For those of us who have not heard, the Swiss govt, after 5 years of wrangling, incriminations and recriminations, decided Nigeria has met the stringent conditions it placed on returning the money(some $500m) acquired illegally by the family of the late of head of state. [please see
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4230884.stm ]

The swiss govt is allowing the money back to Nigeria only if the World bank certifies what the govt of Nigeria will do with the money. Much as I think this is a mockery of our nation's sovereignety- that is, we are told how to spend our own money, one has to understand that the "big-heads" in abuja, despite their vehement pretension towards fighting corruption, cannot be trusted.

After all, how can a nation reputed to be the most corrupt nation on earth claiming to be fighting corruption fail to convict a single public official accused of corrputly enriching him/her self? This is what people abroad think of Nigeria. A nation where govt says one thing and does something else.

My question now is: Through what way can Nigeria best utilize these funds that will do the most good to the most number of people?
-Oil subsidies?
-Primary education?
-agriculture?
-defence?

What do you think?
