Economically, technologically, etc; Nigeria is growing, whether you admit it or not won’t change the fact. Between 2009 and 2016, new companies were launched in Nigeria that disrupted their various industry. Examples of such companies are MTN, GLO, Uber, Taxify, Jumia, Konga. That is why entrepreneurs and institutional investors from countries like South Africa, China, Lebanon, Brazil, India, etc are scrambling to invest in Nigeria because they see the potential that we citizens don’t see.

I am talking about challenges such as falling oil prices, security, infrastructural decay, unemployment, power failure, corruption, fall in education standard, accommodation, etc. The average minds believe these problems can never be resolved and if it is to be resolved, it should be done by the government.
