Is it still possible for us to build Nigeria of our dream? How long will it take us to realize our potentials, considering that we are exceptionally endowed with natural and human resources? Seriously, I think we are grossly deficient in terms of development, which is occasioned by corruption and ineptitude (Ineptitude being the worst of the two evil).
Every election is supposed to afford the electorates opportunity to vote in new leaders and expectedly change their fortune positively. However, it seems the electorates in Nigeria are usually rewarded with the opposite of their bargain.
During the last election campaign that ushered in President Mohammed Buhari, I was doubtful about the sincerity of purpose of both APC and PDP campaign manifestos. Their ideas and what they tend to achieve was obviously disjointed. Their manifestos were determined by the facilities/infrastructures that were lacking in their campaign environment. Most towns in Anambra state were promised erosion control, States that don’t have airports were promised airports, in riverine areas they promised bridges, in general, they promised Naira will be equal to dollar, at Onitsha the manifesto swung in favour of construction of second Niger Bridge and dredging of River Niger. The promises were endless and apparently unachievable. On the Election Day, some of the electorates that had voters card, voted candidates of their choice, while others assisted politicians in rigging the election. At the end, President Mohammed Buhari was declared the winner. This was made possible by the then incumbent president, who congratulated the General turned politician even before the announcement of the final result.
At the final announcement of the presidential election result, virtually all electronic media (formal and informal) were agog with the news of president buhari’s victory. I still recollect that I and my good friend Oluwalowe at a gathering with over One Hundred other Nigerians were watching the election result collation process at a viewing centre close to my abode then in Abeokuta, South-west, Nigeria. The crowd was so jubilant about the outcome of the result and celebration continued into the middle of the night.
At some point in the wee hours of that night/morning, an unusual moon suddenly appeared in the horizon to the surprise of the cheering crowd. Though so many of us could not put a meaning to the occurrence, some other people attributed the moon as a sign of good omen. These set of people continued to echo the word CHANGE repeatedly, to the excitement of the jubilant crowd.
At this point, my emotion almost betrayed my earlier conviction that a black man does not have the capacity to rule over other black men (My opinion has not changed and will not change in the nearest future). If you ask, my reasons are almost inexhaustible and a discussion for another day.
Don’t get me wrong, I know President Mohammed Buhari is a good man and passionate about the success of Nigeria and Nigerians. I became very skeptical about his genuine concern for Nigeria immediately he decided to join forces with some corrupt elements in the country, who had earlier talked him out of retirement. Our president lost his integrity when he agreed to team-up with these elements, whose major objective was to push out the leaders at that time. The president swallowed his own vomit by contesting another election even when he had publicly declared himself unavailable for future elections after he was defeated by then incumbent in 2011.
In fulfillment of the wishes of these elements and what also seems like a desperate attempt to realize his age long personal ambition, he opted for a bank loan to purchase his APC primaries nomination form, which depleted his personal economic value with over Twenty Million Naira. Subsequently, In a campaign characterized with threats of jailing looters and other bogus promises, bankrolled in multibillion Naira fashion, suitable for a mediaeval carnival in the most corrupt Asian Nations of the 70’s and 80’s, it was obvious that once a honorable man was ready to compromise his integrity by taking what looks like a final shot on the “Czarship” of the Nigeria State. On this carnival-like campaign, he traversed the length and breadth of the country on a chartered aircraft, billed on hourly basis, without giving a thought to the accumulated cost of servicing the loan he took to invest in APC Presidential nomination form.
Finally, President Mohammed Buhari was sworn-in on 29th May, 2015, in a much awaited dawn of CHANGE. His speech was that of hope and enthusiasm. In addition to inestimable campaign promises, he knowingly/unknowingly made the mother of all promises, when he said “he belongs to everybody and belongs to no body”. He resumed duty on this date and started running the country like a sole administrator (belonging to himself alone). It took over three months to articulate and nominate perceived credible Nigerians as minsters. At the end of the wait, most of the ministers he nominated were retrieved from the countries “archive”, those with unprecedented history of underperformance and gross inefficiency in management of Government resources. While some others, were given portfolios that are not related to their area of specialization. For instance, a lawyer was appointed as Minister of Works and Housing (Just like having an Engineer as Attorney General of the federation) and yet some Nigerians are still optimistic about change, when nothing has changed from the usual way of doing things. Also, a medical Doctor was appointed minister for labour and productivity, yet the change slogan is still loud. In all of these, professionals and their Associations did not deem it fit to engage the Government on issues of appointment of political office holders. The argument here is that procedures for appointment of political office holders has not changed from what it used to be in the past but again, has success really been recorded from this crude way of doing things?
