Does Nigeria have a Future, does it have potential?

Lets not forget that Nigeria is 55 years old in the making.
55 years as an independent country...
55 years?
Borders recklessly shaped for vague interests from the European man

Why would we compare this country with the likes of the USA, that have had over 200 years of independence and an earlier300 years of conquest.

Talkless of countries like the UK or France, that have existed as nations and empires for hundreds of years, countless civil wars, sparking 2 world wars and outbreaks of global pandemic diseases..their civilisations derived centuries of influence from Ancient Rome, Persia and Greece,

Why in the hellll would we compare Nigeria's progress with these countries??
We have negative views of Nigeria, because things aren't as stable as in the western world. Because we compare Nigeria with the western world. (A Very stupid comparison)

You would be mentally slow to assume Nigeria is in shambles because of the nature of the people and the government.
Nigerians haven't commited attrocities in history compared to most western nations have.

YESS the country is in alarming poverty.
YESS it "was" under a corrupt regime, and still practiced today one way or the other.
YESS progress is slow.

But you would be insane enough to think that Nigerians are in the state of poverty, because we don't know any better.
Things take time, power reforms take time..the question is do we even have the time to catch up with the rest of the developed world?

Or am I seeing this point wrong?
