SIMPLES:

A culture of greed that rules the entire fabric of the society defies development in every shape or form!!

Justcash:

From all indications if we have the money to provide these things, development will be achieved right? Nigeria has the money, why is our development difficult?
This is why I asked why such roads are difficult to build in Nigeria to encourage businesses? Why are the basic infrastructures so difficult to provide? Are Nigerians allergic to such provisions? We actually have the money to get these things, but despite the allocation of huge public funds by the govt, things are never gotten right. Why?

True

because people like you complain but change dramatically as soon as they get to the seat.  I have witnessed several.

@ tensor777: Apart from an inadequate primary health care sector, we have alot of literacy schemes in Nigeria, both by the Government and private sectors. If you are not aware, we have an abundance of technical skills that have become redundant and obsolete due to lack of practical application. Primary health care will be good only if it will be free because at the moment many Nigerians cannot afford it.
It still boils down to my point that with the provision of a good macro-environment, entrepreneurs will utilise those technical skills, Literacy schemes will become an effective way of instilling and upgrading skills to be applied in these entrepreneurial ventures, and primary health care can become affordable when wage rate increases, improves due to high employment rate and expands due to industrial competition.

Blue Magic:

shouldn't the youths indulge in shameful acts when the leaders are showing no good example!

tensor777:

Well everyone is accountable for his own actions. So anyone that goes into crime for instance should be ready to face the consequences if convicted.

edoyad:

^ Then how come governors and ministers are looting withnnv being convicted ? Isn't embezzlement a crime ?

The funny thing is, when you look at a GDP of about $ 300 billion, growth averaging 6-7% in the last few years, potential for growth in transportation, Agric, HOUSING, just name it; you wonder how silly can the leadership be to miss out on an opportunity to become gods in Nigeria's history ?

tokunegiye:

A NATION CAN NOT BE DEVELOP IF IT PEOPLE ARE NOT READY TO FOR DEVELOPMENT, WE ARE SO SELFISH  THAT WE THINK LETTLE OF THE UNBORN GENERATION. NIGERIA IT IS EVERY ONE FOR HIMSELF SO HOW CAN WE DEVELOP  AS A NATION

Justcash:

They can't even see the opportunities. They are so blinded by acute curruption and political power struggle.

edoyad:

@Kobojunkie ofcourse be means the political powers

Kobojunkie:

Then, I have to say that seems one of the major issues with the Nigeria psyche. Why do we ASSUME that these inept individuals are CLUELESS? They travel abroad more than most Nigerians could ever dream of doing. They shop in developed countries, educate their ward in some of the most expensive schools out there. They ensure they do all they can to get as much as possible for themselves, and go as far as to arrange their kids be married off to individuals who they believe would ensure they are taken care of. Yet we somehow think they are the clueless one here?

Are you saying that CLUELESS individuals are the ones who do all that is possible to get as much as they can for THEMSELVES first ?

Justcash:

I don't get your point. Is that not a betrayal of the electorates trust?

Justcash:

Does siphoning public funds for personal use show that they have a clue of what they are suppose to be doing in Power?

Justcash:

Explain yourself better so that I can understand. From all indications, what you wrote still shows that they are so blinded by curruption that they cannot recognise opportunities to become Nigerian political legends with some visible favourable economic trends.

I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU MINE BY DEVELOPMENT BEING EASY OR DIFFICULT BUT WHAT I KNOW AND HAVE COME TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT NIGERIA AND NIGERIANS :-XARE NOT YET READY FOR DEVELOPMENT. A NATION CAN NOT BE DEVELOP IF IT PEOPLE ARE NOT READY TO FOR DEVELOPMENT, WE ARE SO SELFISH THAT WE THINK LETTLE OF THE UNBORN GENERATION. NIGERIA IT IS EVERY ONE FOR HIMSELF SO HOW CAN WE DEVELOP AS A NATION

We need to develop ourselves mentally first before attempting to the develop Nigeria.

It's very challenging to develop Nigeria because people like yourself and myself are not doing anything, but complain and use corrupt leaders as an excuse.

It takes the entire village to raise a bright kid; I think it also takes everyone of us to see a well developed Nigeria.

Many of us are too busy and too focus on only making money in Nigeria; none of us is willing to volunteer to contribute anything toward developing this country.

May be this is the right moment for each and everyone of us to pause and ask ourselves this question:
I'm now 25 yrs old or 30 yrs old or 40 yrs old or 50 yrs old, through out my life as a Nigerian, what have I ever done for this country?
If you can not come up with at least 2 things, you're part of the problem.

You need not to steal money from Nigeria to be corrupt.

We need to develop ourselves mentally first before attempting to the develop Nigeria.
