Sincerely speaking, if we have a national government that knows its worth, and with the advantage of our population and such a government is nationalistic enough to pump funds into education some of these over rated western powers would be begging to do business with Nigeria. Abacha -led government called their bluff and Nigeria did not collapse. What Nigeria needs is to invest more on Human Capital Development and we can't do that when we clap for those politicians who collect loans on our behalf, steal back the money with the connivance of some officials of these over rated world powers and now coming back to use the stolen funds to get political power. Some of our scholars analyses are usually pro-western power and this is understandable in the sense that 'he who pays the piper dictates the tune." I totally disagree that Nigeria cannot survive without taking loans from abroad. The earlier our scholars are ideologically clear about the type of leaders the western powers want for us, the better the issues will be clearer to us. Nigeria does not their loans any more.

Salimoni Kadiri,
Most times, the trajectory of your reasoning amuses me.
Does the United States of America depend on loans and grants from Russia to survive, like the situation in Nigeria?
Do you sincerely believe that these countries that grant your country loans and grants(at your requests), without which, your country would not survive, should not intervene/interfere, if they believe that your country is about to slide into anarchy?
CAO.
