HOW TO MAKE NIGERIA GREAT- BY MR.RIGHTS

To make Nigeria great, we must think like great people because no nation ever become great unless its citizens think of greatness.
Being a hero is different from being great. You may become a hero by carrying out certain actions or implementing certain agenda’s, but being great means doing something more, i.e, accomplishing something good consistently over and over again.
We may conclude that to attain greatness, something heroic must have been accomplished over and over again.
Here we know that to make Nigeria great is beyond a particular individual, it must be a task jointly embarked upon by all well meaning patriots. However, it must be led by  great minds full of innovation and purposeful vision. Especially, someone who understand and uphold the human right principle.
Without any doubt, we all know some great nations.
USA is the most powerful nation in the world, it is great. China has the most vibrant economy is the world, it is great. Dubai of UAE is the world commercial center, it is great and finally, Britain had maintained its stand on world leadership for over 300 years and certainly, it is great.
If Nigeria must be great, we must learn from these great nations.
1.      How did USA become the most powerful country in the world?
USA is not the most wealthiest nation on earth, neither does it have the most population. How did it emerge ahead of more wealthy nations? How did it emerge ahead more populated nations?
2.      How did China emerge the most vibrant economy?
China doesn’t have the most abundant natural resources, neither does it have the most productive land. How did it attain that feat ahead of countries with more natural resources and fertile land?
3.      How did Dubai attain the status of commercial center of the world?
UAE is not the most urbanized country of the world, it is not the most populous country, neither does it have the most population and best technology. How then did Dubai emerge ahead of more urbanized and populous countries with better technology?

And finally,
4.      What kept Britain going for over 300 years in world leadership?
This is just a small country with virtually nothing in terms of natural wealth. How did Britain acquire the required wealth despite having nothing? How did such a small country put itself in the center of world leadership? What are the more wealthy nations doing when Britain was building its empires and capturing vast territory? How did Britain survive till date holding such influence spanning over 300 years?

They all have one thing in common. LEADERSHIP.
Good leadership can make the poorest nation to become the most powerful one, while bad leadership can make the wealthiest nation become the weakest.

Why is Africa backward in terms of development?

Why is Nigeria the way it is today?

One thing  Is responsible: Leadership.

USA did not become the most powerful nation because it is the most wealthiest, but rather, because it has purposeful leadership.
China didn’t have the most vibrant economy because of its population, it attain such status because purposeful leadership emerge in its political space.
Also, Dubai didn’t emerge commercial capital of the world because of its location, fame or anything special, it emerge simply because they have purposeful leadership leading the country.
And finally, Britain didn’t survive over 300 years of world leadership because of super-natural powers or quality, they are waxing stronger because of their effective and purposeful leadership.
The rule is simply, if citizens of a country allow a purposeful leaders emerge in their country, they shall have cause to smile and be proud of being from that country. On the other hand, if they deny purposeful individuals opportunity to excel in their political space, they shall remain backward.
Africa remain backward not because it is cursed or lack anything special, but simply because it lack leadership.
Therefore, Nigeria may have the most abundant natural resources in the world, it may have the most enterprising citizens, it may also have the potential to become a great nation if it chose to, but until purposeful individuals are allowed to emerge in our political space, Nigeria shall remain in a sorry state.
Finally, If we want Nigeria to be powerful like America, we must consider what Americans consider in individuals they elect to lead them. Competence not tribe or religion.
If we want Nigeria to be like China, we must imbibe some attribute of the Chinese people, develop your resources within,condemn and punish corruption no matter who is involved.
If we want Nigeria to be like Dubai in UAE, we must be open to the world with fairness and justice. No tribalism, no racism. We must make our country attractive, not running outside with our resources.
And finally, If we want our country to be like Britain, we must develop our education to meet our needs, be discipline
and no African time.
All of the above cannot be possible without innovation and realistic implementation of ideas, but only a purposeful leader can make it happen.
As we approach 2015 general election, I urge all Nigerians to set aside their tribal, regional and religious consideration.
We should make our personal interest less valuable to our collective interest.
Don’t be deceived by politicians, don’t be blinded by region or ethnicity, be guided by truth and national interest.
That is the only way to make Nigeria great.
Mr.Rights

