Decision Rule
If X2 calculated> table value of X2
..H0 should be rejected.
If X2 calculated < table value of X2
. . Do not reject H0
Since
the table value of Cbi-{X2) is 0.25 is less than the calculated Chi
(X2) of 1.84, we reject H0 therefore the alternative hypothesis is
accepted.
This shows that there is a relationship between patronizing prostitutes in Nigeria.
4.3 EFFECT OF FOREIGN COMPANIES ON SOCIO-ECONOMICS ACTIVITIES IN NIGERIA
Since
the Federal and State Ministries are solemnly responsible in awarding
contracts on road construction to these foreign companies, one cannot
but look at the positive and negative effects of these companies on
Nigerian roads. Today in Nigeria the most widely executed projects still
comes under Civil Engineering. Most roads constructed in Nigeria today
are constructed by these foreign companies. This is because these
foreign companies have state of the art equipment used in road
construction which makes their roads standard. One can see that these
companies come with factors that are suitable for our terrain like the
codes of practices adopted by these companies. The technological
advancement of these companies on road construction has created a lot of
job opportunities for both skilled and unskilled workers. This has even
exposed the Nigerian graduates to modem facilities. Roads constructed
by these companies are always durable this is why the Nigeria government
has more trust in foreign companies than the indigenous companies.
If
one is to look critically at these companies one will discover that in
the process of registration with the corporate affairs commission this
generates money into the Nigeria account, because they will have to pay
before they get registered.
Another look at these companies, one will
discover that the total bill is on their side because they take our
money to their country i.e they invest into road construction and make a
lot of interest which they finally take to their country. One can see
that even some of these companies are being paid in hard currency which
makes our local currency to be weak. Even the process of transferring
huge amount of money to foreign account is very expensive.
4.4 EFFECTS OF FOREIGN COMPANIES ON SECURITY/NIGERIA GOVERNMENT
The
foreign companies involved in road construction have a well motivated
workforce. One can see that most roads constructed today in Nigeria have
linked many states and villages thereby promoting trade between states
and villages, they have also lead to the growth of other companies like
the cement company, the paint industry in which overall has crated
employment in Nigeria. Most engineers working in these foreign companies
are really sent abroad to upgrade their knowledge in the construction,
industry. A main reason why some of these companies place their
priorities right is that some of these companies have their own
government backings, which makes their work more effective.
Another
look at these foreign companies involved in road construction one will
discover that we expose them to our terrain which is very bad in terms
of war, this also makes them to have updated maps of Nigeria roads which
you cannot find in some ministries.
(The average German in any
construction company knows the Nigerians more than we know ourselves).
This can create a lot of security hazards in future. These companies
expose Nigerians to Western civilization because you see them (i.e. the
expatriate) in clubs, driving expensive cars which makes the Nigerian
ladies flirting around (i.e. prostituting). This eventually leads to
spreading of diseases such as h I v, syhillis and all order infection
diseases.
Most of these foreigners are not Civil Engineers, their
rather technicians from their various countries. These foreign companies
(i.e. the expatriate) bring in bad drugss) to Nigeria because our diet
is not suitable for them.
