Stop hoping on the government and move on.

[Didia Sofunichi]

Government at all levels have not lived up to expectations, the federal government have failed to provide basic amenities and even an enabling environment for business to thrive , the state government have failed to make life comfortable for citizens of their respective states, the local government have failed completely in bringing government close to the grassroot.

Nigeria is in a total mess as the citizens are expected to do for themselves what the government ought to do for them. The citizens are advised to wake up and take the bull by the horn

[Didia Sofunichi]

The government has disappointed many graduates in the world mostly in the African countries. The youth is the leaders of tomorrow yet the president is 97 years, the ministers are 68+ years and the youth works in the office as Clarks, Cashier and in the classroom as teachers. And I always tell people that they should focus on self employed or learn computer because there is money in the internet more than government work.

We can not rule out the role of the government in our attempt to become self reliant because the government must first of all create an enabling environment for us to do so. When there are no enabling laws the masses suffer the consequences

You are totally correct on this, if we really depend on the government for survival, that means we are ready to suffer or ready to beg on the street for survival, because depending on the government is just like throwing away water inside the pot hoping it will rain just because it's cloudy. So moving on or empowering ourselves without hoping or depending on the government can really do us more good than harm, especially in the time to come also for the benefits of our children too.

It is unfortunate that the government is failing in its responsibilities. If not, there is nothing wrong with relying on the government. After all, the government exists to serve the people, and the people's interests should ordinarily be the government's mandate, but unfortunately, this is not the case.

The truth is that we still need government intervention to make life easier for the general public. For businesses to thrive, we still need the presence of government. Regardless, we must be creative to ensure our survival.

I believe that survival is easier for creative minds than it is for hardworking people. Thus, while we wait for the government to improve, we must create something of value in order to profit from it.

Sure, inasmuch as the government has indeed been failing in their responsibilities to the governed, it still doesn’t change the fact of how much we need them, but where it’s totally wrong is when citizens put all their hopes and solely depend on them for survival, there’s only so much that the government can actually do for their citizens, their survival solely depends on them and not the government, they can only support the citizens through developing the state’s infrastructures, enacting favourable laws and police’s, empowering them and other few ways, but the citizens need to also help themselves as much as they can.

The government does have a role to play in making life better for people and helping businesses grow. But at the end of the day, we shouldn't rely on them for everything. There’s only so much they can do. It’s up to us to find ways to survive and succeed. Being creative and finding ways to add value can help us move forward, even when things aren’t perfect.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

If we think we have lots of things to go after as pursuits in life, then we don't have to wait too long on government for them to do something before we can make an achievement, one of the common behaviors from them is the delay in making implementation of something, we also have to learn to be independent, because in so doing, we are going to get to the destination we are heading to on time, than when we are only waiting for nothing.

Since I came to the realization that government can't help everyone, I begin to hustle on my own to be self employed than thinking that the  government will help me to secure my future by giving me a good paying job.

The least the government can do is to provide the basic amenities. Every other thing you need to soar higher for the future, you work it out for yourself because the government can't feed and provide employment for everyone at the same time

Yeah, some people depend too much on free things, and having that entitlement that the government should be the one taking care of their needs. Several years ago, the government discovered crude oil in my town and have been exploiting the oil for several years but only few in my town is benefiting or being compensated exploiting our oil and also polluting our air. Yes, everyone are meant to be beneficiaries of this but that’s not how it turned out and it would be wrong for my people to solely depend on the government to take care of them because they’re exploiting our oils rather going out to actually work for themselves to make ends meet.

It is unfortunate that our government only cares about itself. In theory, we believe that power belongs to the people, but in reality, power belongs to the ruling few. This is why the people will continue to suffer because the rulers believe that the resources belong to them rather than the people, so they decide how to use them, and over time, we can see that the government has done nothing to bring happiness to the people.

I believe that the majority of people are beginning to accept reality by no longer looking up to the government for their survival just as you decided, and some of these people have also refused to participate in elections or any government-sponsored programs that are not aimed at improving people's living standards. 

[philipma1957]

I never really ever hoped for governmental help.
I mostly prayed for the government to not harm me.

The government of most any country can do a lot of harm to most any group of its people.

So I always hope and pray to not be in the crosshairs of my government.

The strategic concept to better living nowadays that the governments are syphoning every perspective opportunities is that we should adapt to keep the laws but stay hopeless that the government would help you and began to do your usuals and living your comfort zone to face different dimensions of life be lifes prosperities is about networking and hardworking and thriving undistractedly.

We should I think not rely on the government help but instead make efforts to stand on our own feet even in the worst case scenario because that has happened to me and my family way back during pandemic and the disastrous supertyphoon that hit our place so hard. We are the only one who can reshape and get out from hardships in life.

Our survival is in our ends and the government don't give a damn about how you fend for yourself. The system is so corrupt that there is lack of job opportunities and there are many people out there that are depending on the government that will end up being disappointed. This is why there is no need to rely on the government of your country but only rely in God and believe that you can live a better life on your own without them. There are several multimillionaires that made their money without the the government assist.

You are absolutely correct, depending on the government or their assets is like living in a house without roof or pillars because government can be very very disappointing. I pity people who work under government without having another alternative or means of survival, they just put their trust in government, forgetting they are not God and they can disappoint at anytime.
So I always encourage people to empower themselves even if they are working under government because it helps when the government decided substitutes, so they that they won’t feel disappointed or bankrupt.

It's a fact to know that the government will not help every one of us one after the other. The human population in a country is large; there are not many jobs and industries to contain every one of us. However, only a few of the country's population will be lucky enough to get themselves government jobs; the rest will find means to survive on their own without waiting on the government to provide for them.

What the government can do is provide basic amenities like goods, roads, electricity, water, and security. The rest the citizens of a country want, he or she will provide that for themselves

The role of every Government is to create the enabling environment for the citizens to thrive and bring out their potentials that are inside of them because government can't empower everyone with skills or what they need what as far as the world is concerned even the world with the best economy people are still complaining and infact suffering so it's now left for the citizens to make use of their time and resources so that they can become a reasonable members of society that will contribute to the development of their society and nation at large

There is a popular saying which goes like this Patient is a Virtuous, but this saying is not applicable to the present day happenings in the country because if one continues to wait, hope on the government for a better life, without doing anything for a better life OYO is your case. The economy has come to a point where even the righteous citizens becomes unrighteous due to their indulgence in various negative activities. I personally do not blame tthe citizens, our leaders are the ones to be blamed here. The whole point of them being elected into those offices is to serve us and make our lives easier and not harder. Seeing the way the economy is going, there is no point waiting or hoping on the government, we as citizens should personally do whatever it takes to make our lives better, things like learning a skill, be it a digital, hand work or even a soft skill because with what am seeing the country is not getting better any time soon

In this errand that we are in now whoever is waiting for the government to come and do something for him or her just for the betterment of his or her affairs is non but wasting a-lot of is time and missing opportunities that will excel them and better there situation for the best if they should stood up for themselves. The governments only know about there self and family they doesn't care for you, will only look for you and humble their self to get what they want and later used propaganda words to achieve their aims and live the citizen in difficulty to suffer for what they didn't know of, so we should shy our eyes and engage ourself in a little an entrepreneur work so we can earn better living for ourself and our family. the government will not come to reformed or better your situation but rather will only look for you when they have an aims to achieve for there self.
