Good and Bad Government in Nigeria

GOOD GOVERNMENT AND BAD GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA.
With the commencement of the foundation of this world both good and evil have been in existence. But that does not warrant the government to do bad if every nation not in good order. Their duty both to their various citizens and their great nation. Perhaps, many nations’ representatives or government leaders have failed woefully. A lot of governments are terribly bad most especially the Nigerian government officials or leaders who do not really care or have concern about the welfare condition of her citizens. The only thing they are mostly concern about is the way they will steal pubic fund – fund meant for the development of their country’s economy and citizens. Having said this, yearly Nigeria’s budgets never reduces but multiplying and things stated in the budget of this great country are not implemented meanwhile the government does steal the money and put it to their personal banks’ accounts but neglect all the necessary things they need to achieve. Under normal circumstances Nigeria as a nation who is highly blessed with various mineral resources is supposed to be prospering, excelling and be very great as United State of America and even United Kingdom that colonized her but due to bad government leaders who have been existing or ruling few years after independent that collapsed this great nation.
However, immediately after independence Nigeria and her government early leaders are still performing excellently because this great nation is endowed with different mineral resources in particular when oil was first discovered in Bayelsa State before the independent. And this added to the zeal of her citizens demanding for their citizenship right from the British colonial masters. Early stage of this independence of Nigeria 1950 everything was still working well because there were leaders who were greatly determined to change the face of Nigeria and made it to become like America and Europe. But due to greediness and selfishness leaders who came into lower for their personal interest that established the progress, unity, prosperity, fame economy and dignity of this great action and its environs in citizens few years after the independence 1960 some bad leaders emerged as leaders but in actual fact they are really terrible leaders who were not after the progress and success of the nation but destruction of lives and stealing of public fund. The first civilian president was killed i.e. Tafawa Balewa and his finance Mosntarte Festus Okotie Ebon by Aguniy Ironssi a military leader who forced himself on this great nation. Frankly speaking this nation has suffered in the hands of the military rulers a lot which is very bad because there were lots of killings by differs military leaders as well as embezzlement of both the resources of this nation oil and wealth. Military regime like Buhari, Babangida, Abacha, Abdul Kareem and Abusalam were terribly bad for this nation.

The worst part of all these is the case of president Obasanjo who was brought out of prison after the death of Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola – a presidential candidate that won an election but was put inside prison by our military leaders through a “poisonous tea”. And Obasanjo was brought out of prison in order to compensate the Yoruba’s. And Nigerians thought that God has elected a “Joseph” out of their prison to come, bless and change the Nation but not knowing that another “devil” has emerged the throne of leadership. He was appointed the first time i.e. the first four (4) years but he imposed himself on them (Nigerians) for the second term. He did not win the election but it was rigged. Throughout the eight (8) years of his leadership, the only thing Nigerian could point to as an achievement is the mobile phones he brought to Nigeria. He was a heartless, selfish, wicked, demonic, and non concern president of this great nation.
Notwithstanding, compared to president Obama of America. A very great leader who has dynamic visions and ambition to greatly transformed United States of America as well as Africa continent. A leader by examples and various achievements. Whom people both in United States and outside could commend on that indeed he is a good leader. Another great leader is President Nelson Mandel of South Africa who seriously fought for his nation and greatly suffered in the hand of the “A partied leaders” in South Africa then. But one day he emerged and did his job excellently. In fact, the whole world commend on it that he is a good leader and various awards were given to him.
Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola of Lagos State Nigeria. A leader by example, a role model and an icon. A leader by various and dynamic achievements. A leader whom people in Lagos State, other states in Nigeria and some part of the world ascertained and as well see clearly all his numerous achievements. An Obama of Nigeria and someone who worth to be elected as the next president of Nigeria. Indeed Fashola is a very great leader and I commend on him!
Governor Bukola Saraki is also trying in Kwara State Nigeria. He is also doing his best for the development of his state but in actual fact his achievements cannot be compared with that of Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola of Lagos State.
Nevertheless, to mention but few, as we have both good and bad leaders- government in the country we also have good and bad once in the church, Pastors like E.A. Adeboye of R.C.C.G and Bishop Oyedepo of Winners and few others are good and great leaders who have affected the world positively. We also have bad eggs in our churches as well as the body of Christ; T.B. Joshua whom God has opened all his secret i.e. evil acts and today not only in Nigeria but also in other part of the world have known that they are terrible men of devil but not men of God that they claimed to be. It is a very great pity that people who claimed that they were men of God (M.O.G) but one day their dark cloud emerged and all their secret acts was exposed by God. So, it is one true that “if lies roles for a year it is one day the truth will caught up with it”.
Conclusively, in this world of ours nothing is hidden from God and anything that goes up definitely one day it shall surely come down. The best thing in life is to be doing good anywhere one find his or herself in this world. Whosoever that finds him or herself in the area of leadership position needs to know that it should be handled with extra care and concerns so as to be able to give proper and an accurate account both to God and men. I seriously believed that Nigerian’s government leaders must learn from leaders like Nelson Mandela, Babatunde Raji Fashola, Obama and other great achievers who has dynamically affected their states, nations and its environs effectively and efficiently. So as to bring newness into life. It gives a great joy making people happy and while doing this God too is exalted. So, any where you find yourself in life make sure you impact one good thing or the other into people’s lives!

