Nigeria is an intriguing
nation.
A 58- year adult nation that is still crawling
like a toddler, while most of its mates are running on sure feet. Many people including political, traditional
and religious leaders have expressed their bewilderment with Nigeria’s
chronic inability to truly rise. Never mind that a tiny minority including some who earn 12 billion Naira as
annual dividend will argue differently that Nigeria is rising.

Many ordinary folks in Nigeria have
raised their hands in desperation as they find themselves daily pushed into
poverty despite their best efforts. This is evidenced by the fact that Nigeria the
seventh most populous nation with a ‘tiny’ population of about 198 million
People has become the global poverty headquarters, beating India (with a
population of over 1.2 billion) according to the Brookings Institution.
