Economic Reform Model for Nigeria
The problem of Nigeria not a reform model, but a model for reforming Nigerians. It requires no depth of intellectual reasoning to state that so long as a country's leadership is made up of persons whose primary interest is how to loot the public funds; so long as those entrusted with checks and balances in the system have thoroughly compromised their offices; the civil society has failed to live up the popular expectation of being effective watchdog over political society; so long the people remain uneducated and ignorant of their rights, emasculated and incapable of protecting their own dignity, no model- no matter how well thought out can work.
No matter how good a model is it cannot work in a nation where those responsible for it's implementation are self-serving corrupt persons, and where also the very representative of the people undermine their interests and sell their conscience conscience for a share of the loot.
Reforms can't succeed in a nation where bad governance, high rate of uneducated citizens, mismanagement of resources and insecurities rises to the peak.
