Tag: DISCIPLINE

Some recommendations way are outlined here from the analysis of the various opinions in these topics.

DISCIPLINE

Late Professor Chinua Achebe had earlier asserted that the problem Nigeria suffers from is fundamentally the failure of leadership. He argued that the failure of leadership lay at the root of Nigeria’s problems. Another problem Nigeria suffers from however, is indiscipline. Nigeria is where she is today due to insincere leadership, corruption but most of all, Indiscipline. It is indiscipline that will prompt a police officer to receive bribe that will jeopardize national security as well as hamper the trust the people they swear to protect have on them. It is indiscipline that will make school teachers, lecturers to collect money in order to pass an unserious student. It is also indiscipline that will drive a decorated army officer to sell out his nation for a price. Indiscipline is the chief of all misconfigure of our national problem.

Discipline in the action and behavior of individuals and groups in the private and public sector will inadvertently root out bribery and corruption, bad leadership and several other problems facing our country Nigeria.

 PERFUSE IN NOVEL INTELLIGENT

The rural areas in Nigeria accounts for a large percentage of the Nigerian population, however; some of these areas lack some essential social services and social amenities. One of such social services is fundamental basic education. This problem was addressed by the government through the creation of Government Schools around the country, burin most of these schools, the standards of teaching and learning are extremely poor. However, individuals and non – governmental organizations are at the forefront of the investment on innovative literacy. The Center of Development Support Initiative (CEDSI), a registered charity geared towards promoting good governance and sustainable development in rural communities has, over the past ten years, carried out development initiatives in over 500 communities. One of the unique efforts of CEDSI is the library ports literacy group. Each resource center is a one – stop center where young people can learn life – long skills. The centers have a music academy, library and bookshop. Young people are encouraged to develop skills in reading, writing and spelling as well as debate on civic issues. Investing in ideas such as these can help to radically stamp out illiteracy particularly in rural Nigeria, hence equipping the nation with the human resources for sustainable development.

ADVOCATING FOR JUSTICE AND EQUALITY

The Unity and Positive Change in a New Nigeria (UPCINN) is founded by lawyer Abby Ojo, it is dedicated to portraying Nigeria in a new light, promoting Nigerian culture and highlighting tourist attractions and showcasing new and ongoing development in the different states in the country. UPCINN believes that every citizen of a nation must contribute to the positive change of the country and be passionate about the good of the country, not just leave all the work to their government. In April, UPCINN worked with other well meaning organizations to organize a worldwide demonstration and campaign to recognize the constitutional (human) rights of the disabled and autistic people in Nigeria. Nigerians both at home and abroad are tired of the status quo and they are united in demanding more from Nigerian leaders through their democratic and constitutional rights as citizens.

AVOIDANCE OF BRIBERY AND CORRUPT PRACTICES

Bribery is something that has permeated the facet of the Nigerian social system. Most Nigerians have participated in facilitating it either directly or indirectly. Bribery is now a common phenomenon in the daily life of some Nigerians that it no longer seems evil. However, this problem needs to be stopped by a conscious mental and physical effort on the part of Nigerians, and not only those in positions of power and authority. Effective policies should be put in place to regulate the conduct of officers in the public sector to checkmate their activities in order ensure adequate service delivery in the public sector.

 INVESTMENT IN ALTERNATE ECONOMIC SECTORS

         Ever since the oil booms of the 1970’s, the focus of the national economy gradually shifted from agriculture into crude oil. The effect of this shift of economic priorities was a monopolization of the Nigerian economy by the oil sector and the neglect of other highly profitable sectors of the Nigerian economy. The agricultural sector, the tourism sector, the mining sector, the art and craft sector and many other sectors of the Nigerian economy have greatly suffered due to this neglect. However, if the administration focuses more attention into these sectors and properly invest in them, Nigeria could double its GDP and increase its export to other nations, therefore greatly participating in the global economy and increasing in human capital index, standard of living and other measures for globally assessing the overall standard of a nation. In conclusion, there are several other ways not mentioned here, of making Nigeria a better place; the reason for that is due to the fact that opinions vary regarding the ways and manners in which Nigeria could be made a better place. However, if the steps listed above are thoroughly implemented, Nigeria will witness a radical transformation in its political, economic and social institutions. As such, it will function better in harmony and equilibrium.
