Why Nigeria Is In Debt

I must begin with a confession that I am not an economist! My dabbling into a topic with its moorings in economics is the consequence of provocation by those who rule, run and ruin Nigeria. The ruling class too of­ten feels that the rest of us do not think and are therefore bound to swallow opinions hook line and sinker without asking questions.


*Buhari and Ahmad

This tendency to undermine the people is also traceable to our docility and inability to follow through clamours for account­ability and good governance. We occasionally raise alarm and frown at some of government’s inanities, but we give up too soon and move on and those who creat­ed such discomfitures laugh and mock the brevity of our critical response and also move on to per­petuate more devious schemes that hold us down. Economics and politics are no rocket scienc­es.
