It is very unfortunate that Nigeria has come to this sorry pass. A situation whereby in the 80s it was Ghana-must-go but now it is Nigeria-must-go. Our women now go to Ghana to practice prostitution. It was the other way around in the 80s because of economic downtown in Ghana. Nigeria used to call herself the giant of Africa but now it is apt to call her the minnows of Africa. It is very unfortunate that we have not been able to manage our economy and we frittered away our patrimony through corruption and inordinate consumption. We did not put aside for the rainy day. It is a result of poor leadership.
The followership has its own blame but when all is said and done the bulk of the problems lie with the leadership. The right leader well go a long way in solving our present predicament. A situation where the real income of Nigerians in the 80s was a lot more than what obtains at present is not good enough. The leadership should be up and doing. This is the time for action. Nigeria should quit being the prodigal son of Africa.
