The country is blessed with several resources, both natural and human capital. But the country, and most Afican countries has been saddled with bad, evil and visionless leaders since independence. More than 75% of the citizens living with less than $1.00 a day. Illeteracy, crime, squalor, dilapidated infrastructures, poor health delivery system, police brutality, corruption by elected representatives in high places, etc has combined together to reduce the life expentancy to an average of 45 years! What can African countries do, to ensure that they can elect leaders that will be 100% accountable to the people who elected them to power? People are getting killed daily from avoidable and minor diseases. Please help, let's stop this wave of backwardness in Africa in the 20th century.

The problem of good leadership is not only in Nigeria, but in all African and developing poor countries. That of NIgeria appears much more serious perhaps because of their national psyche and temperament. It is a difficult problem, with no easy solution in sight. Generally, it is those who can plunder the state who also have the ability to get elected to high and responsible office. You and me who are prepared to sacrifice everything to see to the progress and welfare of our nations will never get anywhere if we ever try to get into office. It is indeed a very cruel fate, from which perhaps only divine intervention can save us.

Sure, whom amongst us is willing to run over there and protect the good-ones long enough to see the election?
