A lot of Nigerians that live in a non-realistic world are full of optimism and positive energy by believing that Nigeria will soon be great in our lifetime. They always say that Nigeria is only 52 years old and it took America over 236 years to reach her present height. Did America go through the same massive unabated official corruption from her public elected officials, the massive mismanagement of her state resources by her leaders, lawlessness and the rule of brutality for the first 52 years of the formation of America?
Those Nigerians also like to point to the national unity and the patriotism of all Americans despite their diversity in terms of their race, ethnicity, culture, nationality and religion. They believe that Nigeria will soon attain the same cohesion as a nation. Have these Nigerians forgotten that the original 13 colonies that formed America held a sovereign national conference and addressed all their concerns, such as resource control, taxation, slavery, citizenship, personal liberty, defense, immigration, national currency, separation of powers, national budget, constitution amendment, the checks and the balances amongst the 3 branches of their national government in the 3 national legal documents that are known as the Declaration of Independence, the Bills of Rights and in the United States Constitution that all remain the only official Bible that governs the American nation and her people to date?
