1. Bad and incompetent leadership?

2. Bad structure?

Would men like Chairman Mao or Thomas Sankara have made a difference leading Nigeria?
Would the people have started prospering if this is a minimum of 3 independent countries?

Is the problem mainly leadership or mainly structural?

Catapault:
Historical illiteracy. We don’t know who we are. We have no clue of our history beyond the last 60 to 100 years.

Compare that to the average Chinese or English person that knows their history as a people over the last 1,500 years at least.

China adopted Confucianism as a national ethics code based on the ancient philosophies of Confucius.

The English adopted the Protestant Ethic based on ancient European christian heritage.

Who do we know from our history or care to know, to draw inspiration from?

Nobody.

Even our precolonial technology we ignore. Something that should be the basis for true industrialisation.

We manufactured glass before the whites came. We used to manufacture and export soap to Europe in the 17th and 18th century, to the point that Portugal banned the importation of soap from West Africa in order to boost their local soap manufacturing industry.

We INVENTED iron smelting here in Nigeria.

The oldest iron smelting site on Earth is in Lejja, south east Nigeria, dated to over 25,000 years old.

Google it because I know you DON’T know anything about it.

Benin City was described by Dutch visitors as being among the world’s most beautiful and best planned cities, complete with streetlights and underground drainage, in addition to being crime-free, in the 1600s.

So much rich history, yet the average Nigerian thinks we were primitive savages in the bush who were ‘civilised’ by white people.

When you don’t know who you are, or what your ancestors accomplished, and inherit a colonialist narrative of your ancestors’ insignificance, worshipping foreign gods and adopting foreign systems of doing everything, you will have a fundamental disconnect with your own ancestors and people, with your very own HUMANITY and that of your people, and that fuels alienation and inferiority complex, which fuel corruption and lack of integrity.
