| dc.description.abstract | Bad financial news is everywhere! With bank and corporate failures, stock market losses and a depressed housing market, rising unemployment and inflation. Simply put, from time to time the financial world fall victim to unbridled greed—the unchecked lust to make money in spite of great risks. True perspective is lost, as when a gambler on a roll thinks his luck will last forever. Eventually his luck runs out. This is the case of Nigeria on over-reliance on oil. Like the prodigal son in the New Testament, Nigeria out of greed and self centredness removed God from her plan and eventually plunged herself into prolonged economic recession. To say that the people in government are ignorant of what to do will be an aberration but more often than not, they lack the political will and this coupled with the Nigerian factor (deceit and corruption) any policy will hardly be made any sustainable. To achieve its purpose in this paper, historico-critical as well as contextual methods were adopted in order to get to the root of the problem. | en_US |
