Is This Guy Correct About Nigeria???

Two million Mohammadu Buharis cannot Change Nigeria says John Zibiri.

That is what many of you don't understand when you say come home.

This is what John Zibiri has to say:

I worked and lived in Abuja for 18 years. I ran my own private company from 2001 until 2014.

Two million of the likes of  Buhari cannot change Nigeria.

Everything  is wrong with Nigeria. The Director  won't  give  you  Contract  except  you  pay  up front .
The banks  won't  give  you  loan  except  you concede  a certain  percentage .
The man supervising the contract  won't pass the job except  you play ball. The clerk  won't pass your file for payment  except  you rob his palm.

The account department  won't raise your payment  voucher  or cheque unless you see them. I can go on and on.

The worst thing is that it has become a norms that nobody  sees anything wrong with. If you think otherwise , they begin to think you are sick and not normal. If you try to stand in there  way, you put your  life at risk. If you get killed  there is no justice  system in place  to seek redress and bring the perpetrators to book.

The police is corrupt , the Judge is same. Nobody cares about anybody. No law and order. I looked from my left to right, everybody is only desperate about one thing "money".

They we will kill anybody and anything that stand between  them and money. I am an electrical engineer with MNSE  and COREN.

The system don't care about my qualifications. Distribution and transmission jobs are given to alhajis, friends and relatives  without any basic skills. I started asking myself, how do I convince  my kids that education  and hard work  is rewarding? When fools, agberos  and touts  are running  the country, fom National Assembly  to Presidency.

Is this what my four sons will also go through. In 2014 I decided I have had enough. I decided I was leaving. I immigrated to Australia  with  my family. Don't put your self in harms way for any reason. the problem  of Nigeria is in the hands of Nigerians living in Nigeria.

Try starting a gate house in your village, everybody wants to profiteer from it.

The bricklayer, the carpenter, the mason and even your brother who claim to be supervising on your behalf.

They are corrupt, morally  bankrupt and selfish. Everybody there thinks about himself and nobody is thinking about Nigeria .

You don't have to be the one to go there to change anything . Let those under the hammer start the revolution. I beg make we hear word.

Arise O'compatriots!

The elections have come and gone and have been lost and won. It's time to build the country via economic advancements not by political arguments (as to who is better or worse than the other).
Like it or not,we have made an outstanding achievement already under President Buhari. We are now living a peaceful life as against a distorted and disturbing lifestyle we were leading before the elections. Boko Haram no longer post videos of terror,rather,they are now releasing the Chibok girls in bits. Thank God and kudos to the Nigerian Military and of course,the Buhari regime.
Yes,Buhari have committed a lot of blunders too,most of which are economic in nature. Is that enough reason for us to keep our hands folded as we have always done and do NOTHING but argue and complain endlessly on social media???
My Clarion Call to the Youths
Unless we do something really positive about Nigeria, we would continue to rot away in poverty despite our immense store of wealth! We need to be proactive and make Nigeria work.
There's nothing we can do to improve the economy, this is why a good number of Nigerians fold their arms and watch the good things of life pass them by. I totally disagree. There's a whole lot we can do without the government. But,first things first!
Let Us Assume that there's No Government
Unless we do that,we would still be expecting them to do one MAJOR thing or the other for us. The BLUNT TRUTH is that we might wait till eternity!
In my immediate community the former senator, Senator Gbemisola Saraki sank a borehole water source in the area. It was meant to be a motorized borehole but we ended up with a manual one. We were grateful all the same. We enjoyed it for a year or two without a single problem. So,when it developed a fault,some of us opined we make contributions to get it fixed but some elders think we should call on the Senator to help us repair it. We got help after a long while but it didn't last long. It went faulty again,we had the impression that repairs were to be free but we started paying heavily for it.
To cut the long story short,the community finally agreed to convert the borehole to a motorized one since the manual type is no longer reliable. But how???
The elders asked us to wait on the local government but I and 2 other guys didn't think it was right. Elections were in the corner so the elders thought of seeking it as a reward for voting any aspiring candidate into power. It didn't work out as both APC & PDP made promises they didn't fulfil. It was through community efforts that the borehole is working today.
We need to do the same in Nigeria. Unless we forget them,we wouldn't realize how powerful and capable we are as a people. Today, in my community, the problem is no longer water but electric power and bad roads. Insha Allah,we shall be tackling the roads very soon.
Little Drops of Water makes a Mighty Ocean
Rome was not built in a day. It's going to be pretty slow but we shall get there. The community can be advanced without the help of the government PROVIDED the people of the community are ready to work hard on it.
It was estimated that we would need between N300 000 and N400 000 to convert the borehole to a motorized one,but,in the end,I doubt if we spent more that N250 000. This money was raised through the imposture of a levy. We simply broke down the cost and spread it over the whole community and voila! We discovered that should every member agrees to pay just N1000 to the course,we would get it done!
In Reality,it doesn't cost that much to get it Right.
It was during the course of the borehole project that I discovered that the contractors in collaboration with people in government release a very high estimation depending on the level of government that's involved and the quality of the project that's intended.
For instance,if the borehole were to be proposed to the government, our estimation has to be like N1.1 million whereas it actually costs less than N250 000.
So, please, don't be fooled by the prices that you hear on the news. It doesn't really cost that much.
Be a Responsible Resident of your Community
Unless you are socially responsible, all the stories I've been relating to you won't make sense to you. I'm appealing ONLY to the socially responsible. That's why I titled this right up 'Arise O'Comaptriots'. This is because it's only the patriots that can be inspired by this.
God Bless Nigeria,
God Bless the Patriots,
God Bless us all!!!

