I recently got a video sent to me by a friend that got me thinking. what is wrong with Nigeria?, Now if you are thinking there is nothing wrong!!! you need to have a rethink.
There is something seriously wrong. We need to find the root cause of this Cancer that has killed our humanity and has caused us to care less for our fellow humans. There are questions that need to be answered.
- Does Nigeria have an effective Emergency Service?
- Are Traffic rules strictly enforced?
Nigeria's Emergency services made up of the Fire service, The Federal Road safety Commission and what else? is there an emergency service that deals with health issues such as when people faint or there are fatal accidents? even the ones operated by the federal road safety commission are not effective.
Over the years Nigerians have had to rely on sheer luck and providence to save them from disasters with little or no help coming from rescue agencies which lacks the capacity and wherewithal to intervene in such difficult moments. Disasters derail socio-economic progress, and put millions of people into dire poverty or make the poor even poorer. The need to systematically reduce the increased impact of disaster is steadily gaining recognition and commitment of government’s worldwide Another reality that has equally come to the fore is the realisation that for Nigeria to effectively reduce the risk of disasters, she needs to incorporate her risk reduction policies into the national development effort.
