One word of advice for your son if it was *Nigeria*

I begin to wonder most times how people manage their mental health and daily life and expenses following all that is shaking the economy and people's well being,  in recent times the federal government after seeing that the Dangote refinery has been completed and finally in use came with a budget to fund the opening of the abandoned government refineries thereby awarding billions of naira for re-novation of the Port Harcourt refinery after doing this the refinery still did not stay up to two months when it shut down again reason they said was for maintainance. The point here to me is that the federal government is showing everyone that they are not capable of handling, managing and maintaining the Nigerian refinery.
The problem of Nigeria is first the people acknowledging the fact that there is a problem then sought out the problem and profer possible solutions to the problems as to achieve a better and comfortable environment and society.
I cause of finding solutions to the possible problems faced by the people, Nigerians should also not forget the fact every one needs to play a role in the betterment of the country not entirely the government alone.

In a country where everyone is on his or her own no body cares about anybody ,  the government doesn't care about her citizens. The government instead of making decisions and policies that will enhance the growth and betterment the country and her citizens tend to be comfortable with things falling apart probably because of some selfish interest . Right from the countdown of  of the different Nigerian leaders from the first to the recent you will discover that Nigeria tend to fight against one problem right from the onset till this moment without still providing solutions even till now.
The fact that Nigerians are suffering from lack of basic amenities, high cost of living, insecurity and several other things that make the society very unsafe and uneasy is what brings me to the headline I saw recently, where the government borrowed money from the world Bank despite other unpaid loans, I wonder what this funds go into when clearly there is still problems of insecurity poor quality education, high tariff plans high taxations  and so many irregularities in the society, So that brings me to this question, where are all these funds channelled to, what are they been used for because clearly in most cases the government does not come account for this funds, when they are spent, how they are spent and what they are spent on. The people only hear about loans being collected by the federal government with seeing and feeling the impacts of those loans on the Nigerian economy until certain things are taken seriously it will be a difficult thing for Nigeria to get better.
Governmental bodies tend to channel there energies towards the wrong direction instead of useful things that will help better the Nigerian economy. Dangote refinery group registering into a union is not entirely a bad idea but what are the intentions behind the drive.
Tell me what do you think about Nigeria state your input and what   advice can you give for the betterment of the Nigerian economy.....
