Debt Forgiveness! Debt Forgiveness!! Debt Forgiveness! by
However you want to qualify or define it, is not for a country so blessed like Nigeria. We have so much resources and funds just like in the days of General Yakubu Gowon. Our problem however is how to manage our resources and make the country a better place for you and me. From the Presidency down to everyone involved in running Nigeria, don't you think all these countries that we are running to for debt forgiveness understands who we are and the way we do things? Mind you my people in government, they do. They know how wasteful we are with our resources and how our leaders lack the management skills required to run their homes, talk less of a country. Our attention should be on how to make a change. We have enough intellectuals to make Nigeria a better place and they are even holding different cabinets in the government right now. Why they are not doing it is another story entirely. We might need a psychologist to evaluate them. I do implore the people in government to sit back and make the best use of what is available to them and forget this debt forgiveness stuff. Stop washing our dirty linens in the open. Get with the program. We're all living in a global world that Nigeria is a big part of. Management! Management!! Management!!! Bola Osinuga, New York
Provision of incentive for Nigerians to invest in Nigeria. Nigeria! Nigeria!! Nigeria!!! When are we going to wake up? We spend so much time going after foreign investors to come to our country. For Nigeria to move forward, the word "FOREIGN" should be left off our daily usage. I do believe in a globalized market for the world. But, what happened to the saying " Charity begins at home" If the government provides incentive to Nigerians and make the country investment friendly, we do not have to waste our time going after foreign investors,it should be the reverse. Foreign investors/venture capitalists all over the world are out to make money. They have tons of market research specialist out there looking for prospective countries to invest in, Nigeria is not a part of this. We are considered high risk. No one in there right mind would invest in high risk area with a high chance of not making a profit, but also losing capital. The foreign investors we see in our midst today are the crooks. They know how to swindle us, they have done it before and doing it now. We need to wake up. They are playing the short term game. They are in the works with the so called big people in the government to increase the sufferness of the masses. Provide for Nigerians the same incentives being provided to the "FOREIGNERS", we deserve more as Nigerians. President, ministers, governors, local chairmen and others, spend more time with your people and ask them what they can do for the country and their local communities in form of investments and provide the necessary incentives. Whereby creating more employment for the masses and boosting the economy. Do this and you would see the amount of true "FOREIGNERS" that would be willing to invest in our beloved country, Nigeria.
