If you’re just returning from a trip to the moon or you’re back from personal session of unplug, the conversation in every nook and cranny of the land is restructuring. Some espouse the need for it and others disagree. A few align themselves along the middle. Others advise a totally different spectrum of restructuring.
Twitter user, Alfred breaks it down for the unbelievers, why Nigeria needs a different system. Yesterday.
See below:
Hard to believe there are adult Nigerians arguing that we continue with the current structure
(This does not include ethnic imperialists)

4-Oil is circa 10% of our GDP/Economy
ONLY 10 percent of value/wealth being created in Nigeria is from oil pic.twitter.com/O7Espeu2ZB

5-Over the last decades, between 60% to 75% of the money from this 10% of our economy's wealth goes to government

6-Our govt sources about 70% of its budget from oil, so essentially the bulk of this 10% of our national wealth is taken by govt
— King Alfred (@King_Alfreds_II) July 3, 2017
7-The direct implication is that its those in GOVT getting the oil money
The population mainly feeds on the 90% wealth created by non-oil

8-Ever wonder why it was only when the non-oil wealth(the 90%) started shrinking that we entered recession?

17- And the only way to force these men to work to grow the 90% of GDP that affects you & makes you wealthy,
is to change the system
— King Alfred (@King_Alfreds_II) July 3, 2017
18-There are no messiahs – No "good man to work for our good"
We need a system which will force a "bad man" to work for our good

The real obstacle
Quite frankly, I am not suprised.
The current structure favours a group and they will do anything to maintain the status quo.

Sad truth.
