NIGERIA @ 60

 NIGERIA @ 60

Fellow Nigerians, Nigeria is a great country which gained independence in October, 1960. Since then what are our assessment.!

          A woman that was given birth to in 1960 would have gotten to her retirement age in Nigeria, If all thing been equally she would have given birth in her 20’s to 30’s she would have fully grown children and grand children so 60 years is enough for a country like Nigeria to be fully grown. But to our despair Nigeria has been like a pendulum moving to and fro if not a stagnant water, no lies there has been some significant positive changes but we need more for the so called giant of Africa.

He enumerated the problem of Nigeria thus; The "federal character" principle, which has been enshrined in Nigeria's Constitution since 1979, seeks to ensure that appointments to public service institutions fairly reflect the linguistic, ethnic, religious, and geographic diversity of the country. 

         MKO Abiola ran for the presidency in 1993, for which the election results were annulled by the preceding military president Ibrahim Babangida because of allegations that they were corrupt and unfair.

Abiola was awarded the GCFR posthumously on 6 June 2018 by President Muhammadu Buhari and Nigeria's democracy day was changed to June 12. 

Abiola was a personal friend of Babangida and he is believed to have supported Babangida's coming to power. 

Abiola's support in the June 1993 presidential election cut across geo-political zones and religious divisions, among a few politicians to accomplish such a spread during his time. By the time of his death, he had become an unexpected symbol of democracy. 

       In 1993 the MKO was a muslim and his running mate in person of Babagana Kinigbe was also amuslim but the mass voting age population voted MKO in which was later annulled by the then military head of state,The people voted for true democracy, which contradict with what we have now the people know elect candidate base on what they have in common either ethnicity,religion etc. I believe Nigeria will be great if we can vote for a NIGERIAN PRESIDENT and not a Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa president.

     Everyone blames the government for every problem in Nigeria we all have to lace our boots and be ready to fight for a greater Nigeria,let put a stop to siddon look, lets stop the mediocrity been practice in Nigeria, Nigerian has a spirit to struggle past any problem we suffer and smile. Let continue our twiiter thread but also make more physical action,lets don’t make our dear country be a laughing stock internationally,don’t make our next  generation see a bad Nigeria,let paint a perfect picture of Nigeria. 

In conclusion,we Nigerian are great people let make Nigeria great place,let make our fallen hero who laid their live for our great country’s independence happy from their grave. Thanks for reading

An Insight of Technological development on Agriculture.

 Nigeria, as one of the best food producing country, needs some electronic innovation  in the field of agriculture. Monitoring and control of farming  environment play a crucial role in farming production and  management. Farm lands and plantations in Nigeria and  west African countries are usually very large scale running thousands of acres and in most cases fencing these large  expanses of land are prohibitively expensive and really overwhelming.  Farmers therefore act by putting together fences using  sticks and ropes and these provide the individual security measure  they can adopt. These security measures are feather-brained and really ineffective as intruders can easily jump them and move  away with the yielding amount of crops as they will carry them without the  knowledge of the owners, especially when such fences are erected around dark crevices. Also, with this situations in  West Africa where farmers face security th...

Hunger and Malnutrition in Nigeria

 A lot has happened over the last 4 to 5 decades. We've seen a whole african giant diversify from agriculture to oil, and making so much money and revenue from this sector. We've seen many Nigerians struggle for survival just to make sure they put smiles on their family faces, Many have tried, Many have succeeded, many have failed. The problem doesn't just lie in hunger and malnutrition in our country today. An average Nigerian could work all day and night just to get a meal for his/her family to eat, thinking he has surmounted all his trouble for that day, and look up to the next.  Very painful to admit, .... But are these meals safe A lingering questions in the mind of everything sympathetic Nigerian today. Nigerians has suffered not only on the low  quantity of food produced but also on the quality of food produced , these two great factors has realy destroyed the shape of the food industry in Nigeria, who do not only die from hunger(lack of food),...
