The development of Nigeria's economy has regrettably suffered devastating setbacks due to illiteracy, mediocrity, corruption and compromised government institutions.
Since the setbacks are systemic, all attempts to turning to the positive side of development have failed, while trial and error is now the acceptable approach.
Sadly, Those-in-Power are presently counting the number of days to handover while the economy continues to deteriorate.
In several states of the federation, economic activities have declined drastically, this has compiled Nigerians to seek alternative means of income.
These means are criminal in nature. Interestingly, unfolding events suggest that terrorism, ritual killings, banditry, kidnappings and other violent crimes have become sources of livelihood not only for those outside government service, but for those in service.
The situation is not abating, and the criminals are not relenting, even as tears, sorrows and blood characterize living in different parts of the country.
Those-in-Power ought to salvage the almost helpless situation, but for their confused state of mind.
