Nigeria

The system of Government that works without ways of obtaining advantages of living together even when there are great obstacles to unity is most suitable for the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
It is imperative that under such a system, the special loyalty of an individual to such an ethnic persuasion which may be in conflict with the loyalty to the State must be accommodated to provide for the goodwill of the citizen.         
The economic structure and fortunes of the country to a great extent explain its politics presently.         Read-Legalizing Crime and Criminality
 In Nigeria today, there are distinct differences in language, religion, and ethnic persuasion as a result the form of government that is in place ought to redress the grievances of the aggrieved. But this is not so.                Read-Landlords and Tenants Associations, Crime and Criminality
 Political forms may not be classified in finality because forms change with time. Politics revolves around living men and changing habits and not with dead things.
In the light of this, therefore,  may not be an accurate guide to the facts.             Read-Law Enforcement: The Reactionary Approach
Note :
A reliable guide to the mindset of those in government is the body language of the people.
Crime and criminality dominate the public space mainly because Those-in-Charge is criminally minded. As schools resume, host communities, teachers, and school authorities should closely monitor the activities of pupils and students as criminals in uniforms increase on a daily basis.

The 66 days the Nigerian Senate held plenary sessions in the outgone year a testimony to the fact that the lawmakers take Nigerians for granted.
This assertion was made by an Ex-Officio of the Oyo State Council of the Trade Union Congress(TUC), who is also a former Chairman of the union in the state, Comrade Andrew Emelieze.

''The lawmakers sat only for 66 days in 2021, this is not in line with the constitutionally stipulated minimum requirements for the period. This has shown that they have always taken Nigerians who they claim to represent for granted.
The lawmakers are able to do this and get away with it because Nigerians are docile,'' Comrade Emelieze declared.

The function of a government goes beyond ensuring law and order, the arrangements to permit change must be functional. Change must revolve around consent and permission from the people.

In several climes, the toleration of criticisms by governments attracted peaceful change and those who had visible potentials to partake in government are brought on board. But sadly, the fact that legislative chambers at the Federal and a number of states did not meet the minimum constitutionally stipulated sitting requirements in the outgone year is a great setback.

Indeed, there is no ideal government for all places and there is no ideal for all times.

The security situation across Nigeria, the attitude of security and law enforcement personnel, and government go beyond scratching the surface.

When Government does not change promptly with the situation, the people become a major part of the challenges confronting the government.

The experience of France at the end of the 18th century and Russia in the 20th century is instructive on the necessity for change.

Note

The docile nature of government officials, for pecuniary reasons, can be seen in the activities of an individual who sighted poultry at No. 2 Kehinde Aderibigbe Street, Olorunsogo, Molete, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria(red gate).

Sighting poultry in a residential area constitutes a great danger to residents while the several numbers of doubtful characters who visit the poultry on a daily basis pose security threats for residents who still contend with crime and criminality.

Government must live up to its responsibilities.

Government policies revolving around austerity measures, unemployment, stagnant salaries, rising prices of essentials, indiscriminate and multiple taxation  among others are all reflections of the extent to which Those-in-Charge are now unpopular.

Several people unfriendly policies have successfully rubbished governance.

Sadly, officials of the administration have so far been unable to convincingly explain and defend the administration’s actions and policies that have brought about excruciating hardships on the people.

Regardless of the poor state of the economy, Those-in-Charge have continued to borrow and spend without recourse to saving.

A bad democracy is not good merely because it is a democracy; and any form of government that is not a democracy is bad, for uncontrolled power invariably corrupts those who possess it.

They are not always right, but Those-in-Charge have sacrificed national interest as they see it in order to obtain a present political party advantage.

The imminent lose of political power by Those-in-Charge abounds in the opinion of the distraught, disillusioned and impoverished people.

The major discussion among Nigerians in every part of the country revolves around the hunger and poverty in the land.
The people continue to complain of the prohibitive cost of foodstuff in the markets, the absence of quality health care delivery, the high rate of unemployment, and the declining productivity of workers as a result of poor conditions of service.
Under the present situation, real income is very low due to low productivity.
The inducement to invest is also very low as a result of the low purchasing power of the people.
What has the government done to ameliorate the situation?
This question continues to linger.
Foreign investors have continued to observe the trend, which is obviously not favorable and decide against sinking their money in unsafe waters.
This in essence suggests that leadership at all levels of government now contend with ignorance, mediocrity, and the prominent lack of initiative to redeem the situation.
In this situation, lies, deceit, threats, and other covert methods become tools of governance to save face.

