Back to the lady’s question. Why do we not collect fines for overspeeding in Nigeria? It is just because we refuse to be organized. We also are uncontrollable. And any society that is uncontrollable, where every and anyone does things the way they like, will never make real progress. Our uncontrollability is the reason why people now see Nigeria as a pariah nation – a place to be avoided. Not only have foreigners stopped coming here, but they are also sealing us from their country.
Now, we are in deep trouble as we owe very close to $100 billion. For measure, as of 2006 when we were in a debt trap and begged for forgiveness from the Paris and London Clubs, we were owing just $35 billion. The Buhari administration alone has contracted almost $50 billion in new loans plus the devaluation of currency effect. The Jonathan government, with Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as co-ordinating minister, left our loans at $53 billion.
The world is changing rapidly. Nigeria has only been left behind because of the attitude of we the people – leaders and the led. We sort of believe that development will drop on our laps, or that God will neglect other peoples of the world and help us. Sometimes, we also believe we can borrow our ways out of underdevelopment or that the white man will gift us technology. It is that simple. We act like people with simple minds, make all the wrong assumptions, and complain later.
Abuja, our federal capital, is today the most unruly, most undisciplined and of course the most corrupt city-state in Nigeria. Nobody has respect for traffic lights, not even the good old local taxis . On a few occasions, traffic police make brisk business for their own pockets. Of course, if we cannot make Abuja sane, there is no hope for anywhere else. Shame on the Buhari government, but things must change.
