Why is Nigeria Like This? A Marxist Answer (Part 2)

If corruption, poverty, unemployment and insecurity are symptoms, what is the disease?

Every time you ask why Nigeria is like this, someone tells you it is our culture, our leaders, our tribe, our curse.

WE DISAGREE.

Nigeria is like this because of class, because a comprador ruling class built and inherited a state designed to extract, not to develop.

In Part 2, we go deeper. We will ask:

• What is the disease beneath the symptoms?
• Why do the same problems persist no matter who is in power?
• What does Marxism say about the root cause?
• Where do we go from here?

Join us Saturday as the Naija Marxists continue to explain Nigeria — in class terms, not excuses.
