Personally, i feel Ghaddafi's statement may be inflammatory and a little bit out of order, but it is also brutally honest. What he has done is merely to voice the thoughts of so many Nigerians. Frederick Forsythe said it well in his book the Making of An African Legend that in truth, the country Nigeria has only existed in name only. Look at the constant carnage of recycled violence between the Chrsitians and muslims. Many innocent lives have been lost in the name of religion. Some will argue that even in US, there is racial tension which manifested intself in the Los Angeles riots. It may be so but yet in Nigeria, the violence is so rampant to become as common as a road pot hole. We should either learn to live together or to live separately.

Not too long ago, a group in the United States of America predicted that Nigeria would become a failed state by 2015 and later reviewed it to 2013. Looking at the current trend of events in the country in recent times, Nigeria may actually be moving towards the precipice just as Ghaddafi said, unless urgent steps are taken to halt the drift towards disintegration.

As for you Honourable Members who are just a bunch of noisemakers, except for the unique dictionary of the House, Honorable Patrick Obahiagbon, whose comment i strongly welcome, please do not blame Ghaddafi for his honest utterances. Blame yourselves for your inadequacy in adressing the problems of Nigeria. You guys paid lip service when the media reported that Libya was brutalizing Nigerians. Now that Ghaddafi has made a statement, you are recalling the ambassador to Libya. Hogwash! Stop chasing shadows. Ghaddafi is not the problem. We are. The truth is your concern is what the disintegration of Nigeria will do to your pockets and power.

Please do your work and then decide whether this country still wants or needs to be together.

What is annoying me is that our so-called Senators in the National Assembly spent well over two hours discussing Ghadaffi's statement. Does it mean that there are no pressing issue of National importance than to discuss one man's opinion.