Consequently, in less than six months after appointing ministers, Nigeria and Nigerians started experiencing a lot more hydra-headed problems than was left by the immediate past administration, which now take pride in challenging Nigerians to make a choice between two inseparable evils. The immediate past president, now goes about with his head high, even when his only obvious achievement was handing over power peacefully. In recent time, the administration of the immediate past president has been in the news for every wrong reason.
In addition, amongst those that were appointed minister is a thorough breed professional lawyer, with specialization in Energy, Petroleum Law and Investment, who was appointed as the czar of NNPC. His appointment was hailed by those who knew him in the oil and gas sector. His approach to work was not much different from that of former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, who chooses to address press conference at will instead of minding his job as a professional. In one of his unguided statements, he talked about “Unbundling” of NNPC, which he later retracted and used the word “Restructuring” in place of “Unbundling”. He continued to immerse himself in controversies. In another instance, he was repeatedly talking about subsidy removal, while the President was saying his Government will not remove subsidy. He continued in this fashion, until he started speaking from both sides of the mouth.
As an “economist”, he has convinced Nigerians that competition will drive the price of fuel down in no distant time, that is yet to be seen (We all know that
shylock petroleum marketers are not in any way in competition but instead they collaborate/corporate to make things difficult for Nigerians).
It has become obvious that there is total disconnect between Junior Minister of Petroleum and his Principal (PMB). While PMB is continually saying there is no subsidy on PMS, the former is insisting that subsidy must be removed.
In a bid to defend the hike in pump price of PMS, he has explained that the country no longer earn enough exchange rate required to fund the import of PMS. As a result, marketers are to source exchange rate from the secondary market (which is not regulated by CBN). The consequence of this statement, is the immediate negative distortion of the exchange rate, due to anticipated increase in demand for foreign exchange (Note; the forces of Demand and Supply are yet to take effect).
Again, how can we explain the fact that after about three weeks the federal Government was hailed for reaching agreement with Chinese Government on currency swap deal, which is intended to reduce the pressure on our local currency. The same federal Government by its import policy is keen on granting licenses to willing importers of PMS that meets certain import quality specifications. This policy will definitely increase the demand for foreign exchange, thereby weakening our local currency. So, the question is, what happens to the pump price of PMS when dollar exchanges for N 1,000/$? (This is my predicted price of
N /$ in the nearest future, considering the attraction of super-profit inherent in importation of petroleum products).
The Minister also struggled to justify the reason why controlled exchange rate should be sacrificed to “Jankara” exchange rate (Secondary market rate), which is a major reason adduced for increase in pump price of PMS. Yes, agreed the Government is not earning enough foreign currency to accommodate the demand sought by Petroleum Marketers. The Federal Government also said marketers most times get exchange rate at controlled price and sell at parallel market price, thereby making more profit than when fuel is imported. Again, this exposes the Government inability to control the financial system. The CBN can create a special purpose vehicle in conjunction with commercial banks to make payments on behalf of the marketers and also have a regulatory body that will monitor the whole process of importation until products get to the final consumer. The National Assembly can also make a law in the interim that will prohibit importers from selling currency obtained at controlled price to parallel market operators. These could serve as temporary measures until we are able to refine enough products locally.
The Minister also mentioned activities of marketers involved in product diversion to neighbouring countries, where petroleum products are sold at higher prices. This is a clear indictment on our security agencies. For God Sake, Petroleum products are diverted using trucks and other water vessels and not glass cups. However, this is also an untapped opportunity that could create Tens of Thousands of jobs for our teeming unemployed youths, increase the value of our Gross Domestic Product and also have the capacity of creating value chain in the entire system. We urgently need to increase our local refining capacity by granting incentives to private investors both locally and internationally, build additional refineries and making the existing refineries fully functional. This way, we can meet our local consumption requirement, have refined products available for export and also solve the problem of product diversion. An average modular refinery with a capacity of 500 to 20,000bpd cost less than Ten million Dollars and requires a construction period of less than one year (source: Google)
Moreover, the present Government instead of being on the defensive should take a clue from past administrations in order not to repeat the same mistakes. It is very glaring that all our past administrations have governed this country with the “rule of thumb”. There are no consistent plan and even when there is plan, it is so disjointed and difficult to implement.
We can no longer suppress information in this digital age, so there is no hiding place for our present Government. The major undoing of the immediate past administration is the availability of electronic media (Formal and Informal). Any Nigerian that has access to a smart phone is a journalist (lol).
In conclusion therefore, I sincerely concur that blacks have succeeded in so many endevours but not with leadership, especially as it concerns Africans, Caribbean’s and other parts of the world where blacks are dominant.
I wish the present Government can do things differently but unfortunately, they are “THE SAME POISON IN A DIFFERENT CONTAINER” .

