Today, there is hardly anybody in our country who is not angry about the situation in which we find ourselves, but nobody is accepting responsibility, . .- Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

. .because the other person or the other ethnic group is to blame. - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria

In the state we find ourselves in Nigeria, the search for alternatives is legitimate, but every political experiment should be seen as a constant work in progress. - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

There is no geo-political zone in the country today that is immune from intermittent communal clashes which from time to time claim lives and properties. - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

The idea of cultural ethnic homogeneity is no prescription for forging a country. - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

We may speak the same language, come from the same community and worship the same God, but none of this suggests that once we have our ethnic or zonal enclave. - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

The question, Men and brethren, what shall we do? is an admission that there is a problem. But, as dire as things are in Nigeria today, we have not come to that conclusion. - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

Today, from Afenifere to Ohaneze and many social cultural groups, especially in the south and north central, . . - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

. .the consensus is that the problem of Nigeria has to do with our constitutional arrangement.

The argument has been bought by a number of clerics as well. - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

As weak as it may be, it is the Nigerian state that is restraining the demons that will have been let loose if it were every tribe for themselves. - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

The idea of cultural ethnic homogeneity is no prescription for forging a country. We may speak the same language, come from the same community. . . - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

. .and Worship the same God, but none of this suggests that once we have our ethnic or zonal enclave, our problems will be over. - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

Until we begin to run our nation on the basis of what everyone can bring to the table by way of taxation, we are not going anywhere. - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

We need to wean our nation of the distributive policies of oil rent that is at the heart of corruption and mismanagement of our country. - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

The problem of Nigeria goes beyond the constitution that has become a convenient excuse for everything that ails us. It goes to the attitude and values of the average citizen. . - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

. .It goes to our inability to deal fairly with one another just because of artificial differences. . - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

. .It goes to the loss of civility in engagement and it goes to the nature of leadership and its recruitment process. - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

Even if a country has the best constitution in the world, its efficacy will still depend largely on those whose duty it is to implement its provisions. - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

At the end, what we make of Nigeria is up to us. Devolution is a means to an end, not an end in itself. - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

In the state we find ourselves in Nigeria, the search for alternatives is legitimate, but every political experiment should be seen as a constant work in progress. - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict

#TheplatformNG #TheplatformNigeria #devolutionofpowers

For Nigeria to develop and thrive, we must devolve powers across genders and age groups, mainstreaming their concerns while amplifying their voice. - Olusegun Adeniyi @Olusegunverdict
