Shall we help the President?
Nigerians are a complex and complicated people where corruption is the norm of the day. It is not only in government circles but in the private and even in our family units. It’s so embedded in the fabric of our psyche.
Buhari
In order to eradicate it or bring it to the barest minimum level, it needs a total turn round in the way we see, do and perceive things. Imagine this scenario. A house wife goes to the market to purchase foodstuffs and she makes something for herself. Have you ever imagined why our roads are in a sorry state? Because the contractors cut corners, by using sub-standard materials and also settling those awarding the contracts.
Why are trailers and tankers still parked on the Apapa axis of Lagos state, despite the control measures put in place by the military. Because of compromise on the part of the personnel.
What all these boil down to, is that the President, Muhammadu Buhari in all his wisdom cannot do it alone. Don’t get me wrong. I am neither an APC or a PDP member.
Infact, I am apolitical. However, as a bonafide Nigerian, I have a constitutional right to air my views on the abnormalities of our lives.
My humble submission is that the President of our beloved country, Nigeria, needs help and that help must come now.
The Abadingo Abadango Family an NGO, whose members are resident all over the nooks and crannies of the country would henceforth proffer solutions to the myriad of problems bedevilling the country and her people at no extra cost to the government but as a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
For starters, the number of unemployed youths especially graduates is so alarming. These youths need to be positively engaged, no wonder some of them have taken to certain vices as a result of hardship and unemployment. This is in conformity with the adage that says, “an idle mind is the devil’s workshop”.
Furthermore, a life without dreams and decision is a playground for the devil. But strong dreams and desires, coupled with determination and strong detestation for poverty and mediocrity, should motivate one very early to set deadlines in order to attain a certain level of financial freedom and excellence.
More so, a life vacant of dreams and deadlines is a life void of drive.
The said Abadingo Family shall preach the gospel of love and must allow it to sink into the medulla obloganta of all Nigerians irrespective of religion especially the youths, the so called future leaders of tomorrow. No matter what damage has been done in the name of love, we are incomplete without it because ultimately LOVE comes from GOD.
The Family shall introduce some empowerment initiatives to cushion the hardship resulting from unemployment. These could be in the form of skill acquisition, soft loan/capital/workshops.
It might interest you to observe that the present Trader Moni initiative of this present administration is quite commendable and a genuine step in the right direction.
Ours, is to add colour and spices to it most especially as it is coming from the private sector and an NGO for that matter.
This laudable initiative of ours will seriously address and bridge the gap of unemployment as they in turn shall eventually become employers of labour. So lets begin by loving others as much as we love ourselves. This is because the journey they say of a thousand miles begins with a step.
One area the present administration must urgently focus on is the power sector. Needless, to talk about the painful wastages of yesteryears as regards to power generation and distribution and the building of new power plants. Let’s talk about now and the future and that’s where this administration must come in because they are in the driver’s seat.
Ultimately, if there is electricity in every major towns and cities of this country, the multiplier effect cannot be imagined. It will catapult the economy and businesses will thrive. This will drastically reduce the amount spent on petrol and diesel. Consequently, there will be a reduction in the prices of goods and services. Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) must be prevailed upon to tighten their seat belts. They are a disgrace to this administration. Imagine how long is taking them to meter every home. They are always in the habit of sending crazy bills to ummetered homes. It’s so painful and regrettable that after the days hustle and bustle, you get home to darkness.
Nigerians are generally a happy people despite the associated problems in the country. However, they will become happier if the present administration implements some of these projects that inadvertently touch everybody.
