There are children old enough to become parents that cry they do not know of a time Nigeria had regular light or water.

Those that left Nigeria to study outside saw regular water and light only to come back home to see portable water and NEPA light out to epileptic supply of both.

Yet, we fool ourselves and blame whatever and whoever.

Fela sang Water from United Nations in a country that is situated by the Ocean.

It will still go to abject poorest.

The issue is that the way Nigeria is managed by one man breeds terrible corruption in a country infested with tribalism. Devolution of power is the only way to manage such a huge country with appropriate checks and balances.

Nigeria should be managed like United States of America, which is a similar big and diverse country that needs proper checks and balances to ensure the resources aren't stolen by a few people. Our forefathers knew this and started a federal system of government. Which was bastardized by the military juntas. Then Buhari regime is also trying to kill the last vestiges of federalism using obnoxious bills to accumulate more powers around one man ~the president.

Unfortunately, those benefiting from the central control of everything want to even control air and water from the center. The result will be insurgency which will gradually build into a major civil war that Nigeria could never survive as one entity. Worse still is that Nigeria does not have the resources to fund a civil war today.

I like to agree with you but giving up hope completely makes one a dead man.

There must be a way to retrace our steps. We are being rejected everywhere, yet some youths lie and reject reality dreaming of dying abroad with a stop over in Libya.

Just listen to foreigners make jokes out of us that even the children of the elites that became Engineers, doctors and lawyer were waiting at the Airport to board Slave planes to go and die in Covid-19 abroad rather than live in Nigeria.

Na dem papa spoil Nigeria O!

This is serious!

When exactly was Nigeria the richest, if I may ask?
