INTRODUCTION

The first thing to give the attention to is the nature and the goal of Human Sciences and how it uses a vehicle to reply to the problems of our time. Concisment to put, the Human Sciences are erudition to live and participate in this world, to a time and to the special places; therefore we have the formula:

SSE = PSpt

P = the People

The s = the Corporation

P = places

t = stopwatch

This lecture is a speech of indepth on an aspect of my academic expertise, and my contribution to the human sciences as a knowledge field, will be directed by the formula of SSE as asserted and the nature of Human Sciences.

Here then, P means The Nigerian People; the S means The Nigerian Corporation; p means that THE geographic entity called Nigeria and t means Nigeria yesterday today and tomorrow. In this lecture, Nigeria implies yesterday Nigeria of pred-colonial to the era before the second Republic, while Nigeria today crosses the second period Republic to date.

We recognize that this audience is the "dress" not only interdisciplinaire but also a "city" heterogenous. The attempts then will be done to work in this defined perimeter.

The keys of human Sciences on every facet of human existence: to be held as a nature product, and the social man as a product of nourish; resultant of the social, political, economical and physical environment. The human sciences have therefore for was identified a long time as a tool or a true avenue for reshapening the corporation. (Lawton and Durfour 1973, Osakwe 1993) The same nature, the content and the range of human sciences, the brands it a masculine instrument to develop a new social one ae" the political order. This lecturer major declared in this sector of human sciences and has 20 editions linked to the present speech. Four of such here are enumerated:

Osakwe, E.O. (1993A) Education of Citizenship: The Hub of Human Sciences Nigerian newspaper of Human Sciences Reconsiders. Flight. 2, No 3, Pages. 23-38.

Osakwe, E.O. (1994B) the instruction Strategies to teach the Human Sciences: Model usage and NON-MODELS Nigerian newspaper of human Sciences Flight. III, No 1 &the amplifier; 2 pages. 49-55.

To Nigeria, the Human Sciences found the expression practices in the school system after the 1969 Lectures of National Program. The subject is adapted towards the individuals of building and constructing of this manner the nation (Osakwe 1993). The potential ones of Human Sciences are nevertheless completely to be exploited in our quest for an order more desirable, more sociopolitical and more economical.

The human Sciences take care of human relations. The world undergoes constantly changes and the Human Sciences remain a true instrument to examine these changes, themselves they are positive or negative. The human Sciences revolve around the humans (the people) and all that overlaps into them.

The sectors of Accent in the Human Sciences

The knowledge incluse in the Human Sciences is related to the important generalizations of human relations, the institutions and the problems, together with to support facts to guarantee that these generalizations clearly are understood (Osakwe and Itedjere 1993). The human Sciences examine problems and problems from the standpoint holistic ae" therefore, in to resolve a problem or a problem, the human sciences examine the historic cultural sociological physical economical dimensions and other secured. In contrast to the vertical concentration that is perceptible in most of subjects of school, the human sciences adopt an approach in horizontal spiral in the analysis of him problems. The human Sciences, has the strong affinity with the Social Sciences, but must not be seen as an amalgam of the social sciences.

The education of human Sciences is an avenue to furnish young with a hope sensation in the future and confidence in their capacity to resolve the social and ecological problems of individuals, their community, declare or the nation.

This time, this lecture addresses an aspect of my discipline that is of university and the public interest ae" Sail the Nation, By the Shame of today to the Fame of the Tomorrow: The human Sciences as Pilots.

Address the problems of, Today and Tomorrow automatically furnishes Yesterday three segments of speech: Nigeria Yesterday Nigeria Today and Tomorrow of Nigeria.

THE NIGERIA ae" YESTERDAY

The it is simplistic to address the problems of building of nation to Nigeria today without paying the due attention to our passed and the passed global as it affected our passed and present.

Mr. Judges assistant, Mister, the educational system that we inherited of our colonial, although critical masters to alienate we of our culture, our product individuals and our disciplined people we will consider as the pillars of our democracy and our national development. Our educational system of time formerly extremely was structured, organized and predictable. This was the era when the education was completely the responsibility of the Agencies of Government or Mission. The educational institutions sufficiently were equipped, equipped and the check was effective. The academic calendar was stable with hardly of interruption. A participant in the system could predict when it/she will advance. No put back diplomas of a candidate to the fitting time never was the defect of the school or institution but the student inability to work rather hard to advance as planned by the educational establishment. The period under the discussion was marked by the students in the primary and secondary schools putting uniforms that were uniform in fact. There was not provision for the students doing their clean seats/offices or for the boarders, furnishing their clean read one. The laboratories in the secondary and service industry institutions were comparable with what obtained in the somewhere else world.

