It is disheartening to say the least for some Nigerians to think that what we need as a Nation is "any" Government. Obasanjo had the effrontery (on the David Frost show) to say that Nigeria needed just a President to hold it together and not a president to provide good governance, social amenities and economic growth. He was proud to acknowledge the fact that he did nothing to improve the nation. Though he was selected and not elected. Obasanjo, plunged Nigeria into this current messy situation; contrary to across the board expectations nationwide because he had all the goodwill from the people: his days in prison and his experiences as both head of state and army general to get Nigeria back on track. He would have been placed with great African leaders like Mandela of South-Africa but NO!! he chose to bankrupt the country financially, morally and introduced politics of hate, manipulating, single party dominance and witch hunting. Very few were his achievements which were over shadowed by the myriad of problems his 8 horrible years brought the nation.
If successive governments congratulate themselves for keeping the nation together as their highest achievements while in office then, I will reconsider a splint of the country into many sovereign entities. Nigeria is a failed state by many indications and nothing is done to revert this.
We the Nigeria people deserve better.

My comment to this would have the following content: "An edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring" or as J.F. Kennedy once said and it applies so well to the nation in question "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable".
