Esseite: Foreign countries do not give out student loans on nothing. If you have a population of 200 million people with maybe 70 million being of school age, please explain how much you intend to give as student loans and from where this money would be derived? Even the so-called developed countries such as the USA experience car theft so don't make it a local experience. In the UK, majority of cars stolen are never recovered, this despite the number of cameras monitoring the community. Until the average Nigerian realises he owes himself and society productivity, most of their dreams would continue to be just that. |

RuudVanNisteroy:No. You don't. You suffer from the village boy syndrome. When you move someone from a ghetto to a metro, they experience such a huge shock that it could damage their psyche. No, you don't. Most of you are too poor to even feed yourself let alone provide your own water and electricity. What you describe will be a libertarian fantasy where everyone provides their own needs without government input. More gibberish. Politicians are a major beneficiary of any form of government. The Nigerian state has spoiled its over 200 million citizens so much that some of you think you deserve to be paid for just being a Nigerian. Nigeria is not a failed state. Don't just throw words around because you see someone else using it. Even if we are to accept the dubious definition of "failed state", Nigeria isn't even close. If you doubt me, try to take over a state or region and see how long you would last. Those countries you admire so much aren't built by entitled, escapist and negative-minded folks. |

rusher14: Most schools are eligible for student loans, most times it's the students that opt out of it. Yes car theft is rampant, and most never recovered, which is as a result of the corruption of other countries, these cars are mostimes are shipped out of the country, most never bother to recover because insurance works very well and these cars are on lease. How has the normal you and me not realized that we owe the society productivity when that is what we do every day to make a living? how has the society assisted our productivity on just regular basics?.. Do you know loosing your business capital is death sentence in Nigeria despite brilliant innovative ideas? |

Xisnin:Nigeria is not only a failed staate, but has no rule of law. The only country where bribes are openly collected by the police,army and customs at gun point and where fantastical corruption is legal. Human rights are openly trampled upon and the President disobeyed court orders to release a citizen, that he had to be reminded by foreign governments to obey his own country's court pronouncements. |

OruExpress: ^^^ It would be good to know the metrics used in arriving at your conclusions about information and access to solutions in Nigeria. I disagree strongly with your conclusion but I'll wait till you explain further. OruExpress: ^^^ It is very clear that the response of the US federal government to Covid-19 has been a complete disaster. That we can agree on. However, the situation in Nigeria is still unfolding and I wouldn't go as far as saying Nigeria has handled the problem better. After all, the same reasons for the abysmal failure of the US federal government in handling the problem are very much present in Nigeria too. There has been very little testing done here in Nigeria - and testing is central to any effective containment policy. There is also a shortage of PPE at hospitals. There are less than a dozen isolation centres for a population of 200 million people. And so on. If we pull through with fewer casualties than expected then it will be for reasons other than adequate preparation on our part - that much is assured. OruExpress:^^^ This is the ugly side of the US that is carefully hidden from view - and pieces like yours are providing a public service by telling it exactly like it is. The good thing is that more Nigerians are slowly getting to know the truth about how that country really works - the so called greatest country in the world that passed universal healthcare legislation (or a caricature of it) only ten years ago. ![]() ![]() OruExpress: ^^^ No sir/madam. One thing I won't do is gloss over the very real problems we face - several of which you listed in your post. These problems do exist. If you live here and pretend they don't - it will cost you. The one thing I agree with you on is that some so called first world countries (notably the US) also have the same laundry list of social and institutional problems that we have. They have simply done a far better job of hiding them - and this is where we have work to do. These problems (whether they be in the US or Nigeria) must be brought out into the open for all to see. Only then can informed choices be made - and only then can the first steps towards solving these problems (in Nigeria at least) be taken. 1 Like |
