I ran into this piece (Nigeria: We have lost the plot)
on the Nigeria Village Square

I decided to re-post it here and I hope the author is not mad at me for not asking his permission.

Sometimes some idiots come to my blog to say that I am writing rubbish about Nigeria.

Some people are just so afraid of the truth that they will tell you that shit is pizza.

For anyone who cares to know, there are problems in Lagos and in Nigeria generally.

For all I care more than 98% of Nigerian politicians are thieves and pure looters. They spread poverty and make it an acceptable way of life.

More than 70% of Nigerians live in abject poverty. Some people put the figure at 90% or more.

Nigeria is not a true giant in Africa. All that expression is absolute illusion.

Take a trip round Nigeria or simply look at the pictures in the link-essay I pasted above.