If not, here it is below-revealed to you in step-by-step detail. This program is by no existence in many forms for at least a decade. But in the early days, it required a lot more time and effort, as well as an investment of a few hundred dollars. However thanks to libertyreserve and the internet, the investment is now virtually ZERO! And what¡¯s more, the entire process is FASTER, EASIER, and MORE LUCRATIVE than it has EVER been! This is the email sent to me:

After setting up your free libertyreserve account, confirming or verifying is AND putting (five dollars) #5.00 into your libertyreserve Account use the Account tab on libertyreserve to send $1.00 to each of the numbers on the list. Then remove the top one (#1) and place your libertyreserve number in the #5 spot in the list of numbers #1- #5. Remember your number becomes #5.
*** Make sure the subject of the payment says¡* *PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST* ***

Web camera software senses movement, sounds siren, captures images, records video, and sends captured images by email
I'm using web camera software. I
can webcast Internet video to watch my site
from anywhere.
With my new
camera software, I can run a streaming show
of my apartment visible online. This opens up a group
of opportunities, the surface of which has not even been scratched in today's world. I can use
this webcast for surveillance purposes, allowing me to see what's going on in my room
at any moment from a remote viewing station.
As long as I have the web camera
running and a remote workstation with Internet access, I can watch the home.
With the software and the camera, I can change the settings to capture video,
detect movement (if I don't want to keep the webcam running at all times),
or use a combination of a live feed and recorded video to realize a security
system that takes full advantage of new technology.
With a capture card,
I can easily move relevant video and screenshots to use on
any workstation.
With delicate data on my pc
and expensive stuff in my site,
it only makes sense to have a protection setup that I can monitor whenever I feel that my privacy
is being compromised. If I owned a small business or lived with roommates, I couldn't imagine
living without it.
New professional surveillance application works with
any webcam, Internet cameras, and major capture cards.
Surveillance application
has become so complicated that the average
user who has been busy minding his business instead of pouring over electronics and online
technology articles can be easily overwhelmed when it comes time to install or modernize his security system.
Fortunately, there is modern professional surveillance software that simplifies much of the decision making.
You don't necessarily have to get rid of a working analog closed circuit TV system in order to renew to a broadcasting
video that can be monitored from any internet connected computer or 3G phone. Video capture cards can digitally convert the
pictures for broadcast. Until yesterday, there had been no real attempts to regulate the new IP
cameras; every make and manufacturer functioned a little differently. And when you throw cameras into the
mix, finding one application to rule them all was heavy.
Professional security software
is now accessible that will work for any camera
or Internet camera and for most capture cards as well. You can supervise anything your motion
sensors are picking up at your home or firm while you can be half a globe away.
The software itself may not be simple, but it can make life simpler for you.
Broadcasting live video and audio from capture card
through webcam server software
Surveillance software
If you find yourself with a need to record surveillance video with a camera over an area,
camera
computer application
may be the right choice for you. Using this software, it is possible to set up a
camera to detect movement and begin recording when it does.
Depending on your needs, the sights and sounds that are picked up by the webcam may be stored on a hard drive, or if the captured video
needs to be accessible off-site, can be broadcast using the server's streaming
function to a website.
Depending on the quality of the camera and the viewer's video card, the picture that is recorded may be as clear as a high-definition television signal.
Using a install like this, it is possible to provide a measure of surveillance for an area when
the economics of the situation do not justify hiring a security firm or setting up a professional monitoring system.
This
do-it-yourself approach
can save money while not compromising on protection.