The solid moral education was half and the education package in meadow-1970 to last Nigeria of years 80. The relation between the students and the professors, the students and the professors and studying them and the lecturers to the various levels of education were at a very big professional of range. The incidents of medical error of examination were very rare and does not import that took compromising examination integrity punctually was treated. Their incidents of students merchant of the degrees with their lecturers or the lecturers/professors asking of the to the "encouragements" were almost nonexistent. During the period under the magazine, the academic norms to first Nigerias universities of generation were praiseworthy and comparable to what obtained in the more advanced country of Europe and of America. The period observed the exchange of massive personnel of foreign universities. Our universities had the true orientations and the international reputations, with the personnel and studying them that come on the part different of the world. Outside of the international perspective of our universities and outside of the university, the university lecturers extremely were respected and were at the summit of social classification. Okecha (2008) noted correctly that the mention of the "Professor" of title attracted the a lot of attentions. The office of the Judge assistant was extremely reverred. The Judge assistant more was respected than any official person of government.

Most of the Nigerian ones that crossed the service industry education appreciated a form of financial support or the other of the Government. The education was a business of value and was seen as the key that opened the door to the success and the fame.

The indolence, the flight, prostitution, pretentious life, eagerness, the oppression, social and spatial inequality extremely was considered shameful to time Nigeria formerly. The it was the common practice for example, for the salesman to leave the Newspaper to the Lodging of the Porter as the students were trusted to fall money and choose the papers. All the same, the profits of Day of Rag were used for the charity as foreseen. The social vices were gathered to and there was the biggest direction of responsibility among the community including carries public offices. The workers retrieved to their duty posts to the foreseen time and remained at the work to the closing. The school and the other institutional portals were closed to and remained 8 o'clock if to the closing. The absenteeism was an aberration and something gathered seriously to. There was the liberty of political association, although the cut low political were alongside the three major ethnic groups with the exception of the Belt of the environment that had his own political identity. The it was possible for the end relating to belongs to the different political parties and always lives nevertheless in the harmony. The example of the Ikokus can testify to this does ae" that a father and the son belonged to two parties opposing.

The humans are animal gednedralesment of the political ones. The capacity to organize people in the groups with although the political motive is an inherent basic instinct in the human beings. The Nigerian ones are political beings extremely of the articulated ones. There is the practice of traditional political one and of community that always was with us. There was a merger between life and politics of party traditional and social modern. Since the culture is practical no static and traditional have tailored also to suit again challenges and the new developments including the crosscultural contacts with its associated implications. Social life of a people and their political culture, to a big range affects several other sectors of screw. Nigeria is a political amalgam. This is indicative of the cultural plurality of the country. To a big range the North was a lot more more politicallyer more articulated and more sensitive one. This probably represents practices it in what our north brothers always are with their radios and listening of the new local one and international, of this manner always is informed. Social lives and politics of party are not a function of education of the west. Some southerners despite their education level, always are politically naa¯ve and cannot read or can understand the political scene. The economy of the Nigeria during this period was very stable and was hinged on farming. This was the era of the pyramids of groundnut. Nigeria was the biggest producer of the world of groundnuts, rubber, subtiliser of the oil and kernels, the beans of soja, beniseed and also a major producer of cotton, the second world-wide producer of cocoa. The it was in this period that Malaysia came to Nigeria to obtain our semis of oil and rubber, try in their country. We know where the two countries are held today in the production of oil of palm and of rubber.

The solid minerals as coal, tin and columbite were mined in the quantities and economical Nigerias was known to be a world-wide major player in the production of these minerals. The economy flottabilited more was raised with the discovery of black gold (the oil) to Nigeria. Little by little, the accent began changing farming to the oil ae¦ae¦ae¦.the pillar of Nigerian economy. The Nigerian change was sturdy and extremely sought after during this period.

The faces above presents a lively picture of the force of the Naira in this moment.

Nigeria was well served by the road, the bar, the transportation of air of sea. During this period there was on 95.000 km of paved roads and on 3.200 km of iron way of gauge of a meter. Nigeria had just two international airports to Lagos and Kano. The parties of the north and south of the country attracted the significant investment in the development of infrastructural, especially in the roads of bar and feeder, just like some measure of social services as the electricity, the water provision, the hospitals, the schools and universities. This period was marked by the personnel of the Public Works Department (PWD) clarifying grasses by the road sides to guarantee long distance and clarifyes the vision for the drivers and other users of the road. The roads uniformly were maintained ae" although then, the roads were narrow and sometimes venteuses, they were motorable through the year.

The Airways of Nigeria were the pride of Africa of west. It dominated what's more other aerial lines in the under region. The Nigerian pilots were famous for their courtesy, their competence and their confidence. Their take-off and landing were remarkable and lacking in tremors and hiccups. Nigerian airways flew constantly to Europe, Asia, United States and several roads of African without the defect. The DC 10S, Boeing 737, 707 and 747 were constant on the international roads while the smallest airplanes served the local one (internal) the roads. More near to the house here, the way navigable of Sapele to Obiaruku by Ethiope of River was material navigable and of building was transported by this chain.

