Something needs to change. They have a large population. That population values education. They have resources. Their infrastructure is lacking, but they are working on it. They probably should look at what China and India did in order to move forward, because they were once in the same position as Nigeria, including being ripped off by England as colonies. Nigeria being in BRICS with China and India presents a chance to move forward, especially with the USA being so trashy these days.

China had an authoritarian revolution. Turns out if you can control everything about 1 billion plus people, you can get a lot done. But somehow that playbook hasn't worked in Hungary and Russia .... Worked in Singapore, and kinda Rwanda.

I don't know what India is doing, but they have better GDP and PPP numbers than Nigeria.

It worked pretty well for the Russians up until the 1980s. I would not say what Putin is currently doing is similar to what the Soviet Union previously was.