update on available jobs

in a Nigerian competitive market where a job is posted and you see age specifications it is advisable to never put your age as that may lead to total disqualification

Date: Mon, 13 Nov 95 23:01:00 PSTM
My lord,
We all stand before history. I am a man of peace, of ideas. Appalled by the denigrating poverty of my people who live on a richly endowed land, distressed by their political marginalization and economic strangulation, angered by the devastation of their land, their ultimate heritage, anxious to preserve their right to life and to a decent living, and determined to usher to this country as a whole a fair and just democratic system which protects everyone and every ethnic group and gives us all a valid claim to human civilization, I have devoted my intellectual and material resources, my very life, to a cause in which I have total belief and from which I cannot be blackmailed or intiidated. I have no doubt at all about the ultimate success of my cause, no matter the trials and tribulations which I and those who believe with me may encounter on our journey. Nor imprisonment nor death can stop our ultimate victory.
I repeat that we all stand before history. I and my colleagues are not the only ones on trial. Shell is here on trial and it is as well that it is represented by counsel said to be holding a watching brief. The Company has, indeed, ducked this particular trial, but its day will surely come and the lessons learnt here may prove useful to it for there is no doubt in my mind that the ecological war that the Company has waged in the Delta will be called to question sooner than later and the crimes of that war be duly punished. The crime of the Company’s dirty wars against the Ogoni people will also be punished.
On trial also is the Nigerian nation, its present rulers and those who assist them. Any nation which can do to the weak and disadvantaged what the Nigerian nation has done to the Ogoni, loses a claim to independence and to freedom from outside influence. I am not one of those who shy away from proesting injustice and oppression, arguing that they are expected in a military regime. The military do not act alone. They are supported by a gaggle of politicians, lawyers, judges, academics and businessmen, all of them hiding under the claim that they are only doing their duty, men and women too afraid to wash their pants of urine. We all stand on trial, my lord, for by our actions we have denigrated our Country and jeapordized the future of our children. As we subscribe to the sub-normal and accept double standards, as we lie and cheat openly, as we protect injustice and oppression, we empty our classrooms, denigrate our hospitals, fill our stomachs with hunger and elect to make ourselves the slaves of those who ascribe to higher standards, pursue the truth, and honour justice, freedom, and hard work. I predict that the scene here will be played and replayed by generations yet unborn. Some have already cast themselves in the role of villains, some are tragic victims, some still have a chance to redeem themselves. The choice is for each individual.
I predict that the denoument of the riddle of the Niger delta will soon come. The agenda is being set at this trial. Whether the peaceful ways I have favoured will prevail depends on what the oppressor decides, what signals it sends out to the waiting public.
In my innocence of the false charges I face Here, in my utter conviction, I call upon the Ogoni people, the peoples of the Niger delta, and the oppressed ethnic minorities of Nigeria to stand up now and fight fearlessly and peacefully for their rights. History is on their side. God is on their side. For the Holy Quran says in Sura 42, verse 41: ‘All those that fight when oppressed incur no guilt, but Allah shall punish the oppressor.’ Come the day.
–Kenule Beeson Saro-Wiwa

