Letter to the G20 leaders and investors

[Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth]

Dear G20 leaders

40 milion nigerians practice open defecation.we need public toilets, public baths and Potable Water

  .civilization started with the invention of the public toilets and water is life or is the most important of the SDGs. There are 135 milion  nigerians exposed to contaminated water or killer water.

Secondly, I am surprised Adebayo Adelabu is not  with you .he is Nigerias minister  of Power  nigeria has the worse access to electricity. The srory of the 20th century is the story  of electricity.we are now supposed to be in the 21st century.

  Dear G20 leaders we are not poor in nigeria please help us with the cooperation of lateeef fagbemi,the attorney general ,minister of justice and de facto prime minister of nigeria to repatriate  stolen funds.

We have 300 bilion dollars held down in Dubai,40 billion dollars stolen from nigerian national petroleum corporation nnpc and  Lodged in Texas,USa and very large sums too, billions Lodge in Luxembourg, cayman Islands and England.these monies can be used to save the planet  by reason oif mathematics education and reseach, science education and research, engineering  and technology education and resesrch.any thing can happen that could result in catastrophe  for the planet hence the need to cast our nets wider.we cannot afford to be complacent.

Space ship earth is flying into uncertainty. 

We are not   poor in nigeria we have 800 bilion dollars of dead capital as unearthed by  the professional services firm  , pricewaterhouse .

We are not poor in nigeria we accidentally  discovered  200 trillion cubic feet of gas it cost s 1.22 dollars for a 100 cubic feet.so that is an enormous amount of wealth.if we go in search of gas this time we are likely to find 600 trillion  cubic feet of gas!  Nigeria is a gas country not an oil country.all nigerias oil are but a drop on a sea of gas! Then we have solid  minerals beyond your wild imagination in all stares of the federation. 

Mean while there are 20 miliion  nigerian children  out of school,23 milion  unemployed, shortage of 25 milion  houses  

Despite our enormous resource we pay pittance  to our 9000 professors,  and 60,000 lecturers  and we have frustrated  our medical Doctors  with there are no libraries.no laboratirues or computers befitting our  1 8 milion undergraduates.   And it is

miserable  pay and miserable  conditions of service for . 

The larger body of nigerian workers are not left out.decent pay for decent work.

There are also 39 miliin like me living with disabilities.we are not captured  by government we perhaps do not exist in government thinking.

There are 7 miliion  babies born every year in nigeria and 60 per cent of them are exposed to jaundice with the result  they may develop brain damage,cerebral palsy,  visual impairment and hearing impairment.e.  a grace Humanitarian disaster.

Lastly there are 41 milion SMEs without credi facilities.despite the enormous  amount of nigerias wealth at home and abroad.G20 please help us bring back nigerias money stash abroad. I rest my case.thank you for your time.
