United States-Based Nigerian Dancer and Singer, Korra Obidi, ‘In Nigeria, You’re Your Own Government
United States-based Nigerian dancer and singer, Korra Obidi, has reflected on her time in Nigeria, claiming that citizens function as their own governments.
Speaking in a recent episode of the One 54 podcast, the dancer said Nigeria has a lot of potentials but was being held back by bad governance.
She explained that citizens provide basic social amenities for themselves due to the failure of the government to perform its duties.
“Nigeria is blessed. It has no natural disasters. They have been predicting that the sea would flood Lagos but instead the sea is constantly being pushed back and people are building on the reclaimed land. Lagos is growing at astronomical rate.
“There are about 300 million people in Nigeria, majority of which are youths. There is so much potentials in Nigeria. Tech is going crazy there. It is the government that is hindering a lot. Most people no longer care about the government.
“In Nigeria, you’re your own government. You make your own water, dig well and purify water for your and your people. You get your own electricity, you have your own solar or generator. You basically have your own ministry. Everybody have their own kingdoms and just trying to survive,” she stated.
