Nigerian's Is Time To Act by 9jacanchange: 8:35am On Jul 15, 2020
NIGERIAN'S IS TIME TO ACT


Alot of scholars and individuals have tried to analyse Nigeria and her problems, some have gone ahead to give profound solutions but yet nothing has changed, rather situations in Nigeria are getting worse day by day.
I have come to realize these scholars and individuals failed to show us the steps and procedures in getting these profound solutions, they tell us what we should do for development and not how we can do it,to achieve it, I will liken this to a mathematician who gives u an answer to a problem and not show u how to get the answer.
Looking closely and deeper into Nigeria, it seems Nigeria is never going to be better because we really don't know how to go about these problems, or we really do not know what the problem is, we keep talking about tribalism, religion, corruption, illiteracy, underdevelopment, I beg to say they are not really the problem, they are just symptoms of the problem, these things afflict us as a result of a problem.


What then is the problem? There are some questions we really need to ask ourselves that will point us to what the problem is, questions like.

1, why is religion and tribalism a problem in Nigeria? ( Should it really be a problem)?

2, who are those that benefits from these tribal & religious wars and hatred, ( the leaders or the citizens)?


3, who are does that subtly plaint these tribal and religious bombs of hatred into our minds( the leaders or the citizens)

4, who benefits more when goods and services are imported more than exported, when corruption is a way of life in our society ( the leaders or the citizens)

5, why is it that a culture of, tribalism, nepotism, corruption, lack of interest in politics, selfishness, fear of the government, has been created?( Who created it? And who gains more from this culture?, The leaders or the citizens)?

These are the questions and many more we should ask ourselves and think deeply about them.
Will our nation ever get better if we keep thinking it will change one day, without working to make it happen?
An average Nigeria is not concerned about the society as long as he can pursue his career and get it, as long as he has money and can provide for his own needs, he doesn't care if another person is going hungry because of how badly the society is being run, they don't care if anyone is going through an injustice or brutality in the hands of those that should be protecting them, they are comfortable seeing abnormalities in the society. A society each and every one of us have a responsibility to. This is an attitude that have grown in us as a result of an environment that have been created by some people, and this attitude have turned into a way of life, it is now a culture for Nigerian's to care less about the government and how the society is being run, you will hear them say, is none of my business on how these old men run the country, who told you that? What the government has to do or plan to do have alot to do with you, cos it affects an aspect of your life one way or the another, so when we don't care about the government or how the country is run, when we don't get actively involved we are doing ourselves more harm than good.
Acting not concerned is not going to take away our problems or is it going to stop it, infact there is no amount of money you will have that will make this problem stop being a problem it is only going to make you comfortable in the problem, but it won't change it. We have talked enough, talking is not solving the issue, it's high time we started acting, we all need to get involved now, challenge the system, hold our leaders responsible of their works and deeds, challenge some laws, police brutality e.t.c, there is nobody that is going to do it for us, God or Allah is not going to come down and do it, human factor is needed, and waiting for other nations to come fight our fight, is stupidity, nor are those same people who are the problem, going to change all of a sudden without something or someone compelling them, it's still going to fall back to the citizens, the reasonable one's, those that are truly tired of how things are run in Nigeria and desperately needs change, those that are ready to use any means necessary,those who are ready to take responsibilities that can change the cause of this nation, we have hoped for long, we have prayed for long, we have waited for long, if nothing is done,change will not come, things will infact keep getting worse. It's high time we started making demands from our leaders, it's time we started making them hear our voices and not just hear it but consider it , and not just to consider it but do something about our needs.

Remember if nothing is done about our current situations, it will only, surely get worse. If you feel that you can help change the direction and cause of our nation, if you feel you have a part to play to help make our nation great, please inbox me through my mail. It's a movement. Thanks.

Nigeria's problem is both fundamental and hereditary. It is passed from father to son, godfather to godson, and the invisibly handed over from one regime to another.

If we can administer the Rawlings treatment, we may only reduce corruption but open a new Vista of hatred worst than that which led to the civil war.

The best maybe to go each other's way.

first and foremost, going our separate ways is no way to solve or fight the common enemy cos they won't even allow us, the Igbo leaders won't allow igbo's go, the Yoruba leaders won't allow the Yoruba's go, the Hausa leaders won't allow the hausa's go, cos they have a common goal, which is to make as much wealth with Nigerian resources and frustrate the people of these nation, the best way for us to go our separate ways ( if that's necessary) is for us to join hands and fight the common enemy until will do, we won't have or see any freedom

you are right, that's why something much be done, if we keep complaining about it nothing will change, this is our fight, a person can not save Nigeria, 10 people won't, everyone should see it as a fight we all have to fight, even if is not for us but for the future of our next generation.

Having critically studied the Nigerian Situation, these are my solutions to the problems plaguing Nigeria:

1) Nigeria should be restructured, so each state will control its resources as well as revenue. This will ensure that the semi- autonomy states grow at the pace

2) The building and maintenance of airports, seaports and even USB ports should be in the concurrent list

3) The Base salary of every member of House of Representatives should be the Minimum wage multiplied by 10, while the base salary of every senator should be Minimum wage multiplied by 13

4) Lawmakers should NOT be allowed to deliver projects awarded to their constituency. Rather a construction company such as Julius Berger will be take over the construction of the projects.

5) States should have the power to engage in any interstate infrastructure

6) Electricity generation, transmission and distribution should be the responsibility of state governments

7) Building and maintenance of Railways should be entrusted in the hands of state governments

8. ) Each state should have a state police which will safeguard lives and properties in the state

9) States should map out at least 850 hectares which will be dedicated to building Industrial Estates. These estates will have a power plant( preferably renewable) which will power the estate. Also, there will be roads connecting the industrial estates to markets and cities

10) To curb electoral malpractice and electoral violence and ballot box snatching, Register voters will vote through thumb printing, it will be done in such a way that once one thumb prints in a monitor with the various logos and acronyms of political parties, the person votes and it is quickly taken to a secure server. This will prevent snatching of ballot boxes or papers

11) SARS should be scrapped and former SARS personnel's should be asked to either the Army or retire.

Re: Nigerian's Is Time To Act by 9jacanchange: 5:01pm On Jul 15, 2020
It's high time we started seeing to reasoning, I know we have been defeated time and again, but we can't give up, our fathers gave up, they stopped fighting, infact they never fought, I'm not talking about the Biafran war, I'm talking about the fight against inequality, fight against oppression from our so called leaders, fight for the betterment of the society, fight for development, they allow some men decide their condition and that of their children, Are we also going to sit back and allow these same men and their new recruits do the same to us and our children, our fathers failed us in that aspect that's why the majority of our youths are unemployed, some have gone into crimes, some living below their supposed standard, if we don't do anything, if we behave like our fathers did(minding their business), if we pursue other things and leave out the progress and development of our nation in the hands of these men and their new recruits it will only get worst. This is not a fight I can fight alone, you need to get involved, I need you, I know what we care about is how to make money, having a better society makes it easier, you won't have to do crime nor soil your hands in blood. I entreat us to join hands with me today and fight for a better society for us and our born and unborn children. We have given them our opinions long enough and nothing is happening, is time to give them our options. Inbox me today.

In the words of Malcolm X," One day, may we all meet together in the light of understanding."

Thanks. Will do that when I'm back.

I think this will be achievable, if Nigerians organise various protests at their different states for their lawmakers to put these things into law. If they don't, we threaten Recall.

I know it won't be easy and na Naija we dey but that's the simplest way. Going to Social media to trend hashtags or protesting at Aso rock will be a futile effort.
