Our leaders have visited every progressive country on earth, yet after decades of Phds and MBAs, these people go back home to only love their own group. They have forgotten their "racist" experiences in the countries visited. Inaction and ineptitude coupled with the sickness of Tribalism have meant zero progress. Special prayers have become their mantra, they have forgotten, "love all and serve all". How do you aim to reverse that? Mr President, Governor, ....
Are we blind, or just incurious about important news?

Wow, really hits home!
Couldnt have put this any better. Nice post
Dear Mona & Aba Boy, here is a letter to the EU president. No, thank you to me, just act if you could. Thanks to you.
Dear EU President
“Nigeria is a country that does not work, Schools, universities, roads, hospitals, water, the economy, security, life.” World-famous Nigerian author Chinua Achebe
Our country has become a lawless fiefdom, our leaders have visited every progressive country on earth, yet after decades of PhDs and Mba, these people go back home to only love their own group. They have forgotten their "racist" experiences in the countries visited. Inaction and ineptitude coupled with the sickness of Tribalism have meant zero progress. Special prayers have become their mantra; they have forgotten to serve all.
Unless you are ferrying $1M in cash (Plateau State governor Joshua Dariye and former Governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha of Bayelsa state) there is no real need for any public official in Nigeria to travel abroad. Why celebrate mediocre? For health reasons, build a better hospital!
A solution to our problems would be for the EU and its states to cancel visas to all Nigerian public officials for 24months until they have shown measurable benefits to their citizens in terms of basic infrastructures like schools, universities, roads, basic medical care, water, public transport, security, and life and power generation.
The EU needs trading partners in Africa where generic "people projects" are delivered and applied to the whole continent. It will not take a rocket scientist to calculate the benefits. Inaction will only maintain the status quo where illegal people trafficking and illegal drugs smuggling into the EU continue.
Act now in order to help our people help themselves.
Yours faithfully
Beauty
Nigerian.

keep on teachin' what's up!
'as long as the youth of the world is taught what to think instead of how to think, liberation from ignorance -- the problem fo the era -- will not be achieved.' manly p. hall
stop worrying about the politicians ... take the message to the streets and to the children ... teach them 'how' ... the politicians only worry about the 'what' ...
peace & harmony,
elaine
'freedom must be exercised to stay in shape!'
This is for bob & bono & angie and the rest of the "me too crowd". Helping Africa via aid has not worked. Aid will not help. Action now may. African politicians are idiots and need education. They have spent $75,000 on Mercedes-benz cars and zero on education. These are the same people that jet about in 1st class opulence with the bobs, bonos & angies while our children learn to make Molotov cocktails on the streets. They can be stopped and made to focus on their jobs back home.
