As Nigeria celebrate 62 years of independence. I have examined the trajectory of the socio-economic, bureaucratic and political constrains bedevilling Nigeria. My experience in the private and public sector have shown that we need to build strong institutions to deal with our developmental challenges. Even if institutions matters, to make a change, you need to be part of the solution to remedy the problems. I am committing my knowledge, experience and patriotic zeal for the good and future of Nigeria. A call to the service of humanity is the worship of God. I want to make impact to the success of this great African most populous black nation and show truly that Nigeria is the giant of Africa.
* State of the nation @ 62: what we can do about peace, security and development.*
Nigeria at 62 needs critical restructuring. We need to restructure the relationship between leaders and followers, elected and electorates, the rich and the poor.
We have not fared well as a country. The country is deeply divided disproportionately against the vulnerable poor. We talk of ethnic and regional marginalization without paying attention to the bourgeoisie exploitation of the proletariat deprived class. The intensity and scale of insecurity threaten our collective interest. Our economic statistics show we as a nation are not paying attention to social justice.
The unemployment rate is 33.3%, the inflation rate is 20.52%, the poverty rate is 46.6%, the hunger rate is 14.6%, the official interest rate is 15.5%, and economic growth is 3.6% for 2021. All our statistical indicators are climbing in double digits with economic growth at a single digit. This unbalance affects the poorest of the poor among us and reverses back to ride on the shoulder of violence, conflict and terrorism. Frustration ultimately will lead to aggression.
How a country treats its people matters for its development and happiness.
At 62 years of colonial independence, are our people free from exploitation, do they deserve the deal we have offered the poor and by extension the dwindling middle class?
We must as a nation check the priorities of our national policies and legislations. We struggle with the problems of combatting insecurity with guns and booms when people have been exploited, neglected, deprived and abused. Unless there is social justice in our land to give the poor and hopeless a reason to be worthy and happy, we cannot get peace and by extension development.
I stand for social justice and development. I stand on the side of the deprived and unemployed, the poor and exploited, and the vulnerable and hopeless. We celebrated independence at 62 years when millions of Nigeria are hungry
