The absence of an effective transport system in several states of Nigeria has left Nigerians to the mercy of dubious transporters. These transporters who are guided by the action and inaction of certain states Governments, have become law onto themselves.

Commuters across the federation go through great difficulties and harrowing experiences before reaching their various destinations daily.

This is as a result of not only the prohibitive transport fares but also the infiltration of the transport system by criminals.

In some states of the federation, tricycle operators and commercial motorcycle riders popularly known as okada riders, have for some time now, being having a field day exploiting helpless commuters for their benefit and that of the Government.

The insinuation is that the affected states covertly sanction the activities of the criminals who have infiltrated the transport system.

However, it is worrisome to note that some state Governments have obstinately rejected the popular agitation that okada riders ought to be banned from plying major roads across the country.

This is due to the unabating various forms of criminality that have become their stock-in-trade. Sadly, a number of state Governments rely on the revenue generated from this source.

Surprisingly, the tricycle operators and okada riders have overwhelmed the transport system to the extent that the Government's docility has become glaring.

Indeed, there is an urgent need for regulation of transport fares.

The affected state Governments ought to provide an alternative means of transportation that shall be adequate for the large population, so as not to force the citizenry to label Those-in-Charge inhuman and insensitive Interestingly dissatisfaction and disaffection currently pervades the lenght and breadth of the country.

Take a special and extraordinary interest in the happenings within your community. Complicity and conspiracy in lawlessness, crime, all forms of criminality and evil resides in the neighborhood.

Human capacity development is key to the development of any country in the world.

To achieve development, the appropriate manpower that will impact positively on society is imperative. What is the standard of education?

There are yet to be positive changes in primary, secondary and tertiary education.

This is because maximum efficiency and productivity in the system are elusive.

The hunger and poverty in the land have impaired skill acquisition at all levels of education to the extent that it has negatively affected the decision of the leaders at the center and states of the federation.

The wrong decision by the leadership at a particular point in time resulted in the kidnap incident at Chibok, Borno state.

The effects of the kidnap is alive till this moment. Such leadership has been tested and discovered to be faulty. Indeed.

The last seven years are enough to ensure that wrong decisions are not made again, to avoid a repeat of the gory and harrowing experiences of Nigerians.

Note-

Be wary of criminally minded individuals in journalism who conspire with law enforcement and security agencies to attack professional journalists.

Controversies surrounding certificates of some Nigerians with political ambitions has up to this moment not attracted the attention of Those-in-Authority for obvious reasons.

However, Nigerians expect those involved to convincingly extricate themselves from the web already knitted around them. Sadly, the media, perhaps, for pecuniary reasons, is complicit in the covert efforts not to get to the root of the controversies.

Indeed, a lot is wrong with the system which can be seen in the sorry state of all sectors of the economy.

The failure to acquire qualitative education results in incompetence, mediocrity and ignorance, just as it has become glaring among the youth that education is no longer the means to ends.

Furthermore, it is worrisome to note that even though background checks were conducted on most political office holders, the results of such checks have not been mad to have impact on various political offices in the land.

The outcome is the failure to meet the expectations of the people. Various reasons including religious, tribal and political considerations have impeded the activation of a process that shall ensure that only the most eligible and competent occupy positions in governance.

The hunger in the land coupled with the prohibitive prices of foodstuffs are both reflections of the comatose state of the agricultural sector at all levels of government. In addition, the price of kerosene and transport fares have gone beyond the reach of impoverished Nigerians.

There is no justification for Those-in-Authority and those who have been there in the recent past to aspire to political offices.

The only major agent of socialization is a government that can effectively mitigate and eradicate insecurity in the land.

The is because of the importance of credible elections which we must allow come 2023 in Nigeria. If insecurity is to end and pave the way for a stable polity, then all arms and tiers of government must be on deck to achieve a favorable end.

Luckily for Nigeria democracy has been adopted as the country's politcal philosophy and it stands on the two legs of justice and equity concept, giving a large room for the promotion of an inclusive society.

Credible people will, therefore, facilitate peace and sustainable development that would promote a safe and secured environment. If we cannot achieve a hundred per cent success rate in governance, then a 70 per cent pass mark will be able to address the fundamental needs of the people that would keep them busy and make them friendly to one another because under this condition nobody would lack except those that may crave for luxury.

The justice system is expected to take care of this area in terms of promoting sanity and preventing indiscipline, moral rot and all forms of waywardness and corruption.

The Holy Bible in Genesis 3 : 19 emphasizes the need for shelter, clothing and food for every person in a decent society.

''19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.''

In the same manner, the Holy Quran 11 : 6 emphasizes the natural design of God, the almighty Allah on this same antidote to insecurity that will serve as therapy to human restive nature.''There is no moving creature on earth but its sustenance dependenth on Allah : He knowteh its resting place and its temporary deposit : all in a clear Record.''

The Government has all the wherewithal in terms of power influence and wealth as that natural resources of the sovereignty for the common welfare of the people under them. This is why the government is a key factor in checkmating insecurity and promoting peace and sustainable development through the common wealth of the land for the people's wellness and general welfare. Let's make this possible in Nigeria come 2023 before, during and after the general elections.

Joshua 1 :1-8

1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.

5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

The three point agenda of the present administration in Nigeria has painfully not taken the country anywhere in the face of widespread ignorance and illiteracy among the p[opulace in the last seven years.

The failure to put the right people in the right positions has been the major challenge.
In this clime, followership demands patronage, handouts and favors. These have impeded the search for credible leadership.
Although certain political actors and national leaders have made invaluable contributions and given worthwhile counsel, their efforts have overtime been ignored.
Suspicions, hurts and doubts now characterize the relationship between Nigerians and their leaders.

Sadly, the priorities of those-in-authority are yet to include the critical areas which continue to plague efforts at engendering meaningful economic growth and development, since peace and security are achievable, bit seemingly elusive.

Culprits of heinous and grievous crimes are still on the loose, while it is very worrisome that the government at all levels have continued to tolerate the culture of impunity that has become an unwelcome part of the country's socio-political life.

Interestingly,  excuses have continued to be put forward for failures, just as the inability to ensure the security of lives and property is now very glaring.
Those -in-authority ought to be committed to good governance, accountability and transparency. But unfortunately, this is not the case. Instead, activities of the government at all levels now revolve around wishful thinking and make believe.
