You and Escapedprince post are always sensible. It brings a view of well traveled and cultural understanding on how economics/society operates. America buys and contributes funds to Nigeria.  They do not agree with how the government does not support it's people. They have made comments, but they have left Nigeria to make it's own decisions. Companies want to bring business so you can be employed, but as long as the country is unstable, they will not come.

Mr Government, isn't it a shame that Nigeria, the 6th largest oil producer, cannot refine its own oil for home consumption? Where has the windfall from massive increase in crude oil price gone? An increase from $65 to over $110 per barrel! Was it the steady power supply you promised Nigerians that you used the excess funds? If not, has Nigeria's foreign reserve swollen or as widely reported, depleted? So you see, Mr Government it is not the common man's fault if he doubts your lofty promises of using the savings from subsidy of a thing for infrastructural development - at least not while members of your government are busy helping themselves at the expense of the poor of this country. So, we doubt if indeed Nigeria belongs to us all but you and your government.
