Nigerian leadership Crises II

I really believe that GMB can fix Nigeria in under two years, in fact Nigeria should begin to see the dividends from his leadership in under a year. 

The only question is whether GMB has the courage and intestinal fortitude to take some very lethal and drastic actions necessary to reverse our downward economic slide. 

These actions will have to be revolutionary in nature and if carried out to the core will alienate him from all the relationships he has nurtured over the years and the support bedrocks that got him into power in the first place and only by keeping his eyes on a prosperous Nigeria would he be able to act dispassionately. 

The remaining question and requisite necessity to match the will of GMB is whether Nigerians as individuals can summon up the moral and ethical courage to implement these harsh directives in their spheres of control no matter how painful, individually onerous and without regard to familial, tribal, and religious reconsiderations.

It is time for all Nigerians to stand up and exhibit the leadership the truly want, it is not enough to cry for leadership when your brother or tribal leader is hoarding fuel to cash in when demand is at the highest in the face of the queues in Nigeria today. It is not enough to complain about poor leadership when you carry out the orders of cabals in sabotaging pipelines  and destroy power transmission lines; can't you simply refuse and make a drastic decision individually or collectively to discourage that activity once and for all. 

It is poor leadership to comply with the directives of any executive to divert salaries and retirement benefits of your fellow citizens to a political campaign without a physical confrontation and violent agbada grabbing public altercation. 

It is the height of poor leadership for a region to allow for the systemic kidnapping of its citizenry by not disclosing and flushing out the perpetuators on an individual basis in the face of the existing hardships and the pain and suffering of dependents who see their breadwinner die even as these leaders sweep it all to the side and celebrate with these criminals who pass them their share; if you cannot police your people who will entrust you with leadership. 

It is poor leadership when indigenes do not expose boko harem members living in their midst because of religious considerations in the face of such pain and suffering of refugees in their midst. What kind of leaders can Nigerians  claim to be when the do not form a militia to apprehend all the ring leaders no matter the cost for peace.

Economics - Another Useless Degree in Nigeria

To those studying Economics hoping for a banking career, please understand that With the increasing sophistication of electronic banking, transfer services, ATM’s and POS machines, the need for bankers will fall and there will be a decline in recruitment in that area. To be more concise, ECONOMICS is one of the growing number of useless courses if the curriculum is not quantitative based and focused on modeling outcomes and forecasting trends based on real time statistics and data.  Here are the jobs available to Economics graduates overseas: 1. Economist  2. Financial risk analyst 3. Data Analyst 4. Financial Planner 5. Accountant 6. Economic Researcher 7. Financial Consultant 8. Investment Analyst  9. Actuary 10. teaching 11. Public sector Based on this list, we can immediately eliminate 2,4,8,9, give some deferential award to 1,3,6 that in Nigeria all lead to 11 in policy roles, with the remaining extract from all defaulting to 10 or finally outside economics in the wo...

Re-Indoctrination Before Restructuring

Whenever you talk about poor governance, Nigerians always mention restructuring as the catch all panacea to fix all problems and issues. But very few Nigerians really know what type of restructuring is needed or how to secure this much needed restructuring in practice.  Many believe restructuring is about returning to the regional government system predating 1966, and tagging on a few new regions, while others wish to retain the federalist state structure and others wish for tribal governments for each of Nigeria nearly 360 indigenous tribes.  Others talk about super imposing a true federalist structures over whatever system but to ensure regional control of resources, most of that agitation seems to be driven by the south east and south-south zones sitting on crude oil reserves, followed by a devolution of items on the exclusive list to those new federalist units.  Others see restructuring as repeal of the 1999 constitution in its entirety and fashioning a new constituti...

PRESIDENT BUHARI’S DESTINED TO FAIL PROVINCIAL ECONOMIC POLICIES

Where is Nigeria’s Minister of State, Kachikwu? Apparently, he has been sidelined in favor of Baru searching for crude in the lake chad Basin.  It is not enough that Nigeria has been structured on a ridiculously, uneconomic and wasteful system of drilling in the south and pipelining the crude all the way up to Kaduna for refinement.  Now Buhari has become fixated with finding oil in the north to complete his economic linkage plan after the planned completion of the dry inland port and a railway linking from there all the way to Chad and Cameroon for his Kanuri relative smugglers to prosper selling petrol and other banned items without paying Nigeria excise duties unlike the militarized border around Lagos with the republic of Benin. You can almost feel the gasping for air exasperation of Buhari as he is confronted with yet another failure to find crude and I can hear his iron willed response to keep on drilling to find oil at all costs so he and the north can be rid or done wi...
