Privatisation is stealing from the poor to feed the Rich.

Say No to Privatisation.
16-11-2018 | Politics

Privatisation is wrong theory.
Atiku
I read an article on how article is about to present his Policy statement to the press in just a few days from now.

It had at the end this picture.

I think its high time for me to say this. I read this article with a lot of amusment and some new realities dawned on me.

However, when I got to the Tail end of the article, it showed that picture of Atiku in it with Endorsment from the Economist magazine.

Reading meaning to say such things about Privatisation.

let me tell you something I believe about Privatisation. Privatisation is a rogue scheme designed to take our collective heritage as a Nation and Hand it over to a select few as their private property.

Privatisation is taking from the poor to enrich the rich still at the expense of the poor. Privatisation is double joperdy to the citizenery.

Privatisation is saying Government infrastructures built with tax payers money cant work in governments hand but can work in hands of private companies.

So why should Government not be able to work and Private companies are able?.

Some people would argue government doesnt have any business in Business but to producr enabling environment. Was Atiku able to produce enabling environment during his 8 years Vp with Obasanjo?

What is Enabling enbironment? Electricity, Roads and Water. Just basic. But Electricity has never been able to climb all the years.

It is under this Buhari's Administration that Babatunde Fashola raised Nigerian's total poor power from less than 2500megawatts to a record of 7,000 even tho it flunctuates somewhere around 4,000 to 4,500 atimes and even tho atimes power still totally shut down.

There is commitment to Power.

Buhari has started the Mambilla Power abandoned even when Atiku was VP 8 years.

What more do you people want Buhari to do for you?

Buhari has started Rail agressively.

First time I entered train in my life in Nigeria is under this administration.

Rotimi Amechi works day and night tooth and nail to make sure railway is working. I took a train ride from Abuja to Kaduna and I was Amazed.

why cant Government work?

its either Government is just gross irresponsible and just wont and cant work.

lets stop facing the symptoms. Lets address the main challenge.

Why shouldnt Government be able to work? Gross irresponsibility.

why is Government irresponsible? Terible leaders.

Who are the people buying government properties? Terrible leaders.

who are the overall victims? Me and you.

so it mean me and you must begin to make government work from our choice of leadership.

Buhari is somebody that is Hell Bent on making things work.

By the way, Who is Economist magazine, Where are they from and what is their pedigree?

Economist magazine can not rank with the likes of Bloomberg, or Newyork Times or African Press or other Serious Editorials.

they should check the economy behind handing over government to few people as compared to government to be disciplined and run properly and efficiently and even competitively.

There is no reason why Government shoukd not work.

Government is about Administration. Government is about Managment. Government is about Dicipline, Drive and Willpower.

These are all the characteristics Muhammadu Buhari posses if only Nigerians would be patient and see beyond their immediate to take a leap into the future.

Reforms are hard but they are necessary. People should be thankful to God for Buhari.

Buhari is a Mam that has shown commitment and Willpower that things can work.

People musr beware of All these politicians that would come with greek gifts.

We have been thru all these before. They shouldnt take us back.

Atiku must choose between running his Business or being in Government.

Atiku can not be running his Businesses and still be in government.

He will take undue advantage. It means the knife and the yam would be in his hands.

Atiku can not be a Business man and a Politician at the same time. It is the most scariest form of rape against the Economy.

Dangote is Dangote.

Saraki is Saraki.

Dangote is A business man and I respect him cos he faces soly his Business.

Saraki is a Politician and I respect him because he is a Career Politician.

Atiku can not be a Dangotelike Business man and a Saraki form Ploitician and and be president of Nigerian at the same time.

If Dangote comes out for Presidency tomorow. Everybody will vote him cos we all know his anticidents and pedigree and his Business acumen. That is Because Dangote is a Businessman.

Privatisation is just short way of saying Atiku is coming to sell of Nigeria to the Highest Bidder.

These are same old things they have done.

Insanity is doing something the same way and expecting a different result.

Nigerians should stick to Buhari at this trying times and have a hope of a better tommorow than leave the Country to Atiku and his brother Nnamdi Kanu to make a mess of Nigeria.

My 2cents...

Privatisation is the way to go. The UK risked it years ago but today, they remain grateful to those who initiated the idea. I remember the nitel days. How we used to queue at nitel to make calls at their telephone booths. Their landline at that time was for the rich. I'd go tap ours to reach my friends because it was always under lock and key. But today, an ordinary man in the street can reach the world at the tip of his finger. I had a course mate that time whose dad was a nitel engineer. On her wedding day, the man presented a brand new toyota jeep as a gift to her. This was just a low cadre engineer. The level of corruption at nitel was mind-boggling. Naturally, Nigerian workers in public places have imbibed the spirit of recklessness. Not only privatizing nitel had enriched the government the more, it has always brought about productivity, employment and efficiency to the system. I can imagine how Nigeria would become if our morribond airport could be privatized. What of our roads nationwide, our sea ports , electricity ,etc? Nigeria would be better for it. Jobs would also be created. Many cried out when obasanjo was privatizing nitel, they said the service would be expensive but nowadays, a farmer in the most remote part of the country can reach his customers. Market women do selfies and amazingly, airtime is ridiculously affordable. Privatisation is the way to go. If it's truly atiku's agenda, I'm in total support of it and I'd vote atiku for this reason. Nigeria must move forward. I learnt abacha loot is being shared amongst market men and women and termed trader moni. What a backward thinking government! When such money could have been used to generate employment amongst our teeming youths. We're the largest importer of rice after China in 2017. We have arable land to grow rice. Why not grant loan to youths out of the abacha loot and encourage them to grow rice and introduce better yields to them? they say they give matket people and artisans 10k each as loan from abacha loot as a form of investment who doesn't know that money would be spent on foodstuffs? . Only mumu and gullible minds would vote APC next year with their non-performing economic policy that has placed us on the first list on world poverty index.

Advanvement in technology is different from privatisation. Obasanjo did not move the world from Analog to Digital.

the Nitel case is sweet in your mouth because MTN and private telcomes company invested in telecommunications. Obsanjo didnt bring telecommunication. Advancement brought better telecommunication.


ok. Lets say you win with Nitel case.


ok lets talk NEPA. obasanjo spent 16 Billion Dollars on the power sector and not one megawatt of electricity was generated.

Why is NEPA still not working?


Until Fashola Came to shake up all the shackles under this Buhari adminstration.

same as rail.


the idea is that Government can Work

Mr man, back off with this you and your APC primitive economic system. Everyone knows privatization is the way to go in any economy that is ready to grow especially in a very corrupt country like our, it is this unintelligent way of handling the economy by this government that has brought us to this state of economic hardship.

Take it or you leave it, obj struck a good point with the telecoms privatization cos that was what gave birth to other establishments and ideas. Had it not been privatised in the first place, mtn's investment and the migration from analogue to digitization you mentioned wouldn't have been possible. One step led to the other. On the nepa issue, obj failed in that area and the reason is simple . He should have privatized it. There's so much corruption in the sector which is hampering development. I'm sure you've read a story if an accountant at the ministry of power, one northern guy who had over 70 cars and over 20 houses in abuja where a plot sells for over 50m naira, there are some places is same anuja, where you could get a plot for 100m and above . Have you wondered why fashola, as efficient as he is, has not been able to achieve much despite his efforts and the huge sum spent by this govt?once the sector is privatized, there'd be efficiency and more revenue would be realised by the govt. More jobs would also be created. Ministry of power would only serve as a regulatory body.
