Default Re: Federal Character And Quota System In Nigeria - A Good Public Policy



Oga Paul,

we cannot make the weak stong by weakening the strong

Quota system and Federal Character is the reason why Nigeria is corrupt and not working.

an Igbo has to score 300 to get into University of Abuja, while a Hausa Fulani walks in with 180! we have to have 36 ministers, so every state is represented, a birth certificte is made superior to a degree certificate, how can that be helpful?

in America Affirmative Action is designed to raise a minority, that hasaclearly being wronged to get back on their feet, in Nigeria's case quota syatem seeks to ensure a majority remains lazy.

if not for federal character would Sanusi Lamido be nominated for the Governor of the CBN, what works on monetory policy or fiscal and economic development has he written? how long did he spend in the banking sector? then man was employed as a Principal Manager and got a double promotion.

let me show you Nigeria without the quota system or federal charcter, look at the Dream Team that won the Olympic gold in the US, Kanu, Okocha, Ikpeba, Disu, Amunike, Amokachi, Garba those guys were there on Merit, they were our best, thats why they won. if that team was put on quota system would a Kanu have played? no Amunike is from Imo state, would an Okocha have played no, we already had Ikpeba.

pls do not promote laziness, where is the quota system when it comes to appointing southners in sensitive posts? where is federal character when an Igbo cannot become president of Nigeria or Inspector General of Police.

Nigeria is bigger than this quota thing.
