Nigeria

Even the Economist thought that Mahammudu Bihari, ex Prime Minister had tried not once but twice to build a better country but failed in the attempt! The Nigerian PM felt that in England the “rules didn’t even have to be written, they just worked!” In Nigeria, on the other hand, there was laziness and greed and since 1959 civilian leaders “riding the wave of black gold”.

Yes but even England had not always been that way. In 1616, the streets in London smelt of “dried sweat and sewage“ and “human skulls on spikes were regularly and openly displayed on London Bridge“ (Edward Dolnick). A lot of development had undoubtedly gone in after that and science had played an important part in it. Galileo had died in Italy in 1642 and Issac Newton had been born in the very same year, 1642, in England. The ways of Boko Haram absolutely would not do but science was still extremely capable of shaping Nigeria in the right manner so that slowly it would adopt the ways of present day England and its people.
