        Nigerians elect corrupt, stupid leaders. They should be more successful than Egypt, S.A and Morocco. Oil money is stolen instead of being used to benefit citizens

        We are threatened by all sorts of things everyday in our pursuit of success, its just human.In my country people dig deep unprotected pits in search of precious metals in areas where noone has ever found one.Eventually pits collapse on them. Just give these people alternatives.