An official report in Great Britain in 1818 described the overall outcome of education of all sorts in this period as a'' lamentable deficiency'' in education for the poor.
Even though the voluntary effort was restricted to the towns, the country districts constituted wells of ignorance.
It is to be noted that some districts in London had half of their population in the category of stark illiterates.
Sadly, this is the situation in most states in Nigeria today. The vice of ignorance is now a dangerous threat to public order.
The deliberate creation of the uneducated by the government at all levels is now the basis for misrule and poor governance.
Political reasons for the deteriorated standards of education are visible everywhere in the country, even as political concessions have overwhelmed educational opportunities.
The government discrimination at all levels, in public-owned educational institutions, has ensured that indigent children must be held responsible for their poverty, while the elite determines the happenings in the private-owned institutions with the aid of their wealth from known and unknown sources.
According to John Stuart Mill, ''Education provided by the public must be education for all, and to be education for all it must be purely secular education. '' This is, however, not the case in Nigeria.
Of great worry is the fact that the country is in urgent need of suitably qualified and efficient teachers.
Sadly, those available have, over time, displayed and exhibited little talent and questionable culture. Those in charge of quality assurance also fall within the range.
The vicissitudes and challenges of life in several cities and towns have coarse and degraded many sections of the population to the extent that manners and culture have deteriorated rapidly.
Indeed, most of the products of Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary levels of education are living examples to conclude that little or nothing was learned in these citadels of learning. This is disturbing.

In early Victorian Britain, health and cleanliness were visible challenges in the slums.
The outbreak of cholera in 1832 and 1837  prompted the Government to probe the causes of the fever.
In 1838, three medical experts-Dr. Southwood-Smith, Dr. Arnott, and Dr, Kay-submitted Reports anchored on the physical causes of Cholera fever in London. This included Dr. Southwood-Smith's worrisome account of the slums of Bethnal Green and White chapel.
Indeed, the above mentioned and others-the Report of the Health Towns Committee published in 1840 and the Report by the Poor LawCommission, authored by Edwin Chadwick and published in 1842-the Report on an Inquiry into the sanitary condition of the laboring population of Great Britain, in addition to the Royal Commission which also compiled Reports in 1844 and 1845 revealed that although Britain was blazing the trail in the world in industrial development, living conditions of its citizens were in a terrible and poor state, with typhoid fever wreaking havoc among the populace.
Interestingly, major cities and towns in Nigeria presently are very dirty and overcrowded, while estate developers ignore the rules and regulations guiding the erection of structures.
Several homes and shops are constructed in the smallest space with inferior materials and active connivance of government officials.
The dirty habits of the people and absence of facilities for environmental sanitation have converted these cities and towns to poisonous dens of filth and disease, where refuse habitations include streets, drainages, roads, and residential premises.
The poor state of septic tanks in homes, badly constructed drainages, lack of potable water, and poor environmental sanitation practices among the people have exposed the nonchalant population to various diseases including Cholera.
Of note is the fact that residents and occupants of No. 5 Kehinde Aderibigbes Street, Olorunsogo, Molete, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria, not only vandalized the next building, No. 3 but also converted it to a refuse dump and place where excreta is also dumped.
Government officials have long before now admitted the evil, but blame their superiors for the public health situation.

Those-in Chrage at all levels of government look on helplessly as the people contend with the hazards of a dirty environment.

In the 19th century in England, children and adults of both sexes were subjected to despicable factory labor.
Even though there were several factory-reform movements that led the agitations for an end to inhuman practices in the factories; the stubborn, unscrupulous, and grasping attitude of the factory owners, who were in their private lives often kind fathers and husbands, such as John Bright, resisted reforms in their factories and still engaged children of nine years old to work in these factories.
In the same vein in Nigeria today, the exploitation of labor, children inclusive is now very prominent.
Underaged children engaged by those in the Organized POrivate Sector(OPS) and government contractors are commonplace in a number of states, while these contractors minimize costs by going further to engage cheap labor and procure inferior materials.
However, in England, factories, workshops, and mines reforms became a reality after a long and painful struggle against the resistance of interested parties and the passive attitude of others.
Sadly in Nigeria, despite existing legislation on child labor and exploitation of labor, the ugly acts continue unabated due to the overbearing nature of interested parties who are beneficiaries of government patronage and stakeholders in the Organized Private Sector.
Indeed, the absence of those in the mold of John Doherty, Robert Owen, John Fielden, John Wood, G.S Bull, and Anthony Ashely in the Nigerian space today;  has allowed for the continuation of the anti-labor practices. This is obviously in favor of the government and the OPS, since the emphasis is on the benefits and not the losses.
Unfortunately, the will of the Government at all levels to enforce regulations is almost non-existent and on the other hand slow in realizing its responsibilities.
Not surprisingly,  a strange development that is fast becoming the norm in major cities and towns across Nigeria, is the increasing population of prostitutes, minors inclusive, in newly constructed hotels. This is in addition to the emerging generation of young criminals, who report daily to older men and women in these hotels.

