Simple, give Nigeria 24 hour per day electric power and I can guarantee you that the country will take off, like Brazil and China.

No, we are too far behind the US, imo. But I think with electricity, in 100-200 years or so we could have a standard of living comparable to that of the US.

Dont overdo it 100-200 years is just too much. It took China 30 years or so. we'll do it even faster. Anyway, i dont belive in one Nigeria anymore. We should be finding a way to divide peacefully

Yes indeed.  If rats had wings, they would fly like bats, and if I had enough money, I would bone a different super-model every night of the week.

Nice post but look at it this way:
If you move all Americans out of the US overnight and on the same night you move all Nigerians into the US (That means we now have automatic constant electricity and all the social amenities that they are enjoying in the US). Will we be able to maintain and improve the system there.My answer is NO. Methinks we will quickly run down the system withing a few months or years starting from the very first week.In fact things will depreciate to almost the level that we are in right now in Nigeria.Why? We won't be able to decide who rules at the center. There will be too much favoritism in recruiting who runs which agency.The uni admissions will be run on quota rather than merit system.I hope you are getting the picture.

What about d hydra-headed corruption and respect 4 d rule of law wh hv been described as d invisible architect 4 d all round development of any nation.

U cant build something on nothing. If we cant address power n security ourselves then we cant do much as a nation if we are offered both on platter of gold.
