I worked and lived in Abuja for 18 years. I ran my own private company from 2001 until 2014.

Two million of the likes of Buhari cannot change Nigeria.

Everything is wrong with Nigeria.

The Director won't give you contract except you pay up front .

The banks won't give you loan except you concede a certain percentage.

The man supervising the contract won't the job except you play ball.
The clerk won't your file for payment except you rob his palm.
The s department won't raise your payment voucher or cheque unless you see them. I can go on and on.

The worst thing is that it has become a norm that nobody sees anything wrong with.
If you think otherwise, they begin to think you are sick and not normal.
If you try to stand in their way, you put your life at risk.

If you get killed there is no justice system in place to seek redress and bring the perpetrators to book.

The police is corrupt , the Judiciary is the same.
Even the religious circle is not spared.

Everything in Nigeria revolves around corruption.
Nobody cares about anybody. No law and order.
I looked from my left to right, everybody is only desperate about one thing "money".
They will kill anybody and anything that stand between them and money.
I am an electrical engineer with MNSE and COREN. The system don't care about my qualifications.

Distribution and transmission jobs are given to alhajis, pastors, friends and relatives without any basic skills.
I started asking myself, how do I convince my kids that education and hard work is rewarding?
When fools, agberos and touts are running the country from the local govt to the Presidency.

Is this what my four sons will also go through? In 2014 I decided I have had enough. I decided I was leaving. I migrated to Australia with my family.
Don't put yourself in harm way for any reason.
The problem of Nigeria is in the hands of Nigerians living in Nigeria.

Try starting a gate house in your village, everybody wants to profiteer from it. The bricklayer, the carpenter, the mason and even your brother who claim to be supervising on your behalf.
They are corrupt, morally bankrupt and selfish.
Everybody there thinks about himself and nobody is thinking about Nigeria .

You don't have to be the one to go there to change anything.
Let those under the hammer start the revolution.

bashir would clear grasses with #290 million

sorry I can't read all that just to comment,,,,I'm out.

Very true. To collect a contract, engineer will collect his own, security man will collect, a brother to the house owner go collect, omonile go collect, even when you carry black nylon to the back to widraw or make deposit, the security man go beg, the cashier go beg, the begger on the road go beg, na which kind life be this?

Ok

Let anyone deny what he has said. It's everywhere not only in govt office but also private sector. Might not be as bad in some cases in other cases far worse than he put it

Zoogeria, ahh sorry nigeria is a fraud and all its institutions are fraud hence cannot pruduce patriotic and sincere individual. This circle will continue until this scam of a country is balkanize and new nations emerge.

Facts...!

Very true. Where educated ones leave their future at the mercies of touts

You are making sense but should we now abandon our country and relocate to australia or wherever?

fighting for your boyfriend?....sorry I don't have your time

All you have said is true but if we all run away and abandon our country like you, who will make it different? You want us that are here to make the change for you and after we're done changing you'll bring your selfish, self indulgent cowardly and lazy self back to our country to reap the benefits? How lovely. You are part of our problem.

Good question.

The black race is the only race that flees his homeland in numbers to enjoy the fruit of other people's labour abroad.
Every developed country without exception has become developed because it's citizens fought for their political and economic emancipation.
