Konquest:

The last two aspects of your suggestions were practiced in the former Soviet Union (USSR).

That socialist strategy proved to be unsustainable over the long-term hence the Russians after the peaceful break up of the former USSR into independent countries opened up to the free market economic system.

The BEST bet is to introduce more CNG refill stations such as those already in existence by NIPCO, and more CNG buses and vehicles fully to transport finished goods, farm produce, and people. This would rapidly drop the cost of transportation and goods and services would be cheaper. But this must be monitored because there are greedy people who would still want to game the economic system to maximize profits. So, whistleblower phone numbers can be provided for folks to report food items hoarders, and illegal check points were money is extorted by rogue policemen and soldiers, and state agents that collect illegal levies from food trucks moving from one state to another. There would be an instant drop of food prices in partnership with the market unions.

The second solution would be to invest heavily in drones for security purposes to prevent kidnappings by foreign Fulani nomadic invaders fleeing the drought and violence in the Sahelian region countries of West Africa and armed robberies that have made driving on some highways and going to the farms for commercial and subsistence farmers nearly all over Nigeria a nightmare.

The death penalty has to be implemented ASAP via electric chairs, lethal injections, or hanging. This is meant to serve as a deterance.

KnowAll:
1. Free transport to work

2. Subsidised homes. Like the ones built by shagari in the 80’s . Little one two & 3 bedroom houses. They would pay N5000.00 per month

3. Build large cooperative stores that would sell groceries at rock bottom price. That means government would buy fruit and vegetables from farmers and subsidies them. Including meat rice& fish.


It can be done. There would be know reasons to increase wages which would eventually lead to a runaway inflation. The 650,000 labour is asking for would lead to runaway inflation just like in Zimbabwe.

In order to subsidise to feed you, government will buy cheap from farmers, who will then find it unprofitable to plant food so food gets imported at inflated prices.

Trust me. You are worth far more than 30k a month or you at least ought to be.

Then u don't know why Zimbabwe got bad economically.

Not because of salary but sanctions upon sanctions.

Oga, Nigerians are capitalists, your model cannot work. How many of the palliative noodles did you find in the market? People will just evacuate the cooperative store and you will see the products in Oshodi the next week.

Pay people a living wage of `$200 minimum or N280k.

They buy it at market rate from farmers. Farmers are not losing. The government would now subsidise it or even deduct N5000.00 from your pay for you use the cooperatives.

See what this one is typing above... In America you would be jailed for this socialist nonsense

Nigerians are really socialist in nature
Most Nigerians prefer Welfarist society

Now I know why most Nigerians see Capitalist minded Igbos the way they do
Fundamentally speaking we shouldn't be one

I can bet move the minimum rate to just even 100,000 and start seeing hyperinflation.

Tap0lane:
The Igbos are here to soil this beautiful thread. Only a foolish human being will declare a tribe capitalist, there is no tribe in Nigeria who is not capitalist in nature even more than you Igbos.

No tribe in Nigeria is a welfarist or socialist state, no tribe in Nigeria ever in their history practice such so stop beating your foolish chest over what you never had monopoly of n will never have monopoly of.

DeLaRue:
Op has a point.

There is nothing communist about 2 of his suggestions. The one about groceries is unlikely to be practicable. Transport can be subsidised rather than being totally free.

I am a capitalist, but given the level of poverty, homelessness, and despair in the USA - the poster child of capitalism - and the fact that 50% of those earning $100,000 or above in the US live from hand to mouth (despite that being a high salary), I have come to believe that the purest form of capitalism is a recipe for despair. The only true winners are the super rich and the upper middle classes who set the rules of the game and continue to get richer. The majority of people work, work, and work with little to show for it.

A government must be able to intervene in certain areas when the wanton greed that capitalism inevitably breeds is getting out of hand.

A couple of months ago, Cement manufacturers were selling cement to distributors at around N7,500, but these people were selling to consumers for N11,000 and above. That's just one out of many examples of unbridled greed.


You don't live in the US stop saying what you don't know.