I want to be president
ABUJA—FORMER Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, revealed, yesterday, that he would contest the 2011 presidential election to give Nigeria a much needed change from the old order of corruption, insecurity and economic backwardness.
Ribadu who was addressing newsmen in Abuja on his determination to run for the presidential elections said that groups of like minds who wanted a change in the nation were working with him to actualize the dream of a prosperous country that would be the pride of all Nigerians.
The anti-graft czar, however, did not mention the party platform he would use, but assured that he would make it public within a short time, especially given the limited time between now and the election.
He said: “I am still consulting but it is going to be very soon that we are going to make a decision on that because there is no time. Like I said, the responsibility of all of us coming together must be exhausted to see that we have a chance in such a way that we can move in our country a platform that is going to be national.”
Ribadu, however, ruled out the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as a platform, as according to him he would reveal many things to Nigerians about PDP.
He said: “There will be a lot of time to talk and so much to talk about. There is so much to talk about PDP, to educate Nigerians about PDP.”
The former EFCC boss said he had a dream of a new Nigeria where infrastructure facilities are efficient and Nigerians, irrespective of ethnic background or faith would be secured and prosper, adding: “I have a dream of a new Nigeria and I have a dream to change Nigeria. I want to see if there is possibility of opening a new chapter for the country and those who are in charge somehow certainly need to give chance for the country to move forward.
“My team is going to be the best that Nigeria offers. Whether you are old or new, it has to be the best of Nigerians and I want to be part of that team that will certainly save our country and give it a new lease of life. I won’t want to categorise it as a generational thing but certainly, you know where I am now. If you want to judge by that I want to see the possibility of capturing the vision of the majority of Nigerians who are disenchanted and I certainly belong to that group.”
Asked if his decision to contest the election against serving President, Goodluck Jonathan; former Heads of State, Generals Muhammadu Buhari and Ibrahim Babangida as well as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, did not amount to a David and Goliath battle, he simply said: “David enh”.
On whether he was not scared that corrupt people would fight to stop him, Ribadu said: “I have always been fighting in my life. When I was in the police force, I fought armed robbers physically with guns I survived. I fought gangsters, I fought 419 fraudsters; I fought big-time corrupt people I have survived, I am still standing Nuhu Ribadu, I believe I will also survive this.”
Ribadu said he paraded the best qualifications among the contestants and was convinced that he had what it would require to give Nigeria a new lease of life, going by his antecedents, experience and exposure both in Nigeria and at the international level.
He noted: “I have experience in public service. I have put 25 years of my life into the service of the Federal Government of Nigeria in the executive capacity. After that of course I served outside of Nigeria. I worked and acquired international experience. I had the opportunity to set up an agency.
I ran it for five years, I was in the economic team (of the Obasanjo government); I was a federal prosecutor and remain there longer than any other person. I was a police officer, a community worker. Tell me which president of this country who had that experience before coming into office?”
Ribadu said he would make security, power and education his priority, explaining that they hold the key that would unlock the potentials of the Nigerian economy, adding:
“I want to re-make Nigeria. It will be a fresh chance for us to re-make ourselves. I want to make a nation out of our country. Immediately I will insist that we have security. No time to waste on that. I want to see that immediately we solve our power problem.

