Because if na dis country u Dey talk about, na Wetin go vex me pass be that. Among all d three things wey u list above, Abeg which one d government don provide for us?

We wey Dey leave for country wey e just be like say our government don forget about us, our politicians just Dey after their pocket, and that’s all, nothing concern them with we the masses. E be like say no be dis country u Dey self, because I no Dey sure say person go Dey dis country come Dey talk dis kin thing again.

If government fit provide all those things wey u mention, then d society go definitely Dey safe because crime rate go reduce drastically self. Security operatives Dey wey be say if u misbehave, dem go pick u, and d reason why some people Dey do rubbish wey dem Dey do na just because work and Dey go survive. If everything is put in place, then I Dey sure say crime rate go drop dramatically.

What i meant is even in the developed countries,there are issues of unemployment,gun violence, fraudulent people etc but that does mean that the government of the developed countries are not trying. We have people who are hell bent on committing crimes all over the world. There is no government in the world that will say that let their citizens suffer. Government always try the best that they can give to the society but because the demand of the citizens is on the high side you will not see what the government is trying to do to help her citizens

In situations like this, I will always advise you to be precise with the particular government you are talking about because if it is the Nigerian government then my brother or sister—I think you are making the worst post I've seen. How can you say the government has provided all three things you mentioned, in what way if I may ask. Because if someone take a good look at the current form of the Nigerian economy and society, you'll see nothing but a high level of unemployment, lack of security and the environment which should be the least they could do for the purposes of health is not even conducive like you say.

The government is in total confusion as they do not even know the policies to make, the processes they should pass through to even make these decisions or take time to analyze what might be the outcome of these policies when implemented. I don't think the government has contributed in the best way to see that the country is better because the more they made the decisions, the more things get bad or even still worse. From my own observation, analysis and conclusion, I strongly still blame the government for the current situations in the society.

You can not compare Nigeria and other develop countries, We know that government can not really have full control over her citizens and that's why there her laws put in place to ensure citizens good conduct outside that, government can only do their best but can not come through for all her citizens. But Nigerian government have not done anything not to talk of their best and this is due to serious corruption. Nigeria is a country where everything are wrong, citizens are faced with insecurity and serious hunger, if they try to speak up(Protest) they will be arrested and made to face the law made for criminals as though the laws were made for the poor

Are you asking us, are you not in Nigeria? Do we have conducive environment? Do we have good security? Do we have good roads to transport goods and services?  You're asking like you're not in Nigeria, nothing is working since independence till date Nigeria is still not solve common issues to strive development. Till date we're still battling with social Amenities which the government yet to give to the people. So nothing will change until the government play their roles.

Without the necessary things, the people won't stop blaming the government, look at the countries where government has provided social Amenities to the citizens. The citizens are rich and striving. That's what it takes to bring development to the country, the , government must provide the necessary things for the people.

I just dey confuse for your post, where we see all dis tins wey you mention for Nigeria? If Nigeria government go fit do two tins out of dis three wey you mention Nigeria go be a better place by now and blaming no go much as e be now. I no see anything wey dey work fine for dis country no good roads, insecurity everywhere, see number of graduates wey no get job today due to lack of job opportunities na dis lead youths to different crimes in the country today.
We no dey gain anything from our politicians na dem dey gain from us, make I yarn today na our politicians dey sponsor all dis bandits and other crimes in Nigeria, so to me dem deserve di blame.

This one dey this country at all ? E be like you dey outside Nigeria dey hear fake news say government don provide good environment and create job opportunities to the people, there has been killing in most state of the country and you are saying that the government has is also securing lives and properties, see if you don't the government is corrupt and has not provided what you out line above.

The government may have provided all the above listed but didn’t you take the statistics of the number of people that are having access to it and the availability in the provision from the government, are they enough to cater for even 50% of the total population they’re ruling? If you’ve gone through this and they don’t align, you can see why blaming of the government for all this has become something to do by its citizens.

Then there come some citizens that don’t rely on they government for their own success, they try to battle it out and not be lazy, always looking for the smallest opportunity to make themselves a better individual. These type of people don’t care whether the government provides or now, what they’re after is their own self development. The Nigeria government unjust ruling has made people grown thick skin to what they’ve become now when it comes to self development and financial independence.

Can the government bring a situation of maximum safety ? Yes is it their duty of course yes. It is the duty of every government to protect its citizens. Even if its not really possible to create a situation of total safety, you can still improve the safety of the people to its peak. The government owes the people proper security and it is so important that one of the three arms of the government which is the judiciary is partially responsible for security matters.

Yes, it's true that government is responsible for the safety, growth and development of the society at large; they provide some basic social amenities to the people which is visible and executed as proposed by the government and yet there is still ills to the society. I see the government not to be blamed because we are the government and the government is us and it's the responsibility of all citizens to ensure and enforce justice but due to ethnical, social and human reasonings and difference etc according to psychological expert that proves that every normal human get mad in atleast few minutes in every 24hours of the day, some are also intensional their by making some people to vandalized the available amenities provided by the government due to anxious demand for success without being patience to see the wishes of the government to its citizens, while some also engages in kidnapping and causing nuisance to the society which there's no government that will applaud such  evil to the society and so, the government is not to be blamed because if we all reasons positively no more ills to the society but of which you and I know that it is impossible.

