We need to develop ourselves mentally first before attempting to the develop Nigeria.

It's very challenging to develop Nigeria because people like yourself and myself are not doing anything, but complain and use corrupt leaders as an excuse.

It takes the entire village to raise a bright kid; I think it also takes everyone of us to see a well developed Nigeria.

Many of us are too busy and too focus on only making money in Nigeria; none of us is willing to volunteer to contribute anything toward developing this country.

May be this is the right moment for each and everyone of us to pause and ask ourselves this question:
I'm now 25 yrs old or 30 yrs old or 40 yrs old or 50 yrs old, through out my life as a Nigerian, what have I ever done for this country?
If you can not come up with at least 2 things, you're part of the problem.

You need not to steal money from Nigeria to be corrupt.

Afam:
We do not have sincere leaders and those being led are not helping matters by focusing too much on white collar jobs with no reasonable production of anything in Nigeria.

Nigeria cannot develop with its population if it remains an import destination. Today, companies from different parts of the world are doing their best to sell what they produce in Nigeria while our own people refuse to see the inherent danger in this trend.

@ Depilot: You are wrong. How do you contribute when you are deliberately ignored? Do you know that It is a Nigerian that is building the Iraqi Mono-rail system? He begged to do it for Nigeria but he was blatantly ignored! He wanted to do it because he felt patriotic. What is happening to the brothers that built the armoured cars in Nigeria? They are no where to be found. sometimes to contribute, one need to be heard. If it is about sweeping the streets and planting flowers, those cannot stimulate development. I am an international entrepreneur. Do you know how many Jobs I would have created if I had gotten a little entrepreneurial surpport from the government? How can I open a factory, and run it without basic infrastructures, thereby making my products more expensive than imported products? It will be a big loss! But if the government had given some policy and financial (Loan) surpport to protect domestic companies, I would have been encouraged to do that. Rather, they prefer to give everything to all the Dangotes and Otedolas of this world. A mini factory employs more than 100 workers. If such factories are more than 300 in each state, how many employed Nigerians will you have? It is as simple as A, B, C.
I am not blaming currupt leaders, I am praying for God to serve them his appriopriate Judgment (Jeremiah 23: 1-2)

@Kobojunkie: I think you made alot of sense. They are just satisfied with the way Nigeria is.

Do you think the Izon, Edo, Urhobo, Tiv, Isoko, Esan etc

OBJ could have produced Donald Duke as the PDP candidate and the North would have had no choice but to go along !!!

It is surely ok to multitask but certainly not ok to propagate multiple ideologies. You are either a Nationalist or a Regionalist.

becomrich,:
nigerian are scared of the north, because the north have been abusive to them. And that is the reason. it sometime takes time to over come abuse.

Rather than focus on the break up of the nation, let us focus on decentralisation and devolution of power and the attendant benefits of such an arrangement

If we continue to allow our sensitive feelings to control our views on things in Nigeria, this great nation will never move forward.

Nobody is above the law, Ribadu and El-rufai should return home as soon as possible to defend themselves.

Running or hidding doesn't speak well of these 2 individuals and definitely sends wrong message to the youngstars (the future of this country).
Akingbola, one of the CEO of the troubled bank has already followed the same step. And I'm sure that many are also waiting to do the same as soon as their illegal actions are challenged. How long are we willing to stand and allow our country to continue to crumble?

If you love this country, you will encourage Ribadu and El-rufair to return right away, present their cases and make their enemies look foolish.

As a great citizen, it is simply the right thing to do.

kuramo:
Why would any sane person bother responding to this sick, ill-educated, obviously unintelligent government proxy parading as Depilot = paroh_frey = walakobolo = tosh acer.

The Justice System where you want this men to come and defend themselves is one in which Bafarawa was innocent untill he started to openly criticise the Government and became a key player in the formation of NDM.

Bafarawa left office 2 years ago. why was he not corrupt all this while? He had no immunity, the only immunity is to keep quiet at the lack of leadership in Nigeria. The moment he began anti-Government political activities he became corrupt.
