It's a waste of time. They should just improve on business environment. We have enough case studies of failure with state owned assets.

The most astonishing thing about Nigeria is the refusal of its leaders to learn from even their own country's past record of failure, let alone looking into what others elsewhere have done well or poorly.

What I don't get is why people who rush to use Ethiopia as an example don't bother asking why countries like the USA and the UK don't have "national airlines", or why the UK privatized British Airways in the 1980s in the first place. So many Nigerians are just incredibly lazy and incurious, even though the answers to so many questions are within easy reach thanks to the internet.
