Saturday, 17 November 2012. Nigeria is a nation that ordinarily should be the pride of Africa. However, the way the country has been administered over the years has put it in an unenviable position in the committee of nations. In the last quarter of 2011, I did a series on my Facebook timeline on what I consider would take us out of the valley and launch us into a place of pride. Having taken time to study the Nigerian nation and its several years.
Monday, 19 November 2012. The Nigerian economy used to be driven by industries and small and medium scale enterprises. But as power generation continued to drop and government policies started favouring importation of goods that could be produced locally, those enterprises seemed to be fading away with thousands of jobs lost every year.

Saturday, 17 November 2012. Many lives have been endangered in Nigeria as a result of the production of substandard products which have flooded the country. With little or no supervision or regulation, local producers often do what would maximize their profits, playing little attention to standards and putting lives at risk. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OF DR.
Saturday, 17 November 2012. STATE and PRESIDENTIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP AWARD. One of the ways to improve on the economy of the country is to encourage and support those who invest in the country. Doing this will spur the investors, especially those in the large scale as well as medium scale enterprises, to plough back their profits into further investments in the country. By the state governor through the same process as in the presidential award.
Saturday, 17 November 2012. Many elected officials have turned out to be an embarrassment to those who elected them without knowing much about their character. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OF DR.
Saturday, 17 November 2012. One of the major problems facing Nigeria today is that for so many years, the country has been spending much more on recurrent expenditure than capital expenditure. This means the country spends less money on developmental projects than the money spent on payment of salaries, allowances and maintenance of offices and structures of government.
Saturday, 17 November 2012. It is rather unfortunate that today, you would see a well educated professional who is completely ignorant of the provisions of the Nigerian constitution. The knowledge of the constitution should not be the exclusive preserve of lawyers, but rather should be at the finger tips of every Nigerian, whether occupying political office or not.

Saturday, 17 November 2012. As an extension of my prescription on State of Origin, every Nigerian shall have equal opportunities everywhere in the country. Therefore, I prescribe that anyone that resides in a locality for an onward period of five years shall be eligible to contest elections therein. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OF DR.
Saturday, 17 November 2012. For about a decade now, the recurrent expenditure of the government has taken over capital expenditure, with the government at all levels spending more money on payment of salaries and allowances than developmental projects that would have meaningful impact on the people. Their number of Aides and unnecessary allowances should also be reduced significantly. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OF DR.
Saturday, 17 November 2012. There is the need for Nigeria to break the jinx in its quest of evolving a constitution that reflects the collective wishes and aspirations of its more than 350 ethnic groups. There is also the need to reduce the power and financial strength at the centre for stronger and more responsible federating units. This way, each state will be able to develop at its own pace using its own God-given resources. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OF DR.
Saturday, 17 November 2012. For many years now, Nigerians have had to deal with an inefficient, corrupt and a mediocre police force. The federal government has also compounded the situation by underfunding and under-equipping the police, leaving the people to bear the brunt. I therefore prescribe that each state of the federation should have its own police, and the State Commissioner of Police answerable to the state Governor, as the TRUE Chief Security Officer of the state.
Saturday, 17 November 2012. One of the major concerns of those against state police has been that governors will misuse their control over state police. There have been concerns that governors might use state police for personal and political ambitions. The unit will be subdivided into six, representing each of the six geo-political zones for effectiveness. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OF DR.
Saturday, 17 November 2012. With the amalgamation of Nigeria in 1914, all Nigerians have been given the opportunity to reside, function and perform all their constitutional and legitimate responsibilities anywhere they find themselves in any part of the country. This integration is as important as the continued unity of the country and in order to encourage this, there is the need to allow every Nigerian to have the same sense of belonging in any part of the country.
Tuesday, 20 November 2012. Since the return to democracy in 1999, Nigeria has been grappling with violence and malpractices during general elections, partly owing to the desperation of political office holders seeking a second term in office. Thus, if a single term non-rene.
Saturday, 17 November 2012. There is no democracy without elections. The electorates choose their representatives through elections. However, the violence and malpractices associated with elections in Nigeria, especially since the return of democracy in 1999, has made more crucial the role of the Elections Petition Tribunals. Therefore, I prescribe that elections should be held six months before the tenure of the incumbent terminates. ALL litigations arising from the elec.
