The work of Nigeria is not complete for as long as there is any one Nigerian who goes to bed on empty stomach.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Nigeria has had a complicated colonial history. My work has examined that part of our story extensively.
One thing that I know and I feel Nigerians will celebrate is continuity and peace.
No one can fight corruption for Nigerians except Nigerians. Everyone has to be committed from the top to the bottom to fight it.
Nigeria has had the misfortune - no, the fortune - of seeing the worst face of capitalism anywhere in Africa. The masses have seen it, they are disgusted, and they want an alternative.
You go to conferences, and your fellow African intellectuals - and even heads of state - they all say: 'Nigeria is a big disappointment. It is the shame of the African continent.'

Well-trained medical doctors and engineers leave Nigeria to the developed countries. We want to reverse that.
Nigeria has no business with poverty. With our human and material resources, we shall strive to eradicate poverty from our country.
I've always affirmed, nobody's ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian.
Nigeria is a West African nation of over 100 million energetic people. It is endowed with lots of natural resources but lacks human resources.
