We had to escape to save our lives and secure our children's future. What we witnessed in that country will take years of counselling to fix.
We still care about the country and want to see it get better.
If you want to see our country get better, and if you are one who puts in effort (which, incidentally could just be reasoning right or bothering to propose a better leader), then I suggest you stop calling yourself a failure before you've begun work.

"Tinubu, El-Rufai, Atiku and other jokers that will keep the country fantastically corrupt" do not think they are failures, and those who do see themselves as failures do no work at all because, what's the point, they failed already.

It's not in soliciting for Elumelu, but the drive and vigor in soliciting for a caliber like Elumelu (technocrates)..

I am Nigerian aswell, we are not failures.. in short, we are the strands that hold up the Nation because the Govt has failed, if Nigerians put as little as 20% hope on Govt, I dont think Nigeria would exist today.. this pandemic is a litmus test to that and confirms it..

The Arabs produce an sell same oil we do, Rwandas growth indices is record breaking and it's not all individual efforts.
Thanks for this. But please be aware that we are a democratic nation and our government did not come from Mars. We, the people, elected our government from amongst ourselves, so we, the people, are responsible for the state our nation is in. And as long as we fail to realise we are responsible for Nigeria, we will be doing not so well. (I say "doing not so well" because many realise this already, but more need to realise it).

Imagine he was putting the blame to the citizens for not having electricity,portable water,sanitation network and hospitals and absolved the government.
The blame is the "citizens"! It is after all the "citizens" who choose the leaders! If we wanted electricity, we would have elected those who would give is electricity, but in your own words:

RuudVanNisteroy:
Nigerians love their fantastically corrupt leaders who use bullion vans to share cash to them and provide stomach infrastructure in the form of rice,eba and egusi.
I thought we were going to discuss how we can get us President Tony Elumelu, whom I pressume will take responsibility for our "electricity, portable water, sanitation network and hospitals" on our behalf, but it seems you and some other "citizens" here have failed already and given up even though its not 2023 yet.

Pity that you would all give up and leave Nigeria to the "Nigerians who love their fantastically corrupt leaders who use bullion vans to share cash to them and provide stomach infrastructure in the form of rice, eba and egusi. I apologise for presuming you were fighters. And I delight that you are a minority. Many Nigerians do not see themselves or their nation as failures.

From your comments, you seem to be one of those average income-earning Nigerians who have never traveled to first world countries to see how things are done.
Could you explain to me why I should bother reading what you just made up in your head and believe? Surely there's no way you can know where I've travelled and how much I earn. If this is indicative of how much research you do before confronting a problem, I would not be surprised if you failed a lot.

Wow.. Nigeria lost at least 2 times the population lost by Rwanda and descended worst than her. You seem to love human blood if you're saying we didn't go down less than Rwanda. How many people do you want dead before enough will be enough? Hypocrites and sycophants are as evil as the main criminals(perpetrators). Let me prove it to you. Rwandans case was swift in damage and quick in rectification. From that year till now, unreasonable killings stopped dramatically paving way for the steady growth and development they're enjoying today. In Nigeria's case, the killings lingered and a fake pronouncement was made. Meanwhile, some people assumed the position of conquerors and continued the killings till date. Majority of conquerors bring no growth or development. They're just their for themselves as the fulanis have shown yet Yorubas will side with them. They've succeeded in destroying Nigeria in all facets and led hitherto progressive people to a standstill. See you promising Nigeria was but today her children have turned refugees all over the world despite the wealth she has. Shame on all those defending the indefensible.
Nigeria fought a war. Rwanda was outright genocide. But that really is beside the point.

Nigeria failing means Nigerians have failed, and the evidence does not suggest that to be the case. Many Nigerians are working really hard to make our nation great. Those who are the failures have just given up. Pity.

Are you not aware that Ruudvanisteroy has proposed President Tony Elumelu? Is President Tony Elumelu APC or is your political bias blinding you to progress?

I am Nigerian, and I am not a failure. I am a work in progress. Join in and build your nation so it does not fail instead of talking as if Martians came ro rule Nigeria and ruin it. We do and did!

As at today, Nigeria has failed, it has failed to protect lives and properties, it has failed to assist in uplifting its citizens, to top it off, this corona thing has exposed the incompetent FG more, our debt are shooting through the roof with no tangible infrastructure to pay off the loans, rather we are borrowing to pay of loans at higher interest rate.

Debt at $26bn
Reserve at $35bn
Budget at $3bn
New loan requisition at $7bn..

And you still dont see that as failed?

Maybe you just saying this because you tend to align with Buhari and anything APC despite stats and indices showing how bad we have dropped from the bad we used to be in.

Now your modus operandi is to push the blame to the citizens who strive every single day to make ends meet without succour or alleviation from the Government. If you say the Govt provides that, this is the best time to prove it..

alas!, they cant, and the people are left to die in hunger and the ravaging pandemic..

A health minister whom does not even know if frontline officers are given hazard allowance claims to have the pandemic on check, and you dont call that "failed"...

