I checked my calendar and used a calculator to check the years between today and 1970 when the civil war ended in Nigeria. That is 39 years and not 29 as mentioned in the article. Countries like Rwanda, Ghana, Sudan even with its imperfections are striving so hard to move forward while our own leaders are striving even harder to take us back into the stone age.
Nothing is going to change significantly in terms of quality leadership, improved infrastructure etc with the present generation of leaders. The Rawlins 'shock treatment' will be required to sanitize the system and send a message across to the vultures that it is not business as usual again in Nigeria. Our country is being handed over to Chinese peasants, Indian labourers and plumbers and Lebanese Ice cream vendors while our leaders are fiddling and congratulating themselves on their non-existent achievements. Go to Ogun state and see 'achievements' of our 'Dear Leader' on huge billboards bearing his pictures.
In Sudan and after 23 years of war, Khartoum is also very clean, organized, very safe and electricity and water are taken for granted. Wither Nigeria?
