DR. NICOLAS FELIX: THE IGNITION OF HOPE FOR A REFORMED NIGERIA

The FUTURE of Nigeria CERTAINLY won’t come to us as a GIFT, it will only come to us as an ACHIEVEMENT, and so it was destined so many years ago that, Dr. Nicolas Felix, an accomplished author, mentor, and a life coach born in Auchi, Edo State Nigeria to the family of Elder Felix and Pastor Mrs. Maria Uagbor from Ewohimi, Esan South of Edo State will come from a foreign country (America) with a TRANSFORMATION AGENDA to rescue Nigeria at a time of great tribulations to get her out of a seeming quagmire in the valley of the shadow of recession, corruption, nepotism, lack of true-federalism, infrastructural deficit, failed educational system, agriculture rot and poor security amongst many others. All these and many shall be made possible through the restructuring of the Nigerian polity.

With a drive for youth employment and empowerment, Dr. Nicolas Felix being a renowned CEO of the following companies located in the United States of America, being: Victory Security Company, Zoe Homecare Agency, Fresh Cleaning Services, Adiel Real Estate & Development Company LLC. & COO of ElDad Group of Companies Incorporated has immensely contributed to measures put in place to address unemployment which of course is a sure reason to vote Dr. Nicolas for president in the 2019 general elections.

In addition to the employment of over 450 employees in four (4) years across America, Dr. Nicolas is willing to replicate or surpass his employment record in Nigeria thereby providing jobs for over 500,000 graduates across the country through a reformed civil service commission and 300,000 non graduates through entrepreneurship schemes within the first four years to ensure a balanced society where gainfully employed graduates and artisans work harmoniously and assiduously, contributing more to the GDP of the country.

Dr. Nicolas Felix being well travelled and influential business and religious tourist privileged to have travelled travel to about 15 countries around the globe, will aside strengthening the diplomatic relationship of Nigeria, move for a sustainable infrastructure on borrowed ideas from foreign scenes taking into cognizance global best practices through the Federal Ministry of Works in partnership with the Nigerian Society of Engineers for sustainable development to address the huge challenge of infrastructural deficit. 

Additionally, In significance to the saying that,’ The secret of CHANGE is to FOCUS all of YOUR energy, not on fighting the OLD but on building the NEW, Dr. Nicoalas Felix has mapped out modalities to abolish the old and inappropriate tradition of shifting blames on the past government by incumbent and be geared towards focused governance as a continuous process by ensuring 100% completion of abandoned projects by either calling contractors to site for completion of projects before the initiation of new ones through his proposed pathways for Nigerian Development.

Interestingly, Dr. Nicolas Felix and his wife, Pastor Benita Nicolas have since been employers of labour through their various enterprise coupled with the placement of group of widows on monthly stipend in Church of God Mission Auchi, Edo State, Nigeria, and only will continue in their philanthropic activities even more as president and first lady, ensuring that more widows, orphans and vulnerable children are properly catered for through a well designed, sustainable and systematic scheme, to serve as a renewed hope for the ORPHANS and VULNERABLE CHILDREN with a view to walking the talk which says, children are the future leaders of tomorrow.

More so, in an  unprecedented manner, Nigeria will experience and cherish the supportive role of the personality of a true philanthropist first lady, Benita Felix, a truly hospitable, generous, considerate and benevolent woman who derives joy in empowering people irrespective of class, tribe and religious or political affiliation,  particularly those challenged by disabilities.

Dr. Nicolas with undying penchant for knowledge has an Associate Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering from Federal Polytechnic, Auchi, Edo State, Nigeria, and Undergraduate Credits from City University of New York in Nursing Program Pre-requisite. He also holds a Bachelor's Degree in Biblical Studies (BBS) Major Concentration in Ministry Leadership & Minor Concentration Pastoral Ministry from Ames Christian University in Florida, USA. To crown it, he holds a Doctorate Degree in Divinity (DD) from CICA International University & Seminary in New York City. With these academic and life experiences Dr, Nicolas is the surest man for the job who will bring his experiences to bear on the floor of democracy in Nigeria through his vast wealth of experience.

Like every candidate with vision in every election, the erudite and astute Dr. Nicolas, has put in place a very great and carefully planned agenda billed for immediate implementation in virtually all sectors of the Nigerian economy through the following;

Improving Security in Nigeria

Security as a major challenge of Nigeria will be given topmost priority especially in the area of securing lives and properties of Nigerians and most importantly the curbing of the Fulani/herders clashes which has almost remained a recurring decimal in Nigeria for over 8 years.

