There comes a time in the life of a nation when it must
have its own soul-searching conversations, examining
its peculiarities as an independent entity with a duty to
define and defend its identity and take its place among other
countries of the world.
Such conversations cannot be left to the whims of the
masses. Someone has to take the lead. Someone has to make
the call. Someone has to bell the cat. Someone has to be the
voice crying in the wilderness, clearing the pathway of the
nation to Justice, Equity and Fair Play, which are the
foundations of nationhood or statehood.
For this not to be an exercise in futility, it must be a wellarticulated exercise, aimed at providing direction to the
majority of the people living in a Third World country like
Nigeria.