SMART INVESTMENT
Investors tend to be highly enthusiastic about establishing self-managed super funds but much less enthusiastic about closing them down. This view is strongly supported by the statistics.
ATO figures show that in the seven years to June 30, 2010, more than 209,000 SMSFs were established yet only 31,000 were wound-up.
The percentage of funds being closed is really miniscule considering that just 1071 funds were wound-up in the 12 months to June – and there are 432,675 funds in existence, according to APRA’s latest quarterly superannuation report.
Smart Investing likes to keep a watch on fund closures because the possibility of closing a fund – perhaps after the most active member dies or when a fund is no longer financially feasible – is a crucial consideration for trustees. Read Smart Investing on June 30 regarding this issue.
Of course, steps can be taken – perhaps with the guidance of a financial planner – to try to resuscitate an underperforming SMSF. But understandably, closure may be the best course in some circumstances.
Interestingly, the ATO this month released an updated version of its publication Winding-up a self-managed super fund. It makes valuable reading for trustees who are considering closing their funds.
Even if your fund is using a professional adviser or specialist SMSF administration firm to manage its closure, this straightforward publication should provide trustees with a useful overview of things they should be thinking about.
In short, trustees have to correctly deal with member benefits and to ensure that the fund is closed in accordance with superannuation law.

The new frontier
The trend for older workers to postpone their retirement for a few years or just to keep on working indefinitely without firm plans to retire at a particular age has no doubt created a new frontier for super funds.
Super funds that had once directed their line-up of investments and services at a largely younger workforce are having to revamp their thinking for a somewhat older membership – depending upon the makeup of a particular fund’s membership.
While some large funds clearly have an ageing membership others have a membership that is spread widely across the age spectrum.
The cover story in the September issue of Superfunds magazine – headed Future of the Workplace – provides a fascinating insight into what super funds should be considering in regard to their older members.
Superfunds is published by the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA).
Points put forward by specialists interviewed for the feature by veteran journalist Michael Laurence include the need for funds to check whether asset allocations for their default portfolios are appropriate for older members with increasing life-spans and often insufficient super savings.
Some of the other points discussed in the article are the need for funds, according to those quoted, to provide suitable education for members regarding their life/work mix and about easing their way into retirement – perhaps using a transition-to-retirement pension.
Dr David Knox, senior partner for retirement, risk and finance with the Mercer group, is quoted about the role super funds should have in the development of longevity investment products as their members age – leaving the workforce at older ages and living until greater ages.
And Richard Weatherhead, a director and head of insurance for Rice Warner Actuaries, speaks of the need for funds to ensure that their default insurance is suitable for older workers who are tending to take on debts later in their working lives.
The inadequacy of super savings of many older members – particularly considering they didn’t have the benefit of Superannuation Guarantee contributions for much of their working lives – is a reality that, of course, faces funds and their members.
And this is likely to be increasingly at the forefront of super fund thinking as more members decide to stay with the same fund in both the accumulation and retirement phases.
This is certainly a new frontier for super funds.

