When I was in secondary school my economics teacher gave me an insight towards answering lots of questions in economics. He said "anytime I need to write the disadvantage and lack of certain things all I need to look at is Nigeria as a whole". e.g the problems of agriculture, problem of demand and supply, problems with governance, problems with market and its structure, problems with democracy, etc.That gave me an insight up till today. Now Anytime I need to write about problems, challenges, disadvantages and lack of certain social welfare all I need to do is to look back at Nigeria even without prior experience in such field. Nigeria is a good example of lacking and lagging |

No. All that God does is good. He gave Nigeria oil as He saw good, as also He gives each other countries one thing or another or more things or natural resources. But Nigerians or almost all of us are corrupt and so we are cursed for cursed are corrupt and wicked people. If corrupt people are placed in the richest land in the world, they will make it a barren land by their corruption, wickedness, selfishness, greediness and all such things. The blessings of God became curse for us because we are corrupt, wicked, unjust, merciless, unrighteous and so on. Woe unto us because we Nigerians are wicked. But now let us turn from our wickedness unto the right and good ways that God may then relent from destroying us and from cursing us and then heal our land and bless us. Because really and truly, it is our wickedness that is destroying us. E.g., the money for health was stolen by the leaders and so many people are dying unnecessary because of bad health services, the money for roads construction and repairs were stolen by the leaders and many people, Nigerians are dying in road accidents, money for security was stolen by the leaders and police officers and co and so many of us are dying because of lack of security. And also the general public preferred the leaders who are looters and thieves than those who are honest and say looters are the most dangerous criminals and looting is evil but the general populace can never understand why because they are all wicked and corrupt. So you see that it is our wickedness that is destroying us in this country. |

maclatunji: it is a blessing. we only had leaders whose personal gain overided their interest in nations development, thereby abandoning other sector of the economy that could as well provide earnings and employment for the country thereby improving the living standard of people. fill this form and pass to others as I have done. https:///forms/F3ETBfNxv27DvOkk2 |