The security of lives and of property was at a very big guaranteed range during this period. The it was possible to travel all night without the fear of the thieves. The trip in the evening was preferred by a number of Nigerian ones. The flight incidents to hand army were rare and the it was easy to stalk criminals. This not to be fashionable to engage in the crime because there was a rejection or a general social loathing for any individual that was known to be criminal or deviating it social.

THE NIGERIA TODAY

Today, Nigeria exchanged his data of the auspicious one to the diligence values, patriotism, the high ethical norms, its natural abundant resources of time formerly for the dishonorable habits familiarly referred themselves to as the "the Nigerian factor" : the injustice pursuit, the raised values, the endemic corruption and the bad administration brute. Today Nigeria is inevitably sick of a deliberately inflicted automatically the injury. Most of which arrives to Nigeria returns today to national shame, our pain and our disgrace. This shame is most of show in our "the political New one" that is marked by the violence takes to the loss of lives and to the property, equip and the massive assassinations. The profitable unworthy one are quick to do the efforts to convince and to confuse the masses in to support the coming from their political exploits. Almost immediately the approval is dispatched in of everywhere in the country, especially of some Christian and of the ecclesiastical Islamic one and the other selfish leaders that pontifient on the error that the governments and the direction are chosen and are ordered by God and that we should accept the things the manner that they are to save our democracy being born. But the peace without justice cannot hold the test of time and is an invitation for anarchy.

In contrast to what obtains in the democracies of the west and the other stable political systems where the results of election less are declared that 24 hours at the end of polls, to Nigeria, it could take three days. In some ridiculous positions as the elections of local government that are even smaller geographic entities to manage, it always takes days before the results officially are relaxed. This normal one to lead leaves lodge for the manipulation and panel beating faces. Despite all these, the ridiculous faces are relaxed as results. In some examples, there is more votes than the number of the registered voters. The multiple vote is not rare. The court judgement in the State of Edo revealed that the fictitious voters voted and some of others voted several times including the presumed voters of through the Atlantic.

The foundation for any stable and the functional democratic state is the electoral process. This should be seen as the problem key in a country as the ours. The electoral process represents a choice political by the people. Next to the gossip of the market and discussions of corridor, the vote is the an activity that shows the range of engagement of the people in the political one. When to liberate and the secret vote of bulletin of vote intervenes, the direction and the quantum of participation of the individual go out boldly in their true form.

In an investigation executed by this lecturer in 1998, the degree of apathy expressed by the young ones surprised.

The au-dessus of was almost a decade before the 2007 elections monumentally frauduleuse, nevertheless figures it reveals the high level of alienation or the disillusionment with the political one and the electoral process among the young ones. In most of the cases, this alienation or the apathy takes to the political indifference of high level. Effective participation of citizen depends on a knowledge of how the system works really.

Our citizens systematically were not exposed to the methods of operations of our political system. A good number of our youths was left to wander without goal in the Nigerian political arena. This had for result disinformation or to stifle it political instincts in the youths towards the national matters.

Our electoral process and associated protest of results are without parallel in election annals in any party of the globe. A lot of Nigerian are now opinion that a vote of the individual does not count ae" that the results are determined in advance. This took to the apathy and to serious reduction from a big segment of the electorate (Sees Osakwe 1998, Ogini 2008). The June 12, 1993 elections, declared being free matter that was canceled it with ignomity to the sorrow of Nigerian ones. Since, the position worsened. There is naturally the now a lot of cynisme towards the election and the process electoral by several Nigerian ones.

Another dimension disturbing in this speech is this political one no longer is at Nigeria seen as an avenue for the service, rather it became an avenue for the rising quick one to wealth, and the public recognition. This took to the appearance of political ambitious with crinkled spirits on hope politics of the electorate. Their life style is marked by life blazing, the luxury cars, including the vehicles adorns bullets, the escorts with the sirens and the intimidation of all perceived opponents and those that refuse to recognize their new positions and their crowd found that they find difficult to manage. What we observe are now a repetition of the saga of haman-mordecai Biblical. Haman, a political ambitious one paid a huge sum of money to guarantee that the Jewish entire race is just eliminated because Mordecai that the Jew did not do him inclines itself.

The this is a brand of political immaturity to try to use political opportunism to regulate scores. The this is a spectacle of shame and the fight reflection against a complex. The political one should be a very fascinating party of our national life, but the this is now a problem of life and the death, sending sometimes shivers down below the thorn of the people. That is why, organizing of or the election leader are at Nigeria the war and several lives went with the elections to Nigeria.

Political assassinations

Between 1999 and 2009, 39 cases of politically ae" motivated murders were retrieved in the country. The moment of these assassinations reveals that the this is of ordinary one more running in the preceding years the elections and the year of correct election. For example, there were 17 cases of assassination between 2002 and 2003; 9 cases were recorded between 2005 and 2007 (another period of preelection and election).