5 facts about O TO GE slogan and the collapse of Saraki's dynasty

-
Image
Kwara Must Change 1. Alh. LAK Jimoh was the first politician in modern history of Kwara state to use the O TO GE slogan in a campaign. O TO GE simply means, Enough is Enough.  Alhaji Jimoh first used the slogan in 2011 when he was contesting the Kwara Central Senatorial seat under the People's Democratic Party (PDP). Bukola Saraki eventually won the ticket and went ahead to represent Kwara Central at the Senate.  While the slogan wasn't popular at the time, there's no taking away the fact that Alh LAK Jimoh used it first and could be rightly credited to be the originator. 2. 8 years later, the slogan idea was pitched again in 2018 immediately after the All Progressive Congress primary election in Kwara State. After the APC primary election, Islamic singer, Aminat Obirere produced a song titled o to ge as part of a joint album coordinated by Kwara Must Change to promote the candidature of APC governorship candidate, Alh. Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq. The album itself was titled

Sarah took to Facebook on December 7th 2017 to narrate her experience. She wrote: I don't post many deeply personal things online, but I want to share this.

CONSTITUENCY PROJECTS AND NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS: THREAT OR OPPORTUNITY? BY JAYE GASKIA

-
Image
Fourteen years after the practice and phenomenon of Constituency projects began to evolve in the legislative practice and appropriation process of the 4th Republic, the phenomenon has grown to become pervasive across the Federation with both Federal and state legislatures now fully embracing the practice. Yet, nearly a decade and half on, there is still no clarity regarding the practice, with respect to any form of agreed framework guiding its implementation. There is, as of the moment of writing this piece in 2018, no policy, legislative nor institutional framework underlying and providing not only pragmatic, but also scientific criteria and parameter for determining the why, how, and where of constituency projects. And even though there are currently draft bills being considered by both chambers of the National Assembly [NASS] aimed at providing a regulatory framework for the practice, the bills have nevertheless remained stuck within the opaque labyrinth of the legislative proce

........ call on Nigerians to trust INEC An independent Non Governmental Organisation, Foundation for Peace Professionals (FPP) has called on the Nigerian people to have faith in their country & give chance to Government Institutions like Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), being the Nigerian electoral body to finish up what its started. The elections cannot be concluded if announcement of Presidential election results cannot be made. The organisation frowned at reckless statements coming from political parties, organisations and foreign  individuals aimed at heating up the polity just to pitch Nigerians against each other. In a statement issued by the Executive Director, Abdulrazaq Hamzat, FPP stated that after the successful conduct of the 2019 general election, the two leading political parties in Nigeria have been raising false alarms without basis. According to Hamzat, "the baseless and unsubstantiated alarms being raised by the ruling All Progress

IBB had no respect for sycophants - Col. Abubakar Dangiwa (Part 2)

The Col. Abubakar Dangiwa Umar story (part two) "My relationship with General Babangida" “I had on several occasions in the past explained why I enjoy a very close relationship with IBB. IBB was my instructor at the Nigerian Defence Academy. Since then, I found him to be a very brilliant and inspiring officer. In fact, he had great influence on my career choice of the armoured corps, being an amour officer himself. Of course, we had disagreements, some of them quite straining, but they have not succeeded m changing my perception of him. This is true with most officers who worked closely with the man. With all this, I had never allowed such a close personal relationship to becloud my vision and judgment of his performance as a superior officer, particularly during his eight‑year rule as President and C‑in‑C. Mr. Edwin Madunagu, a man I have high regards for as an accomplished intellectual and a socially concerned person, confirmed what I have always suspected that most ou

What Drake has in common with Davido

-

If you have been following the American hip hop scene lately, you must have heard about the beef between Drake and Pusha T, the President of kanye West Good Music. On Friday, Pusha T dropped Daytona, a 21-minute album currently making wave in America. Closing out the album’s seven-track run was “Infrared,” a lyrical track addressing the dubious artistry of Drake, a longtime thorn in Push’s side. On the infrared track, Pusha T slammed Drake once again for using ghost writer and many others. In the usual Drake manner, the God’s Plan hit maker fired back with a track titled “Duppy Freestyle”—released less than 24 hours after Pusha T’s album dropped, where he dispensed the grievances about his history with ghostwriting. Drake went further to drag Kanye West into the rap battle, saying he had once assisted Kanye on a track, a collaboration well aknowleded by Mr. West. In the Drake’s response, he also dragged the name of Pusha T’s wife into the battle and all hell let loose.