Making Good Money in a Bad Industry
The United and Continental Airlines merger is a temporary solution for survival in a terrible industry. Nonetheless, despite conventional wisdom, there is potential big money to be made in such unattractive sectors."This is a nasty, rotten business."
- Robert L. Crandall, former CEO & President of American Airlines
After years of off-and-on conversation, United Airlines (UAUA:NASDAQ) is getting into bed with Continental Airlines (CAL:NYSE) in a merger deal valued at $3.7 billion. The merged entity, keeping the United name, will be the largest airline in the world. It will have close to $30 billion in combined revenue, 700 aircraft, and service to 370 destinations in 59 countries, according to BusinessWeek. Early estimates predict savings to reach $1 billion to $1.2 billion annually.
Is a Merger Better Than Bankruptcy?
The deal makes a lot of sense, if only because the alternative was to lose more and more money. In an industry that is incredibly difficult, any means to reduce costs, take advantage of economies of scale, or improve productivity is desperately welcomed. (Mergers, in airlines and other similar struggling industries, often come down to one key reason- survival.)In case you forgot, let me remind you of how bad off these companies were... and still are (but hopefully to a lesser extent). The better-run airline, Continental, has declared bankruptcy twice, had to borrow money from the U.S. government, and has lost over $1 billion since Sept. 11.
United has had an equally unimpressive past, with its own extended bankruptcy, ongoing (contract) tensions with labor, elimination of its huge pension plan, and many failed strategies (do you remember Ted?) and merger attempts.
Purpose in real life [by Marilyn A.]
I have always thought that life should be meaningful. Not necessarily every moment of every day. I mean, how meaningful is it doing laundry? Nor should life always be serious. We all need extremely large doses of just having a good time! But life has to be more than pleasure-seeking, partly because the enjoyment doesn't last. It's here for a moment, then gone. Author Ravi Zacharias said it well: "If there is no larger meaning to life...then life is without a driving force, without overall substance or explanation."
For several years I studied the philosophies of Dostoyevsky, Sartre, Nietzsche, Socrates and many others -- looking for an overriding, motivating purpose to my life. Every few weeks I would "try out" a new philosophy to see if it could work. But I found these philosophies disappointing when applied to actual life situations. My search continued.
An international news correspondent for TIME Magazine, Dr. David Aikman, shed some light on this subject. He has a couple of post-graduate degrees, is an expert in Russian and Chinese history and communist affairs, has worked in more than 30 countries, is fluent in six languages, and is a serious thinker about life issues. He said, "Each of us has a purpose, a reason for being here, that no one else can tell you, but you can find out from God." Dr. Aikman recommended beginning a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Dr. Aikman gave this account, "When I heard the words of Jesus [in the Bible], it seemed to me he was speaking to my heart, and he was saying, 'I am the way to life. If you follow me and do what I say, your life will change.'" He then talked about taking the first step to starting a relationship with Jesus Christ, by asking him to enter his life. Dr. Aikman concluded, "I can promise you...anybody that takes that first step toward Jesus Christ will have a very exciting life."
Like Dr. Aikman, I came from an atheistic background. And like him, I found that Jesus' statements about himself were quite unique. Jesus didn't point people to his philosophy on life, he pointed people to himself. Jesus said he could forgive our sins, give us inner peace in the midst of tough circumstances, and guide us to a life of freedom.
I determined that if there really was a God, I wanted to know him. But I was still skeptical. I debated and challenged the Christians I knew. I wanted proof that Jesus was God. One day I took an honest look at the evidence for God's existence and Jesus' deity, and I was shocked to find so many logical, historical facts. I then knew I had a decision to make. Was I going to ask him to enter my life and influence it in whatever way he wanted, or was I going to close the chapter on this part of my life and refuse to consider the possibility of "God" ever again?
After reviewing the concrete, intellectual reasons to believe in Jesus, I asked Jesus if he would come into my life. And that very day my search for the meaning of life was completely resolved.
It amazed me that I could have a relationship with God. I talked to him and, through changes in circumstances, he indicated that he heard me. He led me in career paths that are far more expansive and exciting than I ever dreamed. And I asked him questions and he guided me to appropriate, helpful answers in the Bible.
These things didn't occur just on one obscure, stormy day. It was a genuine two-way relationship with God that I was enjoying on a consistent basis, and still do. It wasn't because I became a saint, but because Jesus Christ will enter anyone's life who truly wants to know him and follow him.
There is a deep joy that comes in following God. Unlike anything or anyone else, knowing Jesus Christ has brought real purpose to my life.
Real life is a life filled with fulfillment, acceptance and purpose. We find it in a relationship with Jesus Christ. No one in human history has made the claims Jesus made and given such great proofs to back them up. He claimed to be God, to be able to forgive sins, and to be the only way through which we can know God the Father. Jesus backed up those claims through his resurrection from the dead. He is, truly, the most unique person who ever lived...much more than a great teacher.
The Bible says that Jesus was God who became man -- "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us."3 He was "the exact representation of his [God's] being."4 In short, Jesus Christ revealed exactly what God is like. So how do we begin a relationship with him?
We don't begin a relationship with God by trying to be a better person. Trying harder to win God's approval is not the way he wants us to live. Have you ever been in a relationship with someone in which you had to try to win that person's approval? It's no fun.
God has such a genuine love for us that he himself provided the way for us to get close to him...but there is a problem. Currently, what stands in the way of us connecting with God is our sin (our self-centeredness shown by our anger, our hurtful words, our impatience, our selfishness, greed, etc.). If you've ever wondered why your prayers seem to go nowhere, that is why. Our sin has separated us from God, who is holy.
So what has God done so we can have a close relationship with him? Jesus Christ ("God in the flesh") took all of our sin on his shoulders while he willingly died on a cross. He did this so we could be completely forgiven, completely acceptable to him.
Our problem is illustrated by the college student who is charged with a crime. The judge sentences her to 30 days in jail or a $1,000 fine. The student can afford neither the time nor the money. The judge, knowing this, takes off his robes, walks to the front of the bench, and with his own checkbook pays the fine. Why? Because, as a just judge, he cannot overlook the offense. But, because he is the student's father, he chooses to pay the penalty on her behalf.
This is exactly what Jesus did for each of us on the cross. He made the great sacrifice of being beaten, humiliated, whipped and crucified on our behalf. He now asks us to respond to his sacrifice by inviting him into our lives.
If this is now the desire of your heart, the following is a suggested prayer (but the words aren't as important as the attitude of your heart):
Dear God, I confess that I have sinned against you. Thank you for taking all of my sin upon yourself on the cross. I want to receive your forgiveness. I want to enter into a relationship with you. I ask you to come into my life as my Savior and Lord. Please give me the real life that comes only from you.