Political assassinations ae" 1999-2009 (- A Graphic Representation)

In the more recent elections to Nigeria, the weapons to fire freely were used. In the crisis of Jos of November/December 2008, more than 500 lives were lost in the mutilation that led than the election. Several of these hospitalized one were victims of injury of bullet. How compares-t this to what obtains in the somewhere else world, where the results of election are respected and the electoral process is executed in a methodical manner?

A common characteristic of the political land is at Nigeria the problem to recycle individuals and of families ae" giving the impression that there is some eternal mandate that these individuals and these families always must be there. How to do explain us a position where some political actors that were contemporary of the Last Sage, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, always glide around the strength corridors. There are some individuals that remained in flirts it political all by the 29 years of army ae"the rule in the democratic era to Nigeria. What a shame that almost two years after the 2007 legislative elections, there always are several pourtant-a -est-les process resolved.

The this is a fact that since the contentious, Nigerian elections of variable attempts, were united in to look for a reformation process that waters the tree of a transparemment, liberate and the just election to eliminate the resentment that greeted the results of the April, 2007 polls and hate and literally created anarchy.

Will for do how much time of the Nigerian live one with this level of resentment and of uncertainty? When the transparent elections will be directed for that to the end the loser is even quick to grant the defeat and congratulates the conqueror? In the United States elections of November 4, 2008, republican presidential candidate, John McCain granted gracefully the victory to the presidential Democratic candidate, Barack Obama in less than 24 hours after polls. The conqueror and losing it in the American elections be done the Electoral employer to announce the election result the most celebrated one has for result the world. They counted on the results as announced lives by the New ones of Cable Forms a network (CNN).

The it is instructive to declare here that the television of national Nigeria, the Television Authority Nigerian (NTA) had a live report of the American election. Why has it was not possible to cover our live national elections. Some international observers were refused the entry and their reports disconcerted by our electoral, nevertheless Nigerian authorities went to Ghana to check elections! Our electoral process is not transparent and acceptable. The this is nevertheless to be done so nationally and internationally.

CORRUPTION

The corruption here is used to capture a condition or a lie state, impropriety, the illegitimacy, illegality or injustice adapted towards the strength acquisition, money or the position for the private profit and in cutting.

The corruption became endemic to Nigeria and a culturally corrupt system would produce a corrupt corporation. A corporation and a people would produce naturally his type, except there is a radical cultural surgery or there is a reorientation following the time: Recall the formula of Human Sciences. The Nigerian corporation furnishes a very fertile ground for the practices frauduleuses, of this manner to take to the corruption institutionalization. A corrupt corporation according to Lewis (2008) the products corrupt leaders and supporters; corrupt leaders copy or establish corrupt institutions and corrupt institutions creates a multiple of the corrupt systems. This can explain why there is hardly institution or the system that is free corruption to Nigeria. The religious establishments are not exempt in this. The corruption is in fact the worse enemy of Nigeria preventing the citizens to appreciate the huge natural resources. The corruption is harmful to the economical growth. It increases the inequality of income and poverty while reducing the economical growth. It promotes also and supports the unequal distribution of possession of well and an unequal access to the education (Olajide, 2008).

Despite the agency establishment anti- corruption as the despite the Crimes Economiques and Financial Order (EFCC) and the Corrupt Independent Practices and the other secured offences Order (ICPC) corrupts practices continued to show in several manners and several ingenious notorious forms to Nigeria. This monster called the corruption continued to be the blight of the unity of the country towards the realization of the Objectives of Development of Millennium. Recently, to an interactive meeting with the House of Representatives Committee on Drugs and to Narcotics and to the Financial crimes, the general Director of the Crimes Economiques and Financial Order (EFCC), alleged that some Nigerian ones are done to reimburse themselves on to fall it the global prices and crossed avoaient the globe day and night to obtain property with pillaged money of the country. The authors of this crime know to beat all the mechanisms set up to verify their abominable activities. Our picture seriously was dented by the activities of corrupt Nigerian ones. The corruption among Nigerian shows also to Internet the fraud and the notorious Advance Liberates Fraud (aka 419). A number of Nigerian and the foreigners little suspects was victims of Internet and of fraud of expense IN advance. A number of young now big and big screws of the profits of corruption and fraud.

The picture of Nigeria seriously was dented through the globe following the practices frauduleuses of certain ones of our citizens. Several Nigerian ones languish in the prisons in a number of country ae" Someone that were not so happy, were executed by the authorities of these countries where they committed atrocities. The war against the corruption seems to have had a home during the system of Obasanjo. The administration of Ardua of Yar promised that there would be not sacred cows in the corruption fight anti of his administration. Nevertheless, his war anti- corruption came under skepticism and the following serious cynisme the redeployment of the former President of the agency anti- transplant and its hard numerous toils afterward that finished by his dismissal. The this is a very sad commentary and sends a very bad message to Nigerian and the international community.

The tempo anti- crusade corruption grinds little by little to a stop and some observers really are concerned, because the suffers from the masses, they feel were caused themselves by some individuals that diverted meant money for mass well-being for their personal gain. One of the apparent reasons why corruptions continued to impregnate the length and the width of Nigeria can be that the three arms of service of lip of salary of government to his eradication.

