Neoteny: ^^^ No Sir. It is fair to compare Nigeria to the UAE. What is unfair is that such comparisons are not made more often. Yes - the UAE's oil revenue per capita is far higher than Nigeria's. But whose fault is that? There was a time Nigeria's oil revenue per capita was also high enough to put it in the league of middle income developing economies. What happened? Nigeria pissed away its opportunities and threw everything away. We can't blame the UAE for that. Yes - government shouldn't be blamed for all Nigeria's problems. It should be blamed for over two thirds of those problems though. Yes - people ruin public infrastructure. But guess what? People respond to incentives. If government severely punishes those who ruin public infrastructure then people will shape up. But if government itself doesn't care about what happens to public infrastructure then people will ruin it. This is just human nature at work. One thing I will admit though is that government is made up of people drawn from the universal population. And these people share the values and orientation of that larger population - however bad those values/orientation may be. But that doesn't mean they (government) will not be held to a higher standard. They will be held to a higher standard because that is the burden of leadership. 1 Like |

VolvoS60: Your points are valid with the exception that the UAE is not the right model for comparison We're not in the same league, one of which is that their monarchist system allows the rulers to practically do as they please Now imagine the nightmare of politics, political, tribal, ethnic, religious, social, and regional opposition. Imagine NASS and the presidency fighting about appropriation and contracts and projects, imagine the acrimony about where high value projects will be sited, and opposition to just about everything. How do you propose that the political class and we the people would be on the same page? Already we can see the endless rancor anytime PMB appoints any notherner to any position, with people shouting about federal character. But when GEJ did same, the same people turned around and said merit trumps federal character. Pastors, imams, academics, politicians, lawyers, parents....all institutions are only concerned about their narrow interests of religion and tribe. So in the midst of this turmoil i wonder how anything of note can ever be achieved. |

Neoteny: ^^^ Not sure I agree with you Sir. Perhaps I should start by asking which countries are the right model for comparison with Nigeria? Which countries are in Nigeria's league? |

VolvoS60: South Africa, for one. Namibia also has better infrastructure, as does Kenya. |

Neoteny: ^^^ Ok. I am not sure why SA, Namibia and Kenya are better models for comparison, though. Our history, politics, demography etc. is quite different. Our colonial experience was also different - SA and Namibia had Dutch and German overlords while Nigeria's oppressors were British. Our economics is also different - Nigeria is the only major oil producer/exporter among all four. Perhaps without meaning to, you may have proved my point. You said up there that Namibia and Kenya (and SA too, no doubt) have better infrastructure. The question then arises: why is Nigeria far behind these countries (its peers according to you) in this area - as in so many other areas? We ran out of excuses a long time ago. There's a fellow on here (Ugosample is his username I think) who keeps on highlighting why Nigeria is in serious trouble. The explosive mix of millions of unemployed/underemployed young men experiencing acute material poverty does NOT a stable country make. The worst thing about it is that there is no end in sight to these problems. Prepare for impact. |

Isorshe: Take corruption out of the equation, and the fact is, our oil revenue is not enough. That's why we need diversificaiton, not just talk about it, diversification. |

NOETHNICITY: Most of them aren't dummies. Most aren't Nigerian, or even black. It's not Nigerians or black people posting this horse manure about filthy, depraved Arab countries full of ugly people and degenerates. Just saying. |
