Am inspired to come up with this topic because of the situation of this country Nigeria. Every Nigerian are testimonies that Nigeria is a country that is well blessed with numerous natural resources including oil which is now Nigeria major source of income presently. Left with natural resources alone Nigerians are not suppose to suffer, but bad governance has kept Nigeria where it is today.
What Nigeria need is good governance, and our numerous natural resources will be useful to us. There are some other countries that don't have as much natural resources as Nigeria do but they are fairing well, and doing better than Nigeria, reason being that they have better leaders. Their leaders are innovative, and have it in mind for the growth of their country, and citizens as well.
When the leadership of any country is good every thing goes smoothly, even when they don't have enough resources to survive from, the leaders will bring investors who find their country convenient to do their business, and economic growth will be esterblished.
Presently in Nigeria, there is high rate of insecurity, inflation, and economic hardship, and all is caused by bad rulership. No investor would like to esterblish where their is high level of insecurity even with our numerous natural resources.
We need leaders that will make Nigeria great, and bring it to a great country that Nigeria is suppose to be. A country can grow even without many natural resources, but when the leaders only care about what they will achieve, the economy is bound to crash.
What is your take on this?
Bad governance is one of the major problems that is killing the country. Our government or leaders focus solely on self interest living the biggest opportunities that will be favourable to both the government and its citizens or the country at large. Ignorance, greediness and selfishness doesn't give them the chance to focus on the preservation and utilisation of this great blessings that God has given us in form of natural resources. If there is equality, and accountability we will have less problems to deal with. Truth to be told, inflation and lack of unemployment are part of the major reasons why insecurity still persists in Nigeria. Because due to lack of unemployment there is increase in the rate of illegal activities such as stealing and other unlawful behaviours or activities.
