Bad Governance And The Safety Of Public Institutions

-


It is common to hear or read on the pages or the social media that government should tackles the root causes of poverty, insecurity, human rights abuses and socio-economic instability among other things bedeviling Nigeria.

Over the years that has been the appeal by majority of Nigerians to their leaders to do for them, but things are getting worse every day. The question is what went wrong and Who is to be blame?

Maiha Cut off Road In Adamawa State, Nigeria

Of recent a boarder community of Maiha in Maiha local government of Adamawa state has been cut off from the rest of the world as a result of heavy down pour . Their road has been in deplorable situation for years they cried times without number, at the end the road cut off, killed two and destroyed property worth millions.

To the community they see politicians only during electioneering campaigns, after elections they don’t see them again.The story of Maiha is every where in Nigeria.

Apart from roads other sectors suffers too. Education, health, security, economic and many more are in sorry state.

Public institutions are longer performing as they were designed. Our Hospitals, Schools, Security and other institutions are operating far below expectations.

The irony of it is that as public institutions declines, private institutions are getting better day by day . The question is why is it so? The answer is bad governance. The laws of the land are no longer obeyed.

Worried by this, some Nigerians forward their submissions during the just concluded public hearings on constitutional review, that public institutions be protected by the construction and communities be given powers too in the governance and only people with proven integrity be allow to occupy public offices and contest elections..

Poor socioeconomic performance, human rights abuses, widespread poverty and corruption and lack of trust in the political system are all product of Bad Governance.

In a country where 60% of the population are under the age of 25, there is need to address things that promote bad governance.

The human Lost of bad governance is evident in the low level of basic infrastructure, weak health care and education system among others. Hence the need for electing competent and honest leaders, Free press, community involvement in governance, strong laws to punish corrupt persons in the society with these and more our society will be peaceful, strong and developed

  A student Promoting The Use Of Local Language For Our Educational Development In Nigeria It is common to see or to hear people laughing at someone because he can’t speak good English. That he is being considered not intelligent for poor pronouncements of some words in English. In the southern region of the country some men or women don’t get the respect they deserved in life because of their tongue tune to English pronouncement. No wonder some parents prepare their wards early to learn and speak only English than their mother tongue. As a result many languages were endangered. Picture from google However such attitude has immensely affected our socioeconomic development because our youth can’t produce anything that can improve the nation’s well being Today China and the rest of the Asian Tigers have dominated African markets with their goods. Goods that they produced through learning technology by their languages forcing us to buy the products because of high demand from ou...

Followers of the popular Hausa series LABARINA showing on the famous Arewa 24 have recently been bombarded with what some described as degrading   journalism profession where one of the producers of the series Who also featured as Sarkin Waka directed his aid to give a journalist a fare after an interview. His action was condemned by many. After the show of the episode 11 of season 3 of the series attacks and counter attacks dominated the air all over the Hausa speaking areas and some journalists even threaten to sue the producers of the series for deformation of character. The question is are journalists not receiving gratitude to either kill a story or turn black to white?   The   answer is, some do accept that. That is why journalists called it brown envelope or Roger or choppe. As there are bad journalists so also bad actors. Bag eggs are every where. The producers should have portraits the good side of the job rather than the bad. After all the journalist fea...
