Nigeria: Towing The Path Of Asian 3rd To 1st World Change by Biggoozz: 12:24pm On Nov 12, 2011
I remember reading Lee Kuan Yew's "From 3rd world to 1st" when about in the 60s his country Singapore with Nigeria and other Asian 3rd world contemporaries like South Korea, Malaysia and China used to attend those UN development support and relief events.

Lee recounted getting locked in a development strategy competition born out of sheer envy with Singapore's neighboring developing world Asian countries most of whom today are either a 1st world or almost one. This attitude saddled with determination to quit being beggars has brought these nations to where they are today.

5 decades later Nigeria is still deriving joy begging for the crudest international support both in finance and governance and still making crude election campaign promises like steady power/water supply and good roads.

Other African prodigal nations like Ghana today have picked the same "We can do better" competitive attitude like these Asian nations and are fast realising all-round growth. Ghana 6 times smaller and less privileged with resources is giving Nigeria a tough one and they so much as sing about it.

NIGERIA! when will we wake up and challenge our self destruct system, even if it requires REVOLTING,

Let's get uneasy, the cloud is gathering and has moved me to write, take your own step born of restlessness, gradually we will arrive the tipping point when A CHANGE CAUSE will happen.

I can't wait,
