9JA @ 56

Nigeria is well endowed in all sense of the word. The bane however, has been institutionalized falsehood and kleptomania, which is a direct consequence of odious and retrogressive ethnocentrism, mutual mistrust and hatred, and quest for self aggrandizement.

People in other climes cannot comprehend how a nation so blessed with both natural and human resources is still a sorry sight and at variance with modernity. For the fifty-six year old sickly, puerile and imploding baby, I pray for quick retrace to sensibility. Obviously, restructuring among other measures is imperative.

May God grant that the current leadership will have a little common sense to understand the times and move up on the path of restitution, reconciliation and Veritable Recovery. God bless us all. Happy celebration to all Nigerians on this occasion of her (in)dependence!!!