I think you know sey na 9aija local board you de post this thing, and if you de talk of Nigeria, you don get am wrong because, security no de okay for di country, job sef no de for people wey don finish school and people de jakpa every day, de commot from di country.

9aija government don fail for their own responsibilities, because dem no de do di things them wey dem surpose to de do, leadership de get quality, and the quality be say you go do the things dem we go make your people grow and make the economy de okay for everybody, no be for di big men only.

9aija government don fail di citizens, and na solution wey we de find so, all the policy dem wey dem de make, de favour only dem and no be so dem de lead people, e de totally wrong.

The inadequacy of the government steps can lead to a state of distress because if the law and order situation is not managed with a strong hand, citizens can behave in an unruly manner. The development of a state depends on the development of the country's education system, but if there are gaps in that system, then skilled manpower will not be developed and even if employment is created, the overall development of the country will not occur. Overall development is not possible in a country without the participation of talented citizens.

It is possible to develop the talent and mentality of the citizens of a country by creating social awareness. To develop an ideal citizen receiving primary education from the family is the most important. Therefore the state should make citizens socially aware on the basis of various programs. Make social efforts to improve law and order and be strict against drugs.

Overall, if the people of a country are not aware then it will be difficult to implement every measure with the sole efforts of the government. And due to the lack of proper awareness of the citizens, governments become corrupt and the country becomes poor.

In which country where the above mentioned things provided or is there another Nigeria we don't know because the Nigeria I know is a place filled of insecuritie, no job opportunities for qualified citizens, constant increase in the cost of goods and services and no conducive environment to live on. Nigeria is a country that was blessed by God but mismanaged by the selfish political representatives that are only interested in self wealth, power and every important quality in life and recognized the need the do the needful while in office.
In as much as Nigeria is consign, all the above mentioned factors are never available, in terms of security Nigeria is one if the most dangerous country to stay because killing is a legal matter in Nigeria

I think the government alone cannot develop a country, it is possible only when the government and the common people work together, then a country will start developing. To change the country or reduce corruption, the common people have to be most aware because corruption is done by common people like us. To change a country, the laws of the country have to be followed correctly. The law is equal for everyone, to run a country in an orderly manner, it is everyone's responsibility to follow the law. Corruption in Nigeria has reached a very deep level. The government cannot stop it quickly if it wants to, It needs time. We have to act honestly, give honest advice to others and encourage everyone to do good work. By consistently managing these processes correctly, the corruption in the country will gradually reduce and it will also improve. First, we have to change our own homes, then the society, in this way, it is possible to change the entire country.

Omo discussions like this they always have two sides two to it. The side of the government and that of the people. The government is the one that is responsible for so many things that have to do with the institutions and the systems, so it is the government that will always carry a huge part of the blame even though you cannot put the entire blame on the government.

But the big issues we face in the country today like insecurity, unemployment, poverty and moral decay are direct results of a weak system and failure in leadership over a long period of time. The cause of these issues is tied to lack of realist and functional policies that do not translate into real real impact on the street which makes people to live any how by their own means therefore making it easy for people to misbehave.

But once you have a functional system put together, where law and order do take its full cause, the people will immediately adjust to what works best for them.

Why I also feel that the people have their own share of the social problems is that some wicked people among us distroy what is meant to help us by refusing to obey the simple laws of the country and celebrate corruption when it benefits them.

Baba say government don provide conducive environment and job opportunities, like for Nigeria abi you mean generally as government? Because right now, I no go lie you, I no fit even travel freely through some parts of this country without my family panicking small. The fear alone na enough stress on its own.
And for jobs, bro, I just graduate and na only me know wetin my eyes dey see here. Every application na long story, normally opportunities here na either connection or luck. Even the so-called 'empowerment programs' wey government dey advertise mostly end up with the same circle of people. Meanwhile, the average youth dey hustle every day just to survive.

I first look the topic and the local board before i reply, omo bro say government don provide all these things (security, job opportunities, conducive environment).... i don die my fans. Because which Nigeria we dey talk about exactly? The same one wey light no dey steady, insecurity dey rise, and cost of living don turn competition? No be like say we Nigerians lazy o, we just dey do everything with zero support, the streets dey cry every day, people dey relocate because dem no see hope again. Until the government stops talking about what they’ve “provided” and starts addressing what’s actually missing, things no go change.

Omo yes o, the government is to be blamed. Because when people dey struggle for basic needs like light, water, and safety, basically e means say leadership never still reach where e suppose reach.

The Government to some extent is to be blamed for the ills in the society, I will state some of the key reasons why I said the government is to be blamed. In other developed countries the government are responsible for the creation of jobs, security, social amenities, a conducive environment free from pollution such as crime, kidnapping, human trafficking etc.

Here in Nigeria our government neglect the masses and their civic responsibility which is to safe lives and property, how do the government safe lives and property?, they safe lives and property by building a strong security system that fights against insurgency and crime, moreover lack of jobs has a hand in youth engagements in youths reactiveness, if the government provides what's needed for the people they govern these crime rate will reduce to it's barest minimum, because everyone will be engaged in one activity or the other and won't have time to commit a single crime. So as earlier mentioned the government is to be blamed.
