The first step to becoming a totally independent nation in terms of our need as a nation is for everyone to change our collective thinking. We need to upgrade our thinking, we need to stop seeing school as a medium for qualification towards job security. Instead, as a means of changing society. the nations of Europe, America and Asia did not arrive at the enviable state we all still dream of today by just being a nation of job seekers. No! they consciously took steps that led them to where they are today. The aim of this blog is therefore to change our perspective toward employment as well as give information that will enable us, as a nation to be numbered among the committee of industrialized nations of the world in no distant time. Another important fact is that, to get to that desired position among the committee of industrialize nation, it is a collective effort. It's time to stop giving excuses.

Prime movers of Agriculture!

It is good that the clamour for Nigerians to return to agriculture from the Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration of 1976 has been sustained by successive government. However, the problem with most of the call to return to agriculture is that those clamouring for such end with the thought of exporting the agricultural produce, this I disagree with. The question is ‘who are the farmers?’ because most times we want everybody to go back to the farm and if I understand what we are saying we are simply encouraging subsistence farming which from age past have never reduce unemployment or increase government revenue. What types of agriculture should we then do?

Advise Government to Invest in manufacturing

over the years, government has come out to give assistance to Nigerian entrepreneurs especially the SMEs but it seems the employment rate, the import rate continue to be on the increase. somebody may ask why? The reason is not far fetch, only 10 % of such interventions made their way to the manufacturing sector, most goes into marketing and other services. For any country to however reduce unemployment and importation rate, the chunk of government investment should go into the manufacturing sector. the government should also protect that sector with utmost jealousy. It is time to take the bull by the horn and do the needful until every job seeker in Nigeria gets job. Government officials especially the President and labour minister should also visit our seaports to verify the goods we bring in. If they can be produced here then they are not suppose to be brought here, simple.

Integrity of policies!

Until Nigeria has integrity of policies, our country cannot change!                                  - Benedict Okorie If we say we are banning the importation of any product into Nigeria. It should also come emphatically with duration, say 5 months, 1 year, 5 years or even 10 years. This should also be independent of political party at the helm of affairs. So if party A makes the policy to ban a product for a number of years and party B defeats party A in the general election, party B should also allow that ban until that number of years as pronounced by party A. That's integrity! Anyone willing to go into local production knows the number of years he/she has before the ban is lifted. You will realized that we would have had market leaders before the ban will be lifted. Another aspect of policy I will like government to look...