Nigerians continue to groan as the strangulating grip of the tax regime at all levels of government tightens.  
The reason for the tax regime by Those-in-Charge is obvious-more revenue-even as Those-in-Charge has decided to take additional loans to finance projects that fall under the category of misplaced priorities.
However, during the Napoleonic wars, one of Those in Government in Britain, Pitt, resorted to an income tax to aid the defraying national expenditure. The burden of the war debt was humongous. £ 74,500,000 revenue was required annually to service the debt and other expenditures.
This was four times the pre-war budget, which resulted in the multiplication of taxes. During this period, government officials made excusable mistakes or were rather frankly ignorant.  Indeed, smuggling and other sharp practices became prominent.
There were taxes on the import of manufactured goods and taxes on the export of raw materials. There were also various revenue taxes on consumption whose range and number had gone beyond the roof tops due to the pressure from the Napoleonic wars.
The article of Sydney Smith  in The Edinburgh Review in 1820, summed up the precarious situation confronting Nigerian presently: ''Taxes upon every article which enters into the mouth or covers the back, or is placed under the foot-taxes upon warmth, light, and locomotion-taxes on earth, and the waters under the earthy-on everything that comes from abroad or grown at home-taxes on the raw material-taxes on every fresh value that is added to it by the industry of man-taxes on the sauce which pampers man's appetite, and the drug that restores him to health.....''

The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has decried the acute shortage of teachers in Nigeria.
The assertion was made on Tuesday by the National President of the NUT, Dr. Nasir Idris in a goodwill message on the occasion of the World Teachers' day in Ibadan, Oyo state.
''The NUT has noted with dismay the acute shortage of teachers in our schools, resulting in unhealthy teacher-learner ratio.  We, therefore,  call on State Governments to ensure adequate recruitment of teachers for effective teaching and learning schools, Dr. Idris stated.

Similarly, The NUT State Chairman, Oyo state wing, Comrade Tojuade Adedoyin noted that despite a myriad of challenges  confronting the state government, ''the administration of our God Sent Messiah(GSM) still found it necessary to employ 5,000 qualified teachers into the core teaching service of Oyo state Public Secondary Schools.''

Comrade Adedoyin went a step further lamenting that ''our Primary schools are short of staff due to the retirement of teachers. I humbly request Your Excellency to grant approval to SUBEB for recruitment of teachers into various Public Primary Schools across the state.''

The bad harvest of 1792 in England, the grave discontent among the people, the high rate of unemployment, the prohibitive prices of food items, repression by the government among numerous other factors had adverse effects on its socio-economic and political development.
In Nigeria in 2021, insecurity, hunger, poverty, the high unemployment rate, violent crimes, incompetence, misplaced priorities, mediocrity, the beautification of lies and falsehood, the condemnable activities of state actors and their agents have visible prints in every part of the country for the people to see.

Indeed, the insinuation is that leadership at all levels has derailed.
The ignoble roles played by the likes of John Castle, Oliver, and George Edwards, all provocative agents of the government and spies, have further dented the image of the leadership and also eroded its credibility.
The actions of Pitt in the House of Commons and Grenville in the Lords resulted in the passage into law of the Seditious Meetings Bill and the Treasonable Practices Bill, re-echoed in both chambers of the National Assembly.
Unprovoked attacks by the government, with the aid of armed force upon unarmed people exercising their constitutional rights to meet together to make in a peaceful and dignified manner, rational demands in the name of justice, is already a policy of the government.
Nigeria has its own version of the ''waterloo'' massacre.
Restrictive laws have only succeeded in promoting disaffection and discontent in different parts of the country and the destination now is a departure from all principles of the constitution.
Those-in-Charge in the mold of Pitt, Eldon, Castle, and Sidmouth understand the language of repression best, while the disillusioned and impoverished citizenry watches helplessly.
However, the consolation for the people lies in the fact that the time is too short for the functionality of the various distractions lined up by the leadership to cover up its failures.

