This revelation takes the lead as my best quote on this special day as Nigerians celebrate the 52nd Independence Anniversary of a potentially great nation but corruption-infested country.
Below is how the elder statesman captured the reality of Nigeria:
"At independence Nigeria was far better than Singapore and Malaysia and a number of other countries of the world; but today, Nigeria is not what it should be and I think the problem is human; it’s a human problem."
- Elder statesman, Chief Richard Akinjide
