D opposition has refused to come together
Tinubu will find his way to aso rock

There is evidence of Western influenced coups in Africa.
It's common knowledge that the West topple govts that do not serve thier interest.
Education and exposure will change your perspective.

I guarantee am more exposed and educated than you. I just like to take responsibility for my actions
I recommend you do the same. It might help you a bit and if you a leader it might help your community as well

Laughing in Gaddafi
Gaddafi refused to be subservient to the West.
Libya was the most prosperous and developed country in Africa until the West invaded under bogus pretexts.
Libya has been reduced to a failed state.
The West influenced the politics of Africa. They continue to do so directly/indirectly.
Pre independence, the West governed Nigeria through a system called indirect rule(a feudal system of govt where the Westerners governed us through our Obas, Igwes and Sultans), post independence, not much has changed.
We're still under indirect rule.
The illusion of 'independence' is a common distraction and deflective tactic to divert attention and responsibility away from the overlords(colonizers).

Ok. If it helps you sleep better at night
Its all the fault of the west. They even helped abacha steal money
They also embezzled money for local govt and state governors to build infrastructure
Keep believing your illusions

Grow up please, there is no where where I said that corruption and embezzlement is ok.

The problem with relying on oil, is that oil prices fluctuate. From 1982-2006, oil prices internationally were low. For Nigeria that meant decades of brokeness...until 2006 when prices rose to a level where we could pay off our debts to some ectent..till April 2014...when oil fell again till December this year.

And when prices are too low...loans have to be taken.

So, either you keep on relying on resources, and suffering when their prices are low....or you develop your own industries to export usable goods for the world, and earn far more money than just selling oyel.

Hope you get it. And once you are running an industrial economy, nothing much for corruption. Because corruption hinders such an economy from working. That is why industrial countries have low corruption. compared to Naija.

Did you fritter away your windfall when you had it?
Yes or no
Thats the base of the issue

as a country you build from bottom up
When first world countries are talking. Nigerians will jump in with their unsolicited advice but they dont have power, running water, broken roads etc
That's my position. Eveything else can come later

TriitNG:
Thier leaders refused to be subservient to the West, hence the rapid development.

Quit with the blame game
Nobody put a gun to African leaders head

Did Sani abacha who was acting like a strong man against the west not steal money and hide in the same west
Stop looking for excuses
Nobody is stopping african leaders from building durable roads, hospitals, universities etc

Kasssandra:
You don't build a country with oil windfall. The problem with oil windfalls is that they are used to import and import, and the government stops supporting manufacturing at home.

That's why Gahddafi lost against the West. He had an oil windfall...and used it to import weapons from his enemies...instead of building a domestic Libyan industry. Same for Saudi Arabia.

What we should have done would have been to use the oil windfall to build up our power, transport, and petroluem sector...while refusing to spend money on subsidsing anything....this would have made domestic manufacutring and industry cheaper, and generated more jobs, and made us a producer, not a consumer.

Forget oil windfall...it works for oil producers who have populations lower than 40-50 million people. It does not work for too large countries like Nigeria...we need a diversified economy.

Ok sir
You embezzle oil windfall i imagine
Like a typical small mind high on theory and low on commonsense
I am talking about how your leaders embezzled monies realized from oil sale that would have gone into critical infrastructure like durable roads , hospitals (we are agreed on that)
the rest you are giving me(libya) is long unrelated example

where is righteousness 2 to come and explain how this is not endtimes

China started rebuilding their country in the late 70s. And within a span of 35 yrs have risen so fast
Dubai in the 80s

Nigeria has had several oil windfalls from the 70s to the 90s we have wasted it
Today we either blame America or we blame Jews conspiracy
I pity for blackman and his lack of sense

Those quoting me and saying nonsense god punisj you
Did america stop you from building hospitals and roads in your community
Or did Jewish conspiracy that does not even exist blow up the fake transformers you keep importing

Africa has been cursed with bad leadership nothing more nothing less
If you like keep blaming slavery and colonization na you sabi

Give it a few days to be sure
CAN has a big job on their hands
