in Steem Geography3 years ago
Hello great steemians,

I am excited to participate in this contest about world issues. Currently the whole world is experiencing crises. It is a sign of dissatisfaction of governance against public interest. Here in Nigeria, we have lots of bottlenecks, loop holes in all our administrative sectors as a country beginning from the political sector to all other sectors, our leaders has failed us many time and proven to be incompetent to rule. They are selfish leader will greedy ambition. To mention a few, some of the problems are:

  • Bad Governance
  • Insecurity
  • Widespread of poverty
  • Poor Healthcare
  • Poor Education
  • Corruption
  • Human Right Abuse
  • Poor Socio-economic Status
  • High Inflation
  • Low Per Capital Income and GDP

BAD GOVERNANCE

Nigeria has being facing bad governance since independence, the root cause of this bad governance is nepotism, corruption, division and religion biases. It has affect electoral administration where political parties win elections by patronage system, vote-buying, playing street-level politics and taking advantages of huge financial resources to build social capital through grassroots networks, including transport unions, market associations, cooperatives and religious and professional groups. All of these are abused.

INSECURITY

Nigeria started facing insecurity since late former president yar'dua up till this recent president Mohammad Buhari. Insecurity rates is alarming the devastation is highly havoc. Several bandicts and terrorist groups engineered this insecurity. The major traces to insecurity is high level of unemployment, bad governance and nepotism in the political sectors.

Poverty is Nigeria is cause as a result of apathy, ignorance, diseases, dishonesty on part of political leader, high dependency on foreign aids and grants. The national resources are mismanaged, low integrated etc. These amass to the cause of poverty in Nigeria.

POOR HEALTH, POOR EDUCATION AND LOW PER CAPITAL INCOME

Nigeria health sector is not well equipped despite Nigeria producing world class doctor, at home our health sectors have lots of loopholes. The bookish system passed to Nigeria by the colonial master according to Phelps-stokes commission report in 1926, is till affecting Nigerians graduate psychomotor and affective aspect of social learning integral life, the recommendation giving has not be attended to. Hence, they seek for employment rather than creating job. Our education system is among the world poorest educational system.

HOW THE PROBLEMS HAS AFFECTED ME

  • financially, my earnings depreciated over the years after NYSC.
  • Most of my plan becomes obsolete as things changes so I have to look for alternatives.
  • Due to bad social network and corruption I have lost money on platform online and offline.

MY SOLUTIONS IF AM GIVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN PLACE OF AUTHORITY

It is part of my ambition to be either senate president or president. However, below are my solutions to the problems mention above.:

  • I will established a strong institutions across every sector of the economy to provide framework for politicians to execute public interest and to conduct assessment and provide justice against disloyalty.

  • Major problem of insecurity is unemployment. I will reduce drastically, company tax and value added tax impose on all private sectors and provide policy to guide their operations for the interest of the public. This would attract foreign investors to invest in Nigeria against moving out of country due to insecurity.

  • Sound education system. The type of education I will put in place will be more of interaction with environment, that is, more technical schools and partner with non-formal education institution for proper educational proficiency. Also in tertiary institution, the final project student will do will be their business plan execution. That means by 300 level they will have written and submit their business plan and provide feasibility report on it.

  • Provision of highly mechanized farming and good health facilities.

  • Proper environmental planning to promote healthy living.

Thanks for reading my article.
