I have always thought that
Nigerian leaders were greedy and
selfish. Despite all the intelligent
citizens as well as highly qualified
experts that have traveled the
world at their disposal, Nigeria
still fails to provide adequate
electric and
water supply for its citizens.
Despite the billions of dollars in
oil revenue to create jobs,
businesses, and manufacturing
industries, many Nigerians are
still living below global poverty
level.
One of my analysis is that many
of these Nigerian mediocre
leaders travel abroad on a regular
basis, have children
schooling in first world nations,
and many even have properties
in these nations, but they never
try to replicate the progress
these western nation have
made in Nigeria. They see the
constant electricity that drives
businesses, they see the good
roads that encourage mobility
as well as distribution of goods
and services, they see the quality
of schools and universities that
enhances good
education, and they also see
computerized banking as well as
information sharing and storage
to increase the speed of
excellent customer service. Yet,
after enjoying the comfort of
the civilized world, they gladly
and joyfully return to Nigeria
without the intention of making
things better for the rest of the
masses.
