managing what we measure

Know what Nigeria measure
Federal Republic of Nigeria is situated very close to the heart of Africa, at the western region Africa. It is bounded in the north by Niger Republic, in by Cameroon and Chad, in the west Benin Republic and in the south by Atlantic Ocean. It remains the most populous in Africa and eighth most populous in the world based on its population. Presently Nigeria has 196 million people. Nigeria consists of 36 states with Abuja as its Federal Capital.

Nigeria is blessed with human resources and natural resources. Some of the natural resources available are; crude oil, coal, lead, lime stone, nobelium, iron ore, water, large expanse of land etc. Nigeria is very rich in oil, its availability makes Nigeria one of the leading exporter of oil in Africa presently and the 6th exporter of oil in the world. The petroleum industry is the largest industry and the major generating source of the economy Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Having had the human and material resources in abundance yet localization and utilization still a challenging task. Nigeria today is still tagged developing country. The malady of it is when you hear foreigners’ call Nigeria a poor country. From my research, I discovered that Nigeria has the highest population of poor citizens/people and also suffers population fulmination.

I heard Nigeria was once the giant of Africa based on some achievements and impacts in the world. How is it that possible for a giant to turn dwarf. Such is too ridiculous!.
For how long do we have live in the shining room of slavery? He go better is the song we keep singing. Its better to manage what we measure and sing the song of its better.

If i will be privileged to lead Nigeria, i will shout this aloud as My manifesto:“MANAGING WHAT WE MEASURE”

Managing what we measure simply means to take real charge of our natural and human endowment.

“Until we can measure our values, we can’t get world wide exposure”

“Giving utmost attention to our values will prevent us from detention”

It saddens my heart when I see all the natural resources bastardized and also the natural earning to manage the resources and the general economy directed to some set of people. Very abysmal, Nigeria means a lot to me, I want the my country Nigeria regain its usual name “Giant of Africa”

I need to share to the world, Africa and the whole of Nigeria what has been in my archive of thought for years. Some areas really need attention to make Nigeria great again. As a responsible leader in my country Nigeria, here are the plans I have to make Nigeria a better place for citizens and foreigners:

SECURITY OF LIFE AND PROPERTY:

To live in Nigeria presently is similar to living in a war area where citizens cant walk and drive safely on the street. It has gotten to a situation where everyone has to be vigilant in the area of security. Different atrocities; petty criminals, Hired killers, armed robbers, and many social miscreants are making life uncomfortable in Nigeria. No one is safe and secured when these things keeps occurring. The priority of every nation is to make all the citizens safe and secured. Insecurity in Nigeria can be traced to bad governance.

To put an end to insecurity; there is need to convert the police to a proper officials for law maintenance and to provide enough ammunition.

JOB CREATION

It’s a great malady to a see country like Nigeria endowed with numerous resources still complains of unemployment. Unemployment will continue only when we can give our petroleum backup from other industries. Everybody wants to do a white collar job serving others where there are lots of areas to explore to break to yoke of unemployment.

Nigerians needs to know clearly that there are lots of thing to do in agriculture, tourism and on the internet. Diverting the heart of citizen and supporting them on what to do will for sure reduce the risk of unemployment.

EDUCATION

The Nigerian educational system is still very poor. Schools are not provided with learning material to make learning suitable for them. How will students get better when they are not exposed to qualitative practical works? Presently, the cost of education is too high. The less privileged ones can’t learn only because of the bills they are to pay. Federal government schools that used to be free has turn to place to make money for lecturers and even teachers. Education is the fundamental right of every citizen of Nigeria yet, they don’t have the right.

To improve Nigeria education system, provision of learning materials will be readily available, erect new structures for the purpose of mass education .

SOCIAL MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT

Social Media and Technology development is a unique process to enhance a quality of life inside and outside the community. Social development is used mainly to embrace community development, social welfare, and recreation.
In Nigeria there is need for technology advancement. Things keep changing day by day the world is gradually turning to internet/online based and Nigeria is still very much behind. Not that Nigerian is not good online, we are trying our best too but the ratio of internet illiteracy is greater than the internet literacy. Most of our college students’ can’t still do research correctly, a lot still pay to write their project and even assignment. These problems are just too obvious. To reduce them;

There is need for internet availability. There is need to set free wifi in different places continuously. Am very sure students will change their mindset when they come across new innovations online.

ELECTRICITY

Epileptic power supply is one of the major problems Nigeria is battling with. I believe you will agree with me that a society without light is in darkness. Tell me how they we connect to the world. We just have to stop the tales of our forefathers.

We don’t all have to depend on electricity. Solar and inverter power is working fine. To make everyone become the nepa of his house, making it readily available at a subsidized plan is the best.

SME SUPPORT

Small and medium enterprise need full support in the area commerce and industry. A lot of people have business ideas but no one to support them financially and marketing. If every citizen will have their little business that can feed their families daily, don’t you think crime rate will be reduced. This problem have solutions too;

Giving SME owners loans to start their business and also market them on television and radio with little charges.

HEALTH

Good health is the reason why human exist. To become wealthy, the nation needs to be very healthy. the general health sector in Nigeria is in complete drag your feet. There is need for appropriate attention to the primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare and must be upgraded to meet the need of the nation.

Building more general hospitals with sophisticated machines and employing more qualified health workers to solve the problems in the health sector.

Nigeria will be great again if all of these are implemented. All citizens will live comfortably and even outsiders will love to be part of Nigeria.

Until we can manage what we measure, other countries will be quick measure our flops.
