Nigeria's government has been corrupt for basically my entire life. The inability of the country's people to establish some form of functional government is a known problem and has allowed room for these things to occur. This is quite the hopeless situation as outside intervention would not likely go over well and the state obviously lacks the means to prevent any sort of disturbance. Hopefully this will spark a movement among the Nigerian people to demand better as a people finally. It would be a shame that this had to be the catalyst. I've debated America based Nigerian friends so many times about the apparent lack of interest they seem to have as a people to mobilize against the corruption in the country, but it seems like it's a behavior that is rooted in the culture of the people themselves. I'm not qualified to speak in or on such matters at the end of the day, just an observer.
