Where are we heading to in Nigeria!

Nigeria, a country filled with milk and honey, natural mineral resources in almost every state, overwhelming landscape, serene environment, yet dying in its daily economy affairs.
It is so annoying that with so much wealth in this country, the average Nigeria is dying in silence. Much wealth is generated in the oil sector, still nothing to show for in the lifestyle of an average Nigerian.
Power supply in the country is zero, yet billions of Naira is allocated yearly for revamping the sector. Our refineries are dead and almost forgotten, but we are a major exporter of crude oil in the continent. Manufacturing companies are closing down, and going to neighboring countries where there are basic amenities in place. Our health sector is collapsing with all sorts of fake drugs from China and India, the rate of renal failure and mortality rate is on the increase as a result of these drugs. Our Educational sector is at an epileptic stage, graduates are mass produced yearly into an un-employing labor market. The rate of crime is on the increase, as youth are embracing the authority that comes with the guns to seek their own fare share of the abundance of this country.
Our leaders are busy amassing wealth for God knows who will enjoy it after their demise. They have refused to put in place basic amenities required of them. The road network in the country is in a gory state, as it has become death traps.
Now, they plot all sorts of scheme, and come out that there is need to increase VAT on all commodities.
The economy is failing us, the federal government has failed us in all there ministries.
As one of the youth of this country, where are we heading to?
