Industrialization in the face of many challenges

Nigerian leaders in recent history have painted many pictures of their drive to creating employment for the teaming number of its unemplyed citizenry. Their approach has been handing over the industrialization train to the private sector like it has been done in most advanced countries forgetting that Nigeria is a developing country. This has lead to creating a cabal of super-powers who single-handedly can determine the course they want the country to take. A good example was when the price of cement was at a ridiculous height, one of the super power after some persuasions decided to lower the price of the commodity nationwide. Economic power like this should not be handed to a few as it creates demi-gods who runs the affairs of the large populace as it pleases them. Another disturbing fact is the fact that our privatisation drive is an imperialist plan force down on us which obviously has not in any way lessen our boarden. How can a country afflict with lots of unrest attracts reasonable foreign investment? Why will a foreigner not head to a country with a better comparative advange than Nigeria? Who will industrialize Nigeria if Nigerian’s don't? There is no too way to it, the way forward for this nation is definitinely not Privatization but effective management of our public assest, they nation need to be helped to get on its kneel before being left to fend for itself or else the few opportuned will continue to fleece the populace.
