Former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has identified mismanagement of diversity as the root of Nigeria’s problem, saying without justice, equity and fairness, there can be no peace, not only in Nigeria but anywhere in the world.
He said having been involved in peacemaking and mediation over the years, he realised that peace, security, and stability were essential ingredients of development. “And of course, you will not get performance without development,” he said.
Obasanjo, who spoke at the National Daily Award in Lagos also attributed Nigeria’s problem to wrong choices that its leaders have made in the past. He said at the time Nigeria was admitted into the United Nations Organisation (UN), it was described as a giant in the Sun, but lamented that the country had not lived up to that tag.