The damage corruption did to the political system and the generality of our people is incommensurable and countless. The malaise impregnates all put to bed corporation, including public establishments. According to This Day The opinion of November 5, 2008, nothing work well to Nigeria because of the corruption. Several roads are in a lamentable state, even when the attempts are done to rehabilitate the roads, the corruption will not hold the account of a meticulous and tough work.

Education and Corruption

Sexual harassment became so penetrating in the Nigerian service industry education. The this is a position extremely disturbing. The problem of sexual harassment in the highest institutions attracted the attention of a number of university ones ae" (Osakwe 2008, Igborgbor 2008, Okecha, 2008). Sexual harassment is a demonstration of relations of strength and of girls of most of the times and the women are at the end of reception. Sexual harassment is not limited at the level of age ae" some academic oldest children were known to engage in this abominable game. Some university ones lost their resultant jobs of this offence. Someone continued to exploit and profaner of the public of girls and marks boasts of their sexual teams. Some girls and the married women were traumatized, all in an offer to obtain a degree of university or the diploma of other service industry institutions. Closely linked to the problem of sexual harassment is the corruption in our educational system of primary at the level of university. The students and them students are obliged to pay one got up of a tax or the other. The signature of report of referees, the release, the course form, the data card ae" all attract illegal loads. A day there is in the history of Nigeria,

The professors to all levels of education won a lot of respects of the members of the public. Seen as honest, disciplined and morally uniform, the it was then the most fashionable one to look for a professor when a public position that called a person of high integrity became vacant. They had will have it saints and always proved their admirers to right when they had the occasion to bring their experience and their knowledge to concern public matters. Nevertheless, this revered integrity of the academic class appears to have taken his leaf as the country continues to reek of with the corruption (Aghedo 2008).

In the last couple of years, three professors paid the price for the sexual misconduct of girls and must is done shame to office. There always is a lot more expectation to be done shame to. The academic corruption supposed that the different dimensions spreading plagiat, the persecution, gagging liberty of teaching, the erosion of mentoring to the production of soldiers of foot/" to take academic hostage" ae" by which the junior university ones under a superior colleague has not choice but to do their master offers. Teaching liberty that characterized once the system of university erodes quickly and induces the politicians of dangerous campus, click them and the others group interest ae" of which the interests are some something else except the university ones.

The medical error of examination became also a major problem assailing the education to Nigeria. The phenomenon became monstrous and will take measure only very bold and pitiless to eliminate. The unfortunate position is that some people that are counted to address that this problem is products of medical error of examination itself.

  1. The medical error of examination is not the limited sex, the boys and the girls are firmly in the matters.

Transport and the Corruption

The airports lack the necessary opportunities; the Agency of Direction of National Urgency (NEMA) cannot localize sites of debris of air. The challenged location the most recent one until several months after by hunters. The iron ways remain dysfunctional ae" some rail lines now are used by the merchants to post their merchandise.

General attitude to the Corruption

The people bitterness expresse not longer and shocks every time they hear about billion Naira is flown of the public cash registers, since it became now a daily event. For example, it was retrieved that in a month, a Governor in a state spent N1bn (A billion Naira) in his state for the security questions ae" a state where there was not war, or the failure of adherence to the law.

The corruption statute to Nigeria today is a product of the flimsiness one and the war irregularity against the corruption ae" having been fought to a stop by General Murtala Mohammed between 1975 and 1976, a data after as Buhari/Idiagbon and late by Nuhu Ribadu would have brought the monster to its knees. But the period intervening between Mohammed and Buhari did to enter General Babangida that governed between 1985 and 1993. In contrast to the system of Buhari that came strong on the plundering ones of public subsidizes several of that were transmitted the various terms of prison, Babangida returned the goods of the various officers and restored the rows of the dismissed officers. To call it the corruption reward! This history can himself to repeat again, if the hard toils of Nuhu Ribadu are allowed continuing. To call it the punishment to fight corruption! The war against the corruption sleeps currently.

The corruption and the Sector of Strength

Two thousand (2.000) the electricity medgawatts were products in 2008 as against the 3,000 product in 2003. These are ridiculous faces. The South Africa with a population of 60 million, produces 45,000 medgawatts and the government of South Africa inhale to increase his capacity to 60,000. How can Nigeria always claim to be the giant of Africa? Our industries and the businesses to small ladder furnish their own electricity ae" how can they themselves there meet again in front of the cost of exorbitant production essentially because of the public constant nutrition lack. How to be able industrial dreams of Nigeria are realized to the light of the challenges of current energy. Despite the the President project to declare an urgency state in the strength sector, the things did not improve. The businesses to small ladder, the craftsmen and several independent Nigerian ones was forced to close their businesses because of non-availability of strength.

