Failed State: Is Obasanjo Right or Wrong? - THISDAYLIVE

Did you not hear of how former President Olusegun Obasanjo unsettled the presidential Villa with his uncharitable declaration, saying that Nigeria was tilting towards becoming a failed state? That we are now more divided than ever before? Can you imagine that unpatriotic zest from an unlikely quarters?Did you really listen to the resolution from that summit? Tell me what part of the published resolution is a misrepresentation of facts as they are in the Nigeria of today.

.. Enough! Admit you are also unpatriotic. In fact you could be accused of delivering hate speech. Many of you take utmost joy in running down your country, as if you have another. You’d rather see the nation’s cup as half empty than see it as half full. Look, Nigeria is marching forward, despite what people like you think.

You talk as if you do not know that the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything in the world economy. Do you think Nigeria will be an exception? Have you not seen how other countries are struggling to stabilize?