This will be achieved by the strengthening our military formation through timely and proper acquisition of sophisticated weapons and due payment of entitlements to both serving and ex-service military personals. Also the formation of service chiefs and security experts will be done on the basis of merit other than on tribalism or religious based. This will help to clear the bottle-necks and challenges bedeviling the Nigerian military and paramilitary which demoralizes and renders them almost useless in the face of insurgencies as orchestrated by Boko haram and the Marauding Fulani herdsmen terrorists.   
It is Dr. Nicolas’ idea that if security is addressed, it will boost the productivity in the economy and further encourage more local and foreign investors to do business in the country, boosting the economy through taxation and developing communities through their performance of the statutory social corporate responsibilities.

Improving power generation through alternative sources

The federal government under Dr. Nicolas Felix will through its power sector explore alternative ways of generating and distributing power to the masses at affordable rates. Some of the initiatives will be the use of solar energy, wind energy to compliment the hydroelectric energy thus addressing the global warming challenges of emission of carbon gases which results in the depletion of the ozone layer.

Providing access to healthcare

No nation can record growth of meaningful development without rendering proper healthcare services to its productive class. Therefore, an autonomous and functional healthcare system will be achieved through the provision of free healthcare services to both civil and public servants as well as the masses through the National health Insurance Scheme, NHIS.

Since access to health care impacts one's overall physical, social, and mental health status and quality of life. Dr. Nicolas Felix will put in measures to remove all barriers to health services which include:

I. High cost of care
II. Inadequate or no insurance coverage
III. Lack of availability of services
Iv. Lack of culturally competent care

In removing the barriers to healthcare, the following will be addressed;

I. Unmet health needs
II. Delays in receiving appropriate care
III. Inability to get preventive services
IV. Financial burdens
V. Preventable hospitalizations

With these in place, the health sector reform will be sustainable through effective management skills of Dr. Nicolas Felix through the administrational skills of a knowledgeable Minister for health incharge off the medical affairs making sure that the health of every Nigerian becomes their wealth!

Developing and investing in infrastructure

Based on pure demographics, infrastructural projects such as roads, bridges, communication, sewage, electricity, etc in a developing country as Nigeria, with a population of over 170 million, will obviously offer significant projection for long-term growth and profit. Such projects as implemented by Dr. Nicolas Felix will enable both public and private investors to bank on capital appreciation for decades. This will most importantly, help to service the vital infrastructural needs of millions of young Nigerians. The population will, in turn, generate greater economic growth.

Eradicating corrupt practices

Corruption will be fought headlong using the existing anti-graft agencies such as EFCC and ICPC by strengthening it and making it independent of the presidency and interestingly through unconventional ways ranging from, prompt and due payment of salaries, wages of workers, and pension of pensioners, purposeful and conscientious leadership, efficient tax collection process to enable judicious usage of tax payers monies for infrastructural development, giving mortgage loans to workers to ensure every worker owns a decent accommodation, provide free healthcare services to both civil and public servants as well as the masses through the National health insurance scheme, Also, with the social security in place to carter for the unemployed and the elderly, workers will see no need to embezzle money to carter for themselves after retiring from public service. Punishing offenders to serve as a deterrent to future offenders will also be a good measure. Lastly, to make political office less attractive and lucrative only interesting to those passionate about service and leadership positions.

Improving Education in Nigeria

Since education is a major determinant of growth, pillar of development and measure of knowledge and qualification, and being that the foundation level plays a very important role in the intellectual growth of individuals, the teaching and learning processes will be reformed and checked by Dr. Nicolas foundation to ensure effectiveness for producing sound pupils ready for admission into the Nigerian universities to reduce the level of half baked and employment unworthy students.

In addition to regular review of curricula, our school laboratories, workshops and vocational centers will be adequately equipped with the necessary modern facilities by Dr. Nicolas Felix.

Lastly, motivation through benefits and encouragement will be for teachers and lecturers to improve on their teaching skills through the acquiring of more advanced academic qualifications in order to meet global teaching standards. Training and retraining exercises will also be organized for teachers to be acquainted with the use of computers and other relevant teaching tools. More so, regular promotion and payment of teachers will be placed on first charge as form of motivation.

Addressing Socio-Economic problems

The socio economic problems such as lack of education, cultural and religious discrimination, overpopulation, unemployment and corruption will all be tackled through a poverty eradication programme through which other issues will be resolved by the ripple effect of the programme. This will focus more of the average Nigerians on the streets and the less privilege who have no shelter to live in or food to eat and can’t even afford for their primary education.

Based on the foregoing, you will agree more that, Dr. Nicolas is ‘a leader who knows the WAY, goes the WAY and SHOWS the way,’ so let’s all get aboard the SHIP of POSITIVE change and row NIGERIA in a great direction for PROGRESS!

A VOTE for Dr. Nicolas Felix is a VOTE for a greater future for our children; For a UNITED Nigeria devoid of tribalism, nepotism and impunity, For Peace and tranquility!!!

VOTE Dr. Nicolas Felix, for TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY, CREDIBILITY and REFORMATION, your preferred candidate for the 2019 presidential race.

God Bless The FEDERAL REPUBLIC of NIGERIA!
