Issues on Development Administration

The strength of a nation should not be built on faith and beliefs and the realities of the people must not remain at the valley of hope. Such people will always see development as miracle. They will see good leaders and a well organized society as favors from God. The strength of a nation are knowledge, discipline, cooperation and sincerity.

The seven 'Asian Tigers' have convinced everyone beyond doubt that national development begins with disciplined elites who can mobilize the nation. The beauty of their development model is the inclusiveness of every strata of the society. They simplified development and removed all the old Western bottleneck.

A disciplined and well cultured elites will have the ears of the masses. The masses will be ready to jettison every selfish agenda to pursue corporate goals when the elites are willing to lead from the front. The Asian Tigers' first agenda was human capacity development, electricity generation and distribution, cottage industries and investment incubating villages.

Unfortunately, Nigeria planned and built three Industrial Tools Manufacturing Companies at Katsina, Osogbo and Aladja but refused to operate them. Rather, we sold them off at rock bottom prices. None of the power generation facilities is functioning at the optimal strength.

Every Friday and Sunday, the elites who cannot organize their minds will cajoled the people to begin to seek God they are not ready to obey for solutions to personal and national problems.

God will not solve the problems that requires human intellect and discipline.
