By   Augustine Kanu  and  Hart Ekeledo In less than ten years now, Nigeria's economy has twice embarked on recession. The first being in the year 2010; shortly  after  the change in government of United States of America, which saw  the now outgoing president Barack Obama of the Democrats party taking over leadership from president George Bush of the Republicans.
