Nigeria's stubborn decline in patriotism and citizen regime must be seen from current petroleum politics . My theory has always been this, without collaboration with members of our business community whose interest have been centered on goals with dimetric opposition to citizen developement objectives, there's no way they can iompede our collective resolve. With this in mind , it is obvious we need stronger sanction to manage resource from our petroileum income securely as Angola and China did to contain dangerous outflow of Diamond and public fraud respectively . It seem that the mafia in our petroleum industry can not voluntarily operate with clean slate to help citizens and government recover from the massive damage they imposed on the entire population over the years. Reckless increases in Petroleum prices inherently has immeasurable multiplier effect to disrupt every segment of the economy from hyper inflation to reduction in overall personal income from where it currently is . jonathan have consistenly shown unwilling apetite to use appropriate sanction to stem massive fraud and looting in his regime in effort to shield his peers whom he is well aware as much as most citizens know will be the first victims. We must become increasingly vigilant to watch the bases of our developement objectives so we're not going back to the era of meaningless and endless inquiries which take more fromn the treasury and deny implimentation of budgetry commitment
