Location context: Abeokuta
Everyone says ‘reduce spending’ but people disagree on what to cut first. Let’s prioritize with realism: what cut would actually improve services and trust?
Key angles to consider
- Convoys/protocol vs foreign trips vs duplicated agencies — which is the biggest leak in your experience?
- How do we cut waste without weakening security and governance operations?
- Should savings be redirected to health, education, infrastructure, or debt reduction?
Drop your take (reply-magnetic prompts)
- Pick one: A) Convoys & protocol B) Foreign trips C) Duplicated agencies
- Give a real example of waste you’ve seen or a credible report you trust.
- If your option is cut, what measurable improvement should citizens expect in 6 months?
Simple rule: State your point clearly, then back it with a real example or a credible link (if you have one).
Quick context (so we’re debating the same thing)
When people talk about this topic, they often mix up principles (what should be true) and practices (what people actually do daily). So as you comment, try to separate what you believe from what you’ve tested in real life — especially if you’re speaking from experience in Abeokuta.
Practical examples (not theory)
Example 1: a person may believe in discipline but has no system — so they rely on mood. Example 2: someone has a system but no accountability — so they drift. Example 3: someone has accountability but no clarity — so they stay busy without results. Which one sounds familiar to you, and what changed it?
What would convince you?
If you disagree with the original angle, share what evidence would change your mind. Is it a policy example, personal story, a scripture, a workplace case study, or data? The goal is not to win — it’s to learn.