Ruudvanisteroy pointed out vividly that Nigeria needs a new team of technocrats to take over the affairs of things, if not for anything, atleast a change from the status quo, but no.... the APC in you dont see things from that light, rather you claim those on that pedestal are lazy... now the Nigerian Airspace is locked, other countries are not willing to help, our debts are swallowing us up... the hardworking Nigerian has no good hospital, the hardworking Nigerian has no electricity, the hard working Nigerian has no drinkable water, the hardworking Nigerian has no food because terrorism has refused farmers to farm.. just maybe all of these are caused by laziness..

I hope when you wake up to this, you would begin to see things from the perspective of the common man whom cant provide some basic amenities that makes his hardwork a lot easier despite paying to the collective Government and not from a myopic fanatic partisan mindset.

How did Kagame rise in Rwanda? Was it through elections? Nothing good can head Nigeria from election.
Same way bubu phase 1 rose, and Abacha, and Babangida, to name just a few.

Were you not born when we were fighting for democracy? Have you forgotten why? Are you not strong enough to make it work? Pity.

You saw what Jerry Rawlings had to do to set Ghana on the right path. There are people making away with bullion vans and you think they will let Nigeria go from theirs grasps without a fight.

Nigeria is a mafia state ruled by an organized crime syndicate,you don't move against the Costra Nostra.
Jerry Rawlings was a man of his times and those times are long gone. Or have you forgotten we fought for democracy? It means, no tyrants like Jerry Rawlings! We would not like bubu to be jailing anyone for 200 years or shooting them with no proper trials like Rawlings did, twice! That's what failing states do.

That bit about mafia, I'll just pass since its not true. We are not sufficiently developed for Costra Nostra, and we all know there's nothing organised about us.

Nigeria has one of the worst human rights record what are you talking about!The police and army meant to protect you openly extort you for money and tag you an armed robber and lock you up when you don't pay them bribes.
Nigeria is even retrogressing. Go and see what Kagame is doing in Rwanda, if we had a leader that was visionary like him we will be making progress.
You can have a leader like Kagame if you work for it. Kagame did not fall on Rwanda from heaven.

In fact, isn't that what your President Tony Elumelu is about? A Kagame for Nigeria? But here you are repeatedly claiming you have failed before you've even begun as if its not us who choose our leaders.

Are you so unwilling to work for your President Tony Elumelu?

RuudVanNisteroy:
Rwanda survived one of the worst genocides in history and look how they are progressing. Kagame is not making excuses. He has set a short-term plans for electrification,portable water access,transportation,healthcare and has been achieving them.
No one will know just 20 years ago over 2 million people died in Rwanda
Nigeria has no excuse to be a failed state.
You know very well that Nigeria, with our numerous tribes and vast population, is nowhere like two tribe Rwanda, and besides, there's no way we would put up with Kagame's human rights violations! Iraq and Libya had similar rulers, and we know how it ended for them despite their "short-term plans for electrification, portable water access, transportation, healthcare".

Perhaps the problem is we did not fail like Rwanda failed, which goes to show there's a lot more failure to go, and I say that despite our own civil war. Rwanda had an outright breakdown in morals so might want to put up with more than we are willing to put up with.

I hope there are not many who have adopted this "failed state" mantra of your's, because it's one thing having to fight those who want Nigeria to fail, but to have to bury the dead weight of those who think we've failed already just makes the task harder.

Nobody listens to David Cameron. He is corrupt himself. And we get our cars from abroad because we have not yet figured out how to make them ourselves. Same with our healthcare. That does not imply we have failed but that we are developing, and should try harder because Nigeria, like Rome, can't be built in a day, and we've only been at it 60 years.

We are the world's poverty capital. One of the few countries in the world that is still surviving despite leaders , looting $600 billion dollars since 1960.
Nigeria has failed in all ramifications in it's responsibility to it's citizens in the provision of water,electricity,sanitation,hospitals and security, just to name a few.
Nigerian youths are risking their lives through the Sahara Dessert and Mediterrean Sea to get to Europe and yet you say the country is not a failed stated.
First, Nigerian youths risking their lives through the Sahara Dessert are stupid. If they were not stupid, they'd find easier, less dangerous ways to achieve their goals. In fact, they are committing suicide! I guess they gave up and failed. Thankfully, they are in the minority. The majority of Nigerian youths are getting an education and learning a trade.

Second, Nigeria is not responsible for you or for providing you with water, electricity, sanitation, hospitals and security. It is we Nigerians, you, I, all of us, who are responsible for providing those things for ourselves since they do not fall down from heaven. When we learn to say, "let there be", those things will surely be.

And finally, despite all the abominable looting of "$600 billion dollars since 1960" and even the worse looting of our human capital, Nigeria, Nigerians, I personally hail us. We must be resilient. And to be honest, we are not the "world's poverty capital". There are many countries poorer than we are.

By the way, we should be talking how to get your President Tony Elumelu but you are failing already! Have you no will to fight for what you want? Be assured that the Tinubus, El-Rufais and Atikus are being much more diligent than this. We should not complain if we are lazy fuqs!

I don't agree Nigeria is "destined to be a failed state" because that would mean Nigerians, you and I, are failures, and that cannot possibly be true.

There are very many Nigerians getting in the way successfully. And besides, Nigeria is not a failed state. We are developing according to our collective abilities. Please just admit if you are not up to the task.

Then exactly one week later, on the 21st of August 2017, we had the great American eclipse
