Dear General,
Since we are lagging decades behind and must start planing like yesterday, here is my shopping list for you to consider as you plan your government.
I want regionalism;
I want state police;
I want capital punishment for stealing and/or with/without, of, or not of, corruption;
I want a nation founding conference;
I want strong pro-African posture;
I want organic farming and prohibition of dangerous and experimental GMO agriculture (Adesiyan’s dangerous legacy);
I want Primary and preventive health over expensive western machines and systems;
I want water;
I want the promotion of ecologically friendly research via centers and contests and support among all youth;
I want the aggressive support of farming;
I want the combating of deforestation and desertification;
I want decentralization of government;
I want restoration of the Parliamentary system;
I want shorter terms for elected officials;
I want electronic voting if we will still have voting;
I want direct democracy (refer to Gadaffi’s Green Book) with market women, professors as Jega used, and all other social groups being part of a local and central government via information technology conferencing;
I want an end to colonialist style democracy and return to African methods of selecting Philosophical kings as leaders and not ‘dirty’ politicians;
I want an absolute cut on campaign spending with jail as repudiation;
I want all campaigns to be completely equally sponsored by the government and only sponsored a fixed amount by the government;
I want equal media slots for all contestants;
No more impunity for politicians unless there is impunity for common thieves and armed robbers;
I want collective and public participatory governance and regular thrash-all conferences, easy thanks to modern IT tools;
Regular constituency re-evaluation of representatives with possibility of abrupt mid-term tenure truncation;
I want Nigeria to be involved in not only national matters but to play a lead role in regional and global issues. To be involved say, in sending troops and aid to combat ISIS, or rescue hurricane victims, etc;
I want investment in eco-friendly natural energy, like the natural pyramids were built to provide by our African brothers in ancient Egypt;
Vernacular spoken in school must no longer be an offence as this is our natural tongue;
I want investment in research into all ancient African natural medicine remedies. I do not like limited MRI and CT scan stuff that cost millions and will only be used by a handful, I prefer naturopathic holistic medicine that can quickly help all. We can be world pioneers in this;
Manufacturing does not have to be priority; especially if we do so by crippling the masses and patronizing the cabal as with the current car import ban crap, we must look at what pays us most as a nation, our natural endowment. It may be tourism, it may be so many things. Not all nations must manufacture, we must see what is economically and competitively advantageous for us;
I want advantage and consideration for small businesses over the cabal;
I want to continue… should I?
God bless you
God bless Nigeria
