Nigeria does not need sympathy or aids from the developed world. We need a level playing ground. An opportunity to show that not all Nigerians are fraudster, scammers and blacksheep as we have been painted globally. @Wilfred You said it all. I quite agree with your point. Most of the funds been sent as FINANCIAL AIDS gets misappropriated or end up in individual pockets. Sincere transfer of technology is a better way to help.