How we can be in real life
He wants us to know him and to experience his love, joy and peace. When we ask him into our lives, we receive his forgiveness, and we begin a relationship with him that's meant to last forever. Jesus said, "I stand at the door (of your heart) and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him (or her)."5If this is now the desire of your heart, the following is a suggested prayer (but the words aren't as important as the attitude of your heart):
Dear God, I confess that I have sinned against you. Thank you for taking all of my sin upon yourself on the cross. I want to receive your forgiveness. I want to enter into a relationship with you.

Why is life so hard?
* Some people have it harder than others. Consider this story a professor once told me when I lost my brother to suicide years ago:
Picture 3 boats in the middle of the ocean traveling at a slow and steady speed. Each boat has a cable attached to a bubble with a man inside. The man is lowered into the ocean. Each man is at a different depth in the sea. The first man is in shallow water. He sees sunlight and some of the shallow swimming creatures of the ocean. He has life pretty easy.
The second man is somewhere in the middle of the ocean. His bubble hits the large underwater mountains as the boat passes them. He sees neither light nor life in the ocean. He has a hard life.
The 3rd man is at the very bottom of the ocean. He sees all of the mysteries of the sea, all of the creatures people wish they could see, and beautiful ocean floor full of life. He also hits the little bumps and large mountains along the way. His life is tough, but he also gets to experience the most joy of all 3 men.
Which man would you rather be? Some would say they like the guy in shallow water where life is easy and there are no problems. Most people (deep down) would rather be the guy at the bottom of the ocean who gets to experience the most pleasure, but is faced the the most hurt at the same time. We cannot know true joy without experiencing true sadness.
* "This too shall pass" is something you may find true in time.
* Lfe is hard, kids are being abused, raped, and murdered. But once on the road to recovery, you will get through it. I was once one of those kids. But the scars of abuse are still all over me. But I'm a changed teenager and I am a cooler guy now. So, I speak out to everyone who has been abused and is still being abused. Just endure it, be brave and you will come out strong, trust me.
* Life won't be easier unless we as humans change our drive(drive being money). Everyone would get along if there was no money, if we changed what we thought of our money. I've thought of suicide, that's how bad life is, but there is something in all of that says change is needed, hopefully there will be a person in the near future that will make that change(I'm 14, I want to be that person. I know Lot's of famous stars, some are my friends, I don't have big money). Life can give you so many things, but it's the things life doesn't give you that makes you. I want to be something great, but our modern society doesn't work if everyone can meet at least their needs.
