That Nigeria has survived 100 years as one country is worth celebrating. We have been confronted with several very challenging issues that could have broken up the country long ago. Below is a partial list of some of the more serious issues we succesfully overcame.
* The Crisis in the Western Region;
* The 1966 Coup;
* The Counter-Coup;
* The Pogrom against t...he Igbos in the Northern Region;
* The Secession of the Eastern Region;
* The Civil War;
* The Assassination of Gen. Murtala Mohammed;
* The Buhari Coup;
* The Babangida Coup;
* The Annulment of the June 12 Election;
* The Interim National Government Contraption;
* The Abacha Coup;
* The Judicial Murder of Ken Saro-Wiwa and his fellow Ogoni Activists;
* The Death of Abacha;
* The Death of Chief M. K. O. Abiola;
* The Niger Delta Militancy;
* The Introduction of Shariah Law in criminal matters in some northern states;
* The Third Term Agenda of former President Olusgeun Obasanjo;
* The Death of former President Umaru Yar'adua;
* The Post-2011 General Election Killings in some northern states; and
* Boko Haram Islamist Terrorism.
Some countries were broken up for much lesser issues.
We have much going for us as a country. We are now Africa's Number One Destination for Foreign Direct Investment. We received US$7Billion in 2013 alone. With the imminent redenomination of our GDP computation base, Nigeria will soon be Africa's largest economy (bigger than South Africa and Egypt).
We have many problems, but we are definitely better off than many Nigerians like to acknowledge. The informed business globalists know they can no longer ignore Nigeria.
No doubt, the LORD has been on our side. It is time we choose as a people to cast off mere religiosity and truly be on GOD'S SIDE AND LET RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALT OUR NATION.
I am confident that the matters that divide us can be resolved amicably during the upcoming National Conference and we can rebuild our nation so that peace, justice, equity, prosperity and truth truly reign.
God bless Nigeria!
