Someone asked me a very interesting question the other day, which was “If Nigerians were to contribute money for a national cause, and one person had to be chosen to keep all the funds, who would you trust enough to nominate?”

I was silent for a while because I couldn’t think of any living Nigerian I would boldly put forward without fear. As trust has become so fragile and corruption become so rampant, it’s not an easy question to answer. So I decided to throw it open here.

Who is the most trusted living Nigerian you know, and why?

Myself of course, as I trust no one more than me.

After me, my siblings of course, because they have imbibed the same trustworthy values I have.

But in reality, I wouldn't put just one person in charge because that would be naive and silly. A committee of 5-9 educated professionals would be much better.

If I don't trust myself who else would I trust?

I am the most trustworthy person on earth.

Oya...bring the money make I help you keep am .

Nigerians in diaspora sent $20 billion to Nigeria last year. Just 5% of it can build a national gold refinery.
We need national gold refinery. Who are the committee of 5-9 educated professionals you speak of?
