Nigerians themselves have to get up and fight for themselves, nobody... Absolutely no one is coming to deliver them not when they don't have anything to gain from the quest. It's one year memorial today and it has dawned on most Nigerians and other well meaning Africans that we are alone in this struggle against bad governance and no one is coming for us.
Outside help can easily turn into interference as history and Franky1 outlines and yes as even BadDecker points to what the U.S. did in Afghanistan.
What would you like to see happen in terms of a prosperous Nigeria?
when the US came in and helped with "food aid" and other support. it didnt create independence and peace. it created dependants and anger.
"teach a man to fish" and instead applying the "give a man a fish"(and leave that man to fight his neighbours to keep that fish).. leaving locals to then not be self sustainable and then fighting each other over limited fish supplies. blaming each other for wanting fish rather then seeing the cause of their problems
There is so much truth to that regarding NGOs and unintended consequences
and even the perfectly thought out 'for profit' non-profits.
I liked some of the ways local service clubs continued support once an installment went in (solar, wells, ect) however it wasn't like anyone could get a part from a local home improvement store for quick repairs (at the time). Teach a man to fish and make tools.
