Nigeria is ranked 37th in Good Governance amongst Countries in Africa

First I would like to commend Mo Ibrahim for this initiative. It is more than welcomed in a continent that has been beseiged by corrupt and evil leadership for decades.

What is sad about this league table is that instead of Nigeria leading the way, they are propping up the rest from the rear. It breaks my heart every time I read all these articles and I am not sure how I can help or if I should even bother anymore.

Nigeria needs to know that as the wealthiest country in Africa and the largest black nation, the future of Africans and the black race rests squarely on the shoulders of our leaders. If Nigeria succeeds, then Africa will succeeed as a whole.
