We’ve To Be Happy That We’re Still Together — Edwin Clark by jarawa: 5:39am On Oct 01, 2019 |
An elder statesman and former minister of information, Chief Edwin Clark, said there is nothing to celebrate about Nigeria’s 59th independence anniversary. Clark, who spoke with Daily Trust in a telephone interview yesterday, said many countries which got independence the same time with Nigeria were more advanced. He said though Nigeria remained one as a country, it was divided along religious, ethnic and other lines, adding that all hands must be on deck to end the challenges bedevilling the nation. “We have to be happy that we are still together; we are alive. But with regards to the progress we have made so far, I can say that there is nothing to celebrate because we are lagging behind. “Other countries that got independence at the same time with us are more advanced. We are the largest country in Africa, and there is no reason we should not advance. “In the First Republic, we were making progress. There were three regions; the North, the West and the East. The three regions were working at their own pace. We had so much development going on in the country. There was no division. “So, if today we restructure this country, I think we will be back to the 1963 situation where we had a federal system of government with fiscal federalism. So that is my position. “Today, there is no much progress; the states are not developing. We have a situation where you have over 10 million out-of-school children. The federal government has taken over agriculture but they are not making any headway. They have taken over free primary and secondary education; these are jobs for state governments. “So, as far as I am concerned, we are behind other countries. Today, we are the capital of poverty in the world; it’s a disgrace to us. But we thank God we are together though we are divided by religion and ethnicity. So, actually we have nothing to celebrate,” Clark said. Read more: https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/weve-to-be-happy-that-were-still-together-edwin-clark.html 1 Like |

It’s actually a sad thing that we are together. I wish the oil leaves the south and appears in the north, perhaps Pharoah and his people would let us go. SMH 1 Like |

Fuxk you Lord luggard There is no such thing as One Nigeria one way or the other and there will never be If you are learned and smart enough you can tell Nigeria should disintegrate at least into Northern and southern Nigeria if not more for things to work out rightly Nothing is well achieved without Unity 2 Likes |

Says the saint that has Abandoned mansions in states across nigeria he only visits once a year but they are heavily guarded by soldiers. There is one here in my state Delta. If he really loved nigeria ,d money wasted in these houses would have been beta invested in the lives of youths. P.S: Am not celebrating buhari either. I resent him more but some of our politicians are hiding under the misfortunes of the FG thereby becomimg immune to blames. Fayose,Saraki,Amaechi,fayose,Dino,Tinubu,lawmakers etc. These men are heartless,greedy,inhumane. Considering the economic situation ,they are still milking us. In d case of fayose n saraki,they milked and were terrible why in power. What did saraki do sef dat he is celebrated. 1 Like |