19. Social media URLs that are not related to the targeted position.
Social media links are not relevant to job applications
Links to your opinionated blogs, Pinterest page, or Instagram account have no business taking up prime résumé real estate. "Candidates who tend to think their personal social media sites are valuable are putting themselves at risk of landing in the 'no' pile," Nicolai says.
"But you should list relevant URLs, such as your LinkedIn page or any others that are professional and directly related to the position you are trying to acquire," she says.
20. More than 15 years of experience.
When you start including jobs from before 2000, you start to lose the hiring manager's interest.
Your most relevant experience should be from the past 15 years, so hiring managers only need to see that, Augustine says.
On the same note, never include dates on education and certifications that are older than 15 years.
21. Salary information.
"Some people include past hourly rates for jobs they held in college," Nicolai says. This information is completely unnecessary and may send the wrong message.
Amy Hoover, president of Talent Zoo, says you also shouldn't address your desired salary in a résumé. "This document is intended to showcase your professional experience and skills. Salary comes later in the interview process."
22. Outdated fonts.
"Don't use Times New Roman and serif fonts, as they're outdated and old-fashioned," Hoover says. "Use a standard, sans-serif font like Arial."
Also, be aware of the font size, she says. Your goal should be to make it look nice and sleek — but also easy to read.
23. Fancy fonts.
Curly-tailed fonts are also a turn-off, according to O'Donnell. "People try to make their résumé look classier with a fancy font, but studies show they are harder to read and the recruiter absorbs less about you."
24. Annoying buzzwords.
CareerBuilder asked 2,201 US hiring managers: "What résumé terms are the biggest turnoffs?" They cited words and phrases such as, "best of breed," "go-getter," "think outside the box," "synergy," and "people pleaser."
Terms employers do like to see on résumés include: "achieved," "managed," "resolved," and "launched" — but only if they're used in moderation.

25. Reasons you left a company or position.
Candidates often think, "If I explain why I left the position on my résumé, maybe my chances will improve."
"Wrong," Nicolai says. "Listing why you left is irrelevant on your résumé. It's not the time or place to bring up transitions from one company to the next."
Use your interview to address this.
26. Your school grades
Once you're out of school, your grades aren't so relevant.
If you're a new university graduate and your grades were particularly high — it's OK to leave it.
27. A photo of yourself.
This may become the norm at some point in the future, but it's just weird — and tacky and distracting — for now.
28. Opinions, not facts.
Don't try to sell yourself by using all sorts of subjective words to describe yourself, O'Donnell says. "I'm an excellent communicator" or "highly organized and motivated" are opinions of yourself and not necessarily the truth. "Recruiters want facts only. They'll decide if you are those things after they meet you," she says.
29. Short-term employment.
Avoid including a job on your résumé if you only held the position for a short period of time, Gelbard says. You should especially avoid including jobs you were let go from or didn't like.

