Nigerian techpreneur and Co-founder of AltSchool Africa and TalentQL, Sultan Akintunde simply known as Hack Sultan has reeled out some of persisting problems in Nigeria which are not caused by Nigerian Government.
According to Sultan, some of the problems include; official theft, street smartness, Area boys, Yahoo Yahoo, education, sexual assault, trust factor, no attention to detail and driving.
The tech expert disclosed these on his X formerly known as Twitter on Sunday, stating these problems are caused by Nigerian citizens.
In his words, “I woke up angry again today, so let me tell you about some of Nigeria’s problems that are not caused by the government.
1. Official theft: If you donate stuff to some orphanage, they staff will steal 70% of what you donated. Infact they’ll share it among themselves and give the rest to the kids. Same thing with public schools too.
2. Street smartness: This used to be a good thing but now it’s just a way for people to outsmart one another, and cheat the other person.
3. Area boys: The fact that it’s becoming a norm is just crazy. If you want to do foundation in your own land, you’ll have to pay these thugs, if you want to do decking, they’ll still come for money, even when you want to do borehole, you’ll still pay them and we’ve all just agreed this to be the norm. This is super crazy.
4. Yahoo Yahoo: We’ve just taken this to be the norm, some youth have seen this as a norm and they’ve categorised it as hustle. We even have parents who support their kids on this. This is a pandemic. This is a worldwide thing, even in countries with great infrastructure and education, you still have youths doing fraud.
5. Education: It’s just crazy nowadays, schools are supposed to have counsellors that’ll help students forge a career path, but it’s not like that again. It’s just crazy, you don’t even know what half the staff do over there. The quality of education has really reduced in a lot of schools and these lecturers do not really care.
6. Sexual assault: This is just terrible now, perhaps it’s not increasing, it’s just getting visible now. Perhaps it has always been this high and people are only just now strong enough to talk about it. From church, to school lecturers, to family members. Every where you turn, is a potential assault zone towards woman and a couple of these are zones towards men too. It’s however crazy that the older a guy gets, the lesser the chances of sexual assault but reverse is the case for women, the older they get, the higher the chances. Until the assaulters no longer find them within a certain desirable range. It’s just terrible. The fact that sexual assault doesnt end for women, they just outgrow it.
7. Trust factor: We now have little to no trust in or another, you can’t even buy something online without spending 1 week doing research and even after that, you’ll still get the wrong thing or a fake or nothing at all.
8. No attention to detail: The quality of our service providers are getting worse, there’s no single attention to detail in the workforce again, painters will paint your house and you’ll see errors in different corners. They’ll fit tiles on the floor and you’ll be disgusted at the edges, they’ll fix doors with gaps on top and under. Electric wires floating around like cobwebs.
9. Driving: No wonders we can’t drive in a lot of countries, our driving skills are terrible, we just know how to move a car, no direct driving principles, half the people on the road don’t even understand the road signs, the other half have eye defects that they don’t even know about. You want to know how we keep having tankers fall up and down? Asides the road being terrible, people don’t even know how to drive, they don’t know the speed limit or the weight displacement of the tanker they’re driving. They don’t even know the height, length or width. It’s just trial and error. People just get a car, jump on the road and pray not to hit anybody.
