Nigerian Independence, Evolution Or Revolution ? by switch47(m): 3:37am On Oct 01, 2011
According to Robert MC Namara, a former United States Secretary of Defence " Any Society that seek to achieve adequate military security against the backdrop of acute food shortages, population explosion ,low level of productivity and per capital income,low technological development,inadequate and insufficient public utilities and chronic problem of unemployment has a false sense of security"
Nigeria has not been able to surmount any of these challenges , there are too many "little" things wrong with Nigeria cumulating and snowballing into a very big problem. Nigerians are already used to most of the so called smaller problems , it is now taken as normal not to always expect constant electricity supply, it is now seen as normal for the police to extort money from motorists at gun point , brutalize and kill citizens extra judicially , corruption is seen as a norm and most people are only waiting for their turn to get there and loot the national treasure , are we all mentally corrupt? we are satisfied with mediocrity , we have simply lost it !!



Opinion
Yes Nigerians can be said to be mentally corrupt at the moment, For example Governor Fashola is only a good governor by Nigerian standard but most Nigerians will never see beyond their nose in that perspective, not in a country where we praise (NEPA) PHCN when they give us "uninterrupted" power supply for 6 hours you here words like " oh!! at least they have tried today o "!! Perspective we need some kind of revolution, regional maybe!!
