Firstly this country has sooooo many issues that need sorting out, i could probabaly make a book about it starting from the small things to the big ones. Theses are just a few things that i have thought about and would like to share with you's.
There is no way nigeria can move on with out having the right leaders, there needs to be strict laws placed down on the country and its people. Example somone made a post about the police how they are not cracking down on arm robbers but why?????and not only that bribery that is taking place there is not a day that passes without a police man somewhere in naija asking for money.
Secondly i dont understand why, if someone is arrested and has the money to be bailed out they are set free, and as for the poor man he stays in there til allah yayi mashi nufin fitowa, because obviously where is he going to get the money from. This shows segregation between the rich man and the poor its like theres one rule for the rich and one for the poor and it shouldn't be like this, now somone tell me is this right truthfully? both the rich n the poor are entitled to equal rights not one being above the other. This is another issue that need to be looked into.
Thirdly, why on earth are some people making fake medicines i mean wat is the point and wat do you get out of making fake drugs its not like your helping anyone its more like your killing people.
to my conclusions i can see that from my first point, second and lastly third its all about MONEY :x it seems like people dont care where they get the ca$h from and if there is a way that they can make the money....................... they WILL and not even that they choose to get money in the wrong way.
so wat do u onliners think?????????????
I think(from your post) you have from the beginning fish out the problem; Crook leaders. Yes, we're boarded with 'em, and one way out is to, when election comes, cast our votes for the right people for the right Nigeria.
Moreover, think if there is good leadership style in this country; some if not all would lack nothing-his atleast basic needs to satisfy his humanly welfare eg. catering for his family live. etc.
Amira! Do you personally feel the content you expressed? But why do you ran from our beloved Nigeria? Do you anya wanna see this positive change occuring? LOL :roll:
Haba dai!! Ofcousre i want nigeria to move forward and would really love it if it does happen, like ma aunt always says Nigeria kasar mu ta gado.
Have you not heard of mamman shata's song??????
In hausa: A'a, 'yan arewa a bar barci,
Najeriyarmu, akwai dad'i.
To! :D
In English: Oh, northerners stop sleeping,
Our Nigeria, it's a pleasant place.
All right! :D
yep its a pleasant place when we have gud leaders.
Wonderful! I was just teasing, right?
lol :lol:
no probz its cool :wink:
Hajiya Amira,
Your location reveals United Kingdom, it is not by leaving in diaspora that all the problems you enumerated will be solved. Since the problems have been identified, they are half solved, it is better for you and all the rest of Nigerians leaving in diaspora to come back and lets salvage our dear country together. It is not really worth migrating from your motherland to another country where you wont have freedom, where you are always regarded as 'yar Chirani, like we regard our fellow brothers from the neighbouring African countries.
Sannu Barde :)
i like the way your talking, but ma answer for you bout levin naija is that i want to get ma education without having strikes takin place in d middle of ma studies. see wen i finish ma education here i can then come back and we can salvage our dear country together. ko yaka ce??????? 8)
I hope you really feel the content you expressed in your above reply for Barde. You people unexpectedly and srtangely change when you come back. And some are even staying and serve other people whom they are of different religion, colour, beliefs, norms and culture and everything entirely to your parents and for-parent just for wordly thing. I hope our great AMIRA is an exception. Ameen.

Good Amira!Pple here are not ready to help matters. I suppose Barde's statement was originally made by Buhari. But, c how they dealt with Buhari of all ppl. I seriously support your views. Get what you want there and come back later. If u get job there stay. Don't come back until pple are ready to join u for a change. Remember that even God help those who wants to help themselves.
to cut the long story short, if i may use one genius description to answer your question;
in nigeria today, there are some people who form the majority, they consider success as being rich and failure as being poor, the source of the money is of no significance whatsoever!
Nuruddeen,
I agree with you 100% about this one. I think that amira could do a lot more from outside the country than within... Allahu a alam!
Yawwa sannu Amira,
It is unfortunate that people like Nurruddeen and co have lost hope in this country, i still belief we can make it to the promise land inshaAllah.
Just to add to what Muhsin wrote, there is almost a concensus that our major problem is lack of good leadership, so if Nigerians in disapora can come back, with constant enlightenment and perseverance, i belief they can influence the rest of Nigerians to vote for the right candidates and once the right leaders are in control, you will agree with me that things will only get better and better inshaAllah, some of them can even contest, since they don't have that chop-chop syndrome.
I had an upportunity to vote while schooling there and i studied their voting system which i will enlighten my locality come 2007 inshaAllah. Infact i have set aside my annual leave for that purpose inshaAllah. Just think of what will happen if every Nigerian in diaspora will come back and get his locality enlightened, not only on the voting system but on other aspect like sanitation, obeying traffic rules, following queus, etc.
One important thing people like Nuruddeen and co should note is that, that place is not conducive, especially for muslims, one can only have the chance to pray if his break time falls at the same time with the prayer time, if not, one will either hide himself and pray or combine them after working hours, which amount to comprising the life hereafter for this world. The issue is that religion is not in their dictionary, they dont take christianity in to congnizance talkless of islam.
It is really a good idea to go and study there since their system is effective but please and please come back home immediately after your studies. I don't see how you can benefit your community apart from sending them some few pounds at the expense of some of your necessasities over there. Don't mind Nuruddeen and Danyaro, kinji ko??
Sannunku :)
Hmmm.......from what am reading of your replies you all have good points that you've made.
1) i agree with you nuruddeen about get what i want hia and come back later, yep thats wen i finish ma studies :P
2) i also agree with you sdanyaro cos yes its possible for me to do more from outside the country by gaining the knowledge from ma studies without all theses strikes that i've mentioned before,
3) And lastly barde i dont even know wat to say apart from inshallah i will be coming back to nigeria so that we can and with many others fight this problem together, allah kaimu ameen. :wink:

