Today, we live in a country of fantastic contradictions. We have great human and material resources, yet, we are always on the list of countries with the worst poverty index. Our economy is alleged to be growing but the lives of the majority of our citizens do not convey this testimony; we have more places of worship per square meter than most nations on this earth, yet, corruption and violence threaten our very survival; we have some of the best agricultural lands in the world but we import food. We are the sixth largest producer of crude oil, but we import fuel; we have lived together as a nation for a hundred years, yet, daily, you hear stories of threats of our impending breaking up. One can go on and on because the list is endless.” .....statement credited to Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, Speaker Nigerian HOR
