In the US for example, Nigerian ethnic communities are as segregated as America was in the days of John Edgar Hoover. Everybody is in his tent except occasionally. Where there is no trust, there is no love, and where there is no love, there is no true living. The situation for Nigeria is getting worse!

PDP is the worst thing that ever happened to politics in Africa. Run by greedy, crazy people who don’t care about tomorrow, they destroyed many states, especially my home state of Osun…

So it is possible for a Governor to be sitting by himself at the airport without a gamut of mean-looking men in black blazers around him? Is it possible that with a governor there will be no gun-toting cops, no visible private security personnel, no P.A, no S.A, no C.S.O.?
