SimonAndal: NIGERIA: ST.U.PID PEOPLE, DUMB NATION, BANANA REPUBLIC!
there is something the critics don't understand about nigeria and that is the country is booming with greatness. Their are a few suppressing this greatness with their greed and inhumanity but as they say destiny can be delayed but not denied!! This country is destined to be great!! Despite all the problems, the average nigerian does not sit and wait for the government for everything. We still survive "MAN MUST WACK"!! No matter the chanllenges, somehow we still make. Despite allthe corruption, some of the most brightest and geniunly richest africans are nigerians, despite all the bombings our economy is number 2 in africa, despite our frail educational system we have produced nobel laurets, mathematicians and world famous educationsit. And people sit back in the world and say how does this shambolic country still survive? I teel you, greatness is in this country but our leaders and we the people have created the sheild aginst it. The sooner we bring down this human sheild the greater we will become. GOD BLESS MY COUNTRY NIGERIA!!

We should all share this with friends and even foes until it gets to every Nigerian. The solution to this corruption problem is, holding our leaders accountable for every undoing of theirs and clamouring boldly for our rights! These leaders think an average Nigerian is a toothless dog....hence their persistent wickedness.

After watching this what den happens. NOTHING, the Nigerian race have suffered for so long that they use to suffering, any attempt to help stop the suffering is jt a fail attempt cos they really don't want it. The Nigerian race are very weak people, they worship men like them cos they hav money, Ѿε̲̣̣̣̥ hav seen so many documentaries, movies and articles on the poverty n corruption of Nigeria yet everyday it get worst. During the fuel subsidy protest Nigerians disappointed Nigerians, that was the time to say enough is enough but as usual corruption won. But I believe this country will change cos as they say its will get worst b4 it gets better, let's just hope Ѿε̲̣̣̣̥ don't hav to destroy the country b4 it does. I won't be surprised if nuffin happens in 2015. Nigerians claim they are smarter but yet u are ruled by the most illiterate of them all. I can you help a country be better when its citizens don't want it to. The leaders are Nigerians, so? God will not save us neither would the western world that's a fact. I bet both heaven n hell has abandoned us to our faiths. Nigerians are no more humans anymore.

Any one who thinks corruption and poverty in Nigeria can be solved by changing a governor or president is SOPHISTICATEDLY IGNORANT.

You cannot solve a problem until you identify the ROOT cause of the problem. The root cause of poverty and corruption in Nig is not GEJ or Fashola. Rather it is the STRUCTURE of govt we run.

The FACT is that Abuja can NEVER feed and cater for 160million people. But 160million people can over-feed and cater for Abuja.

For instance, a father with 100 children will find it difficult to SOLELY cater for all the children and wives. But if some or all of the 100 children, the wives contribute to feeding of the family and growth of the family, added to what the father gets, there will be SURPLUS for the family.

The current situation where ALL national resources is harnessed at Abuja and then distributed to the 36 states and FCT, for further distribution to 160million people will CERTAINLY bred corruption and POVERTY. But if the current structure is reversed so that resources are harnessed by the states (from the people in every state), there will SURPLUS for the people, the state and to cater for the centre. And under such structure, since the money available to every state governor will depend on the creativity, hardwork, literacy rate, enterprise,etc of its people, the governor will do every thing possible to create the right atmosphere for such to thrive and empower its people. As the people are being empowered, poverty is being eradicated.

Furthermore, because most of the money spent by both public and private officials come from hardwork and people's sweat, corruption will reduce.

Just an example, since the crisis in Borno and Yobe states started, the state govt has witnessed little or no reduction in monthly revenue because it receives its funds DIRECTLY from federation account shared in Abuja. In such situations, there's complete disconnent between the people in those states and the govt. There's also no incentive to end the crisis as those in govt have regular flow of funds from Abuja. But if it were the other way round, ie those governors get their sustenance directly from economic activities of residents of Borno or Yobe, by now the politicians would have been depending on aides from UN and felt the direct heat of the crisis. If they feel direct heat of the crisis, they would have done everything possible to end the crisis. In any case, such crisis would not have arisen if the govt was getting its sustenance directly from residents because it would have been nipped in the bud as early as possible.

In summary, corruption and poverty in Nigeria is not caused by GEJ or PDP. We should note that some states in the north have been under the control of ANPP, not PDP, since 1999. The root cause of corruption and poverty in Nigeria is the structure of political system we run. Unfortunately, that structure can NEVER be corrected until oil dries up because the north will fiercely resist any such attempt

Re: Documentary On Poverty And Corruption In Nigeria by cap28: 3:40pm On Apr 14, 2013
The biggest problem for nigerians is poor education - poor education means that you will never undestand why nigeria is in the state its in - it also makes you focus on the symptoms of nigeria's problems rather than the cause.

Nigeria is still under the control of a puppet govt who were installed there by europe and america - until you dismantle this foundation you will continue to go round and round in circles.

Nigeria's problems really began in the 1980s with the installation of Babangida and Obasanjo and recently Badluck Jonathan who are puppets of western imperialism, until you remove these enemies of nigeria's progress nothing will move forward in nigeria, but it is easier said than done - look at what happened to Libya when Qadaffi refused to open Libya up for the multinational oil corporartions and the Zionist controlled banking cartels, look at what happened to Saddam when he refused to continue to sell his oil in US dollars, look at what is happening to syria and iran who continue to serve the interests of their own citizens rather than the interests of the EU/united states.

sadly many nigerians do not have any clue about any of this and continue to think that the root cause of their problems is their leadership rather than the western powers who control all of the world's most valuable resources.

"Typical Nigerian mentality "only God will help us" "only God can touch our leaders so they realize what they're doing". If there is a God he's forgotten about Africa a long time ago. God cannot do anything for you, stop wasting your time and resources praying to a deity that cannot answer or help you.

It is not worth it doing your best to help them.
Lest we forget, majority of the greediest and most corrupt people in government came from poor families. I have a theory that their fears of insecurity and poverty are responsible for their abnormal greed that makes them corrupt.[/size]


MMMM... I disagree.... It's not just poor people, it every class, including the rich. By your analogy, Bukola Saraki isn't corrupt because he was born to a rich Olusola Saraki?

Igbinedion Lucky should not be corrupt because he was born to Gabriel Igbinedion?