It was retrieved (Says December 8 that in a month (November, 2008) the position of strength of deterioration forced the Held Strength Business of Nigeria (PHCN) to announce the loss of 800 capacities of generation of MW ae" in the same period the Central Electrique of Sapele was closed completely, and the electric central one of Egbin in Lagos worked "to the reduced capacity". Exactly 10 days after, PHCN retrieved the additional loss of 200 MW. All these were responsible of the 12 strengths all the hours zonal to ration rotation to maintain the stability of system and guarantees even the distribution of the production of limited generation of the plants working. Under the rotation project, PHCN divided the country in zones. Every zone obtains from the electricity for 12 hours; even this is not any guarantee that the light would come. There are sectors/sections of the country where the cut of current is the than public more uniform nutrition. Even the "promised" additional 6,500 MW by 2009 is a lointoin report of our ask foreseen electricity to Nigeria.

We more informed (Says December 2008) that every University spends more than N120 million yearly on Diesel. What a colossal waste of money that would have been plowed in the other sectors criticize administration of University. Not a lot of same Universities can allow themselves Nigeria to spend that staggers the money sum for the electricity. This, does not include of course the uniform bills of electricity of PHCN.

THE CORRUPTION AND IRON INDUSTRY AND STEEL

Iron and the industry in steel swallowed billion dollars, since the years 80 ae" nevertheless there is of nothing to show for him. The Federal series of Government on the Steel of Ajaokuta and Delta plants, next to three Rolling Mills Interiors to Oshogbo, Jos and Katsina. The plants in steel and the Rolling Mills were not able to meet the aspirations in steel of Nigerian ones, principally because of the neck of edtranglement of corruption and beaurcactic. What we have are now more as the museums in steel instead of plants in steel. How do we explain the astronomical iron imported cost and of products in steel when we supposed to be producers of the product? In certain of the plants, the components and saves on the part no longer are are produced in any party of the world. The computer components are totally desuets leaving this manner the engineers for cannibaliser of the current components to the point that there is of nothing to have recourse to.

The Delegated Minister overseeing the Ministry of Development of Expressions and Steel, pled recently with Nigerian to be the patient with the development rhythm, declaring that, "the is not for them one goes the slow government". Unfortunately, the Nigerian ones do not be able but believe that the present and the past administration has not any net political on how to reengineer iron and the industry in steel and the disposes for industrial Nigeria leaves. For will do how much time of the Nigerian ones await the take-off of an effective iron and an industry in steel? Several Nigerian ones were sent to Europe, Russia and Japan to be induced for iron and the industry in steel. All these high manpower of calibre was dismissed in front of politics of privatization of the last administration. Certain of the plants in steel were concessioned to the associates of partners/matters politics of the government of the day.

Iron and the industry in steel are the foundation of significant development, technological and industrial of any nation. Nigeria cannot allow itself to remain an eternal importer of the products in steel. This sector significantly must contribute to the economical development of Nigeria. Do not seem to be there a clear card of road that would take Nigeria to becomes a major participant in the development in steel on the African continent. How to be able the dream of done Nigeria one of the better 20 economies of the world by 2020 realize themselves? How can this to be attained when the mills in primary steels were privatized in the bad hands? The check of the primary source of steel (the liquid and flat) is the check of the industrial development of the nation. Iron and the industry in steel are then a sector criticizes economical development that should not have left in the hands of so foreign or native investors.

The devoted rail line linking up Business of Steel of Delta, Aladja, Business of Steel of Ajaokuta Limited and the iron Nigerian Extracted Ore Business Itakpe is nevertheless to be completed ae" until this is done the value a lot of the businesses never can be returned counts. The rail project of line, as several other projects of government is more as an abandoned project that already suffers quickly depreciation. The Niger of River is nevertheless to be caught and the estuary of Escravos is nevertheless to be clarifyed. The steel liquidates never can be produced to Ajaokuta without all these things is set up.

LAWFUL SUPPLEMENTAIRE MURDERS

A problem that bothered a lot of Nigerian and the sharp shivers down below the thorns of the community must does with additional lawful murders. A number of families were traumatized to result from the loss of their a magnet in the incidents touching on the additional lawful murder. The unfortunate aspect of this development is that the proofs or totally are obliterated or the victims are presented as the criminals ae" the death cannot speak for itself or itself. Some examples will support the point here ae" Almost two decades there is, a star an athlete Deleatur Udo Nigerian was pulled dead to a point of check of Police. This was also the a lot of a number of innocent Nigerian ones to the various points of check of police through the country to a point or the other. In 2002, some merchants traveling alongside the Okene ae" the road of Lokoja was intercepted by some policemen that discovered they had a lot of monies on them. The policemen clogged the merchants and packed them in the bus and the rules on the fire, while to spin with their millions of Naira. One of the merchants survived miraculous and escaped and retrieved the incident. The policemen were apprehended late, was tried and was condemned with appropriate. A famous journalist, Bayo Awosika is dead in the circumstances touching on the additional lawful murder. It was alleged that it is dead after his vehicle hit a van of police and afterward collapsed several times before to land to a somewhere else road. Despite the complaint of sommersault, there was not dents on the vehicle; the handbreak of car of Bayo always was on; and there was a piece of wood of fire under the car. The examination of mortem of post revealed that the young man is dead of an injury of missile ae" that is, it was hit by a metal in quick movement (the bullet). Be able this was another case of additional lawful murder. The case of citizen John Abah in the State of Benue always is very fresh. November 14, 2008, the bullets emptied by a team of patrol of police abbatue him, the young man had taken out that the night to relax with its friends when his life was cut runs. The incident that took to his premature death is retrouvable to a rupture between the deceased and a policeman to a parlor of public beer. In 2006, the policemen killed a young man in the same city ae" Oturkpo, on a protest by the inhabitants to a duty of ease of PHCN to supply the current interruption.

