This is one reason why Nigeria's public policies are always flawed.
With no disrespect to Dr. Joe himself, but policies shouldn't be based on individual ideas or what a group of elites considered progressive or "the brightest way of doing things".
It should be based on collected data, survey, democratic inputs and feedback from the populace. People sitting in an air conditioner filled room can't just assume what is best for the mass population in the country.
It's a monopolisation of abstract and pedestrian knowledge that no single human being or a group of politically privileged human beings can know.
On NYSC reforms, what's the data that show that the current system isn't working? And if any, where's the data that indicate that the new system will solve the identified problem? What research was carried? Where's the democratic input from the people who are currently in the system (the corp members)? Where's the feedback mechanism that made this new approach justifiable?
Without any of this, we just propose ideas that sound and look good on paper only for it to become adversely inapplicable to those who the ideas directly affected.
The same way I asked Mr. Oyedele then what data was driving his tax reform bill, and the proposed increment in VAT and CGT in the bill, only to have the host and the co-host kick me out of the space.
Our intellectual and political elites must be humble enough to know that not all ideas in their head are made of gold.
Else, we continue to fix what necessarily isn't broken.
GEJ became Acting President February 9th 2010.
Three months later on 5th May 2010 Yar'Adua was officially declared dead and on THAT SAME DAY Adeboye threatened GEJ with a million man match protest over insecurity.
Today he's making excuses for his kinsman. Evil Conman
Adolphus Wabara was removed as the Senate president because of the N55M bribery scandal.
Nigerians take a lot of nonsense generally, but the nonsense from the APC is on another level.
If someone in your house looks dead, don't call the police. You are automatically digging your grave, if you know how Nigerian Police takes these matters especially if you don't have money. You go suffer.
Under the law, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty, but once you report to the police you will be presumed guilty until proven innocent which can take years.
Take the person to the nearest hospital, it is the duty of a doctor to declare someone dead and also since you are not a doctor, you may be wrong to think the person is already dead. Taking the person to the hospital gives them a chance to be resuscitated by the doctors and if they fail to revive the person, they can then declare the person dead.
That is when you can then call your lawyer. If you don't have a lawyer already, we built @UseCaseRadar for you so you can easily sign up at https://t.co/oiXOD1bKFW or download the Case Radar app and connect with lawyers no matter the time and no matter the place you are.
You should only report crimes to the police and since you didn't kill the person, I really don't know why you are reporting yourself to the police. If I were to be your lawyer, and you contact me, the next thing would be to help you contact the family of the person. The family can then report to the police themselves if they have reasonable grounds to suspect that you killed the person and we can take it up from there.
Again,when i asked where is the EIA for the coastal road they called me names
I guess i am vindicated today
Didn’t the EIA envisage flood
Can the Lagos environment ministry tell us if they saw they EIA for the coastal road?
If they did, did they raise concerns?
What was the mail trail
Accountability is key
Private equity is when wealthy individuals or investment firms buy companies that are not publicly traded on the stock market, improve them, and later sell them for a profit.
Here's a simple example:
Imagine a bakery is worth ₦10 million, but it is poorly managed.
A private equity firm buys the bakery.
They hire better managers, expand to more locations, reduce unnecessary costs, and increase profits.
Five years later, the bakery is worth ₦50 million.
The firm sells it and makes a profit.
Think of it like this:
Private equity is like buying an old house, renovating it to make it more valuable, and then selling it at a higher price.
The difference is that instead of houses, private equity firms buy and improve businesses.
i see politicians try to put their children or family member in politics, i have seen a family of lawyers because the parents made sure all the kids studied law. i have seen a family of doctors.
what i have not seen is an akara seller working hard for their child to pick up the business from where they stop, because that’s not what anyone wants for themselves.
i know curses don’t work but you won’t die where your clothes are 🙏🏽
we work x5 harder than them to make peanuts, they make good money just by working casually. we still pay x5 of whatever they pay to get. we also live in a system that doesn’t like us progressing. i hate my country with all my heart.
