"In 1980, just after independence, military officers from Zimbabwe were sent to the Command and Staff College near Kaduna in Northern Nigeria. They were astonished, as I was, to find that, despite oil wealth, public services were shambolic, especially the electricity supply. They asked their Nigerian colleagues the reason why conditions were so much worse than in Zimbabwe and received the reply: "Remember, we have been independent for 20 years!"
