They argued that it's possible that the solutions to Nigeria's problems are on the long run and are not solutions that'll bring up results today, but the thing is how long is this long term project going to last ?
I won't argue as well that the solution to Nigeria problem is on a long term execution but in order to achieve this long term objective it will require series of short term goals to make the long term objective a reality.

As it stands the problems of Nigeria keeps compounding and the more complex it becomes the more our leaders get confused on which sector to prioritise. For a better solution I think having a clear and consistent short term goals that are carried out will overtime make even the long term objective more actualizable

You don talk am finished. When you go to do university and mostly in the social science faculties, and lecturers in day ace go tell you say Nigeria is a fail state while some go say Nigeria never fail and every group have their factors on this argument. Though I am not from di social science faculties but from the science faculties but I am of the group dat Nigeria is a fail State with following points.
1: A state where the citizens struggle to survive amist in abundance resources then di state is a fail one.
2: unequal distribution of resources and wealth. Nigerian is blessed with Natural resources and the government make billions of naira every month yet there is no development in the country then it is a fall State.
3: When the social basic amenities are not found in a wealthy state like Nigeria then the state has failed the people.
4: wen employment is not found for the graduates in the country then the state has failed the citizens. Etc. Nigeria is a fail State and not failing.

Good one brotherly, Nigeria as a whole isn't the first nation to experience this kind of setback but what makes these other nations better is the fact they actually worked towards a solution to this upsets that were going on, so as a country we are all task on making Nigeria one way or the other we all have our role to play. And complaining without action is certainly not the way to go about it
Nigeria's economy faces the main challenge of leadership, and so many years have been lost that put us behind. These first world countries do not have 70% of what we have in terms of weather, human resources, arable land, natural resources, etc. Political corruption is the main challenge facing these leaders, and it has been so lucrative that everyone wants to be part of it. There have been so many unproductive years, and we need leaders who can take us in the right direction despite the terrible global economic relationship we have with First World nations.

Nigeria na project? Make ona no dey confuse person for grammar which one be project again? Anyways project or no project, Nigeria don fail as an economy, many reasons dey to prove Nigeria as a failed economy:

Lack of good road and hospital facilities
Poor education system
Poor judicial system
Power supply failure
Curupt electoral bodies
Lack of proper financial management or mismanagement of government reserved funds
Lack of production of agriculture product
Lack of inport an exportation
Lack of good security system
Lack of job creation or empowerment
Lack of compitency due to favouritism etc

Me self don tire always to dey repeat myself for Nigeria problem. And one thing wey dey dere be say people don tire and it seams the only way this thing fit dey possible to stop na violence. But who dey Ready to bear the cat? Consedring wetting happen for endsars protest.


According to the definition, a project is an individual or collaborative  planned work undergone in order to achieve a specific aim. Nigeria is a country, with collective people who came together to achieve the aim/purpose of unity in diversity and many more. So yes, Nigeria is...or should I say " was" a project.

Believe me, this na the kind thread I enjoy to see for this place no be the one people go Dey talk how them scold them or Dey under appreciated for the Yiinu’s way them Dey bring Abi how them use Bitcoin buy one thing or the other.
You timely and carefully crafted your argument and I enjoy am. I read am to the end because, na nation building topic way raise concerns on the proceeding of our independence with relevant points. You try!

Then again, e get small concern way I get disbelief of or no really see am to Dey factual enough and that he say,

Take for example, the fact that many countries have accepted Bitcoin and are using it, while a few have even made it their legal tender, taking them further and further into the future. While in our country, only a few have Investments in Bitcoin, only a little above those few own Bitcoins, while after adding a little more percentage of Nigerians, you would now have the number of people that have heard of it. This is quite backwards.
Majority of the nations never accept Bitcoin, that no be legit. Watin we get amongst many be say, them allow am some pseudo operation but no fully recognize am. Na the same situation we get for we nation Nigeria.

On the matter you bring for ground so;
I think one of the main issue way they cause this continued decay of our governance and the exploitation of government resources for selfish reasons na corruption within the various arms of government.
Our politicians don take this whole idea of “politics is a dirty game” to a whole new level way be say, them no even give a dime of the consequences of the game they play and how e go affect the nation on the long run.

