AMOTEKUN CORPS UPPING THE GAME
For those apprehensive about potential pitfalls of the state police, think again.
The potential benefits is a safer space for us all. Tranquility is a priceless treasure.
STATE POLICE HAS BECOME INEVITABLE
Spoken well as a policy analyst and formulator.
As a Public Administrator, I can only admire and appreciate your ability to process & articulate policy feedbacks for possible review.
We need more like you.
Based on the reactions to this by reasonable people, most of the concerns seem to be about the length of the camp stay and the quality of it. Many want it to be shorter than 6 weeks and be more impactful.
Many are supportive of ensuring that state governments first provide better camping facilities.
Many like the risk-sensitive approach to posting Corpers to places with insecurity issues.
Many would want more extensive consultations with serving Corpers, recent former Corpers and potential employers.
Many like the focus on entrepreneurship but feel that most of it can be done online and spread throughout the service year.
Many think that the allowance of Corpers should be increased.
Some have suggested giving Corpers money to start businesses, although this was covered by the access-to-finance proposals already mentioned.
Some want the military to continue to be involved in the camp, even if the leadership of the corps is made civilian.
Some want the scheme scrapped entirely. Others don’t.
Some think it should be voluntary. Others don’t.
Have I missed out anything important?
I am not a pure Yoruba, but I grew up in Osogbo in the 1980s, which made me develop a deep love for Yoruba culture. I remember visiting my grandfather in my hometown then in kogi state, and when I prostrated to greet him, he was very proud that I had learned such a beautiful culture from the Yoruba people.
Respect will take you higher in life.
Like I told you @olawale_pedro9, Gabriel is entering the "GOAT phase" of his defending career.
In 3 seasons, after having won the Champions League and few other trophies, he'll be called one of the greatest ever defenders.
Tell Umahi to communicate his ideas to you for just 15 minutes and tell Obi to do the same for 3 hours.
If you are half intelligent, You'll know who to chose, 5 minutes into their speech.
It's an insult to bring David Umahi into the same conversation with that fraudulent 🤡.
So every Fool, dick & harry should have a say in decision making & public policy?
Clearly, many educated Nigerians do not understand government and public administration.
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.
Dr Joe Abah dey there una no give us. Na that dullard you push forward.
Even though I disagree with him on a few topics, he is a proper intellectual who's intelligent takes on many national discuss is undeniable.
@OyesileJohn@PeterObi That educated adults joined that clown & his myrmidons in condemning petty trading grant is worrisome.
I have since been questioning myself, What exactly is the essence of the education we've all had if we demean & Acorn at micro credit/grant for petty businesses?
Shameful.
This man, who is from the creek in the Niger Delta, took Peter Obi to the cle.aners over the ongoing coastal roads and other roads being constructed by the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
@alex24qy I tell you. Our hopes were betrayed by the likes of Meffy and Malami.
That same set of people who defends these cretins are today condemning everything that this administration has done or is doing, is nothing short of hypocrisy.
..but you defended Emefiele to the last, even though he nearly robbed the country blind & practically destroyed a larger part of our economy all in the name of Buhari.
Continue o.
You'll look even more silly after Tinubu's policies eventually & evidently makes Nigeria better.
