Nigeria's greatest challenge is Nigeria's people. Nigerians either do not know what they want or are generally happy with what they have got.
Making measurable progress will continue to elude Nigeria so long as knowledge (not necessary academic qualifications) is not a requirement for important offices of state. Will Nigeria make progress when the President of her Federal Senate (the superior federal legislative house) is unable to tell a law and order problem from a national security problem. The man was recently reported to have suggested that a state of emergency be declared in one state in Nigeria because of the spate of kidnapping. Where are the Police? The man may not know too that kidnapping is for many young and old in Nigeria, a practical solution to the employment, poverty, and distribution of wealth challenges in Nigeria. Hard work is generally derided in Nigeria. The positive correlation of hard, measurable productive work, and financial compensation is insignificant possibly.

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - my proposal for a greater nigeria
Hello all,
I really believe that for Nigeria to get it right, there is the need for a true fedralism. The parliamentary system of government where the six geo political zones will be autonomous, controlling their resources and their states, and sending a percentage of their earnings to the federal which shall control the Army, Central Bank, Space and other federal establishments. this will make room for competition and the people will live well as goevernment will be closer to the people.