December 2, 2008, the authorities of Lagos University of the state, were obliged to distribute a press communiqued on the shooting of its students. This was the consequence to the shooting the 25th November, 2008 of 4 students of the University that had gone for the identification of Local Government. To result from the quick reaction of the authorities of Lagos University of the state, the Governor of State balanced itself in the action. The policemen that separate themselves were stopped and were dismissed afterward. One of the students pulled finally succumbed to its injuries despite the collaborations of Lagos Declares Government and Lagos University of the state to save his life. The question is for will do how much Nigerian time tolerate this barbaric and insane murder of its citizens by the people that are counted to protect them? The murder of a student to Athens, Greece early December 2008 released protests of the students and the professors for several current days. The murder of a Brazilian one in the United Kingdom for a terror attack took to the accusation of the policeman interested. In December 2008 a lady was killed in the State of Ogun ae" she was taken for an armed thief. The police did the animated effort to justifies the Fact that the woman was an armed thief. A young man was pulled dead by the policeman in front of a bank to Benign City to engage in a scuffle in front of the bank ae" this incident has intervened in the month of January 2009. In the same month of January that a young man was pulled dead in Lagos by the policemen under the unexplained circumstances. Some commercial drivers were victims of shootings of police or the others form brutality for their refusal to the party with their money illegally "the right of normal passage".

THE OBJECTIVES OF DEVELOPPEMENT OF MILLENAIRE (MDGs)

Follow by the united Nations Declaration of Millennium that was adopted to the summit of Millennium been anxious New York, sixth September ae" eighth, 2000, Nigeria committed itself to realize the Objectives of Development of Millennium (MDGs) by 2015. These objectives were targets to do the measurable improvements in the lives of the citizens of the poorest world.

The objective I: Eliminer the Extreme poverty and the Extreme Hunger

Poverty stares at always Nigerian millions of in the face. The degree of hunger show clearly to burial, getting married of and the other social events where liberates food and the drinks are generous served by a privileged few one. In such gatherings, several non invited guests jumble for the food. Worse, always are the adolescent ones that grind that awaits with impatience these properly served one, to leave the remainders for them or eat or take. A lot of our young ones became now vultures in the middle of the presumed abundance.

According to Bolatito (2008), poverty exists where the people lack the means to satisfy their basic needs. These could be defined in a limited direction as those need necessary for the survival, or on the whole those need reflect the norm dominating to live in the community. Poverty describes a position where a resources of peuplades (equipment, social and cultural) if limited also as to exclude such people of the method of acceptable life minimum. Poverty is at multiples facets (Bolatito 2008); it includes the poor access to the services and public infrastructures, the environment insalubre, illiteracy and the ignorance, poor health, insecurity, aphonia and the social exclusion, including the low levels of income of household and of insecurity of food.

Between the period 1980 to 1996, the poor people proportion increased of 28.1% in 1980 to 65.6% in 1996. This, from the viewpoint of the numbers translates to 17.7 million poor people in 1980 and 67.1 millions of people in 1996. It is considered that by 2015, between 30.1 million and 40.4 millions of people would always live in the poverty to Nigeria.

According to the African Forum and Forms a network on Debt and the Development (AFRODAD 2005), Nigeria with an income by annual person of scarcely $300, is one of the 20 poorest countries in the world. It is considered that Nigeria grows to about 3% and the rate of national economies is about 15%. In the middle of the others to intimidate challenges of deterioration of infrastructural and in the middle of the corruption, how can Nigeria attain the objective of first Millennium?

Since the independence, Nigeria solidly belonged to the country group with a low level of human development, as characterized by a (HDI) the coefficient of less than 0.5 (on a ladder of 0-1). With a score of 0.470, Nigeria occupies a position low 158, where a country as Eritrea and Senegal succeed better. This is a very big shame in fact. How to be able the is said that the Republic of Benign and Rwanda are higher on the ladder than Nigeria in PIB by person.

The tables 1 and 2, summarize the position sordide as it relates to the classification of poverty of Nigeria at the global level. How feasible MGD1 in front of this is it staggering the poverty level to Nigeria?