The overbearing influence of dysfunctional agents of socialization including defective parental upbringing have all combined to make the youth tobe threats to Nigeria’s future.

This assertion was made on Friday by the Founder, Spiritual Head and Grand Imam of Shfaudeen-in-Islam Worldwide, Prof. Sabitu Olagoke in his message to the nation on the occasion of the 61st independence anniversary of Nigeria.

‘’Today’s youth suffers from immature parental care and dysfunctional agents of socialization. The youth in Nigeria are at the receiving end of all activities emanating from Religion, Culture, Education, Politics and Society. Unfortunately, when each of these agents are poorly managed the effect on the youth may be a temporary or permanent damage to to their growth and development as a costly prize for the nation’s future.Thuggery,truancy, examination malpractice, hawking, unwanted pregnancy, rape, vandalism, pedophilia and other antisocial behaviors result from these deficiencies.Products of very faulty backgrounds are enmeshed in entertainment,poor reading culture, and mindset to loot the national and state treasuries at any given opportunity. They lack moral candor for leadership with wrong value orientation that is bad for leadership,’’ Prof. Olagoke concluded.

The plea for debt forgiveness by the leadership in Nigeria at the recently concluded 76TH United Nations General Assembly has been described has questionable and laughable.

These views were expressed by an Ex-Officio of the Oyo state council of the Trade Union Congress(TUC) who is also a former Chairman of the union in the state,Comrade Andrew Emelieze.

‘’How can a country that is yet to settle debts of over 33 Trillion Naira and which is still planning to borrow ask for debt forgiveness ? How has the unsettled loans been spent ? How shall the loans that shall be borrowed be spent ? The present administration has less than two years to stay in office. The request by Nigeria is questionable and laughable.This is tantamount to taking the international creditors for granted’’, Comrade Emelize concluded.

By the 18th century, iron and coal became examples of industries that were capitalist in peculiar ways.
From inception both industries were capitalist inclined,since they required heavy expenditure for the actual process of production.
The labor force comprised of wage earners working for a master and were not owners of the forge, iron ore or coalmine.
Similarly, as early as the 17th century, a sizable number of comparatively small industries emerged namely,soap,brewing, glass and salt-making industries.

However, during this period the interest in agriculture was still very strong,with the handicraft men more prominent than the industrial or commercial capitalist.

In the second half of the 18th century, the growth of the population prompting the increase in the demand for goods, improved transportation system, unprecedented mechanical inventions, new materials and improved chemical processes resulted in the industrial revolution.

Industries such as coal and hardware made use of increased quantities of coal, just as coal was also used as fuel.

After the repeal of the General Export Duty in 1834, coal and iron became foremost in the export market.

Birmingham, Sheffield and Glasgow known for cotton experienced economic growth between 1821 and 1831.

Sadly,in Nigeria today, despite the presence of all the factors that prompted the industrial revolution in Britain and the large deposits of coal,iron ore and several other mineral resources in different parts of the country, Nigeria is still largely import dependent for most of its needs. The poverty rate in Nigeria is now 50 per cent in 2021 as a result of misplaced priorities, mediocrity and incompetence.

Indeed,the colored race are the major investors in biscuits,sweets,detergents and furniture.

Exploitation of labor, austere wages, poor working conditions and other sharp practices, have all contributed to the survival of these investors.

Interestingly,the distribution of soft drinks produced in plastics, questionable alcoholic drinks in sachets among others are now the choice of business inclined Nigerians.

Those-in-Charge are now tinkering with the idea of vigorously promoting activities in the agricultural sector, despite years of neglect and in the middle of unabating killings(for ritual purposes inclusive), kidnappings and other forms of violence in 2021,while Britain ceased to be primarily agricultural in the second half of the 18th century.

The consensus among focused and development inclined leaders,is that the mindset of those that formulated policies to a great extent determines the economic fortunes and prosperity of countries of the world.

The Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation(NNPC) first audited financial statements after 43 years of its operation this period and as never been in the years past, I am suggesting that the federal government should make use of it, if not all, part of it, to construct those particular types of hospitals found abroad that lures almost all Nigerians into traveling abroad for treatment.

