What do we need their help for? The truth here is Nigerians like to trivialise their capability and fail to recognise their own strength. We must congratulate Ghana for a world acclaimed free and fair election. As to their help the answer is No!No!!No!!!. What works in Ghana has never worked in Nigeria also will this theory. Nigerian are never committed to their own things. They don't want to strive to achieve they only prefare ready made things that's why we've been failing in many noble initiatives. We had the grace to conduct a free and fare election long before now in June, 12 what did we do with it? We squandered the opportunity, now when others who prefare to do good and be patriotic are benefiting our roving greedy eyes now likes it. Remember that it has ever been like this that whatsoever thou soweth that youll reap. What a shame to a shameless people who lust after greedy money and corrupt wealth. Do a rethink and trace back where you went wrong my dear Nation there lays your solution. Not looking to countries that ideologically hates Nigeria even inspite of our charity and good neighbourliness to them. Countries such as Ghana, Cameroon and Cote d'voire are in this ingrate categories of culprits.
