USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: [NaijaPolitics] Re: NigerianMuse.Com's "Fifty Plus Fifty at Nigeria's Fiftieth" List of Distinguished Nigerians

A failed experiment called a country of 150million, that cannot identify at least 10 people of
impeccable character for each year of her 50 years of independence is not independent
but doomed.
 
A list that has tarnished the good deeds of some respectable citizens, by virtue of association,
is condemnable - It is an insult to have some of the founding fathers lumped with rogues,
homosexuals, pen-robbers, sin-nators, reprensentathieves etc.
My mother and Father, like millions of mothers and fathers in this amalgamation, live humble
lives worthy of emulation; and we should be celebrating those who "drove" the country to its
present improvished state.
 
True  recognition and celebration of individuals can never happen within the present day
juxtaposed geographical expression in this "Niger-Area"; so the song in my mouth shall always be
TO THY TENT O! ISRAEL.