Worst still, the judicial arm of government no Dey do anything to keep things in check. With the free hand way them Dey get, it only allows for such rubbish to continue.

I no go still see Nigeria for a failed state shah. We get a lot to learn and we go learn one day. Maybe when the knife don reach our throat and the poeple not blow and mighty will rise to take power for themselves. Then, anybody way enter the seat, go understand watin e need do to Dey relevant for the country.

Good afternoon my country people.

This topic was formed from a lecture discussion where the lecturer asked the question "is Nigeria a failed project?" And it made me wonder, if we had the solutions to our problems why isn't anybody working towards making the country better?

It's no news that the country is getting way worse than it was yesterday, meanwhile people predicted it to be developed not long after it's independence. From the high illiteracy and unemployment rate to the devaluation of our currency, and the continuous corruption in the government sector. When the question was asked, of course, some students agreed that Nigeria is actually a failed project cause of the signs we see everyday. Meanwhile, some said Nigeria isn't a failed project considering the following points:

First of all, projects are of 2 kinds;  the short term projects and the long term projects.

Short term projects are known as "Goals", and the way of solving short term problems or meeting a goal is through "Tactics".

Long term projects are known as " Objectives", and solution is through "Strategies".

They argued that it's possible that the solutions to Nigeria's problems are on the long run and are not solutions that'll bring up results today, but the thing is how long is this long term project going to last ?

Secondly, there's something in projects "Goal/Objectives congruence" . This refers to harmonization of goals. It's very possible that everyone is doing their work and is working towards different goals that aren't bringing forth general good fruits but individual selfish based fruits, and this is the number 1 thing you'd see in Nigeria. Hardly would you find someone who wants to work for the people, and also hardly would you find people who are ready to elect and listen to someone who's ready to help them. People have their head elsewhere. Take for example, elections, the general goal is to elect someone who would lead and help push the country upwards, but some people are focused on just getting into power, others are focused on stealing ballot boxes and making quick cash, and many others. So, in order for things to go smoothly while working on goals, one would have to synchronize the focus of everybody's individual want, harmonizing them in order to get general gains.

Thirdly, there may be visions, projects, objectives etc for the country, but poor strategies and tactics are used in meeting them, making it therefore slow, poor and inefficient. Again, I'd like to add that Nigeria may be working on old rules while alot of other countries are working on and implementing new and innovative ideas for their economic development. Take for example, the fact that many countries have accepted Bitcoin and are using it, while a few have even made it their legal tender, taking them further and further into the future. While in our country, only a few have Investments in Bitcoin, only a little above those few own Bitcoins, while after adding a little more percentage of Nigerians, you would now have the number of people that have heard of it. This is quite backwards.

Some of Nigeria's economic plans that may be seen as failed projects include; The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), The National Economic Empowerment Development Strategy (NEEDS), The Vision 20:2020.

In conclusion, I'm going to be throwing the question to the public. In your opinion is Nigeria and failed project ? And reasons why you picked yes or no.

Thank you.


This question, " Is Nigeria a failed project” is a good and significant question to ask considering the level of hardship, bad economy, high cost of living and high devaluation of the Naira which have befallen our country Nigeria.  Our country is in this mess because of the selfish and greedy politicians we have occupying all the public offices without human sympathy and consideration.
This country will continue to be a failed project if we still have these groups of evil men running the system.  They are aware of the tactics and strategies that will improve and better our system, but they don't care because they are not affected by this mess.
Doing the same thing several times will always yield the same result.

In conclusion, I'm going to be throwing the question to the public. In your opinion is Nigeria and failed project ? And reasons why you picked yes or no.
In my opinion I think Nigeria is not a failed project yet even though the government have been disappointing its citizens i just believe this is a phase we passing through and it’s only a matter of time before things changes.

Is Nigeria a failed project ?
Capital Yes, my reason for saying this is that the path we are now is different from what our forefathers plan for us. Assuming we followed their foot steps we will not be  in this mess. Nigeria democracy is total different from any democracy we know, democracy definition is government of the people, by the people, and for the people but in the case of Nigeria the definition is total different "government of our leader, by our leader, and for our leader". This is what is happening now, during election we are asked to come out and vote and later our vote does not count because court decide our leader not we the mass anymore.
I know where you are coming from man and i feel your pain too and to some extent i will agree with you about how you have defined democracy LOL… Our leaders have now turn a different definition to democracy and have attributed it all to themselves, we have not been lucky with the leaders being elected to seat and it now seem like all of them are motivated by their own personal interest and I believe this is why you are of the opinion Nigeria is a failed project.

