Question Nigerian Media

or access to unbiased media in order to make informed decisions on who is to blame for their predicament.
Epiphany - you are obviously not a regular reader of "PUNCH" or "THIS DAY" or any of a host of Nigerian dailies who operate totally unfettered by Government interference and openly criticise and question political views and decisions. Western newspapers suffer much more editorial censorship than anything you will find in Nigeria.

Lack of education is also not a great problem in this Country of some 130 plus million people - most everyday Nigerians are substantially more Worldly Wise and informed than their counterparts in the USA - they still do geography at school unlike our Travel Agents in Houston TX
Everyone in Nigeria down to the Tea Boy understands the problem - they just don't know how to or have the power to implement the solution.
