Nigeria, Africa’s
largest producer of oil is endowed with enormous natural and human resources of
over 180 million people – sufficient to place it among the first 20 developed
countries of the world. But this is not so. Why?
Obviously, the nation
has not been lucky enough to have dignified cum patriotic leaders who are
committed to the needs of their citizens, besides enriching themselves, to the
fullest, until their cups ‘runneth’ over at the expense of the poor suffering
masses.

This has kept citizens
sweltered because despite the nation’s huge resource endowment, majority of its
citizenry are subjected to abject poverty while unemployment and insecurity are
growing faster than the economy. Currently under the
administration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led President Muhammadu
Buhari, the nation seems to be at its worst in terms of insecurity with the
increasing number of lost of lives in the North East attributable to attacks by
herdsmen and terrorists.
