Former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Professor
Chukwuma Soludo,has observed that Nigeria as at “today has never been more divided
than any time in our history.”
The former CBN governor, who made the remark in Enugu, also
noted that Nigeria is at the verge of breakup.
He said only big ideas can save the country from an
impending doom.
He said: “Ideas rule the world. Ideas constitute about 60
or 70 percent of the input needed to get any project done.
“Nigeria is a project, it is work in progress. African
continent is a project and only big ideas; ideas work.
“It is through ideas that any nation, any continent has been
built; any economy has been built, any political structure has been built and
transformed.
“Nigeria is at a crossroad. We’ve been ranked one of the
most fragile states in the world and there are nationalities’ questions.
“Nigeria as of today has never been more divided than any
time in our history and so the search for the big ideas is to help in the
transformation process that will really get Nigeria moving from point A to
point B and also, leap forward and claim its rights in the comity of nations…
“It is only big and transformative ideas that can do so.
And so in this Big ideas podium of the African Heritage Institute, we are
looking for the out of ordinary ideas, the missing links and the new thing that
we need to put in place.”

Mr. Soludo, your comments at times displays your crave for patronage. If any part of Nigeria is drumming the sound of breakage, its only the South East, your brothers. Therefore, you cannot be generalizing what a small section of the country is doing as what is happening in the whole country. I am sure your people CANNOT push to actually break away from Nigeria, with all that you people stand to loose. Its just some disgruntled and uneducated elements amongst you that are going this path.
