Nigerians Chide Leaders on Infrastructure Deficit, Insecurity as Lebanon Seeks Global Support
As the Lebanese government continues seeking support of global leaders and organisations in its efforts of evacuating people trampled in the Tuesday’s explosion that affected seaport at Beirut, Nigerians have used the call and world’s sympathy towards the country to chide their leaders.

The Nigerian Twitter community in the last few hours has been using the callout of the Lebanese leaders to also voice out about infrastructure deficit, insecurity, the need to reform the economy, poor leadership, safety at the country’s seaports and the need to vigorously pursue the war on corruption. Like the Lebanese, 50% of 28 Nigerians in the community want attention on infrastructure development and an end to insecurity across the country, especially in the Northern region and some parts of the Southern region.
