Abstract:
The citizens of Nigeria havecontinuously complained of their political leaders as being
responsible for the backwardness and static nature of the country. This research is
concerned with identifying the real problems with Nigeria which has made her remain in
corruption, poor educational system, poor medical facilities and leadership crisis. This
is with the aim to identify what will cause for a change to the pathetic situation of Nigeria
as a country.This study adopted the hermeneutical method of philosophical research. The
findings showed that Nigerians are indeed the enemies of Nigeria's progress not just her
leaders in political positions. These enemies include: Political leaders, religious leaders,
legal practitioners, traders, contractors, educationists, parents among others. They have
acted as enemies to Nigeria through their inability to do the right things within their
environmentwhich include: encouraging procrastination, greed, sectionalism
anddeception in all her activities.The implication of this is that it will destroy the mind-set
of the present generation against the future of the country;for the present youths are the
future leaders of tomorrow.This research therefore concludes that Nigeria can be great
again if only the enemies of Nigeria do the right thing as this producesgreater impact in
the Nigerian society. It therefore recommends that for political leadership people should
not focus just on the presidency but on the senatorial, governorship, chairmanship,
counsellorship seats. Collectively, Nigerians can make Nigeria better through uprooting
every weed without fear of favour.
