NIGERIA IS FALLING APART, WEIGHED DOWN BY SEVERAL BURDEN

When asked "whether he knew about the level of corruption in Nigeria before initially endorsing removal of fuel subsidy, which he later withdrew, Jeffrey Sachs said: “They didn’t have to tell me." Icheoku says corruption in Nigeria is of a general world-wide knowledge; what a big deficit to the country. Mr Sachs also said: “I’ve noticed how the politicians barely care about the universities. Sad and costly for Nigeria." To this Icheoku adds, most of those politicians are semi-illiterates who loathe education and begrudge educated people as they feel shortchanged by their own lack of education and/or proper education where applicable and do not understand the imperative of good sound education enough as to encourage one. (FYI: Jeffrey Sachs is special advisor to U.N. Secy General Ban-ki Moon on Economic matters)
