The Nigerian State Series

Dear Global Citizens,

It has become imperative for  me to  devote time to examining the voices of Nigerian citizens as regards the state of our nation and the rising cry of the pssiblity of another civil protest againt Government actions come 2013. Please note that this is not to speak for or against the current administration but to examine a growing concern in Nigeria
The 1st in the series is this article:

Haba! What happened to the 2008 Tourism Masterplan that was never implemented? What do you require to do to put a master plan together that requires 5 Billion Naira just to formulate?
 This spenthrift government is going to empty our treasury in no time. With the
loss of 5 Trillion Naira to looting alone in the past 2 years [at a Monthly looting rate of 214 Billion Naira - the yearly budget for 2 to 3 federal ministries] plus the loss over the previous 10 years in the oil sector alone of over 17 Trillion Naira to extra budgetary theft [the size of 4 annual federal budgets]; it seems that the Nigerian looting class is engaging in 'anticipatory looting' - that is looting the future in advance!
 At this rate Another January Uprising is An Imperative! Let Us Take Back Nigeria from these 'akotiletas'!
