 плох possessed of Nigera from Qatar 2022." A wake up call to be more intensional abou our football administration. It is normal news that słag nedira did not qualify to play the ongoing biggs competition in Qatar 2022. This is the Biggs competition since 1994. This is the second times since 1994, when Nigeria made its first appearance at the warst tale… …that the country will be absent in the competition. The last time was Germany 2000 and six. It will seem like the absence of the supposed guarantee of Africa from the competition for the most prize honour in the wealth of its inconsequential to the country and its economy, but a deeper assessment of what might have been would prove that this was an opportunity missed on many fronts. Of course, the final results of not qualifying for the World Cup is the consequence of a whole lot of things are not right in the way we plan and conduct our activities as a nation. Like we do with every other aspect of our country, the efforts towards our sporting activities are not intentional. We are a nation with an ever declining locally. The effect of this in recent times is reflective in the composition of the country's signal national team, consisting of a larger percentage of players born and groomed abroad. It appears our footwork musicians are a bereft of ideas and are only looking for short ways to success. Hence the decision to roam Europe for any footballer with Nigerian roots. The effect of this approach, for that it begins the need to ensure we have a vibrant local league where enjoying stars have been discovered. Footwork out of the many sports Nigerian engage in has always been a unifying factor for us. The direct and residual income it brings to the economy even with our weak policies is big. The potential journey is even bigger. As a country that has one of the largest youth population globally, which is an opportunity for unending its sustainable development and growth through the empowerment of institutes, which will be doing better and more deliberate in the administration of our sporting activities. Anyway, I can liken this thing, I can liken it to every other profession with young persons or young Nigerians involved in. For instance, you go to university in Nigeria to read medicine. When you finish, you are thinking of going to Canada or US or UK to practice medicine. You go and read whatever you read in the university or whatever course you want to do. You want to jack back in local terms, which means to live. Now, when it comes to football, we seem not to care about, let me give you an instance. I hear the last time that there was this certain, I'm not going to mention his name, there is a certain billionaire in Nigeria, very well the billionaire in Nigeria. We all know him. There was this speculation around him having something to do with the football club in the UK. And I asked myself, why can't these certain billionaires or other so-called local investors invest in a local football team? Why these are more interested in watching when you go to the streets and you see them playing the normal European League or wherever, everybody is glued to their screams. I ask them, do you watch Inba United or what do you know, I'm not really a football expert. But all those, I normally follow up on socio-economic issues of socio-economic concern, which include sports. We are not enthusiastic about our own sports and activities, but we want to know what is happening in UK, European, English primarily or whatever. You don't care. So the next thing is once you can play football, everybody will start telling you, let's start playing for you. Let's hoping that a football club from UK United Kingdom or which other country comes to buy you off. So that the question is, it's not just a sporting team, it's a Nigerian unfortunately, it's a Nigerian negligence team, where you have government has not been able to put certain food down on policies that can enhance our socio-economy. Social economy is broad, it's not just about business-business. Football is an aspect of socialization and it's also sporting activities that brings people together. You can call it the socialization that affects the economy. You can actually get investors, it can generate funds for the country, right? And also not just a human capital development, it puts you to use. So it's not only just football, everything seems not working. So the government have to over all policies. We are going to 2023, I hope the new president coming in 2023, we see all these things. Youth development, business, youth engagement, employment, providing opportunities in a brilliant environment for businesses to thrive. That's one aspect. For sports, how do we encourage people that are talented to see how they can groom them so that they will be so good to attract investors to invest in local sports. People can watch, let someone in the US watch the AIMBA United or Kanu, what do you call them? Kanu pillars, right? There are many of them now, what do you roof? Yeah, you remember Tobia Musa, that one. She said something during an interview, she's been practicing, she's been developing herself but not in Nigeria. So she's been developing herself. So we don't invest in talents, we don't invest in talents in Nigeria. We don't see potentials and groom them. You see a child that is very good in athletics and you cite that talent from when she's seven. If it's in a foreign country or somewhere else, where they cite talents and appreciate such gifts, they start to groom that child from seven. Before you know that child is representing the country in Olympics years after. So in Nigeria we don't groom talent, there's no encouragement for the young people who are interested in sports. We like education but you know in foreign countries they are not keen on education. They are not keen on education. I have a friend in the US who did not even go