I thought I was the only one that has thought of this, it's actually depressing.
It also beats me we import so much, we import fuel, even as an oil producing country.

Our problem as a nation is we lack wealth creators only looters.imagine Texas has over 20oil refineries all own by the private sector. while Nigeria every thing must be done by Government. even with looted money our people can not create wealth with all this loot.

[b]Actually, it falls back on the government. A lot of countries that strive economically do so because their government backs them to grow.

You can see the recklessness from the recent budget. The government pays politicians huge sum of money, takes care of their housing, pays their electricity bills and still spends 3.6 billion naira on cars for these people.

While brilliant minds in the country are left with nothing. Fashola increased the power bills in the Nation where things get tougher every day.

Imagine if the country invest 10 billion naira in a well supervised and subsidized microfinance scheme.

A lot of smart minds can work to revolutionize the system. Instead we get mediocre plans like five thousand naira a month for people. How can such help with the falling economy.

The smart minds in America thrive because the people understand the impact of good governance. Our people will continue praising looters who spray money on them while the country loses economic strenght.

example.. wats stop our elite class to cooperate and influence their political class who are their friends to give the necessary political and moral support to go into electric power supply .we have the capacity to solve our power crises. but we lack entreprenuers who are the most important factor in production who will mobilieze (including the political
class)and organise other factors of production.
thats why we have iron ore but no functioning steel industry.gas but no power,coal no minning,lands but still import foods, crude oil but we still import fuel.

in US people lobby their government to make right polices not to assist them in looting

Imagine Boeing aircraft company found in 1920 by williams Boeing becoming the world largest aircraft company .something as complex as aircraft but it was started by and individual not the government.
We are mentally lazy.

We are talking of entrepreneurship now. There are young brains, ready to cause a change. Not all of them are myopic and corrupt. We are in a society as you put it that do not support these kind of people.

The leaders push policies that keep these people from growing. So the likes of Zukerbergs and co. will flourish there but our brains will perish. The people here are ready to worship money and not brains.

We are not all mentally lazy. Where will a young kid at Aba with the brains to run an airline career start from.

Our banking system does not support young entrepreneurs. It is difficult to grow here.

Look at Agbalaka's case. Even the former vice President (Atiku) acknowledged that Agbalaka cured some people but did the government and private individuals support him?

Even NAFDAC put a ban on his treatment.

That is how hard it is for those who are ready to use their heads to cause change.

During the Ebola crisis, a young Nigerian pharmacist had drugs he developed to treat diseases that are considered untreatable. He had his drug for Ebola and he contacted WHO for support.

WHO told him they do not support individuals and he should contact his government for support. That was how his effort ended.

My fellow NL, the painful but honest truth is that the situation is going to remain like this. The Nigerian socioeconomic front is going to be like this for years and years and years and.... to come. No one is giving the so called leaders of tomorrow a chance to lead and if the so called leaders of 2morow (the youth) get to such positions only God knows what will become of the country. In fact it's messed up

My brother the government doesn't encourage innovation. You shouldn't be comparing a country with epileptic power supply to a country that was industrialised decades before Nigerian independence. (not an excuse for innovation but back to my first point)

i agree partially but you fail to identify the cause and effect.
as i said before if we have entreprenuers the issue of epileptic power supply will be solved by them.look at wat happened in the telcom sector lead by foriegn private firms .government is made up of people they can be influenced rightly if you have people who share same postive idealogy among the elites, we don't need to innovate any thing just the will power from both sides(government and people) eg imagine in the entire Bayelsa state they have no pure factory or bakery.but how much will it costs looters to do that in that state.
