In Nigeria, There are thousands of people occupying positions not based on merit.
Majority of this people are not qualified for the office they occupy. I call them "incompetent persons in important positions (IPIP)". For any nation that seeks growth and development, IPIP is not a blessing it is a curse.
When the incompetent sits at the top, it trickles down to the bottom.
The difference between Nigeria and the western world as well as the arabs is the fact that we fail to understand that when the best minds occupy the rightful positions, this is a recipe for progress. We have Nigerians who are Vice Chancellor's in UK and US universities, but the role of VC in present day Nigeria is based on tribe and politics. In Nigeria religion, tribe and politics is brought into everything including education, and this put IPIP into power. Some states would employ incompetent teachers to teach in primary schools because they are indigenes of the state or for their religious background, not knowing that what this does is destroy the future of their children.
Nigeria has failed to develop and move forward and this is a major reason.
Nigeria is not working, and this is obvious. If our mindset as a country is not changed, the Nigeria we would all never see the great Nigeria we dream. The Igbo's are aware that the current setup is a setup of continuous failure, and this is why they grunt their displeasure at every opportunity.
We cannot continue with having INCOMPETENT PERSON IN IMPORTANT POSITIONS (IPIP) and expect to grow as a nation.

Please mention any IPIP you know in the comment section

Shocking truth

Finance minister Adeosun is an IPIP

Agricultural Minister Audu is an IPIP

Fashola minister of Power is an IPIP

They are many in the system. Even in private organisation that should be result oriented.

Kogi state governor is IPIP

So much truth in this.

Buhari is an IPIP

I think you'll find it's quicker to list those who aren't IPIPs in this present gov'ts appointments (it's not just the ministerial appointments) than those who are!

Lol cant help but agree with you. That would be the easier approach
