at a guess,
we should probably
divide the content of this post into
the
3 KEY AREAS
identified
in
the post title
thus :
(1) AREA 1 –
the circumstance and subject matter
of
occupations, jobs & careers
that
were long seen to be profitable
changing?
to be seen as less rewarding
(2) AREA 2 –
the circumstance and subject matter
of
jobs, occupations & careers
that
were previously not the rave
changing?
to be looked on / at / upon more favourably
(3) AREA 3 –
the circumstance and subject matter
of
the general state of the economy
causing
citizens who
were previously satisfied with
their standard of living
in their own country
to consider relocating
to other countries
in the hope of
achieving a better quality of life
there
Cherokee D Ass nma nm,
this particular topic may take quite some time
if we want to get down on it
and
when i say
it may take some time
i mean that
it may take
several weeks
several months
and
even several years
if
we want to attend to
the inherent issues
the linked issues
properly.
perhaps
we should start with
AREA 1
regarding AREA 1
it is my view that
during the period of time
that
the BRITISH FOLKS
the BRITAIN FOLKS
the UNITED KINGDOM FOLKS
the U.K FOLKS
the ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, IRELAND, WALES FOLKS
held dominance
militarily
economically
socially
socio-economically
technologically
scientifically
in
the RIVER NIGER AREA
i.e
in the NIGER AREA
i.e
in NIGERIA
they made
extensive investment
huge investment
much investment
in
the RIVER NIGER AREA
i.e
in the NIGER AREA
i.e
in NIGERIA
with regards to
infrastructure
administration
education
etc
i do not think we should de-rail here
and
go off on a tangent
responding to
un-informed arguments
ill-informed arguments
diversionary arguments
however
for the purposes of a short rejoinder to
all these ITK PEOPLE
ie
all these OVER SABI PEOPLE
who think that they know everything about anything
(1) the extensive Nigeria Railways infrastructure across Nigeria
( narrow gauge rail track )
in that era of time
is paradigm example
of
the depth,
the level,
the wide scope
and
the large scale
of their investment in infrastructure and infrastructure development
(2) the building of
the University of Ibadan,
Ibadan, Nigeria
.. which was? initially affiliated to
the University College, London ?
the Yaba College of Technology,
Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria
Kings College
( secondary school for boys in )
Lagos, Nigeria
is paradigm example
of
the depth,
the level,
the wide scope
and
the large scale
of their investment in education and education development
Cherokee D Ass ormahleechar nm,
i guess
the interested reader
( .. and also the un-informed argumentative reader .. )
can research further.
however,
to return to our topic
very clearly
the BRITAIN COLONIAL RULERS OF NIGERIA
made huge investment
in
having an efficient administration system
to administer their NIGERIA COLONY
and
this is witnessed in
the
VIBRANT COLONIAL CIVIL SERVICE STRUCTURES
OF
THAT ERA
which metamorphosed
with the granting of self-rule ( i.e independence )
on OCTOBER 1, 1960
to the natives
of
NIGERIA
( an emergent country that
once upon a time in world history
was referred to as
the NIGER AREA )
into
what became known as
the
NIGERIA CIVIL SERVICE
including
the then
EASTERN NIGERIA CIVIL SERVICE
the then
WESTERN NIGERIA CIVIL SERVICE
the then
NORTHERN NIGERIA CIVIL SERVICE
and
THIS IS THE REASON WHY
TILL DATE MARCH 2025
THE OLDER MINISTRIES ( FEDERAL & STATE ),
THE OLDER PARASTATALS AND AGENCIES ( FEDERAL & STATE )
CAN
TRACE THEIR ORIGINS, HISTORY AND BEGINNINGS
TO
THE PERIOD IN TIME
WHEN
BRITAIN RULED AND ADMINISTERED
NIGERIA
AS
BRITISH NIGERIA
AND
AS
A PART OF BRITISH WEST AFRICA.
Cherokee D Ass obi nm,
during this period of time
a CIVIL SERVANT
was reasonably well paid
and
had generally good conditions of service
at the work place
and
had workplace benefits
such as
official accommodation / official housing
and
hospital services paid for by the organisation he/she worked for.
this GOOD AND HIGH
STANDARD AND QUALITY
was
upon attaining self-rule ( i.e independence )
on
OCTOBER 1,1960
MAINTAINED AND REFLECTED IN
the lives of Nigeria Citizens
in the
1960 A.D to 1970 A D PERIOD
1970 A.D to 1980 A D PERIOD
who
worked for / with
organisations
such as
P & T
POST & TELECOMMUNICATIONS
which later
became
NITEL
NIGERIA TELECOMMUNICATIONS PLC
and
NIPOST
NIGERIA POSTAL SERVICES
ECN
ELECTRICITY CORPORATION OF NIGERIA
which later became
NEPA
NATIONAL ELECTRICITY POWER AUTHORITY
and later
POWER HOLDING COMPANY OF NIGERIA PHCN
and which later metamorphosed into
the present day
( circa MARCH 2025 A.D )
ELECTRICITY DISCOS
i.e
ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES
in Nigeria
e.g
ENUGU ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION COMPANY
EEDC
NPA
NIGERIA PORTS AUTHORITY
NRC
NIGERIAN RAILWAY CORPORATION
ETC, ETC
and
later emergent organisations
e.g
the NIGERIA AIRWAYS
and
this GOOD AND HIGH
STANDARD AND QUALITY
made Nigerians
generally
look forward to
working with
the NIGERIA CIVIL SERVICE
and
it’s MINISTRIES, PARASTATALS AND AGENCIES
at both
THE FEDERAL LEVEL
and
THE REGION LEVELS
which later became
THE STATE GOVERNMENT LEVELS
Cherokee D Ass obim,
in this era
i.e
in the
1960 A.D to 1970 A D PERIOD
1970 A.D to 1980 A D PERIOD
and
possibly up to 1986?A.D or 1989?A.D
occupations
jobs
careers
was a thing to look forward to
in the NIGERIA CIVIL SERVICE
and
it’s MINISTRIES, PARASTATALS AND AGENCIES
at both
THE FEDERAL LEVEL
and
THE REGION LEVELS
which later became
THE STATE GOVERNMENT LEVELS
and
occupations
jobs
careers
in the NIGERIA CIVIL SERVICE
and
it’s MINISTRIES, PARASTATALS AND AGENCIES
at both
THE FEDERAL LEVEL
and
THE REGION LEVELS
which later became
THE STATE GOVERNMENT LEVELS
were generally
much sought after
in much demand
highly regarded
and
highly rated
