Without mincing words, the hangers around of Mr President should
educate him on the need for having so many ministries in Nigeria. It is no news
neither in Nigeria nor in any part of the world that the civil service is a
means by which a government engages her people so as to reduce unemployment.
They have never justified their pay anywhere in the world but they must be
there and even increase by the day. I don’t know where Mr President got the
idea of reducing Nigeria’s work force when we are seriously faced with an unequalled
rate of unemployment. This thought of Mr President should be jettisoned. What
he should be thinking of now should be on how to create a conducive working
environment for investors and their businesses to thrive. I have always maintained
that corruption is socially and not biologically conceived. Nigerians have
suffered enough in what we called capitalism which in a simple word is
government stealing from her people, now we need to try a little of socialism
which in our context should be, government giving to her people. PMB should
please come out of his comfort, royal and bourgeoisie position to the level
where he can relate and feel the pulse of his people. We are fed with all these
threats on our lives. One of the cardinal responsibilities of a responsive
government is to provide for her people and not to threaten their sources of
livelihood. The inconsistencies in our government policies is denying this
country a lot, no serious business man or institution will want to have any
dealings with such government. Today we are placing a ban on rice; tomorrow the
ban is lifted without any concern on those who ventured into rice planting
because of the government policy. Please like I said earlier, let Mr. President
kill the thought or idea of merging or
closing any ministry, we have more than enough to get all Nigerians comfortable, that our leaders messed up our country should not be a reason why the common Nigerian should pay with his/her blood, all he has to do is to set up strong institutions to ensure that every money spent
in this country is justifiably accounted for and anyone found guilty of corruption or stealing is meant to face the wrath of the law not minding how highly placed he/she is. Thank you
