I would be glad to get the exact answer to my question from any quarters even it seems childish a little bit.I am asking agian,'WHAT IS WRONG WITH NIGERIA?' I look at the way things are going in Nigeria and it's like God has turned his back on Nigeria and that is why it is difficult for people who are imbued with patriotism to get to leadership position in Nigeria.
Just have an insight to what is going on,who are the people at the top?who takes decisions in nigeria?Who are the elite?
Look at them, the mediocres,the selfish people,the pen robbers,the killers,the looters,the betrayers, people in the like of Obasanjo(OBJ),Atiku,IBB,Adedubu of Ibadan,  and lots and lots of other barbarians from the East,west,north and south.  How can Nigeria settle and Develope with these devlish people in power? And they want to turn Nigeria government to family matter.That is why OBJ and Atiku became rivals overnight and acting up. Mr president is kidding, Atiku is swinging, and everybody is messing up.What a shameless people,What a shameless Country?
Corruption is the bane of the society from the common man to the mr president,no one is clean.No good roads,no jobs,no regular power supply,no standard housing policy,no tourist industry,aviation ministry is grounded, all the establishment and ministies in Nigeria is acting up.What a shame.
Are we still The Giant of Africa or the janitor of Africa? People are watching us from around the world and crying for us.Knowing our national financial status(Not individually, ok?) as an oil rich country with vast number of people living in poverty.But we look at ourselves and laugh with jauntiness.We often think we are too much but nothing but an empty barrel.
Mr president was invited to China for ministerial Chino-African conference.Every president and prime ministers from other countries dress in suit and look smart,OBj wore Agbada and hat at a jaunty angle with one shoulder raised and one side folded.Filled with empty pride. The journalist around versely experienced in Nigerian politics and affairs mocked him.
Kudos were giving to leaders from other african countries like Kenya,Gambia,Ethiopia,South Africa,Angola and lots more.Why Nigeria is being regarded as the most corrupt country in the world.
My question is,Why can't people imbued with patriotism get to that position? And why they don't last long even if they get there?Why are the wicked people emmerging the winners in Nigeria elections?why are Nigerians so selfish? why can't our leaders build our nation to a greater height as it is done in other countries frequently visited by them?why why why?
What is wrong with Nigeria?Why are we so shameless that we even gave somebody like babangida a consideration to contest in party candidature election despite the evil he parpetrated during his regime.Why are we so shortsighted and cheap?
It is obvious that God can't stand our corruption any more and he has turned His back on us.That is why people who are mentally derail are taking helm of affairs in Nigeria.They don't know what they are doing.Even our ambassadors and embassy everywhere, they don't know what they are doing.
