Forty years back when the most of foreign aid practices and packages were conceived, the Western world thought the Third World poor because of monetary lack; a misunderstanding that though now considered to be false, has not been corrected.

Instead money is continually dumped into countries with corrupt governments who misspend the millions of dollars. The United States has supplied Nigeria with foreign aid for a long time, with little to exhibit to the effort on either side with the exchange.
Nigeria continues to be known previously for the violent and severe political practices implemented by its extremist military leaders. With the recent formation with the first true Nigerian democracy, the corruption which was a staple of the old regime still continues largely unchecked. This corruption stains most state agencies that may use the help US foreign aid brings. The availability of electricity is sporadic at finest in Nigeria; forget good clean water for any use, or anything decent to eat. A majority of common Nigerian people exist on lower than roughly the same as two dollars per day. Does other people see anything wrong using this picture?
Studies both abroad and also at home show that nations who receive the aid of others whether it is as goods or services tend to be impacted negatively, despite each of the world's good intentions. Giving food to low income areas often bankrupts local farmers; giving money to governments who will be surely going to divert becoming faraway from the needs in the common man as it can is really a fool's errand, no real may come than it in any respect, for it only props up a decaying system that would excel to wither and die. Most disturbing of most really are a lack of figures supporting a good relationship between aid and subsequent economic, political, and social prosperity. Billions of dollars are already channeled from your West in the African continent, and despite everything nations are only imploding from their own greed, poverty, and corruption.
Skeptics of foreign aid insist that inspite of the well-intended ideal of impacting the expansion and actions of terrorist groups by lending outside assistance to developing nations, little has actually come in the enormous amount and variety of aid that has become dispensed in the post-9/11 years. While some short-term aid might be effective, the majority of long-term aid projects, including those involving the US and Nigeria, are doomed to failure from their inception. Most aid visits waste in nations which may have a corrupt or inept government; and whether by accident or design, this kind of government exists in Nigeria though much continues to be implemented to get this to fiction rather than the sad proven fact that it really is known to be.
Nations like Nigeria are indeed needing aid, although not by means of money, clothes or even food. Nigeria needs jobs, the faith of the people of their government, as well as a sound economy which will grow and prosper in the years into the future.
