@the_davidatta Why do Nigerians generally think that the job of developing a country is the responsibility of a separate party and not the citizens, they talk as third parties, thinking the more they insult the Country the more they are insulated from the responsibility of contributing

One experience should not be used to condemn African hospitals or African doctors as a whole. Every healthcare system whether in Africa or the West has flaws.

Africa has competent hospitals and professionals saving lives daily, yet we amplify the negatives and ignore the successes. Seeking second opinions is good medical practice everywhere, not proof of system failure.

We must stop reinforcing the false narrative that nothing good comes from Africa. Fair criticism strengthens systems; blanket condemnation only feeds modern-day colonization.

@OrbitAssoc @docneto I want to venture ignorance as an excuse that comes with youth , their parents raised them with fear of Nigeria, when they attain maturity without full acceptance in their chosen countries, they will appreciate irreplaceable identity and the damage they have done to theirs

@Gviev @jeffphilips1 is that if individuals become more hard working, share positive energy, embrace moral reorientation, embrace their station in life and work to improve themselves, We will have a critical mass that will transform society positively. We should each own our corners

[Ayo Elekula @elekudos]

@Gviev @jeffphilips1 Nigeria is a country with Nigerians as its citizens, citizens cannot out source the responsibility for development to others, it’s individual efforts that builds a critical mass that leads to either failure or success. Denial and insults can be a soothing balm but reality…

@winexviv I want to recommend that you read these three books:
1. Guns Germs & Steel by Jared Diamond
2. Why nations fail by Daron Acemoglu & James Robinson
3. Age of revolution by Fareed Zakaria
Your questions will be better contextualized

@jeffphilips1 Citizens have a responsibility in a democracy to be vigilant, I laugh when people think it’s just the urge to do moral good that rally politicians in “developed climes”, it’s access to state resources, some societies just have more resources to absorb corruption more

[Ayo Elekula @elekudos]

@jeffphilips1 I often direct people to just google the history of NHS corruption in the UK or the fact that Military procurement in the USA is so dark it can’t even be audited, political contest anywhere in the world is to gain access to resources and direct it….

@NileGardiner Decoupling militarily triggers economic decoupling which bears great implications for the western hegemony. The collapse of the carefully arranged sphere of influence of the global west will be catastrophic, don’t think for one second it won’t affect currency dominance .

@DrJoeAbah … the better the chances of selecting leaders that better represent the general aspiration of the society, I belief the connotation “ leadership class “ sound feudal and classist for our burgeoning representative democracy

[Ayo Elekula @elekudos]

@DrJoeAbah … A society cannot rise beyond the predominant tendencies of its critical mass, Critical mass theory posits that a committed minority can drive societal shifts only when it reaches a tipping point often 25-30% of the population , The larger and more qualitative the selection…

@egi_nupe @kennygee_70 Politicians really prefer the status quo since they know improved taxation will naturally incease scrutiny, With better taxation government activities will become more relatable, no longer turn by turn to eat resource generated freebies, the present anger is a good pointer

[Ayo Elekula @elekudos]

@egi_nupe @kennygee_70 I think the real problem is citizen’s laziness to organize and interrogate the actions of government, unfortunately politicians anywhere in the world will try to get as much as they can get away with, reforming taxation is often a very risky venture since it wakes up citizens

@woye1 @scarfizal “creative destruction “ is one of the key elements of a society’s positive evolution indicator to grow inclusive institutions, the extractive institutions model must die to make way for market driven change. We are witnessing large scale economic and social change real time.

@the_davidatta It’s called “Rosy Retrospection,” a psychological cognitive bias, The same time that people at that same age of 27years will still be writing JAMB because of the limited carrying capacity of universities and no alternative private universities, when eating meatpie is luxury .
