People who don't live in Nigeria would prolly find it hard to give answers to your question, thus majority of the replies on this topic would prolly be from Nigerians, the more reason why you should have posted it in our local board.

Having said that, hardship exists in many parts of the world/in other countries, though third world countries like ours are faced with more challenges. Insecurity, terrible economic policies, bad leaders/poor decision makers, corruption, lack of local production, wastage of the country's resources, etc, all of these is just to mention a few, but the culmination of all of these and more is why the country is in the state it is right now. It is going to be extremely difficult to solve our problems, but we have to start by electing good leaders and people in public offices.
