I have heard a lot of times when people say Nigeria is not America.....this or that will not work

My Question is why can it not work?

We all know that the American constitution works for its citizens hence can be a blue print for Nigeria.

We can adopt all its institutions as is and apply them here.

The SWAT, FBI, CIA, EDUCATION, TAX ETC

We can have special advisers from these institutions come in and advise

Each state in Nigeria can choose a similar state in America to bench mark and adopt its laws and practices as a blue print.

Jobs will be created in all sectors.

States that think they can not survive without federal allocation will indeed issue municipal bonds to raise capital for state projects, and states can borrow capital from each other.

Competition will be healthy amongst states which can only mean growth of the country.

I am sure there are too many benefits more than what I have listed here.

Can you contribute why you think this will or will not work?

Nigeria needs help fast!!!

Off all countries in the world "america" u obviously dont wish Nigeria well OP..america is worse than Nigeria, just that they do theirs on a low keys level, while we that think we are badass make noise with the little rubbish, while america just sit and watch.

We don't need to borrow from anywhere, let make our Constitution.

America is 241 yrs Nigeria is just 58 yrs and u want us to adopt their constitution/policies?

Nah mehn it wunt work as long as we nigerians dont wanna follow the very ones we have set now
Nigeria of 1975 is more developed than dubai of 1975
But how about now in 2018 compare them and help me asked the gods were did it all go wrong for 9ja?

You don't have the national IQ to make it work.

Start with federalism first.

The question is ambiguous though. Most part of Nigeria Constitution were borrowed from the whites. They call them English received laws. So it's not a question of if we can borrow the laws, but the question should be if we can borrow more? The answer of course is yes. But before borrowing anything, we will first be sure it will fit perfectly into our socio-cultural and Political environment. Some laws are very good, but can't work everywhere.

OP America is too far why not South Africa, some will claim America got independent long time ago what out about South Africa ?
