IS NIGERIA A FAILED STATE OR ABOUT TO BECOME ONE?

Before now I find it very difficult to
accept or come to terms with the notion
or view that 'Nigeria is a failed state'.
Often times I do hear political
commentators and democratic disciples
branding Nigeria 'a failed state'.

Like I said earlier, I personally do not
agree with this view but coming across
a succinct, simple, concise and well
elaborate definition of a failed state my
view and stands changed drastically.
Below is the definition:

"A failed state is one that is unable to
perform its duties on several levels:
when violence cascades into an all-out
internal war, when standard of living
massively deteriorate, when the
infrastructure of ordinary life decays,
and when the greed of rulers
overwhelms their responsibilities to
better their people and their
surroundings"(culled from Chinua
Achebe's 'There was a country').

Going by the definition above, can one
conclusively say that Nigeria is a failed
state? Please I urge all respondents to
be civilize in airing their views because
this issue has to do with the state of
health of our dear country.

On the verge

Are you a wailer, an ipob or an epa?

fail is understatement,

Could be both depending on how you're viewing it.

We have been a failed state since the regime of Gen babangida.

With the APC lead federal Government? Definitely Nigeria is becoming a failed State.

As long as rule of law is neglected, it is not a state! NIGERIA IS NOT A STATE

If they know you can't perform and they give you a task base on sentiment who will you blame? You can't give what you don't have.
