Who will ace it?

 I recall the days of yore when cars were advertised as built for Nigerian

roads.

Companies in Nigeria struggle to employ Indians because of their knowledge of the Nigerian ways 

My question is, who best to fix Nigeria?

Nigerians in the diaspora or Nigerians at home?

This question arose from my experience of several people wanting to know whether it is better to travel abroad or get a job in Nigeria?

Do not get me wrong. By training I know we have our different predilections and I respect that.

However, if vehicles are built for Nigerian roads can't Nigerians be prepared for the Nigerian environment?

Truth be told, how many CEOs without a thorough knowledge of the Nigerian environment are really performing?

It is sad that when foreigners try to treat Nigerians in certain ways in conformity with International standards, their Nigerian counterparts discourage them.

They may have their reasons like in the case of backward bending Supply Curve and the Tanzanian workers who give less when paid more.

The rational expectation is that those with foreign experience will use their experience to better our lot. But what do we see?

Those without foreign experience trying harder to better our environment and those with foreign experience doing less. 

Could it be that they easily give up? I may be wrong but is it not said that to whom much is given, much will be expected?

All in all, a combination of both local and foreign experience should do it for us.

It is sad that those who enjoyed the good in Nigeria are presiding over the dilapidation in Nigeria.

Those who got the best of public education like Obj are today proud owners of private schools.

What went wrong? We could talk of population explosion but methinks it is a question of a lack of vision and insincerity.

While our leaders were busy thinking of themselves and not their responsibilities, their foreign counterparts were thinking of bettering their environment.

Those who enjoyed privileges are today dismantling those privileges instead of expanding opportunities.

That we reap what we sow is a time tested truth. The future will belong to those providence will thrust it upon. For now we can only sow to the best of our ability hoping to reap bountifully.
