        Africa to a large degree, has been afflicted by by lack of leaders. It mostly has brokers for her natural resources masquerading as leaders

        Only when human productivity is needed then education will be priority. With or without education states survive on oil allocations.

        Human productivity is not needed, even if an entire state is illiterate the state government receive free oil money @ the end of the month.

        Nigeria has huge resources but our major problem is corruption which our government has refused to tackle. Instead they are playing dangerous politics. Government is a serious business and not for mediocres.

        These ones in this pic re so fortunate to have a roof over their head though it's leaking. Many study under the sun/ rain in #Nigeria.

        Lack of what resources? There isn't a lack anywhere. Pure misuse and brazen thievery. Check again.
