Nigeria, June 12 -- According to Milan Hubl, "The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory, destroy its books, its culture, and its history. Before long, the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was."

As Nigeria grapples with the perennial conundrum that often precedes the transition of government from one administration to another, one can only imagine how many cycles of transitions are needed to fix Nigeria. The Biblical proverbial statement, "can a Leopard change its skin," seems to clearly portray the current vicious cycle of backwardness, as the next administration is always worse than the previous one, no matter how much people loathe the previous administration.

It is not about the political parties...
