HOW CAN NIGERIA BE A BETTER PLACE??????

I am a Nigerian who leaves in Europe.

Please i would like to know why is there so much poverty in our country today, even-though we are  so blessed with all the natural things that can make a country a better place for all it citizens to leave?

I ask this question because of what i have seen in my current place of residence,here the citizens live well and still they are not blessed naturally like we are.

Some people say its our leaders,

If its our leaders what can be done to bring a change to our great country Naija?

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE YUR IDEAS?

To make a better change in Nigeria, everybody has to be known. There should be a national identification of every citizen and non citizen.Everyone's true IDENTITY should be known. That's the root of it all. When there is no IDENTITY, the good ones build and the unknown bad ones destroy. There is little crime in developed countries like Germany(EU) because everyone is known and so there is no hiding place. Where there is no IDENTITY even the so-called leaders commit crimes and there is no trace of them, imagine. IDENTIFICATION with FINGERPRINT should be first done.

Dismantle the existing set-up;political parties,Zoning,etc.Redefine the so called Federation.Let all States be independent,  contributing 5%- 10% of their internally generated revenue to the Federal Govt. at the center.
Let States determine the type of Government they want to run- democracy,autocracy,monarchy,etc,etc.Let the states have their own police and let the army be managed/financed by the FG at the center.Any two or more states that want to form a union should be allowed to do so provided they share common borders.Let  States take over the resources within their borders and territorial waters,manage them for the benefit of its people.Try this system for another 30 years(a generation) and compare it with the gains /achievements of the last 50 years and decide by States'referendum where  to go from there.

Sorry to sound like a pessimist here, but I don't think anything can be done to make Nigeria better, unless God intervenes. Some talked of revolution, u'd be surprise at the kind of leaders that would produce. I tell u one thing, most fellow Nigerians are selfish, materialistic and avaricious. Just my thought, anyway.

I agree, that all people should have positive ID, that way when they commit a crime, they are identified, and can not hide.

also every Nigerian needs to put aside tribal hatred, and get along. stop the fighting. only then when you have a safe country for the tourists to come to, will they come and spend their money. Nigeria is such a wonderful and beautiful country with many things that would attract rich tourists. like the ocean, fishing and diving, hunting, safari's, shopping, the wonderful diverse food, and rich history and culture. if we could only stop fighting and get along, we would all thrive.

Also we must stand up to our leaders and make them accountable for their corruption. kick the corrupt ones out and elect good leaders. I believe Johnathon Goodluck is a good step in the right direction, he's doing all he can, it's up to us to help him!
