CREATING POSITIVE CHANGE IN NIGERIA - PART TWO




Preambles: According to John Mason – All humankind is divided into three classes: Those that are unchangeable, those that are changeable, and those that cause change.

In continuation of the above subject matter I will now go into the other four areas of change.

Political Change:
Perhaps the most difficult aspect of change that Nigeria is passing through is political change. Right from the days of our colonial master- Britain, we are yet to make any meaningful progress in this area. This is due to a number of reasons: 1. Selfishness, 3. Ethnic Differences, 4. Religious Intolerance, 5. Corruption etc. Nevertheless, we can still achieve positive results in this area if we truly respect one and others needs and aspirations. One way to achieve this is by implementation of the outcome of the previous national conference resolutions that was conducted under former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GCFR).

Environmental Change:
Due to the interference with the ecology most of our lands are suffering from terrible ecological degradation. Government must show greater commitment to restoring the environment to its original condition. To do this Government must carry out proper study of the environment and also establish good laws to protect the environment from further hazards.

Economic Change:
A proper control and use of the available resources of the country will help to improve our economy and create positive change in this area. So much of our resources have been wasted due to mismanagement.  The flaring of our natural gas by the oil companies, in the Niger Delta Region is a good example.

Bureaucratic Change:
Bureaucracy is the greatest impediment to the progress of our country. A lot of changes must be made so as to bring about positive change in our bureaucratic system. These includes: issues of 1. Contract Award, 2. Due Process, 3. Finance and Banking Policies, 4. Administration. 5. Government Policies. etc.

Thank you for reading.