Hmmn.! :roll: Most said that and yet failed/refused to come back.
Barde,
I used to think the same as you regarding this matter, but after a long time, I now know that the problem is greater than any one person or persons. The problem is with the system or lack thereof here. Evan if all the Nigerians leaving in Diaspora comes back now, I do not think that, that will change the country that much. It is the system... and the system will in due time absorbed them all.
It is the system... that is why when somebody goes out, that system usually brings the best of that person.
It is the system... and that is why even when expatriates come here, the system will usually absorb them all if they stay long enough.
So you see the problem is greater than any one person or persons.
Allahu a alam!

ME refuse to come back to nigeria, NEVA are you ppl forgetting that nigeria is my homeland and where i was born and
so how can i say i will not return.
Not all ppl are the same.
Karin magana but in english:
just cos your hand smells, it doesn't mean you
that you will cut it of and throw it away.
Danyaro,
My opinion is that the right policies are there but what we lack are right-minded leaders that can implement such policies.
You gave an example of expatriates who are here but absorbed by the system. Take for instance, the Petroleum sector, by law, DPR is a unit under the petroleum resources ministry whose sole responsibility is to police the oil sector(both upstream and downstream) but they have not been given adequate tools to carryout such functions effectively. They are suppose to monitor and ensure every bid of the oil activity is been conducted acordingly. For example, because they dont have a helicopter of their own, they normally wait for the companies to come and carry their personnel to offshore in the name of inspecting what is going on, based on that, the oil companies are doing what they like. With a good leader, DPR will be empowered to check-mate the oil companies thereby making the entire sector viable. I belief Nigeria can be a great nation, if every sector can be empowered to perform its responsibilities effectively. Dont get me wrong, am not referring to Obj's "reform" policies wo!
Not that the bad things which hinder Nigeria's progress dont exist in europe and other countries but what keeps them going is the law, once anybody is caught violating any law, he wont be left unpunished.
Amira,
You ambigiously responded to our comments, how come you seems to agree with everybody? and how can you do more things from outside the country?
Sannu barde :)
i tend to agree with ppl but not 100% only if wat they are saying in a way is kinda true cos there can be SOME useful points eg quote:
"Good Amira!Pple here are not ready to help matters. I suppose Barde's statement was originally made by Buhari. But, c how they dealt with Buhari of all ppl. I seriously support your views. Get what you want there and come back later. If u get job there stay. Don't come back until pple are ready to join u for a change. Remember that even God help those who wants to help themselves".
i agree with him bout get i what i want hia the cum back as in ma education, cos if you think about it, education is the key, if you dont have it then you can get anywhere koyaka ce?? but then i dont agree with him bout not comin back cos thats the whole point am hia to be educated and come back and meet sum ppl that want to see a change so that we can work this problem out together.
And from your 2q mark on how i can do more things from out the country...well that aint excatly possible but like i answered this from one of my posts that yes its possible for me to do more from outside the country again by gaining the knowledge from ma studies without all theses strikes that happen in nigeria.
hope you've got the idea and also hope i have answered your q marks well :wink:
The problem with Nigeria is that once u are out of it, u want to get back there; once u are back in, u want to get out, bcos reality of life in nigeria hits u hard. :?
To Allah Ya Kyauta.
Amira,
Kinyi gaskiya, i now understood what you meant but if i got Sdanyaro right, he said you can do more things for your community while working there, which i doubt you can. May be he can throw some more light on how somebody can do more things for his community back home while staying in diaspora.
Just concentrate and finish your studies, then come back and lets join hands to make our country great. Is just that as a woman, you have some restrictions but we will find where to fix you inshaAllah. Good luck.

Is not always the case. Am back and for a moment i haven't thought of going back.
Am, Barde,
I think Danyaro is right. The problem of Nigerian nation is beyond an individual or individuals. Leader or follower. No. But the system, the Nigerian nation itself as an administrative entity. That is, it makes it very difficult for its people to manage it.
Nigerians both leaders and followers are good. God is not partial to have created bad people in the geography called Nigeria as oppossed to good ppl elsewhere, say. America, England or Malaysia. NO. But it the Nigeria that is bad. It is like nothing good can be made out of it. Wallahu a'alam.