4. Your hobbies
Employers don't care about your out-of-work hobbies
Nobody cares.
If it's not relevant to the job you're applying for, it's a waste of space and a waste of the company's time.
5. Blatant lies.
A CareerBuilder survey asked 2,000 hiring managers for memorable résumé mistakes, and blatant lies were a popular choice. One candidate claimed to be the former CEO of the company to which he was applying, another claimed to be a Nobel Prize winner, and one more claimed he attended a college that didn't exist.
Rosemary Haefner, chief human-resources officer at CareerBuilder, says these lies may be "misguided attempts to compensate for lacking 100% of the qualifications specified in the job posting."
But Haefner says candidates should concentrate on the skills they can offer, rather than the skills they can't offer.
"Hiring managers are more forgiving than job seekers may think," Haefner explains. "About 42% of employers surveyed said they would consider a candidate who met only three out of five key qualifications for a specific role."
6. Your age.
If you don't want to be discriminated against for a position because of your age, it's time to remove your graduation date, says Catherine Jewell, author of " New Résumé, New Career."
Another surprising way your résumé could give away your age: double spaces after a full stop.
7. Too much text
When you use a 0.5-inch margin and eight-point font in an effort to get everything to fit on one page, this is an "epic fail," says J.T. O'Donnell, a career and workplace expert, founder of career-advice site Careerealism.com , and author of "Careerealism: The Smart Approach to a Satisfying Career."
She recommends lots of white space and no more than a 0.8 margin.
8. Time off.
Employers don't want to hear about what you got up to in your time off
If you took time off to travel or raise a family, Gelbard doesn't recommend including that information on your résumé. "In some countries, it is acceptable to include this information, especially travel, but it is not appropriate to include that in the body of a résumé in the US."
9. References.
If your employers want to speak to your references, they'll ask you. Also, it's better if you have a chance to tell your references ahead of time that a future employer might be calling.
If you write "references upon request" at the bottom of your résumé, you're merely wasting a valuable line, career coach Eli Amdur says.
10. Inconsistent formatting.​
The format of your résumé is just as important as its content, says Amanda Augustine , a career-management expert.
She says the best format is the format that will make it easiest for the hiring manager to scan your résumé and still be able to pick out your key qualifications and career goals.
Once you pick a format, stick with it. If you write the day, month, and year for one date, then use that same format throughout the rest of the résumé.

11. Personal pronouns.
Your résumé shouldn't include the words "I," "me," "she," or "my," says Tina Nicolai, executive career coach and founder of Resume Writers' Ink.
"Don't write your résumé in the third or first person. It's understood that everything on your résumé is about you and your experiences."
12. Present tense for a past job.
Never describe past work experience using the present tense. Only your current job should be written in the present tense, Gelbard says.
13. A less-than-professional email address.
If you still use an old email address, like BeerLover123@gmail.com or CuteChick4life@yahoo.com, it's time to pick a new one.
It only takes a minute or two, and it's free.
14. Any unnecessary, obvious words.
Amdur says there is no reason to put the word "phone" in front of the actual number.
"It's pretty silly. They know it's your phone number." The same rule applies to email.

15. Headers, footers, tables, images, or charts.
These fancy embeddings will have hiring managers thinking, "Could you not?"
While a well-formatted header and footer may look professional, and some cool tables, images, or charts may boost your credibility, they also confuse the applicant tracking systems that companies use nowadays, Augustine tells Business Insider .
The system will react by scrambling up your résumé and spitting out a poorly-formatted one that may no longer include your header or charts. Even if you were an ideal candidate for the position, now the hiring manager has no way to contact you for an interview.
16. Your current business contact info.
Amdur writes at NorthJersey.com :
"This is not only dangerous; it's stupid. Do you really want employers calling you at work? How are you going to handle that? Oh, and by the way, your current employer can monitor your emails and phone calls. So if you're not in the mood to get fired, or potentially charged with theft of services (really), then leave the business info off."
17. Your boss' name.
Don't include your boss' name on your résumé unless you're OK with your potential employer contacting him or her. Even then, Gelbard says the only reason your boss' name should be on your résumé is if the person is someone noteworthy, and if it would be really impressive.
18. Company-specific jargon.
"Companies often have their own internal names for things like customized software, technologies, and processes that are only known within that organization and not by those who work outside of it," Gelbard says. "Be sure to exclude terms on your résumé that are known only to one specific organization."
19. Social media URLs that are not re

1. An objective.
If you applied, it's already obvious you want the job.
The exception: If you're in a unique situation, such as changing industries completely, it may be useful to include a brief summary.
2. Irrelevant work experiences.
Yes, you might have been the "king of making milkshakes" at the restaurant you worked for in high school. But unless you are planning on redeeming that title, it is time to get rid of all that clutter.
But as Alyssa Gelbard, career expert and founder of career-consulting firm Résumé Strategists, points out: Past work experience that might not appear to be directly relevant to the job at hand might show another dimension, depth, ability, or skill that actually is relevant or applicable.
