When the disadvantage far outweighs the advantage, the advantage becomes irrelevant.

Even Devil had advantage by making us wise and some religion says, God is the enemy of man because he never wanted man to be wise but the devil is friendly and gave man wisdom, can u even believe this?

Everything has another part of the story, military was bad for Nigeria

orisa37:
I will discard RIFA-RUGA ISLAMISATION FULANISATION AND ANARCHY POLICY THAT BUHARI IS ACTING NOW....

Ohizfly:


if I should personally take over as a military ruler I swear to God ehn Naija go better . Democracy will never make Naija good based on ethnic and religion

richmond500:
what will u do amidst insecurity, how will u transform the country?
This isn't a thread to insult PMB but a thread to give solutions

optionalY09:


With the nature of Buhari which i can not put myself in his shoes. What Buhari should do is to look for 72 virgin cow and relocate back to Niger with them . I wish him luck with all his erotic desires.

richmond500:
we gave u a hypothetical country and asked how will u make it better, u keep bringing history.
when I read the thing u posted, I knew it is not particular to military rule, any govt can create states and change currency and do everything u listed there.
so what's the fuss about military govt?

Its not actually easy to lead a country, we all are just expecting too much from the govt

Ohizfly:


what has the so called DEMOCRACY GOVERNMENT contributed to Nigeria's development other than flyovers and embezzlement of funds same old leaders

Nigeria need to take its glory back as GIANT OF AFRICA and I'm ready to do that but a military system can do that not stealing of ballots and election rigging mindset democracy has created


For the next 100 years Nigeria will continue to recycle same behaviours old leaders exhibited / are exhibiting

richmond500:
OK, I understand where u are going now

richmond500:
so after the division and there arise boss bossing boss that boss the boss, will u divide further and keep dividing until ur country is just one plot of land?

AsherAmari:
I will first of all strengthen and tighten the security system of the country. Even if it means employing the assistance of external forces and foreign security agencies until peace and calm is restored.

Then I'll fund and encourage the farming sector and make sure every state goes into general farming.

I'll create a govt owned manufacturing and production companies then improve the existing ones to create employment opportunities for the masses. Everyone must be employed no matter their level.

Next will be to build houses for everyone and I plan to achieve this feat by reducing the number of houses an individual should own.
If one person has more than one property, he'll be allowed to pick only one of his choice and give up the rest for the govt to convert for Mass building.

After this exercise, all the extra houses and lands recovered will be demolished and I'll erect new structures for the masses so they can at least be able to afford housing at a very cheap rate of 1k per month and 12k per annum.

Then I'll improve the health sector by equipping it with topnotch quality medical facilities and equipments.

These are the most pressing needs that I'll first tackle then gradually attend to the others.

I sincerely wish to become the president.

tommy589:
I will lead by example. I am sure I will be shot dead before the end of my first term or rigged out not to contest second term

1 There will be no importation of any tokunbo products or parts. I will visit very high tariff on imported daily need items. Importers of shoes,clothes, vehicles etc won't find it easy. Manufacturing industries to create mass employment will spring up
2 Extensive road construction projects to be executed mostly by ministry of works, not contractors. Just like IBB directorate of food and road rural construction, but this will come with farm settlements,power supply etc
3 Mass metering and jail terms/huge fine for illegal connection. Electric charges to be increased. No subsidy.
4 Abolition of fuel subsidy
5 Each tertiary institution and medical center to receive billions of direct funding from the budget. DG/Rector/VC to give break down of spending publicly each year.
6 Increase in minimum wages. Quarter of the work force in some government establishment will have to go home. Many can not justify salaries received.
And many more to do

Indeed ignorance is bliss

This one don't even understand Nigeria's problem ...

richmond500:
almost everyone that commented doesn't understand our problem

Igbochief001:

Lmao please eeh before u wish to become president study the function and power of the president and it's limit

Then study our financial situation ,how much we make a month , wage bill , debt servicing

Then come back n talk

Fleshrev:
1. Make sure the government is sincere about implementation of true federalism and resource control.

2. Finish NIN registeration FOR EVERY NIGERIAN.

3. Push for full local government autonomy.

4. Enter into public private partnerships for road construction and hospitals all over the country.

5. Make sure the percentage of the budget allocated for education is fully utilized for it's purpose.

6. Hire mercenaries from South Africa etc to partner with our armed forces and combat the bandits harrasing Nigerians.

7. Make sure every radio and TV station has at least one program a day that speaks on national orientation, etiquettes for better living, good driving behaviour and other things that help the younger generation become more aware of ways to improve the society.

8. Quicken the pace for starting state policing.

9. Start gradual restriction on importation of pharmaceutical drugs that can be produced in Nigeria.

10. Make sure history, Nigerian major languages, and entrepreneural studies are taught in all secondary schools.

All these, even if I don't succeed in putting all in place, will lay a solid foundation that will quicken development and peace.

Igbochief001:

Because they think like average Nigerians that's why we elect the kind of people we do

Do u really think our politicians don't want to make good name for themselves

U think buhari don't want to be the first man to give nigerians light ?...

How I wish solving our problem was that easy

Harvard just a university has more reserve than Nigeria

Developmental economics for a developing country like Nigeria is very difficult ...even if we all unite , elect the best brain it's still a very very difficult job

Now u have a structure that produce not so smart people because majority of nigerians can't get the smart people ...in a democracy ?

With our revenue , limited power of the president , current country structure there is nothing anyone can do

Tianamen1:


so we cannot increase our revenue?

How do governments across the world earn revenue?

What is our tax to GDP ratio?

How much do we pay for property and vehicle tax?

Igbochief001:

Finally someone who knows what the problem is

We can but believe me you it we scatter Nigeria completely ....know why

Obviously south would pay by far the most tax ,north would benefit by far the most .... imagine pay 40% of your total income as tax and a buhari decide to do rail to niger republic ?

The first thing anyone would do to move Nigeria forward is to increase revenue, increase tax , this would get people more involved in politics ... artists charge 10 million per show government takes 4 million , next time when he see a none perfomaning government officials he won't smile a pose for pictures

The loop is simple Nigeria have just enough revenue for the elite to be able to use to control the poor masses ...so they don't tax the middle class enough so that they don't have any interest in politics

Only the middle class can make changes ...

Tianamen1:


We can simple make taxes payable to people's local governments of origin. Even if you live in Abuja, and you are from lokoja in kogi, your taxes on your house and cars would go to lokoja LGA. There's nothing difficult about this.

Also, there are a lot of northerners eating fat off Nigeria's oil wealth.

tommy589:


Educate me on Nigeria's problem.The question is what are you going to do differently if you are lucky to hold the mantle of leadership.
