Primary duties of every government

[Deegodstime]

I have come to understand that most government deviates from there constitutional duties as a government and goes at it pleases then without being questioned because the citizens at time do not know the primary purpose of government in every country, to start i will be pleased to outline some primary duties enshrined in the constitution.
Below are some of the primary purpose of every government. At first I will mention protection of lifes and properties of citizens,  Provision of employment opportunities and so on. All this and many I didn't mention are all duties recognised constitutionally which most governments choose to deviate from because of their own reasons.

Go to My library in your country or go online and find out the duties of your government to you, the government are elected to serve you and they owe you some constitutional duties and those duties are not to be kept secretly.
I think provision of social amenities is a primary duty compared to provision of opportunities.

The reason why government deviate from their primary duties is incompetency, corruption.

You’re very correct. Citizens really need to understand what government is supposed to do for them. Government are not only there to make laws or even to only collect taxes. They’ve primary responsibilities which are, To provide basic infrastructure, protect lives and properties, provide jobs and many more.

Most times government can deviate from all this responsibilities and citizens may not even question them because they don’t even know their rights or even the duties of government. Knowing all this responsibilities is very essential so that they can hold government accountable.

The Nigeria government is among the governments that don't understand their primary duties. Those aspiring to power in Nigeria don't have the country at heart, they want power just to be able to steal public funds and enrich themselves and their household.

The current government of Nigeria has been unable to protect the lives and properties of its citizens. for the  years and few months spent in office Nigerians have been killed like flies by boko Haram, bandits and unknown gunmen, while we have a government that sworn an oat to protect the lives and properties of its citizens.

Also, they are about  to wrap up their four years in office, yet no Job opportunities have been provided for the citizens. They want to return to office next year, and some foolish Nigerians are busy taking bags of rice in exchange of their vote next year. what a tragic cycle that keep the country trapped in the same problem year after year.

Government uses the strategy of controlled poverty on their citizens. I strongly believe that leaders do not neglect their primary duties by mistake, they intentionally keep the system and environment very broken and weak so that they can maintain control over the mass population. If you give it critical thought, imagine the government actually does the right things by providing constant electricity, safer roads and very quality education, then it will naturally push the citizens to become financially stable, independent, smart and they will also become powerful in their decision making. When people are educated and wealthy enough, then they start asking the right questions and having the confidence to chae corrupt politicians out of office.

The sole purpose of the government is to provide the basic things a society needs to survive. Security for me is number one on the list. I live in a country with poor security. Both national security and world security. World war is coming, and we Africans can't boast of our defenses. What they have are traditional military facilities used in the 90s. 

Africa lacks modern military technology that can detect threats, communicate securely without data breaches, drone technology, early warning systems, and AI technologies that support the military.

Its indeed obvious that the meaning of leadership is different to Nigerian leaders, to them its all about power, stealing of public funds and bribing all institutions so there won't be questions why the lifes and properties of citizens are lost on daily basis. 
Recently I saw a news where Nigerian president paid a huge amount of money to a body in US to cover the constant genocide going on in his country, if a president can go that far just for power what is the assurance that the lifes of citizens are in save hands. It is obvious that there is no government in Nigeria,  the only thing present are groups of criminals operating in disguise.

The primary duty of the government is to extort citizens through taxes, giving them poor quality services in counterpart, while the government's agents set high wages and benefits for themselves, while also operating side schemes with businessmen and judiciary system members to boost their income even more.

The duty of the government is to maintain such schemes going on, while keeping the citizens calm and obedient, as if nothing wrong was happening.

1) Collecting taxes
2) Taking away our freedoms
3) Killing us

I will also  add that a vast majority of the citizens do not know the duties and responsibilities of the government. This is majorly due to illiteracy and ignorance, that is why it is very easy for these people to be manipulated with cash rewards and other items.

The political leaders of these affected countries understand the weaknesses of the electorates and are using it against them. They understand that the citizens (except for few) cannot ask for accountability on things they do not know are supposed to be provided for them by the government. After every four years, they play with the psychology of the people again and again.

The country needs more activists and brave patriotic citizens that will consistently call out these governments when they are doing the wrong things. There needs to be a group which will serve as watchdogs to curtail the excesses of those in power.

I don't even know what those in government intend to turn the country into, they seem to show little compassion, especially the president, as citizens keep dying every day, yet they continue to act as though nothing is happening.

President bola Ahmed tinubu is a failure, he's not capable of leading the country and it's no longer hidden that he never had any vision for the country, he just wanted the title of president to be added to his name.

The reason why the Nigeria government is unable to stop boko Haram, unknown gunmen, bandits and other violent groups is because they are all those things, they are the ones sponsoring those groups for their own selfish interests which is very bad. I pray Nigeria get out of this mess.

There are a lot of things to say about this current government but I will just stop here and hope things get better for the country, however, things can only get better if Nigerians stop taking bags of rice and peanuts in exchange for their votes, and most importantly stop letting tribalism influence their choices.

You’re very correct. Citizens really need to understand what government is supposed to do for them. Government are not only there to make laws or even to only collect taxes. They’ve primary responsibilities which are, To provide basic infrastructure, protect lives and properties, provide jobs and many more.

Behind the government providing infrastructure is sure that behind it are many corrupt officials, because there are wetlands that officials can profit, not for the sake of the people but for the sake of the position in view of the whole country.

Most times government can deviate from all this responsibilities and citizens may not even question them because they don’t even know their rights or even the duties of government. Knowing all this responsibilities is very essential so that they can hold government accountable.

Sometimes the government is not transparent, people who protest because it is not fair are often silenced by the government because they have the power for it, ordinary people just surrender.

The primary duty of any human government is protection of liberties. Government DESTROYS employment opportunities rather than enhancing them. That could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the circumstance.... in today's government structure, it's basically always a bad thing.

Employment opportunities can only be enhanced in a voluntary way... you can use physical force to make someone's life better when they are an emancipated adult by forcing employment decisions on them, or taking other people's money by force to help another person's employment opportunities as robin hood socialism. We cannot expect good social enhancement by doing a moral wrong, do you agree?

Very good topic selection, because people need to get this right, and they don't!

Even if the government can build the country properly, the ministers and representatives they have do not fulfill their responsibilities properly. As a result, the people have responsibilities to each other, this is wrong, in the current situation, such a feeling has been created in every country due to which various and various types of problems are being created in the country. However, due to neglect of all these responsibilities, crises always arise in the country, as a result, the responsibility of all crises falls on the people. As a result, the people are subjected to suffering, every government is appointed to serve the people.
But instead of serving the people, it puts the people in more danger, and all the benefits are taken by the government and its representatives. It does all these immoral activities to fulfill its own interests.
