"Nigeria is an imploded society which has socially and economically shrunk to a point of recurrent and generalized malfunction because a great deal of its vitality has evaporated as a result of an extensive degradation of its social values and economic capabilities. One only needs to keep both eyes open to observe in one’s daily surrounding the multiplication of supporting evidences as well as the depth to which the disease has penetrated our society." - Richard Akinjide on the occasion of Nigeria's 52nd independence day anniversary. Icheoku says 'beeni' and couldn't agree with the high chief more. The worst case is that the supposed leadership has not identified the fundamental problem militating against Nigeria's awakening and by necessary implication could not succinctly articulate the way forward out of the malaise. Icheoku posits what is 52 years of life if it was a life lived so far without meaning.
