This is an honest campaign (The YouTube video campaign), but sometimes addressing the root of a problem is better than photoshopping it. The Rhetoric should be Nigeria take back what few ostentatious unpatriotic citizens and foreigners have taken from you.
if in one state and within 16years two Governors took 34billion Naira from the State Fund pool, the other politicians and stakeholders in Government took another 34x10billion Naira, and they are still taken, the results are the obvious narratives;worsening infrastructure in schools, worsening road, worsening housing, worsening power supply, worsening healthcare, worsening welfare for the senior citizens.
The Rhetoric should be Nigeria take back what few ostentatious, unpatriotic citizens and foreigners have taken from you.
When you offer a solution like inexpensive solar streetlights, as cheap as N36,000.00 for the supply and replacement of existing dysfunctional streetlights with 100W LED all in one Streetlight.
With about 40KM roads in Ikeja, the budget is 28.8Million Naira, @ one every 50m, 800pieces of solar-powered streetlight, that will not fail at least 2-3years and low maintenance ( just wipe the face of the panels every month and rain will also make for self-maintenance). with that budget, Lagos road can be Lit with 28.8 Million Naira x 130 = 3.8 Billion Naira.
Imagine spending 3.8 Billion Naira to lit Lagos state, Imagine how nightlife will improve tremendously with that token.
What changes all the mathematics is the greed of some politicians; when the same solar light that is originally 36,000.00 Naira, is offered at POLITICAL PRICE of 360,000.00 Naira per piece. The ripple effect of that is only one-tenth of the roads will be done (10% of the original length of road; 492km of the road as against 4921km. or spending 38billion naira for what 3.8billion would have achieved.
Imagine the Government spending extra 34billion Naira that could be deployed to meet other needs to feed some persons' greed. This is how the mathematics fails and sometimes and many times such a lofty agenda is struck out for many years.
The effects of Greedy Politicians and Other stakeholders overpricing are the obvious narratives; worsening infrastructure in schools, worsening road, worsening housing, worsening power supply, worsening healthcare, worsening welfare for the senior citizens and many others.
What would one expect Government to do, when the submitted offers are 10 times the allocation; obviously to do 10 times less.
The Rhetoric should be Nigeria take back what few ostentatious unpatriotic citizens and foreigners have taken from you by exposing such. Every Patriotic Nigerians have a right to publish such a genuine document showing such practices. Every Nigerian is a gatekeeper for the Progressive Philosophy Rhetorics. Every Nigerian Patriotic Consultant in charge of some Due diligence of some sort, must expose or resign to expose overpricing practices.
Why the Evil had prevailed is because some of the gatekeepers looked away; they should now look responsibly.
If the cost of running Government operations is fair, it may drop to 20% of what is it today and the 80% savings can go into the reserve and other CAPEX. In a very shorter period, the impact of Government shall be felt by Mr. Yakubu, a tailor at Ayetoro for just because he is a Nigerian and he will pride himself as one. From Hiworks
