At last count Nigeria was listed as having 36 states within its Federal Structure. Unsurprisingly the great bulk of them(33 we now hear) are fiscally unable to sustain themselves.So there we have it, "resource curse" Nigeria incubates unsustainable states (every now and then) that bring new meaning to the phrase Intra-Country clientelism. 'State Governors' have no other role but to sink their snouts in a trough and thieve the handouts, while they apply no effort whatsoever to generating state revenues or creating wealth.

I would bet that the 3 sustainable states include Lagos and Kano. What do you think?

Ploughing ahead with the wrongheaded assumption that African Welfarism will ease the problems of education et al within the continent the British Chancellor is leading the charge to educate the mostly African worlds poorest. A grand gesture it may be but have we not been down this ineffectual path before? The Telegraph states "...the subsidies will confirm the view of many Africans that they should look to the outside world, rather than to themselves, for betterment. Put another way, they will allow corrupt and inefficient governments to remain in office, shielded from the consequences of their own mismanagement. Third, as well as infantilising Africans, they infantilise British taxpayers..."
