Two time President of Nigeria in different regime, Chief  Olusegun Obasanjo, on Wednesday in Ibadan, Oyo State, said that the nation is blessed with notable men and women from different states and tribes who had contributed significantly to the socio-economic development of the nation but cautioned that it should not be turned into a country of anything goes.

Chief Obasanjo, who was speaking as the special guest of honour during the launch and presentation of a book entitled: Ayo Ogunsheye: The Workers’ Economist, in honour of the late Professor Ayo Ogunseye at the University of Ibadan, noted that Nigerians, who wanted to be successful in life needed to read about Professor Ogunsheye, whom he described as a man of many parts who played each part successfully to the end.

He observed that the late professor played parts that were somehow in opposition as a labourman, industrialist and distinguished scholar, adding that he was a great Nigerian who belonged to a crop of Nigerians whose records of lifetime activities were needed so as to put the  nation’s history in the right perspective.

Also speaking, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Professor Isaac Adewole, said the late professor belonged to the first generation of Nigerian academic staff of the institution who participated significantly in the struggle for the nation’s independence and better standard of living for workers.

The vice chancellor  said that the late professor established extramural classes in all the three regions of the country and organised workshops, conferences and symposia on various fields and later transformed the extramural classes to the Department of Adult Education of the university.

He disclosed that he later became the first Nigerian dean of Faculty of Education.

Justice Bola Babalakin, who was the chairman on the occasion, described the late professor as a man characterised by positive qualities, kindness and consideration for others, adding that the only lasting quality of a man, was his good character and urged Nigerians to emulate him.

Me too I still believe in one Nigeria. All those calling for a breakup, when the real war that would accompany the breakup starts, can they handle it?

One Naija united for life......

Walking in, seeing crap, walking out while rolling my eyes.

BeraBera: Me too I still believe in one Nigeria. All those calling for a breakup, when the real war that would accompany the breakup starts, can they handle it?

Everybody is tired, peaceful dissolution, did we fight to come together? So the split should be as peaceful as the joining.
