ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT – A hard look at the state of Nigeria’s shipping sector

71IyZA9zUxL._SL1360_

A journalist’s account of how the growth of Nigeria’s shipping sector is impaired by politics and inconsistent policies. Arrested Development takes a hard look at the state of Nigeria‘s shipping sector and concludes that the sector has failed to live up to expectation. Inconsistent government policies, mediocrity, poor planning, and a general lack of understanding of the role of shipping in national development have all contributed to the sorry state of the shipping sector.

The author traced the history of Nigeria‘s shipping sector from the precolonial era to the present time and concludes that a lot more needs to be done if meaningful development of the sector is to be attained.  This book is available on Amazon http://www.amazon.de/Arrested-Development-Journalists-Nigerias-Inconsistent/dp/1477238212

Many have argued the case for and against the removal of oil subsidy.  Nigeria is a country with many bright minds, intellects and a diverse culture. It’s not so much of what divides us, but that which unites us can find common ground ~Princess Asha.

Corruption, Greed and Power,  an unseemly parasites that corrode our country.  Conspiracy theory? Think again! Oversize government, security concerns, lack of good infrastructures and wasteful spending has crippled the economy, while unemployment is the underlying cause of  juvenile and adult delinquencies. The question then becomes, who is to blame? Well, there is enough to go around, ultimately  “The Buck Stops Here“!  Nigerians should engage in a constructive dialogue and say no to corruption.