Our leaders have not been the best but it is not wise to conclude Nigeria have failed already. There is still hope for the country and i believe one day a good leader will locate us and change the whole narrative so Let’s not give up too soon because all hope is not lost yet, i still believe in my country and you should too and everyone else as well.

is Nigeria and failed project ?

Yes. I'm not one to comment on political matters but our government; past and current leaders failed us as a country. From heavy corruptions to failed irrational policies that did more bad than good. The problem is the damages done thus far cut too deep into the heart of the country since there's corruption at all levels of government so even if we have a good president — he can't perform effectively since state and local levels will most likely be corrupt.


One of the previous government leader Olusegun Obasanjo formulated a policy named National Vision 2020 a program with the aim to reduce poverty in the country and to tackle other problems in the country unfortunately it very glaring the policy had failed that policy is just like a roadmap which needed strict implementation, successive government abandoned it and here we are now, now tribalism and nepotism is dragging the country backward the present state of the country is nothing to write home about fueled by high level of corruption in all the government parastatals while new government has no clue or solution to all those problems in conclusion I also agreed that the country is a fail state.

Is Nigeria a failed project? Yes, Is there remedy for this our country, I nor reason am like so because from the way many sectors for we country dun dey compromised, No remedy go dey, even coup nor go fit happen at this stage, E be like our country dun pass that level because say I believe say the bad government wey we get dun hold everywhere strong, and we the people dey too adjustable to any kind situation wey dem package for us, so no chance of say anything like serious riot or protest wey go change things for the country.

Omo baba e no easy. The kind thing we I don see our govt do over the years dey very terrible. Because of their poor decisions, prices of commodities that the common man was able to easily afford a decade ago no come dey affordable. The worst thing be job opportunities dey scarce and minimum wage (which majority of public servants earn) no fit offset the rise and cost of goods and services. If this govt fit do that lekki tour gate incident and deny, things don many and only intervention of God go work this time.

The way deference events occur in our nation and the politicians refuse to take this into consideration is something I don't even understand. Why does Nigeria face obstacles as it develops? Can we envision how Nigeria gotten the project and then refused to complete it, What are the root reasons of this type of behavior? Or it is the result of ineffective leadership or ineffective government? We must awaken if we want to be sincere. Because it's like we're asleep, in our country. That is why we are perpetually trapped in our Nigeria.

Actuality, Bitcoin is accepted in numerous nations. Although they claim that approximately 24 nations have adopted Bitcoin, but i think that is only El Salvador and the Central African Republic consider it to be legal tender. Many are fighting for Nigeria to legalize Bitcoin, but as of right now, the government has not accepted it. I also hold the government responsible for this because the majority of Nigerians lack formal education, particularly marketers who had no idea what Bitcoin was, let alone how to use it.

My brother, if you observe the rate of people wey dey leave this country now, you self go know and I know that you already know say the answer na yes.

If you check the book of lamentations, you go see Nigerians worries there. No electricity, no refinery and petrolatum products wey be the engine of the economy don sky rocket.

The worse be say all these dey happen for democratic government unlike in military, things still better then.

INEC don scatter everywhere, where people go vote finish dem go choose another person wey dem like, how things go better. See the governorship elections wey happen on 11/11/2023 for Kogi, Imo and Bayelsa na so so complain of over voting.