Such should be constructed in these six geo-political zones, one for each zone. Exactly the types of hospitals and facilities that could be found overseas.

In addition, the government should encourage our well-qualified Nigerian medical Doctors and specialists, to come back to the country to render their expert services in those hospitals. 

Expatriates specialists should also be employed to work there. The elite, political class, and other categories of Nigerians would be treated in these hospitals. It is possible. By so doing, we would have invested very well in this profits accruing to the NNPC.

But I am worried about the mindset of the medical Doctors and specialists considering the unabating insecurity in the country, they may be afraid to come to the country. 

Finally, let us all join hands together to pray fervently and ceaselessly for peace and unity while the Government at all levels should do everything possible to put an end to the insecurity in the country, to make the above laudable suggestions possible.

When all these have been done, you can imagine the humungous amount the country would save from medical tourism, foreign exchange wise.

The Norman conquest of England in 1066-1154 was characterized by the migration of whole peoples who displaced the earlier inhabitants of the land by expulsion or extermination.
However, Duke Williams'victory at the Hastings brought about the imposition of a few alien governing classes on the Anglo-Saxon population.
In addition, the Conqueror played the role of the lawful successor of Edward the Confessor, even though he was not.

Interestingly, the Norman Kings who had very few followers, residing among the conquered population went the extra mile to protect them.
This was why William the Conqueror introduced a legal system of communal responsibility for the crime to favor the Norman.
Happenings in Nigeria today, have semblance with the Norman period.
Illiteracy, ignorance, hunger, poverty, and insecurity have over time emerged as tools of governance by successive leadership in Nigeria, since independence.
Indeed, the behavior, choice of words, mode of dressing, hairdo of an unspecified number of Nigerians are very good reference points of the quality of leadership at all levels s of government in the country. Of worry, is the glaring erosion of norms and values.
The insinuation is that a sizable number of citizens have been conquered by their leaders consciously or unconsciously.
This has opened the way for mediocrity, injustice, nepotism, mutual suspicion, and inequality.
Sadly, the obsession to conquer by a few has adversely and negatively affected the social, political, and economic development of the country to the detriment of the majority.

Sadly, this is not the case.

In addition, those behind the vandalization and looting of 3, Kehinde Aderibiggbe Street, Olorunsogo, Molete are still walking the streets freely full of boasts and acting persistently with impunity. Why is this so? Perhaps, crime and criminality are now means to several ends for Those-in-Charge, who may have severed ties with the attributes of good and focused leadership.

Persons in authority in Nigeria have hinted that the re-introduction of toll gates is imminent while at the same time facilitating the increase in the fees payable for vehicle plate numbers and the driver's license.
Before now, impoverished Nigerians have been contending with persistent darkness even though at present, electricity bills are strangulating.
Indeed, the high costs of foodstuff in the markets, the upward review of the Value Added Tax(VAT), PremiumMotor Spirit(PMS), and Kerosene are solid proofs that governance is on an unstable footing at all levels.

The ranking of Nigeria as fifth in the list of countries with high debt risk exposure only confirms that political office holders, both elected and appointed, have done almost nothing to reinvigorate the country's health system, eradicate hunger and poverty, create convincing and satisfactory employment, ensure the growth of businesses.
The Debt Management Office(DMO)has stated that Nigeriahasadebt of $11.5 billion to repay the World bank.
However, Nigerians wish to know if the policies, actions, and inactions of persons in authority are in tandem with the country's indebtedness.

Most communities in Oyo state among other states in Nigeria have been overwhelmed by criminals, a significant number of whom are residents.
These criminals take time to observe happenings in these communities from shops, beer parlors, hotels, and abandoned buildings in these communities after which they facilitate heinous and grievous crimes.
In Molusi, Solanke, Oeygbami, Oshodi, Olorunsogo, Barracks, Aluko, Felele, and several other communities in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo state, electricians, petty traders, barbers, commercial motorcycle operators, and mechanics and beer parlor operators secure accommodation for questionable characters, who no terrorize these communities.

Sadly, the Landlords and Tenants Associations in these communities know these criminals but overlook their criminal activities, perhaps because of the pecuniary benefits accruing to them. Although they ensure they facilitate the collection of night guards dues from residents with all vigor.
The outcome is the several unreported cases of crimes in these communities, while innocent residents continue to ponder over the constitutional roles of law enforcement agencies which seems to be non-existent
