Former Secretary General of
Ohaneze Ndigbo, Prof. Ben
Nwabueze, SAN, yesterday, raised
an alarm over the poor state of
affairs in the country, saying
“Nigeria is fast turning into a failed state.” Nwabueze, who spoke at the
14th annual convention of the
Igbo Youth Movement, IYM, in
Enugu, said the country was
already displaying all the
attributes of a failed state. According to him, “This country is
on the verge of becoming a
failed state, there are so many
failed states in Africa and
Nigeria is on the verge of getting
that status of a failed state. ”Before now, we didn’t know
about kidnapping, but it has
become a way of life. Did we
know about bombings before?
But today, churches, schools,
offices are being bombed on daily basis, the worst is that the
bombers are not coming from
outside the country, we are
bombing ourselves.
”A nation that cannot provide a
credible election for her people
is a failed state; in 2003, 2011 we
had no credible elections, yet we
are talking about democracy. ”A country that cannot secure
social and economic rights for
her people is a failed state. Read
chapter 2 of Nigeria’s
constitution and you will
understand what I am taking about, they are not leaders but
looters”.

Who is this one to conclude that a country as complex as Nigeria is a failed state huh? Professor, please tell us the contribution you've made in making things better. Enough of the negativity.

Continue to live in the delusion that Nigeria is moving forward. Truth is truth irrespective
Of the one saying it. The man have said the truth and wasn't the first to do so. Nigeria is not the only country that is complex. Saying the truth is not being negative. Just prove the professor wrong with facts and figures.

GEJ lackeys and adulators won't be comfortable with what the respected prof said ; that the elections of 2011 weren't credible, and that we don't have leaders but looters!


Thanks Prof for not being a turncoat or a political sycophant! Nigeria is not becoming a failed state, it is a failed state! When you have thieves as leaders, they steal lives!

Is he just waking up?

Prof. Nwabueze!

What a traitor!!

He is‎​ a disgrace to IGBOs!!!

Why will he criticise an "IGBO" President --- Goodluck Ebelechukwu Azikiwe Jonathan??

Doesn't he know that it's only Yorubas and Hausas that criticise "Our Son"??

ITS ALREADY A FAILED STATE. NIGERIA JAGA JAGA

He has been a Professor before your ancestors were ever conceived!

Call evil evil even if your brother is involved in it. That is what we call patriotism. With your type of reasoning, Nigeria will never achieve greatness. So the professor should start praising Jonathan and dancing azonto because Jonathan is his kinsman? Stay away from ethnic bigotry.

Nigeria is a failed state!..yes it is..but he is not in that position to declare such a statement..
so because his means of livelihood has been halted, he can now lament..

Dumb id.ots like you need to visit real failed states like somalia and Afghanistan, and should never be allowed back into Nigeria, so you can see what a true failed state is. Pampered, Stup.d, worthless idio.ts.

Is this dunce saying Goodluck Jonathan was rigged into power? Has nwabueze's father organised an election half as credible? What is a "professor" doing addressing an ethnically based "youth movement" in this day and age? Worthless, useless professor. You are part of the problem. And if you think nigeria is failed, why don't you go ply your professorship in drc or Afghanistan and see how far you"ll go, dunce?

Rossikk: Dumb id.ots like you need to visit real failed states like somalia and Afghanistan, and should never be allowed back into Nigeria, so you can see what a true failed state is. Pampered, Stup.d, worthless idio.ts.

What's with all the insults young man? Why not make your points to counter his claims instead whining like a biatch!

Who is this brainless imbeci.le referring to as a Worthless and useless professor? Your mental acumen is well below par! Son of a cumdumpster!

take dat: Who is this brainless imbeci.le referring to as a Worthless and useless professor? Your mental acumen is well below par! Son of a cumdumpster!

Your mother is a free giver you shiithead. F.uck off to Somalia since Nigeria is " failed". Stinking bastard. Or did Somalia refuse you visa? Why not try Libya or even Syria? Better yet Iraq. Are these not the places you worthless idio.ts are comparing Nigeria to? So try those places. We are already too many in this country as it is.

slimghost:

He insulted my country , so he deserves every insult. I countered his claims by suggesting he go try practicing his professorship in Somalia or afghanistan and see how far he"ll go.

dem_people:

Guy check yourself.

Its you who should check yourself. Have you met a real professor before? They don't make such comments. Professors I know and have worked with always try to make contributions. Even I, a common BSc holder, don't have the 'failed' state mentality.

^^^^^^^^^ rubbish!

u can only offer solution when u accept there is a wahala naw

with all the bombin going off in the north; just listen when their so called elite speak sometimes

so my friend i think u really need ur head checked

Can you imagine the audacity? 40 years ago when millions were dying like flies owing to his people's stupi.d decision to fight war with cutlasses, we never heard the term "failed state". It is today when hundred odd folks die in a year via bombings that we will now start throwing such terms about? Merely because some freckled white kid came up with the term to insult his fathers? Rubbish. And then mr "professor" pigsshit now follows along in true mumu style to infest us with the garbage? Rejected!

Even Nigerians are failed people.
Failed people produce state. People
perfectly described by Lord Lugard
since a 100 yrs ago. Looking at
majority of the youths in dis
country, one would see dat their hope lingering for the future.
Doomed forever! It's painful I belong
here.
