The big question is which one is preferable? Government owned facility or private? It would be wrong to quickly jump into conclusion without adequately find out the perks of both. For this entry, I would like to appreciate the management for their show of love and consistency in making the sphere available for us to send in our input. My singular prayer always is that God will continue to reward you. It's been an awesome moment dropping an input that could cause a quantum shift in one's life.
For this topic, i found it difficult to draw conclusions however I would try and bring out some benefits of both government and private sectors. I had the privilege to attend a programme in one of the outstanding universities we have in my country. I really enjoyed my stay all through the programme. I was shocked when an elderly person shared how the school started over fifty years ago. He told me how that the government sectors thrived better than the private. In fact there was no mention of private so much if not because of the decline in leadership system that erupted which paved way for corruption.
He said in those days there's no facility that can be compared to government own. They were viable and reliable. He had the privileged to attend most of the government facilities such school, health and many others. The university that accommodated us, in one evening I went and saw how the dinning Hall dilapidated. He said in those days you don't cook because the government provided everything that a student needs. Anytime you wish to eat you go straight to the dinning and collect whatever you want. Life was easy and cheap for the masses.
When corruption started invading the fabric of people, most government facilities and sectors are rendered useless. Everyone who gets to power tries to establish a personal firm. This became the Genesis of most present private sectors that we have today. The private came into existence to compliment what the government couldn't achieve. The big question that keeps resonating in my heart is that has the private sector really alternate what the government does? It's difficult for me to answer.
I had the privilege to attend government primary school until I gained admission into a secondary where my parents chose private instead of government. I had good and industrious teacher back then that always like to dish out what they know. They weren't as lazy as the crop of teachers we have presently.
all pictures are mine
The private sector supposed to offer better and organised outstanding services to the public but most of them are selfish and tend to extort resources from the masses. In as much as we have privates that aren't doing well however there are good ones. Let me cite an example with the health sector. Most of the government health facilities doesn't have enough machines to investigate some critical health issues. When my uncle had a protracted illness, there wasn't a good response from the government hospital because of strikes and other demands from the government. It was resort to take him to private facility where proper medical attention was given to Him.
When my wife was doing antennal processes in the government facility, She had to withdraw because of the poor health attention she received. Immediately we changed to private where we couldn't spend so much time before the doctor saw us and attended to us.
Presently it is the private that controls most things in my country in telecommunications, health, sports,etc.
Thanks for reading through my entry.
