The recording killed me. “This one don start...”

Even better is Amaechi's expression during all of this.

Amaechi just sold out for no reason. These Nigerian politicians are so myopic. Make the pie bigger and everyone will eat.

Amaechi was caught on tape saying he believes Nigeria has no future. Nigeria’s politicians believe this. That’s why they’re making sure their children will be safe abroad while others people’s children will suffer and die.

That's the funny thing is that some very simple planning and execution would push Nigeria forward, it's not like the human capital isn't there.

It’s not simple at all. The vast landscape, ridiculous wealth gap, cultural differences, ethnic and religious tension makes it hard to implement change. There are real social issues to overcome before economic changes and policies can be effective. I give Nigeria 30 years before shyt pops off and that’s me being generous.

30 years sounds about right

It’s sad really. There’s so much talent in Nigeria but they had a fukked up beginning that was never rectified and its been fukkery ever since. The widening wealth gap is the shocking thing to me. It’s just going to accelerate the destruction of that country. Privileged Nigerians are so out of touch. They keep bragging about Nigeria going places because of upscale sites in Lagos or the fact that they drive nice cars. I just sit there like are you blind ? Get off the island and look around you.

I ignore Lagosians a lot when they talk about Nigeria. They live in a bubble

It's not that simple but in a sense it is. Nigeria needs a weaker center and stronger regionalism. Give a certain level of governance to regions that are more homogeneous in order to foster change. There is no reason why a state like Delta should seek approval from the federal government to expand it's ports.

Sure, there are differences and such, but a lot of that has been fostered by bad governance.

Sound policies that cater and reflect the regional differences of the Nigerian state should be what is pushed.

E.g. In the Bible belt in America, it's not uncommon to see students pray before school starts. In a more secular NYC, that's far-fetched. However, both regions are still operating withing the American state.

Let's call a spade a spade, people are saying there are too many issues that make it hard to implement change but in what country is change easy but you have to plan. What leader has come forth in Nigeria and detailed a comprehensive plan as to how they will tackle issues? Address systems or push the Nigerian people forward?

All they say is "I want to fight corruption", "I want to improve the economy", "Forward ever, backward never".

Those are empty statements. Until a solid plan is put in place and executed, we'll keep talking in circles.

Kingsley Moghalu has created a detailed plan to create regional federalism but God has ordained the destruction of Nigeria. So, he will not become President
