mould such environment to its advantage. They should be a two-tier governance level (STATE AND FEDERAL). SCRAP THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT STUFF! THAT DOES NOT HELP THINGS IN NIGERIA RIGHT NOW. THERE IS A NEED TO SHED THE "LOCAL GOVERNMENTS" BECAUSE THAT IS AN UNNECESSARY CHAIN OF COMMAND. THE STATE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE AFFAIRS OF THE LOCAL PEOPLE DIRECTLY AND IN COMMUNICATIVE WAYS. THE STATE SHOULD HAVE A CENTRALIZED DEPARTMENT FOR LOCAL AFFAIRS - NOT "LOCAL GOVERNMENTS". THERE DEFINITELY WOULD BE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST IF THERE ARE TOO MANY CAPTAINS ON ONE SHIP!!! Each business entity (state) reports to the Headquarters (Federal Government - the President and a FEW ADVISERS to make sound and logical decisions which should enhance the objectives of the businesses (states). There also should be a level of corporation between each business (state), regardless of the ethnicity, religion, sex, disability, age and values. There should be no room for discrimination. Everyone is working towards a common goal. As a business (state), it is essential to seek ways to be innovative and creative in order to remain competitive. Ideas should be shared amongst states. Business opportunities should always be explored and investigated for the long-term benefits of the business. Continuous personal and organisational development must be sought AT ALL TIMES. THIS INCLUDES PRACTISING GOOD EMPLOYEE RELATIONS, WELFARE, COMPETITIVE WAGES, CAREER DEVELOPMENT, HEALTHCARE INSURANCE, TRADE UNION MEMBERSHIP, FRINGE BENEFITS AND BLAH...BLAH. IN OTHER WORDS, FOR THE STATE, THIS TRANSLATES TO THE STATE PROVIDING BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS AND GOOD CITIZENS' WELFARE, THUS, BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS WHICH SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY OBSERVED AND IMPLEMENTED!!! The businesses should continue to provide job opportunities and benefits to several STAKEHOLDERS. That way, there is a win-win situation for both the business (profitability) and employees (job security, social benefits etc). This, to the states, translates to providing good governance, adhering to human rights and providing good standards of living for its citizens. UNTIL THESE POLITICIANS CONTINUE THEIR POLITICKING, IGNORING THE FACT THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL ISSUES PREVENTING GOOD GOVERNANCE OF NIGERIA, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO IGNORE THEIR SENSE OF LOGICAL THINKING WITH REGARDS TO MANAGING A BUSINESS ENTITY. YES, POLITICS AND BUSINESS ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS BUT POLITICIANS AND BUSINESSMEN ALWAYS AIM FOR THE AIM GOALS: GOOD GOVERNANCE(LAWS VS. BUSINESS CONDUCTS, SUSTAINABILITY (MAKING PROFITS VS MANAGING RESOURCES) AND LEGACY/REPUTATION (CUSTOMER LOYALTY VS. PERSONAL RECOGNITION). UNTIL THEN, I DO NOT SEE REASONS TO CREATE MORE STATES WHEN WE FAIL TO MANAGE THE ONES WE HAVE. |
too_badoo: what is your own with this man always you are always analysing his earnings or estimating his wealth abeg just free the man please |

WHEN THEY SAY THEY ARE GOING TO CREATE JOBS THEY MEAN THEY WILL CREATE THE QUOTED NUMBER OF JOBS AS GHOST WORKERS SO THEY CAN CLAIM THEIR SALARIES AND BENEFITS. INGLORIOUS BASTERDS... |
F**K THAT! WHAT A SHAME. THE POLICE IN THE UK SHIIT THEMSELVES EVERYDAY BECAUSE THEY WORK IN SUCH A MULTICULTURAL ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE WRONG MOVE MAKES ONE SHIIT THEIR PANTS. IN NIGERIA, COPPERS ARE BEATING UP A FELLOW COPPER BECAUSE OF £20!!!! £20?!!!! AND SOME FOOL ON ANOTHER THREAD IS NOT CONVINCED NIGERIA DOESN'T RANK SECOND IN THE WORLD IN ROAD ACCIDENT FATALITIES ??!!! AS MUCH AS I LOVE MY COUNTRY, EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS WRONG. IT'S SOOO BAD THAT JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF COULD BE IN NIGERIA AND I WOULDN'T BELIEVE HIM EVEN IF I HAD SEEN HIM DESCENDING FROM HEAVEN!!! F**K THAT. SCRAP THE NIGERIAN POLICE FORCE WITH THEIR DIRTY BLACK UNIFORM ANYWAY!!! ACTUALLY, SCRAP NIGERIA OFF THE FACE OF THE BLOODY EARTH IF NEED BE BECAUSE WE'RE NOWHERE NEAR CHANGES EVEN IF LIFE ON EARTH WAS GUARANTEED ANOTHER EXISTENCE FOR 2,000,000 YEARS!!! WE'RE WORSE THAN MOGADISHU IN SOMALIA AND THE MILITANT-INFESTED SUDAN, CONGO, SIERRA LEONE AND UGANDA. TO THINK WE LIVE IN A CIVILISED AND DEMOCRATIZED COUNTRY. MADNESS ![]() |