National Economic Recession

This is as copied from a friend on Facebook:
ECONOMIC RECESSION:
It has not been easy and nobody is pretending that it will be, but Nigerians have to understand that we must pass through this very difficult phase before things get better, and macroeconomics is no respecter of persons or regimes. It took President Obama the whole of his first term to reverse the tide of economic meltdown brought about by the fiscal recklessness of Bush administration to fund the Saddam-Iraq war; and the global recession, and it was only halfway through his second term that the outlook turned positive.
With the best policies, economists and largest fiscal footprint in the world, it took the United States almost six years to turn the tide from the economic meltdown that manifested at the end of the Bush administration. The economy does not respond to lamentations or criticism or political chicanery; and it took eight years of systemic maladministration under an atmosphere of unprecedented oil wealth to bring us to this sorry state. Why does anyone expect Buhari to wave a magic wand and suddenly shore up the value of naira, reflate our foreign reserves and crash food prices country wide? Have you counted the zeros behind the numbers coming out of the reports on stolen funds? Are you aware that our inherited foreign reserves are only slightly more than the amount in private domiciliary accounts? Do you know that illicit funds traced to a few individuals can fund several months of foreign exchange auctions? Are you aware of million dollars of NMA concealed and non-remitted to federal government TSA/CBN account by Hullmark Bank? Did you hear the recent news about the concealed and unremitted NNPC s’ over $2 billion to TSA/CBN account by nine commercial banks with Hullmark Bank inclusive? All this on a flimsy excuse that remittance of such money will lead to crash of the country banking sector!
I think we should thank our God and breathe a collective sigh of relief that a change at the helm of affairs has probably brought this country back from the brink of collapse, because a continuation of the former Jonathan government would not have exposed the mess we were in, we would just wake up one day and find that they have taken their private jets and handed over what is left of the country to Boko Haram insurgents, Biafra agitators, Niger Delta Avengers and Fulani herders.
It is not a question of policy, the fact is bleeding and wastage has to be stopped and a clear signal sent out that it cannot be business as usual; and I think what has been achieved in that regard in the last 12 months is nothing short of miracle. To be honest with ourselves, what was handed over to Buhari last year of the country was not far fetch from what Obama inherited in 2008 on assumption of the mantle of leadership in US.
Please REFLECT, RECONSIDER, REVERSE your negative attitudes today!
Regards!

Buhari's Certificate Saga:A BIG Show of Shame!

Hmmm....
'Buhari get certificate, Buhari no get certificate ' that's the new song in town now.
Before I continue, I would like to apologize for the long break. I'm very sorry,by the special Grace of the Almighty,I shall see to it that I update more regularly. Now,straight to business!
I find it quite amusing to see the ruling party desperately looking for ways to discredit the opposition party. Initially, it was the case of whether the opposition were behind the senseless killings of boko haram,then,afterwards,it was the Islamization of the country and now, funny enough,it is the WAEC result issue.
I don't know how you see it,but,to me,all this controversies continue to make the opposition party much stronger and the ruling weaker! I would like us to be realistic,if the General (General Muhammad Buhari, the opposition's presidential candidate,A.P.C.) has no school leaving certificate and has served in the army for decades without hitches or problems,does it speak well of the Nigerian Army? I don't think so!

