Nigeria is still a great country that is blessed so much. Even the angels in heaven envies us. From the calibreof great people she has produced, to the massive minerals deposited herein, no doubt she is indeed a country to be proud of. Hardly can you see any state in Nigeria today that is not blessed with one or two minerals deposit. Crude oil, bitumen, gold, iron ore, lime stone, coal, to mention a few.
How have the mighty fallen ?
Why are we here?
What is the way out?

If we can answer this questions rightly, im sure Nigeria shall rise again in little or no time.
Sure, im a small boy and can boast of no experience. Be that as it may, i can also say i am very confident this and only single approach toalove Nigeria's problem ( for start ), and i know every Nigerian (well meaning) shall smile again.

This once great nation fell a little because we forgot our root over time. The proverb which says ' the river that forgot its origin shall dry up in no time.
Nigeria forgot agriculture- we ventured into rude oil like it was...... Well, im unhappy to tell you that that was our undoing and why we are where we are today.
Why we are still in our present position is because we are using a wrong prescription to to solve an ailment.
Today, Nigeria can boast of 30 mil youths unemploymemt.why? When we have the capability to feed more than half of Africa.
From failed immigration
to the massive police recruitment to efcc recruitment, and now N.power. Well i won't say these these programmes and approach aint good but they are not good enough.
What is the way out?
The only way out is to go backto what we left. I.e Agriculture.
The world needs food, no doubt about that.
We need to approach agriculture again, but now not not only in substantial quantity, but in commercial quantity.
The first we all need is food even as a family, all other things follow. Food even before security.
We have a massive uncultivated,virgin and fertile lands across the whole of Nigeria ( visit ogun and Benue state)
Yes, some won't like this approach especially youths.
Let the government acquire massive farmlands, build massive poultries, and many others.
Let youths apply for jobs (casual though) put them on these farmlands to till, plant, harvest and raise livestocks with the supervision of experts.
Let the newly organised peace corps handle the security sections so as to guard against theft of government properties. At the end, pay people based on hours/day/ or per week basis. Now i see people frowning at that ( Nigerians with GRQS.. Get rich quick syndrome)
This approach is viable, that im very hopeful, and in no time elimate unemployment, stravation, food scarcity. All these will be a thing of the past. After youths and able hands have something to do, yes we can move to other things.