Weather Nigeria na failed or unfailled project still no change the fact say we all be Nigerians and we dey part of am cos e dey our hands to decide wetin good for us. See our last Election, see the rigging and everything but still yet we no fit do anything to change am, no be to fly up and down dey go court omor I believe say e don burst pass dat level, even scripture go talk say from the days of old the kingdom sufferet violence and the violent once go take am by force. You can't tell me say one man because him feel say him get money go just come rub sand for our eyes, e no supposed be like dat Nigerians has enough multitude to pull am out from there, na just to remove religious diversity come together and kwa I believe say before we go see change for the country e suppose start from personal, Angel no go come down come rule wey go make the country better
    Nigeria my country, sometimes to talk about the country dey tiring because no matter how much we brainstorm for its betterment, it just can't get better, it even keeps getting worse. Everyday we wake up to crazy news that in a normal world setting it's incomprehensible and impossible but naija don make am possible... Like how??? E jus be like say everybody dey trapped in pre hell, nothing is heard, no voice that yells is listened to, we're in our own punishment and we don't know how to get out.
    The old guys don too jonz us. I really wish say unity fit dey and contentment because why people wey join hand to protest against bad governance con turn back against the people wey d thing dey hear more , then betray them because of greed? E jus be like say na only some certain people this country dey benefit and e no dey pass the circle. Na this kain thing dey cause unending sporty bet and yahoo, even crypto trading but the wicked hearted leaders no go gree boys get peace of mind. EFCC no go waste time raid boys wey dey try make end meet but Dem go investigate who be real thief so calmly. The country is a mess for now and e be like the mess go long.

Does not change the fact that we are Nigerians but we can not continue this way, I know government can not solve all problems but at least they can do better than this. That is what annoys me the most, once we are not certified with any election results we should be able to reject and ask for reelection but after election no body is doing anything inec need  fumigation to bring out does parasites to justice. Sure one day people will no longer tolerate anything from the government again and all for the best of the country.
I grew up knowing Nigerians as strong and always making considerable effort in getting what dey always want but it is no more that way.
Hoping on the Inec is now not even a better solution cos dey worth any price just offer dem money and you good. We the citizens are bigger than the government and it is left for us to stop this nonsense if not it will pass to our generation and might even get worst than this if dey refuse to do am calmly as the citizens dey plead make we try apply violence, no shading of blood tho but we get voice as Nigerians.
I still dey laugh people wey dey their house alone dey pray for this country to change where be say dey no dey add any effort even the least voting dem dey dulge their head, God dey mostly help those who apply effort to their prayers

People like him are the kind of those that will always sit and fold their hands watching what's happening instead of making them happening, they want to see a better Nigeria but don't want to be among those to make it a better place, the moment we continue to have that kind of irresponsible mindset that always thinks about the government should be the ones responsible for every conditions the country is, then maybe we are failing already, because it all lies in our hands, one or few people cannot make the success alone, it has to be a collaborative effort of all.

I'm tempted to agree that Nigeria is a failed state but let's just have a piece of hope. Asides that the present situation of Nigeria needs emergency help but those in power don't have any clue on how to rescue it.
The worst thing about Nigeria is that the citizens will never kick out these political hijackers through voting coz they're incharge of all institutions
The way things are going and are getting worst is because every sector is bad and I know for a new government to take over things won't be that easy but at least their should be signs of things getting better and their just to many flags of how u serious the government will always be no matter who is emerging has the president, all of them all they care about is the money they will get from their. And if it is about clue on how to rescue Nigeria how politicians know, it is just that they are self centered and the are blinded by money. And the solution would have been kicking them out but inec is corrupt so people that can provide the solution are behind the problem.

Weather Nigeria na failed or unfailled project still no change the fact say we all be Nigerians and we dey part of am cos e dey our hands to decide wetin good for us. See our last Election, see the rigging and everything but still yet we no fit do anything to change am, no be to fly up and down dey go court omor I believe say e don burst pass dat level, even scripture go talk say from the days of old the kingdom sufferet violence and the violent once go take am by force.

Even though many people go want us to believe say everything dey fine and wetin dey happen to our country is the normal process wey other big nations follow, omo me I no agree with them lie lie to lai. I dey beat my chest to tell you say Nigeria na failed project. The amalgamation of Southern and Northern Nigeria by Lord Lugard in 1914 na the biggest tragedy wey done happen to humanity since the creation of the world. How can you bring two different people wey no fit agree for anything together; two different people wey them don use religion wash their head. Nigeria na big time failed experiment and I no sure say e go better for whoever bring the country together.

Wetin remain for the country again? Everything don scatter. The North and South no fit agree on anything. If North go left, South go chose right and the jamboree continues. Every institution don die, no one of them dey function at all.

The only people wey dey enjoy the country as e be like this na the elite wey don manage agree on how to share the national cake. To them, Nigeria just dey like their company that is making money for them, at the end they share their profits. Them no send weda the workers die or not.
