Mr Chuks Nwachukwu of Nigerian Chattered Institute of Public administration looked pained as he described Nigerian economy as a hunter gathering economy which is very primitive form of life practiced before civilization. He described a situation whereby the hunter represent the few sectors of the economy that is productive. He said that once the hunter return home from forest with the animal killed, all the members of the household will gather round the kill for the ceremony of distribution. When the meat is shared, The Village head will take first and may actually have the best part of the meat. After the village chief the titled men and the elders will take their own and the remainder will be divided among the hunter and other common men in the society. You are right if you have guessed already. The elders and chief represent the executives, senators and judges who earn several folds more than the ordinary man. Because the system is favouring them they will not encourage any change towards more productivity. He reiterated that Nigeria need to liquidate the federal government and restructure the country granting states more power so that everybody will participate in production and sharing accordingly. Well Nigeria is not suffering because of lack of ideas She is suffering because if the good ideas are implemented, those presently occupying high table where they do not belong will be forced to go to the front seat or back seat where they belong. Who will bell the cat?
