Nigeria is filled with brilliant people especially from the Southern part of the country. The development of this country lies mostly in their hands. It is just that tribalism and Nepotism has beclouded the minds and reasoning of our leadership team hence one sided appointements all over..., embarassed

Too many names. You sure they're all instrumental to the company? For all I know some may work only as janitors and moderators at best.


By the way, does anybody know proper information how one can become a facebook moderator?

I always thought intelligent brilliant Nigerians are only those outside Nigeria,but recently my notion and perception about this notion has changed since I started interacting and working with some Nigerians living inside Nigeria. The most powerful resources that can change Nigeria isn't the crude oil but the human resources in Nigeria. The amalgamation of all these brilliant intelligent Nigerians and encouraging them with a conducive environment will transport Nigeria into the league of great nations ,but as long as Nigeria keep getting the leadership angle wrong that can't recognize this fact then the nation will keep having problems
