I can mention victoria island in terms of wealth, does that mean all of Nigeria is as rich as Victoria Island? Of course no! But that's the same kind of analogy you making regarding Kibera. That analogy holds no weight. By the way, I wouldn't say she's clueless because the numbers she brought up are provided by reputable institutions such as African development bank; IMF; UNFPA...

    The problem is that relevant authorities are not serious about fighting tax evasion, oil theft and misappropriation of funds in the sector because those who should police the sector's activities are also involve in one of these malpractice or the other.

    I work in Nigeria and i have a few things to say.
    1. Nigeria is a very beautiful place but the politicians and the very people of Nigeria do not care about it the least. All they want is easy money and nothing else. From the moment you enter Nigeria you see complete strangers asking you for money or other things. They don't have a sense of pride or anything. Just get some money for the day and that's it. Nigeria is so rich in oil, gas, agriculture, minerals. They could be the richest country in the world in no time even today. But the govt doesn't care nor do the people. They are just use to live life like this. I am not saying the people are bad, they are really nice and fun loving people but they aren't serious enough.
    2. They need a good leader who can guide them to their fullest potential but everyone is just looking to satisfy their own needs thats all. If they change their selfish attitude and work for their country Nigeria can rule over the world in no time.

Starting from elections, all Nigerians must strive to make sure that the right person/persons only gets to the sit of leadership and following that every Nigerian need to strive to keep the laws of the land. Things as little as traffic rules, being kind to neighbors and so on all play a role. It's a joint effort and together we can make Nigeria great again.

    Up David Umahi the governor of Ebonyi State.
    If Nigerian leaders and politicians can think like this man, surely, Nigeria will be a better place. He has changed the face of Ebonyi state and projected the state as one of the leading state in the country. He has build industries, good roads, good water system, airport and stadium under construction. Fly overs everywhere, college of Nursing, ultramodern markets, unity bridges, ring roads, street lights, security apparatus and other numerous projects still under construction. All this project were achieved within the space of 4 years. This is the kind of leader Nigeria needs. He has the interest of the country and it's citizens at heart. Plz Nigerians should watch out for this man.

He and his cohorts he will plant in the NNPC which is basically in-charge of how oil business goes . To defraud the country of oil revenue. Imagine a very poor country who can’t even pay salary of their civil servants . 2billion dollars oil revenue will go into a private pocket continuously. The most corrupt politicians are in nigeria . They are into competition of who will steal the highest. Is just too bad .