to university. He didn't go to university, he doesn't have a master's, he doesn't have a degree. So he just took a tech skill and groomed himself as a developer and he self trained himself. He self taught, he's a self taught developer. So in Nigeria you are looking for a job, they are telling you if you don't have a 2-2 you won't get the job. If you don't have a 2-1 you won't get the job. If you don't have a master's, now you are not even looking at this person's ability. So what we are discussing is beyond Qatar 2022. It's an economic problem. Anyway I would like to bring your intention to something briefly. You say we like education and they are not. Let me, I want you to change this way, let's look at it from this angle. Actually the value education are brought down here. We don't value education here. There is difference between schooling and education. Yes, we like to like it everything to the four walls of the university. When you go abroad like he said, that's your friend is actually educated, very educated. He may not necessarily be in a conventional school but he is educated enough for him to solve problems. But here we have so many schools that are not even functional and yet our education is zero. Almost nothing. Almost, I use the word almost because for people like us and you and too, we were educated, we schooled here in Nigeria and we became educated by ourselves. What I mean is zero because education is brought. You have to talk about value, creation, orientation of the mind and understanding your environment. But we are saying that the government alone cannot do this. We don't expect the government, in fact government has no business providing jobs. Not that narrative of saying we're going to provide jobs for you is a lie. They've tried it before, it didn't work. If you go to advance world, the government don't provide jobs for people passing. They provide enabling environment for businesses to thrive, private sector, they drive the economy. This private sector will provide the job. But when they come outside, they keep using the word will provide jobs, will provide jobs. You don't have the job to provide as a government. You don't provide enable environment so that there will be jobs where private sector can thrive. For skills development is private government partnership. People can actually invest in sports to encourage young people build them up so that they can grow from Nigeria to the world stage as Nigerian identities, not Nigeria's outside. This is my own talk about the old thing. A few years down the line, if you look at our performances across all sporting activities, you will see that we were defined but at some point it began to decline because you see that some certain things that were available then began to be eroded. We talk about private involvement in many of these things. Yes, in our education, it appears the government has handed off that educational sector to the private entities. And that's where you have, even for us on this side, I can tell you our kids are in private schools, not in the public schools. Nobody trust the private schools again. But the thing is this, there is no policy framework that guides and also ensure the enforcement of such policy framework of all of these sectors. For example, in the education sector, where you believe kids are supposed to begin to be groomed in the different aspects of their lives, the academic aspects, the skills. You know, when you begin to identify where a child is skilled, if he can run well, if he can play basketball, you know, use their height, the body composition, you begin to see all of these things. And that's where the clients that we say are people want to try as modern as us. And that is the result that we already get with the area of players that we have in our national team, because most of them were born and groomed in those countries and we run, begin to speak with them, for them to come back and come and play for Nigeria. The question is what has happened to those of us that are here. Now, you have private schools who do not, all they need is just a two or three bedroom apartment to house their pupils and students. No arrangement for a field, a sporting field, where you have all these equipment, where you can train. I mean, we have killed that sector. Meanwhile, as much as we want to say, yes, everybody should not be looking up to a white-collar job, what exactly is the government doing in ensuring that when you leave school, you do not necessarily want to go to a ministry of finance or a ministry of justice or to look for one bank to work in. How am I going to be able to say, okay, if I'm skilled in dancing, I can use that same talent. I mean, I'm bringing economic prosperity to the country, to my community, to my family, without having carrying them in. Nowadays, we have, after the first degree, the run I had to do masters again, we have all become educated such that there is no one that is, I mean, there is no job for us. And the other aspect of our lives, we are not, I mean, the government is not doing anything, they have so much, have killed this area of our lives such that the youth just, everybody just look, I mean, where I want directional generation, everybody wants to read, we want to come up with the best honours in education and begin to look for the white collar job, which are not very good. These other areas, the talents that we have are not being honest, nobody to groom them. The government is not intentional about all the skills that we can say, okay, for youth, we can develop this, I mean, in terms of singing, in terms of dancing, playing football, playing basketball. Mr. Shaygu, I think what you are trying to say is that we are highly schooled, but not very educated enough to solve our own economic problem. That is it. That is it. Thank you Mr. Luashaygu Elec Bede. Elijah Felix is next after the break.
