A deeper look into Nigeria’s socio-economic underdevelopment
doesn’t only show the obvious leadership failure behind it, but it also reveals
the underlying anti-development public attitude that, if left unaddressed, will
certainly continue to undermine and frustrate the already ridiculously poor
leadership commitment over the decades to providing befitting standard of
living for Nigerians.
Though, Nigerians rightly lament over their persistent
underdevelopment, albeit without proportionate commitment to addressing its
real causes, they hardly admit the existence of this attitude among them even
though it’s actually particularly responsible for the persistence of their underdevelopment.
This is apparently because the attitude is largely associated with some misconception
of some cultural values and/or religious concepts.
