The beginning of the present decay we are witnessing started with IBB. Economic, ethnic and political jingoists blossomed under him. We became a fairly used country because new things were put out of our reach. We were structurally adjusted to a life that was alien to us.
The country was bifurcated from 19 to 24 and eventually 36 states all on federal life support. The military had no intention of leaving, they manipulated and tempered with all sacred institutions of state. We now have people who don't even know that their loyalty is to Nigeria.
Public servants now became self and communal serving people. People just stopped working for Nigeria. The country became a dollar producing factory and nationhood took a back seat. The principles of greed became our operational guide.
Shamefully, those who should know chose the depth of their pockets over and above honour. We now have "motor park tout mentality bourgeoises" as custodians, writers and operators of our our lives in the three tiers of government. Governance has become a hustle
Today we have elevated process above necessity. Law above morality and crass materialism above humanity and our collective well being. We must of necessity go back to our base being
We must realize that we are first and foremost human beings before tribe, hometown, LGAs or state of origin sentiments. Our diversity is supposed to be the core of our strength and nationhood.
