The Trouble With Nigeria

"The trouble with Nigeria is simply and squarely a failure of leadership. There is nothing basically
wrong with the Nigerian character. There is nothing wrong with the Nigerian character. There is nothing wrong with the Nigerian land or climate or water or air or anything else. The Nigerian problem is the unwillingness or inability of its leaders to rise to the responsibility, to the challenge of personal example which are the hallmarks of true leadership."

Thus, Chinua Achebe diagnosed Nigeria's problem in 1984. Almost thirty years after, what has changed?

O God of creation
Direct our noble cause
Guide our leaders right...