THE MILITARY PRESS RELEASE, A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!

Personally, I used to think very highly of the Nigerian Military, this is why yesterday's press release from their quotas shocked me! It was such a disappointment!
If WAEC is a criteria for enrolling as a soldier and one of the applicant couldn't provide it and you accepted a statement of result from a secondary school as substitute, isn't it only logical that you investigate the matter and ensure that the certificate is later provided? Please, note that we are not talking of a new serving recruit here,we are actually talking of a RETIRED GENERAL!
This is a man who had been recruited and have served in the military in various capacities and have participated in many military courses during his rise in the military hierarchy... Bros, I am talking of a GENERAL here!
If per chance he got enrolled as a junior officer without his WAEC,is it not only sensible he provides the certificate before he is recommended for ANY course at all? On reading his profile, he passed a course of 'Strategic Planning ' in the US WAR COLLEGE! How was he enrolled for the course, with what credentials was a he registered into the US War College, is it with the Principal's note or the statement of result? I don't know if you are getting me? Because for the military to have enrolled a soldier without the necessary papers shows a high level of incompetence in the military! If you cannot provide the certificate with which one of your Generals was enrolled into the military and you SHAMELESSLY affirmed this on mass,then,I say to you that you are a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!

INEC'S SILENCE,HYPOCRITICAL AND UNFORTUNATE!

I don't know if the present dispensation takes us for a fool. Buhari had started contesting for the Presidency since 2003 and has always been cleared by INEC. His qualifications hasn't been in doubt,why is it now,hasn't he been registering for the candidacy since 2003, what has changed,does it mean that all this while, he has not the required qualifications and yet he had gotten 3 consecutive clearance to contest? Abeg, Jega, answer us fa!
The silence of the INEC, to me is most unfortunate and deafening indeed! If INEC has been clearing him for election since 2003 and there's an eyebrow raised as to his qualifications today, I think it's only moral and logical that INEC explains how and why he (General Buhari) has always gotten cleared for elections so as to clear the air once and for all! INEC owe Nigerians explanation and a lot it for that matter! Their refusal to talk ON TIME is most hypocritical and sentimental!

TO THE GENERAL...

I'll say well done! Since,unfortunately, the Military has disappointed you and Nigerians as a whole, may I suggest you visit the WAEC office to seek the re-issuance of your WAEC results, they should still possess your result IN YOUR PERSONAL FILE unlike the military who has only your statement of results and never bothered to seek for the original.

PERSONALLY...

I haven't and would NEVER take the issue seriously because even the worst scenerio doesn't disqualify the General! He already possess other higher certificates WHICH WERE NOT FORGED AND FROM HIGHLY REPUTABLE INSTITUTIONS!
The issue here is like a person that seeks employment and was asked to provide a minimum qualification of a degree and he presented a master's degree. Then,one of the contenders for the job shouted foul that the said candidate has no school leaving certificate! Isn't it ridiculous?
Okay,let's assume it's true,Buhari attended a secondary school,a reputable Nigerian school, got into the army,Nigerian Army,scaled up the ranks and files of the Army and have, during this time been sent BY THE ARMY for more military training and have obtained higher certificates in the process,despite the very shameful announcement of the Army whose problem,REALLY, is the certificate issue,is it that of a honorable citizen who had served his country selflessly for decades or that of a government organ that refused to keep updated info of its staff?
What are they saying, are they saying that his service in the military is null and void? Should that be the case,he should be expected to return all funds expended on him during his service year as well as the pension benefits he has received so far! If,however, his qualifications to enroll in the military is intact and Okay, then I believe, tendering higher level certificates should over rule the WAEC results. Therefore, the issue of whether he has WAEC result or not is irrelevant!
Whatever happens the military's press release has degraded it so much in my personal ratings that I begin to wonder if the whole military altogether isn't a SHAM!

Abdurrahman.