The OBJECTIVE 2: Attain the Universal Primary Education

The Political National one on the Education (2004, revised) the states that "the Government recognizes the education as an excellence of peer of instrument for carries out the national development. The Commission of Universal Basic Education (UBEC) is saddled with the responsibility for guarantees that Nigeria attains the objective of Primary Education Universal by the year 2015. How this high objective can it be attained in front of the refusal of cooperation of several states in the federation, in not meeting in top with the ask for attains their state funds for the program of Basic Universal Education? Less than 50% of the states in the country were able to conform while paying their counterpart subsidizing. Unless and until this is done, such implicit states, and by the extension, the country will be incapable to meet the 2015 date back to target to attain the universal primary education. Which could be responsible of the dull attitude of several governments of the state towards to fill their duty party in this consideration? The this can be this education is under evaluated by the current democratic actors or that the conditions for attains the funds do not allow for the infiltrations more financial, more huge and more normal in the bad hands?

Nigeria endorsed also the lecture of Jometien on Education for All (EFA) by the year 2000, that exposed targets for early childhood cares for and the development, the primary education, secondary junior and the alphabetizing for adults. The tendency in the proportion of inscription brute (GER) indicates the considerable fluctuation in the inscription between 1991 and 2000. The inscription increased noticeably between 1990 and 1994, rising of 68% to 86%. Afterward, the inscription declined to 81% in 1995 and 70% in 1996. Therefore, Nigeria did not attain the objective of EFA of Jometien of 2000.

The Universal Basic education (UBE) the indication stipulates that primary every school and junior secondary should have a physics laboratory, chemistry and natural sciences to supply for the elementary science and the science domesticates; a well ventilated toilet for the maximum 40 students or studying them by the toilet; a professor to teach or check 40 students or students. These conditions by which is procurable in our schools is utopian, and cannot be feasible even by the year 2015. Very few schools have the pretence of a laboratory. The close shrubs furnish the toilet opportunities in certain of our schools.

The OBJECTIVE 3: Promote the Egalited of Sex and Give to be able Wives

The target of this objective is to eliminate sex disparity in the primary education and secondary by 2005 and to all levels of not later education that 2015. The informers here:

- The Proportion of girls to the boys, in the education more primary, more secondary and more service industry.

- The Proportion of female ones cultivated to the males of 15-24 old years.

- The Party of women in takes the job in the sector non-farming

- The seat Proportion held by the women in the national parliament.

Sex disparity always shows strongly in the access to the education more primary, more secondary and more service industry takes to the unequal access to the job (the Report of Development of Millennium 2004)

One estimated 50% of population of Nigeria is composed from women and girls; nevertheless, sex disparity in the access to the education more primary, more secondary and more service industry dates back to the era of pred-colonial and has its roots in Africa culture traditional. Will do the target of equality of sex and the empowerment of women is attained by 2015. The response is evidently in the negative one. The corporation must be ready to treat sex stedredotypant and the acceptance that the female sex can inhale to the highest height if the corporation will allow. The notion age long of women as is just there to have children or meet the ask pleasure of the people of men must be thrown. The excellent women in although the chosen career they enter into; they are very vouchers and better directors of the house and the corporation. There should be not discrimination of sex on the work, if the public or private.

The OBJECTIVE 4 ae" Reduces the Mortality child

The National Objectives of Millennium Retrieve (2004) noted that the step a lot progress was done in to reduce the mortality child. The estimations of the 2003 Demographic National one and Investigates Health put the rate of mortality of in under five as 217 by 1,000 with big regional variations. Urban and rural sectors had under five rates of mortality of 243 by 1,000 and 153 by 1,000 respectively. The objective projection under the consideration, is that, there must be a reduction by two third (2/3) of mortality of in under five by the year 2015. In of other terms, Nigeria should be able to reduce the morality of in under five to 49 by 1,000 by 2015. The this is the most not most very probable than Nigeria will meet the 2015 targets to reduce mortality of in under five by two third (2/3).

The major obstacles towards to attain objective 4 of the MDGs are the poor access to the opportunities of services of health (poverty), VIH/AIDS and poor maternal health. The good health maintains money of costs and this is not in the reach of the poor ones that form unfortunately the majority of population of Nigeria. The corruption and eagerness did not allow for the services of free health to the poor ones. Unfortunately, those in the government that must guarantee the high class opportunities medical in our institutions of public health failed in their responsibilities. The this is these same persons that can allow traveling foreign for the ailments more insignificant.

The OBJECTIVE 5: Improve Maternal Health

The target of this objective is to reduce the proportion of maternal mortality a three quarters between 1990 and 2015. Although there was the insignificant decrease in the maternal mortality since 1990, the level always high remainder to roughly, 1,000 by 100,000 births in life of the last years 90 to 2001. The maternal national mortality rate was 704 by 100,000 births in life with the regional considerable variation (MDG Retrieves 2004)

The maternal deaths to Nigeria, as in most of the countries in the process of development are ordinary retrouvable to the powerlessness of the women and their unequal access to the job, the finance, the education,
