Should I advise you? This kind of discussion should be written in your local thread for effective discussion. Though I don't know your country, nevertheless, you sound like a typical Nigerian. What you wrote will be strange to many people, even to those people living in a poor country because the corruption allegation may not be so obvious/pronounced as much as you alleged in their countries.

This type of thing is not only prominent in Nigeria. I am not sure if OP is nigerian but it also sounded relatable to me and I am from Asia. We have always wondered why the government seemed to prioritize doing useless things over solving actual problems.

Oh, Asia, agreed. Still, can you tell me the part of Asia you are talking about? Just to relate what the OP narrated to what is happening or happened
in the country. Regardless, before the last administration in Nigeria towards the time of the general election, the CBN governor did a thing that was believed to be political. He did it so that there would not be an undue advantage for any candidate in a way that would not encourage vote buying that is plaguing the Nigerian electoral system.

He actually changed the face of the national currency towards that time, banned the old notes and made them useless because the old notes were believed to have been hoarded in their trillions at that time. This eventually worked, as it reduced vote buying and even reduced kidnapping which is another epidemic in the country. But there were panics as well due to the careless way he handled it. This caused the whole country to experience a cash crunch and it affected the economy, it was indeed bitting.

I experienced this, which was why know. But this section of the forum is global, how many people would know?
