United States-based Nigerian dancer and singer, Korra Obidi, has
reflected on her time in Nigeria, claiming that citizens function as their own
governments.
Speaking
in a recent episode of the One 54 podcast, the dancer said Nigeria has a lot of
potentials but was being held back by bad governance.
She
explained that citizens provide basic social amenities for themselves due to
the failure of the government to perform its duties.
“Nigeria is blessed. It has no natural disasters. They have been predicting that the
sea would flood Lagos but instead the sea is constantly being pushed back and people are building on the reclaimed land. Lagos is growing at astronomical rate.“There
are about 300 million people in Nigeria, majority of which are youths. There is
so much potentials in Nigeria. Tech is going crazy there. It is the government
that is hindering a lot. Most people no longer care about the government.
“In
Nigeria, you’re your own government. You make your own water, dig well and
purify water for your and your people. You get your own electricity, you have
your own solar or generator. You basically have your own ministry. Everybody
have their own kingdoms and just trying to survive,” she stated.
