toriade: [size=24pt]YOU and ME[/size] Good point. It's the people that make up Nigeria that is Nigeria's problem. All the so called political & religious leaders are human beings too and started out as people just like us. We need to work on ourselves, quit the blames and name calling. We need to be told the truth and work towards developing the country. All the complaints & blame hasn't improved Nigeria. I was born into these complaints & blames...20 something years after my birth, Nigerians are still complaining. No significant change, even if there was/is, its not consistent or maintained We need to ACT, MAKE A CHANGE & QUIT SULKING |

People's mentality that power must be in one section of the country before development can be seen in such area or nation-wide. Simply put the indigene issue in this country is the root cause of all our issues. You must be an indigene in order to enjoy some form of privileged etc. Until we're purged of such requirements and are willing to embrace its non-use we will remain stagnant. The success story of the United States today is as a result of her openness to welcome people of diverse nationality. 1 Like |

dangerzone: the problem is mystery,the more you think about it the more you confuse yourself of what the problem isThe first solution to any problem is to identify the problem itself. If we cant identify the problem, then it will only get worse. |

1. Nigerians dont know who they are. We really do not have goals as a nation. I'm yet to really understand what connects me to the Notherner or Easterner or even southener. We are still united only along lines of language, which isnt good, and can only be changed by 2. LEADERSHIP. They(leaders) are the only ones that can set examples impacting widely, and simultaeneously. Leaders must realize that they r the only ones that can change dis nation. |

nigeria's problem is ethnicity. This is because our ethnicity has different morals and therefore does not respect each other's intentions. The presidential is where we all target. Can't u see? An Ibo man will not want to see a Hausa man become president. Let us practice confederalism where we do not target any presidential. |

Nigeria's problem is all engulfed in the mindset we have about ourselves. The other world are ahead of us because they learnt to cherish what comes out of their homeland. corruption has eaten deep because of the mindset that government money is meant to be embezzled. For this country to change, the mindset of every individual must be changed. Atleast people should have respect for laws and rules governing us as a country other than the feeling of being above the law. The bad mindset has also triggered the mentality that embezzling is also a turn by turn thing ( chop I chop) and also a do or die affair which is too bad! Because of the bad mindset we have, the issue of ethnicity, religion comes to play a very strong role in the way we detect leadership in this country and brings about erroneous stereotypical thinking among the masses. if only we can take advantage of the diversity in ethnicity of this country, we will be building a strong fold of a giant black nation an also an eternal fortress of peace and unity for the unborn generation |

Nigeria's problem is STRUCTURAL. The current structure does not encourage wealth creation. We are not CREATING WEALTH, rather we'r SHARING oil wealth. Our current structure has been approprately termed FEEDING BOTTLE FEDERALISM. Coming to Abuja every month to share oil money is SENSELESS. Rather than run a system that will encourage the 160million Nigerians to create wealth for themselves and by extension the country, we run a system that tries to feed the 160million Nigerians from one pot at the centre. Just to illustrate, if everyone of us(160million in total) cooks his own food and bring to Abuja, we'll definitely have SURPLUS in Abuja and then prosperity. But when Abuja tries to cook for 160million Nigerians, it will be insufficient and poverty and hunger will multiply in geometric progression. Some Nigerians think the country is rich because of oil money. This is a big lie. Just to illustrate, the amount used to construct one SINGLE road in a state in US, is about the total budget for the federal ministry of works in Nigeria. Nigeria needs complete re-structuring. Let the states control and harness their resources and pay taxes to the centre. If we do that, every state will be FORCED to create wealth. Until we do that, we'll continue to progress in snail-like pace or worse remain stunted. But will the north agree? 1 Like |

lorddannie: nigeria is just a composite of incompatible parts, until these parts go their separate ways there will always be problems. I mean unending problems We dont have to split, I dont support that, but we definitely have to go back and revisit our founding documents and adhere to it strictly. |

templeinyou: In all u mentioned i think is amalgamation. who told you we are incompatible? We are all ONE my brother. Sardauna and Ooni of ife were friends na. Hausa and yoruba fought biafra war on the same side. Igbo, yoruba and hausa public office holders collaborate together everyday to loot this country dry. Are you yoruba? Are you single? Ok, i have one sweet lovely well mannered well educated fulani babe with well educated and wonderful parents too. Are you interested? If you are not, i assure you some yoruba guys will. intermarriage is common amongst most tribes in Nigeria. dont be deceived by those on NL constantly shouting "Igbo, oju-iku, Yoruba, yorrober, bokoharam" e.t.c. Some of them are married to, or have siblings who are married to those tribes they constantly bash here. See, what matters is JUSTICE and FAIRNESS to ALL, irrespective of religion and tribe. Incidentally, both Islam and Christianity preach these, but most of us are too busy worshipping our Pastors and Sheikhs to bother about obeying these simple commandments. 1 Like |

Our single problem is the common black man's problem;we didn't go through the normal phases of development which involves acquiring knowledge and turning it to a useful source of wealth.All most know is that oil is money;a fact that still overwhelms and intoxicates most of us!That's why we are stuck where we are.This is partly due to are disrupted history by the whites that enslaved us.........Just my take on this. 1 Like |

COWARDICE!!! Most developed countries forced their inept leaders to do the right thing but in Nigeria, statement such as 'God dey', 'God go catch am', 'the law of karma shall catch up with them', ' it is God that gives power', forgetting to state also that it is God that gives the thieves money therefore we should celebrate them, All these and many more is what our leaders have studied and now leading us with impunity. A U.S. president once said that four of the things that happen in Nigeria without problem, one of it will have thrown their country into crises.If Amalgamation is our problem, shall we blame it on corrupt governors who are indigene of the same state they milk dry and refuse to develop? 1 Like |
