Why We Should Vote Competent And Serious Leaders by abdul01(m): 9:13pm On Feb 05, 2015 |
This post was actually a comment I made on a thread, I believe I should post it here so that it can have a wider reach. I believe that if these 3 things(electricity, roads and security) are fixed then nigeria will be a very great nation. Let's reason together: -Are u aware that the noise and flames generated by our generators cause us short life span, this is because we can't sleep comfortably due to this noise, and inadequate sleep causes high blood pressure which in turn causes early death. - likewise these noise and flames that come out from these gens have a very adverse effect on our health. The night time is supposed to be the time where everything is supposed to be serene and quiet, it's the time u supposed to use to rest and have a deep refreshing sleep, it's d time that u can (also) use to read and do research and do many other productive things, but here in nigeria, (especially lagos), the case is d reverse, this is because we have no light and we are disturbed by d noise and flame of d generators of our neighbours. The summary of this is that these gens cause us not to sleep well, cause us not to think well(due to d gen noise that's always reverberating and resonating into our brains) and cause us a whole other things too. -Are u aware that most companies in nigeria including d SMEs spend a fortune of their revenue on generating their electricity by themselves either through heavy weight generators, or through inverters, or even both; this is because relying on d government supplied electricity will affect their business and will damage a lot of d equipments used in these coys, due to d fact that d electricity isn't stable(they're always taking it n bring it). For e.g the company where I work, we use generators through out(we don't use PHCN at all), this is because we can't afford any downtime and we need this steady electricity to power our over 500 PCs, servers and other equipments. What I'm trying to drive with this point is that if we have good and stable electricity, our economy will improve, there would be much more foreign investments, our SMEs will survive and grow, we (as individuals) will have more incomes, and much more. Hence If we had good electricity this will have a very good effect on our productivity and our economy at large. Now with the second issue which is good roads: -Do u know what we loose on a daily basis due to bad roads? -Our cars get bad quickly mainly because of bad road -We spend more time on d road due to bad roads, this time could have been utilized to do some more productive and useful things if we had good roads. Coupled with d fact that we spend more time on d road, we're also fatigued when we get to our destination, hence this reduces our productivity and in turn has a bad effect on our economy. Let me give u an example: I ply d apapa-oshodi expressway every mrn, about a month ago b4 d road was partially fixed, we normally spend abt 1 hour or more just between cele bustop and iyana-isolo just because of d bad road aroud d iyana-itire axis, something that isn't supposed to be more than 10 mins drive. Imagine if this road was good, I wouldn't have to leave home abt an hour earlier (I'll use this time for something better), likewise I'll get to work on time and I'll get to work unfatigued, strong and agile. This is d same thing that happens when I come home in d evening too, I spend an extra hour or more on d road, I get home tired(due to long sitting in d bus) due to bad roads which cause hold ups. Hence,If we had good roads this will have a very good effect on our productivity and our economy -Likewise bad roads cause accidents and this lead to loss of lives and loss of human resources. The 3rd issue is insecurity, the consequences of this are very clear to us all. -Do u know how many trillions we loose(or have lost) due to this insecurity and terrorism of a thing? So my ppl what is d solution to all these problems? There is a chinese adage that says that knowing d CAUSE of a problem is half d solution to that problem. The major things I feel are d cause of these 3 points I raised above are corruption and unserious or undetermined leaders. Once we have a leader who has a firm will to serve d ppl, and to uproot d causes of these problems, then these problems will be easily solved. Just take a look at ppl like sanusi, dora akunyili, ribadu, n co., when these ppl were heads of their respective govt orgs, we could see changes and good results, this is because they had zero tolerance for corruption and mediocrity, and they were focused and firm in what they were doing. The summary of my msg is that we should vote for ppl who have d strong will to serve d ppl, and who have d strong will to tackle corruption, indiscipline and mediocrity (especially in d govt institutions). |
