Have you ever travelled around Nigeria with the motive of appreciating the diversity
in the different cultures, ethnicities and complexities that make up the
country? These are things worth celebrating.
Nigeria has so much
that is yet to be tapped, Nigeria
has so much potential, Jim O'Neil's MINT theory states that the concerned
countries economies have the potential to grow rapidly in the next three
decades. This has been said about Nigeria over and over though. Nigeria has
been called the giant of Africa, it is the
most populous black nation. But does a country not need to appreciate what it
has and its past to move forward?
Nigeria celebrated the centenary of its amalgamation
this year, but I have to say that there was no real impact on Nigeria despite the series of events that were held for certain people in Abuja. I would have thought that this
would be a time to dwell on the things that haven't worked, and what makes Nigeria the country it is, then come
up with ideas to make the nation stronger.