amosy007: All this stupiid statistics that always put nigeria on every bad list really need to be checked.. Sometimes i wonder who,where and when was d survey carried to put nigeria top of everybad list.. Imagine i read on vanguard dat (1millions nigerians are blind!) not only that. There was even a time they said "nigeria is number one country that have sex(fvcks) alot in the whole world.. How can that be possible when we have america with the biggest p0rn network in the world not forgetin china and india...MATE, EVERY STATISTIC ABOUT NIGERIA IS SO RIGHT I COULD GOUGE OUT MY EYES TO BACK UP THE STATISTICS. I THINK YOU'RE IGNORANT OF THE FACT THAT WE HAVE SOME OF THE WORSE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE WORLD. FOR YOUR INFORMATION, OPPORTUNITY COSTS FOR NIGERIAN BUSINESSES ARE MOSTLY LOST DUE TO POOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND POOR TRANSPORTATION. IN ADDITION TO POOR ROADS AND MODES OF TRANSPORTATION, THE ATROCITIES COMMITTED BY UNLEARNED AND ILLOGICAL DRIVERS CONTINUE TO HEAP MORE SHAME ON THE TRANSPORTATION SECTOR OF THE COUNTRY. DON'T YOU FORGET THAT ANY TOM, DICK AND HARRY CAN DRIVE A CAR IN NIGERIA WITHOUT RELEVANT CHECKS AND/OR DOCUMENTATIONS. I'M SURE YOU DIDN'T THINK OVERCAPACITY AND A LACK OF STATISTICAL AWARENESS IS KILLING NIGERIA. WHY WON'T WE RANK SECOND WHEN THERE ARE POSSIBLY 160,000,000 CARS ON ROADS DESIGNATED FOR 50,000,000 CARS? (JUST A ROUGH EXAMPLE)... YOU DO THE MATHS. EVEN THOSE ASSIGNED TO PROTECT AND IMPLEMENT THE SAFETY OF OUR ROADS ARE ALL CORRUPT MOFOS I CAN'T EVEN BE BOTHERED TO COMMENT ON THEM. MATTER OF FACT, APART FROM SUDAN, SOMALIA AND A FEW OTHER COUNTRIES IN AFRICA, FOR A "CIVILISED" AND "...DEMOCRATIZED" COUNTRY, NIGERIA RANKS THE WORSE IN ANYTHING COMPARABLE. CORRUPTION? CHECK. BUREAUCRACY? CHECK. POOR INFRASTRUCTURE (BAD ROADS, LACK OF ELECTRICITY, WATER SUPPLY)? CHECK. ILLITERACY? CHECK. A STATIC MINDSET? CHECK. POOR GOVERNANCE AND MISMANAGEMENT? CHECK. COST OF DOING BUSINESS? CHECK .... I COULD GO ON AND ON. DID YOU KNOW THAT YOUR COST OF DOING BUSINESS IN NIGERIA IS TWELVE TIMES HIGHER THAN THAT OF SOUTH AFRICA, GHANA AND OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES? THE MAJOR REASONS? POOR INFRASTRUCTURE, ELECTRICITY COSTS AND POOR MODES OF TRANSPORTATION COUPLED WITH BAD AND NON-ACCESSIBLE ROADS. OH, DID I MENTION SOME OF THESE ROADS HAVE BEEN SO POORLY MANAGED SINCE THE THREE WISE MEN DISCOVERED THE LOCATION OF CHRIST? HAVE YOU SEEN THE EFFECTS OF RAINFALL AND EROSION ON SOME OF THE NIGERIAN ROADS IN THE EASTERN PART OF THE COUNTRY? OR THE FACT THAT MASSIVE LORRIES CONTINUE TO CAUSE EITHER PHYSICAL DAMAGES (INJURIES, DEATHS, ETC.) OR INFRASTRUCTURAL DAMAGES (IMAGINE THE STRESS CAUSED ON THE ROADS BY THE SIZE OF THESE LORRIES WITHOUT MAINTENANCE. DON'T FORGET ABOUT POLLUTION TOO!). AHHH.... I JUST REMEMBERED THE OVERLOADING OF BOTH GOODS AND PEOPLE. I'M SURE YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT ONE. AHHH.... EMERGENCY SERVICES? I'M SURE THE RESPONSE RATE OF OUR EMERGENCY SERVICES IS ONE OF THE MOST ENVIABLE IN THE WORLD (SYKE!!!) STATISTICIANS DO NOT MAKE UP STATISTICS BY GUESSING OR USING THE RULE OF THUMBS. THEY CARRY OUT IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS AND COMPARE THEIR FINDINGS VIGOROUSLY. SO YES, THE FINDINGS DO NOT LIE. YOU CAN EITHER ACT EDUCATED AND CONVINCED BY THE FINDINGS OR REMAIN IGNORANT AND ILL-ADVISED BY THE THOUGHTS IN YOUR HEAD. I HOPE IT'S THE FORMER. |
I have not lost faith in Nigeria. Rather, I have lost faith in its leaders and policy makers. Until these individuals are no more, I do not see any rehabilitative measures that could possibly restore an atom of faith in Nigeria and its citizens. I suppose the question should be, "Have you given up on Nigerian policy makers and politicians/rulers?". My answer to that would be a fat YES. But as for giving up on Nigeria, I haven't personally given up on Naija because I believe that, irrespective of our history of corruption, mismanagement and lack of integrity, if Nigeria is ruled by competent individuals with sound academic and practical understanding of governance, international affairs/relations, diplomacy, ethics, sustainability and society, there should be reasons to believe Nigeria will be one of the admirable countries in the world. Until then, I continue to hope that change will come to Nigeria. Momentarily, I have not given up on Nigeria. However, if events continue to unfold as they have been lately, I may just give you a different answer... |

.Gej can't oversee all the projects been executed you should blame those under him they are the one subjecting us to all these sufferings.
