It is not only NNPC that is the problem.If the system is to be sanitised,many people fathers and mothers in ministries and parastatals would be out of jobs. Those that really do the work in government establishments are not upto 25%, the rest are sit warmers that get paid monthlies. 2 Likes |

Tokskob2008: “Because they were not educated the voters could not make up their own choices. Rather, the innocent people of the North had to be dictated to by Emirs and the elites who feed them on a regular basis whereas in the Western Region, people could argue with their Obas, could read manifestos and make an independent choice which party and which politicians to vote for. Unfortunately, all my efforts to liberate the North from the cruel jaws of the oligarchy were frustrated by those who prefer the status quo to a new dawn of educational advancement. You can see that even now, the educational gap between the North and South is increasing by leaps and bounds. All the talk about catching up is non-sense…how can you catch up with somebody who is running while you are crawling?” 5. “But I think that the sooner than later the leaders of the North will see the repercussion of their selfishness and carelessness in their attitude towards Western education.

MadPolitician: ”In 1959, during the election that was to usher in independence in 1960, I embarked on an elaborate campaign in the North. I was using helicopter to campaign in every nook and corner of the North. The most important aspect of the campaign of the Action Group was free education, life more abundant for the generality of the people etc, etc. Our manifesto was centred on the development of man. We worked so hard that the Sardauna of Sokoto, Ahmadu Bello, was forced to campaign, a thing he was never used to. My hope at that time was to liberate the North from illiteracy, ignorance and the ranka dede mentality. If I had won the election, I would have put a lot of money educating the North in order to bridge the educational gap between that region and the Western and Eastern Regions. This was because I saw the lack of education as a stumbling block against political enlightenment of the whole region 35 Likes 4 Shares |

Politics / Re: Naira Slumps Against Dollar Amid Fuel Price Hike by tommy589(m): 9:08am On Sep 04 |
nairalanda1: Those first generation Nigerian industrialists attracted investment when incentives were there and Naira to Dollar was good. 1.6 billion Naira and other added expenses is needed to get a machinery valued at 1MUSD. How many risk takers are out there? Maybe small production of manufactured goods as I see it. What this nation was designed for is to export agricultural crops. We should just go back to our agro economy of pre 70s and what SAP intended for us. This is what the westerners want or |
Politics / Re: Naira Slumps Against Dollar Amid Fuel Price Hike by tommy589(m): 7:47am On Sep 04 |
nairalanda1: I am a layman but where are the Made in Nigeria goods to buy? Let's look at the textile industry,it used to be the largest employer of labour in Nigeria but not a single factory exist in Nigeria again. Cotton farmers were fully engaged providing the raw materials for production. We are now dependent on textile importation. Do our farmers have what it takes to compete with Vietnamese or Chinese farmers? What do we have to attract the Pakistani,Indians and korean investors back,when fuel and electric subsidy is like no more. It is this same problem in Tobacco/cigarette production. The effects of introduction of SAP is what we are still contending with after 38 years. I am a business owner and sometimes textbooks is not where to get the solution 1 Like |

Biodun556: It was one step at a time.The ground work was ongoing before his death.Abacha would have introduced GSM if death did not come calling. He brought CDMA technology that preceded GSM,this ended Nitel monopoly. Multi link, intercellular were some of the private telecommunications companies in operation before Obasanjo GSM of 2001. Agreed,GSM is for the rich and poor 8 Likes 4 Shares |