By your location, it is lyk you are working in the oil sector, as such you wouldn't want go back. My cousins working in that sector too do not think of leaving. :wink: :lol:

Haba waz, its like you've giving up already, i still hold the opinion that since our problems have been identified, they are half solved, we all have role(s) to play in salvaging the country, so let us contribute our quater sincerely and we will be find inshaAllah. So many countries have gone through the mess that is happening here but with patriotism, they have achieved success. I dont know why our case should be different. You have acknowledged the fact that God has endowed Nigeria with good people, why then do you think the system cannot be changed?

Waziri,
Thats very funny :lol: :lol: :lol:, you got it wrong, anyway. If there is anybody that needs a change of environment, its me. This is because my life is been threatened at all times (at work, at home and everywhere) by the socalled 'emancipators' of indigines of Niger Delta, to cut the story short, its not safe for me to go out after 7pm, i belief you know the situation in Niger Delta; hostage taking, arm robbery etc. I would've run long ago, if not that my profession wouldn't allow me to work in any part of Nigeria except Niger Delta.
Alhamdulillah, am being paid well but that's not the reason why i haven't thought of going back, i have my priorities which i weigh before taking any decision. What am after is to see how i can benefit my locality in particular and Nigeria in general, the best way to do it is to stay back, and considering the fact that the only way to benefit my community from abroad is by sending money at the expense of some necessasities over there, moreover, the expectations are too high, people thought once you are there, shikenan, you are in heaven, not knowing that one must work in atleast two different places before getting enough money to send home, in a nutshell, things are not as easy over there as people think. Is just that they have surpass the situation we are in long ago, hence their system is going smoothly. With patriotism, inshaAllah, we will reach where they are, if not in our generation, certainly in the next generation.

Its good to hear some optimism and patriotism about Nigeria for a change.

Youv raised an interesting point. I always thought that the Nigerian nation found her self in the mess she's in today due to some actions and/or inactions of her citizens, both leaders and followers-people who have shaped the course of the system of administration we practice.
Could u pls shed more light on the concept of ?administrative entity? as the root or genesis of the present woeful situations we find our selfves today and how its possible to change for the better from point of view of reorganizing the system?
Zizo,
I am sori 4 d seemingly late reply. What I mean by it is Nigeria that's wrong is nothing more than the truth that the country lacks any foundational definition, identity melting point and single spritual tendency.
You see, no nation ever developed in the history of the world without an owner and Nigeria is without an owner.
Take for example the USA, it's claim is always that the nation is WASP, meaning Western-Anglo-Saxon-Protestant.
For Malaysia, it is first, Malay, then, Muslim.
For China it is first, Han's then Bhudhist.
For India, it is first Hindustan, then Hindu by religion.
For Iran, it is first, Farsi then, Shiite Muslim.
For Saudi Arabia, it is first, Arab then, Sunni, Hanbalite Muslim.
But how about Nigeria? What is it? Who or which single culture owns it?
You see, the beginning of wisdom is to know who you are, where you come from, and then, what you are suppose to do.
Nations are like humanbeings and once an individual cannot define who they are they begin to find problems so also nations. A nation without clearcut self defintion is a nation where nothing good can thrive. This is the reason why I concluded that it is not Nigerians that are bad, and that God has never been partial to have created bad people in the country called Nigeria. And that it is the Nigeria that is bad. a nation without, self defintion, no single identity and direction.

Barde,
If you'll read the line of identification of the problem I highlighted above to zizo what solution should we give? Do you think we should give the Nation an Igbo identity, culture and worldview or Yoruba? Why not a Hausa Muslim identity?

Whoa waziri, thats kinda scary movin :lol: :lol:
It's very hard ,if at all possible ,to say what Nigeria's single most menacing problem is.Curruption? Contextual/Perceptual Difference? Religious Difference? Lack of descipline? Ignorance? All,if you ask me,and more.These problems do not exist in a mutually exclusive fashion,they are intertwined and one gives rooms for the other,forming an intricate network of problems that's hard to break,much less solve.I believe that there are multitude of reasons,which are not by any means individually identifiable, as to why Nigeria is in such terrible form.One of the roots of those problems is ''Descipline'' in every literal & figurative sense of the word..
The only reason people throw garbage or defacate in the street is because they lack environmental/cummunal/health descipline..
The reason police,officials or bureaucrats take bribe is because they lack adminitrative integrity(which's a form of descipline) etc..
Descipline is central to the well being of a society and it reflects in every corner of life their dealings..

Permit me to digress a bit. It is my opinion that what is contributing to the downfall of our education sector is the calibre of teachers we have in our various schools, to me a teacher is similar to a medical doctor; only an expert in that field can practice it effectively, but teaching has become a dumping ground sort of, for every job seeker that cannot secure his/her desired job. "Haba kai/ke kuwa, kodan teaching ma ka/kin kasa samu?" has become a common question to those who are in the labour market. It is one of the things that our authourities must address for us to make a headway in our education sector.
