MY NATION RESPONSIBILTY TO ME

HOW CAN ONE SURVIVE THESE

Can’t just think straight anymore due to the compounding effect of daily hardship in my vicinity.

You will not know what it means to be idle not until you are caught within. Always reminiscing of this saying ‘think of what you can do for your nation not what your nation gat to do for’  smiles!!! It sound  very simple and difficult to practiced.

Yes indeed my country have provide me with education to somewhat extent a NIGERIA university degree equivalent or more, yet could not harnessed the potential in me. I use to know of a wise quote which state “no man have rise without support”.

Now consider a nation where internship is only available to medical students, workshop and seminars are accessible by, only to some working class personnel. The elite of this nation were at the fore front of this saying ‘think of what you can give to the nation’ and their children are living and schooling over sea’s with no, I mean no! Intention of coming back home(Tag Nigerians in Diaspora). I guess this how they contribute to the nation building.

The fewer job opportunities have been suffocated by stuffing in their siblings. The limited private sector could not intervene in government empowerment programme due to the high level of corruption and lack of transparency in almost all processes to be involved. 

This is the only country where hot jobs are not available to school leavers talk more of the high school attendant. Graduates compete for under paid jobs. SME’s are not manners from heaven, yet we’re expected to venture into it without support of any kind. 

A nation where almost if not more than 100,000 corps member paid $4  to Nigeria Youth Service Corp (NYSC) for the purpose of graduate loan and non could access not even one cent of the fund from them for self empowerment. I pray as a nation we have not exceeded the principle of answered prayer from God Almighty.

A SLIPPING NATION OF ITS PAST GLORY

                                 A NATION IN DESPAIR      

The unrest that rocked the nation In recent days till date have clearly spell out the disarray in our historical linage as a nation (the motherland of multi-sectoral inhabitant). I once read that the complexity of an entity determined the efficiency and effectiveness of its functionality and well being. But that seem not to be the sole attribute of motherland  NIGERIA.

By origin of existence every human being is a migrant of their aboriginal habitation be it Afrika, America, Asia, Australia, South America, Europe and the non habitable antarctic to the tiny island of the Maldive. Our popularity as a nation should remain the most populous black nation on earth living in tranquility. Our strength should be as result of the mutual bond binding our diversity.                                                                 

Our pride as the most religious nation should be a remark of peace&love as every religion will preach.

The kaos and disarray that have ravage the northern part of the country is uncalled for, in spite of the various advert on the national television in a quest  to strengthen the oneness, promote peace and the respect for our various tradition and culture and region  believe. Yet some faceless individual called BOKO HARAM sects  whose religion believes symbolizes peace want to stand for the opposite, staging attacks on para-military and international NGO’s now reaching out to churches and media houses. Oh motherland (Niger-Area) what is/are your fate?                

WHAT ARE SOCIAL RESPONSIBLITIES

....SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY  TO YOU

Social responsibilities exceed the verge of providing excellent services as subscribed  or paid for by clients and customers, not even by providing some of the basic amenities require and deserve by such communities.

In a simple term social responsibility is giving back in return to those society whose environments/human resources/natural resources  have contributed immensely to the growth and success of the organization within the period of time in existence.

 Yes, business is defined as being business by any business minded individual /group, since the paramount motivation of any investment is to make profit.

I recall a say by Sir Adolf Hitler an icon in the second world war era ‘the ends justifies the means’,  this is the concurrent  scourge we experience from the multinationals exploring the Niger Delta and on our national waters curbing too much profit from incessant operations. Second in running in these scourge is the telecommunication operators with exorbitant billing rate on using our mobile phones.

These multinationals are not in turn giving back to this societies and the nation at large as expected of them not even to an appreciable extend. Instead what we see these multinationals doing  doing is organizing a dancing/singing competitions which ordinarily does not affect the life of the children and mothers that actually need help. It’s being said that when you empower a woman, then sure the nation is saved. We indeed deserve a life touching initiative programmes from these so called multinationals.

It is on this dismay a version of Nigerian’s FARC columbia rebels was organize deep there in the forest of Niger-Delta of Nigeria known as MEND (movement for the emancipation of niger-delta), infringing pains on lifes/tranquility of the inhabitant of that great land. Despising the policy that encourages the foreigner to have invest such huge resources in that part of the country, kidnapping every single foreigner contributing to the exploration of crude oil in their locality. Thank the late president Umar Yar’adu (GCFR) for his amnesty initiative that partly resolve the kaos in that region and hope many have learn from that  menace. This implies that most a times responsibilities are function or an integral of businesses.

QUEST FOR BETTER LIFE STYLE

                                           QUEST FOR BETTER LIFE STYLE

                                                                    

The crave for change that have cut across the Middle East, United State of America, and in the Europe through north Africa since December 2010 and still in progress in some places in the middle east such as Yamen and Syria.

- In the middle east and Africa the protest was fuel by unemployment saga and the ineffective long time ruling by a single family trend or individual.

- The wall street protest is due to wage inequality among citizens and the capitalist mentality to acrue wealth for themselves and under pay their workers.

- The protest in Europe such as that in Manchester and Belfast in the U.K and Spain is derived from the availability of undesired jobs.

All of these is traced to people wanting to have a better life style for a good standard of  living. Nigeria as one of significant country in the continent of Africa isn't an exception but luckily have not been cut in these leverage of awareness where citizens hold leaders accountable of corrupt act, wealth immersed, excess spending more importantly demanding for their basic right as citizens.

These are clear view of transformation process in quite a mindful and determined manner by individual citizens. This spelled out that the government will fails when other aspect of the economy does not thrives. The private sector will also play a greater part in nation building such sector as Multinationals and Financial bodies, this sectors will  provide viable loans, create SME's and empowerment programmes.

Such financial enterprise as SURE, youWIN and BANK of INDUSTRY have took the lead among other financial body establish by the federal government to empowering young Nigerians financially and through skills acquisition programmes in the transformation process, bridging the financial gap between the rich and the average nigerians and the financial gap between the average and the unemployed most importantly creating jobs for the unemployed thereby safe guarding our nation from the contagious outburst draging nations and cities around the world into recession and civil war.

Although nothing seem to have work out since the removal of fuel subsidy bearing it in mind that no single process in life is automatic, gradual we’re expecting too much from the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Transformation Setback

Transformation is the individual effort of civilization or group of people of common interest in their inspiration and aspiration as the developmental key objective for the betterment of the citizens, indigences or  settlers at large.

Revolution is a group effort of civilization which aspiration might not be of common interest and is characterize by violence, demanding or declaring  war against the incumbent leader exit just for the quest of change.
Patriotic and friends of Nigeria which way do we go? Regarding the recent violence that swept through this great nation; the OPC warning the government on the removal of fuel subsidy, the Militants and de-facto's of  MEND in the South/East asking for the exit of the northerner's from that region and the insurgent Boko Haram demanding for a Islamic state of their own. In all this where is the oneness in us as anticipated by the founding fathers.

I guess transformation is a peaceful transition resulting from consent between the government and the govern, while revolution is a violence transition that call for forceful change by one party in command which might not truly represents our interest and result in extensive damage of properties and the lost of innocent life's.
