Nobody.
Nigeria is a messed up country that messed up everyone.
Even foreigners that join our politics become messed up just like this site that's messed up

Egbon... No need wasting good words!!! Let's just leave it at a single word: Nobody!!! Not a damn soul!!!

Politics and leadership are clearly not for most Nigerians!!!

We are in an era in Nigeria right now where we are actually running out of good people worthy of respect and emulation. Gone are the days when we use to have Nnamdi Azikiwe, Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa, Obafemi Awolowo and so on.This were all great Nigerians who were not corrupt and actually served their country well.

Even those whom we use to respect so much such as Adams Oshiomole, Femi Adeshina, Reuben Abati and even Buhari all got into government and started acting like the others.

So in recent times who are your stand out Nigerians worthy of such stand out respect?

For me I would say late Maitama Sule and Prof. Pat Utomi.

Op Nigeria is where it is today because of the founding father's. If it weren't for the greed of Namdi Azikiwe, Tafawa Balewa and co, we wouldn't have had a coup. If these people had actually invested in the country and its people instead of themselves, we would have had a totally different history. So these aren't great Nigerians but failed Nigerians.

I respect Tinubu for one reason which is his dexterity at raising technocrats and bringing them to international lime-light even though there may be some "ish" here and there. I also love Wole Soyinka, Pat Utomi, Adesina, Azikwe, Obasanjo, Pastor Tunde Bakare, Fashola and all our founding fathers that served tirelessly for the developments of this country and even Lalasticlala.

1: HRM Onajite Igere Adjara III(JP)
Reign:1986-2014. celebrated his 25th silver jubilee coronation anniversary on the oldest ancestral throne in Urhobo nation. He was chairman of Traditional Rulers Of Oil Producing Communuties of Nigeria-TROMPCON and Chairman of Urhobo Traditional Rulers Council- UTRC being the oldest on throne and
his first monarch graduate of Urhobo nation, his government cut across entire Urhobo and trompcon Nigeria, His the author of the popular book "Urhobo Kingdoms And Social Cultural Heritage" this book is what changed the British colonial term "clan" used to refer to Urhobo communities to Kingdoms so its generally accepted to classify our sub groups as autonomous Kingdoms and no longer clan, he was the greatest monarch Urhobo nation ever produced until his his royal passage in 2014 and his son installed as the current ruler but I hope he can wield the influence of the father. I pledge my never ending loyalty to keep your legacies alive old boy.
2: Fela Anikulapo kuti for his legendary music that promoted Africa and raised awareness on evil exploitation of white slavers and bad government.

General Sani Abacha.

Apart from his endemic kleptomaniac tendencies and gross abuses of human rights which landed his name on the wrong side of history, Abacha was a good manager. The rubbish you hear today that Boko Haram or bandits are laying siege to the nation or armed robbers are killing policemen in police stations would never happen. When Emeka Akaluka was beheaded in Kano because his wife purportedly cleaned her baby with a page from the Holy Book, General Abacha had all of them rounded up and killed...except one. Infact, when IMF and World Bank were busy sanctioning Nigeria, Abacha simply ignored them. He grew Nigeria's foreign reserves by more than 1000% and reduced external debt. He famously divided Nigeria into the geopolitical zones and came up with the Vision 2010, which Obasanjo refused to acknowledge because he hated Abacha.

Right now, Nigeria lacks a clear development plan for ten, twenty and thirty years. Only Buhari has shown sense by continuing some of Jonathan's signature projects. We need continuity in governance and we must address the issue of governing Nigeria.
Thank you Sir.
