WHY NIGERIA MAY NEVER BE GOOD

Nigeria: A West African country that is rewarded with different species of people whose main aim is to consume rather than produce, not to protect but to be protected, not to give but to collect, to earn so easily rather than to earn by hardworking.

A country that inherited its current position many decades ago as a result of some uncivilized activities that happened then, the acts that led to the assassination of some of its prominent leaders, in fact the leaders that surrendered their lives just to have our fatherland freed. But worrisome enough they ended up murdered. People like premier of the Northern Region and Sardauna of Sokoto Sir, Ahmadu Bello, Premier of Southern Region Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola, Prime Minister Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Brig-Gen Samuel Ademulegun and his wife as well as Brig-Gen Zakariya Maimalari and the rest where all killed innocently and these assassinations are what led to the Nigerian Civil war which cost thousands of innocents' lives. Then how do we expect good despite all those stumbles?

Nigeria is a country that when ever you dare to be good then you are the most hated person. Those that are supposed to be sentenced for their entire lives are now the ones that enjoy a very expensive life in Nigeria.

Nigeria faces idiotic, merciless, terroristic problems that always consume innocent lives and vandalize our national cakes. Which as far as these otiose acts happen, there will never be change in Nigeria. This can be proven if we consider with a famous philosopher's utterance (Plato), who said, "like man, like state". Meaning whatever the people of a country do, that thing must affect their country.

Nigerian politics is something that whenever I deeply think about I end up in laughter. People do vote for the people whom they believe will protect their interests, but irksome enough as soon as those hypocrite leaders are voted into offices they forget the entire people that stood as their ladder during election. Their concern afterwards is the problem of their family. The annoying angle is that, you will never see them again until another storm of new election rose. It's then that they will come with their blue packages with the intention to give out to their hungry ladders and as soon as the people got it you will hear them saying "Ai mai baka shine naka" ( The one that gives you is your beloved).

Nigeria is excellently good in wasting intellects, Nigeria has tones of genius in technological field but we don't know how to maintain them, that is why most of them travel to overseas to enrich themselves.

With all the above misdemeanors, how do we expect Nigeria to be good? How do we think Nigeria will be among the world top developed nations?
