Starting Point

“I am pleased to see that we are now all agreed that the Federal system is, under present conditions, the only sure basis on which Nigeria will remain united. We must recognize our diversity and the peculiar conditions under which the different tribal communities live in this country.”

– Tafawa Balewa, 1957

“One of the monsters which menaced the public life of this country up to 14th January, this year (1966) is OPPORTUNISM with its attendant evils of jobbery, venality, corruption, and unabashed self-interest. … a truly public-spirited person should accept public office not for what he can get for himself — such as the profit and glamour of office — but for the opportunity which it offers him of serving his people to the best of his ability, by promoting their welfare and happiness.”

Chief Obafemi Awolowo in letter from prison to Major General John Thomas Aguiyi-Ironsi, March 28, 1966

“The reason agitations are going on in this country is because certain people feel they are marginalized, but I know that the whole country is marginalized because of bad governance and corruption.” 

Chief Frank Kokori, Former General Secretary, National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers Union (NUPENG)

“I therefore call on our governments and lawmakers to heed the growing warning signs of potential national disaster by agreeing to adopt a restructured true federalism which I believe will provide the best basis for the realisation of the Nigerian nation that we all desire.” 

Chief Emeka Anyaoku, former Secretary General of the Commonwealth

  11. You actually make it seem really easy together with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something that I believe
    I’d never understand. It sort of feels too complicated and extremely
    wide for me. I’m taking a look forward to your next put up,
    I will try to get the cling of it!

  12. Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my
    4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off
    topic but I had to tell someone!
