Nigeria has the potential to become a great country and be a leading light if not a hegemon in Africa. This is because she is heavily endowed with resources. Let’s not forget the human resources she has been blessed with some of whom are excelling outside the shores of her land. Do you now wonder why some have said that the caption regarding Nigeria as an African giant reeks of deceit as Nigeria is more or less a sleeping giant or better still, a giant with clay feet?

From 1914 when Nigeria became a by product of Lord Lugard’s amalgamation it seems she was primed to keep underachieving despite the huge outlay of endowment. Colonialism had her significant interplay and interchange and some have even argued they should have stayed longer but by 1960 the country became a field for us to plough to success and greatness but it seems there were those who wanted to plunder negativity thereon.

I strongly believe that after buhari's tenure and the end of all Military Generals interference since the first coup ends we shall start having creative leaders who are proactive

The only way Nigeria can become proactive is when those saddled with responsibilities are giving capital punishment anytime they are found to have neglected their duties especially when it has to do with the lose of life. Like in the case of the primary school building that collapsed recently in Lagos. After that exercise you will not notice laxity from ministries etc.

The culture in Nigeria is too relaxed. It's not even just the leaders everything is slow and retrogressive.
