The first elected Vice President of Nigeria, Dr. Ifeanyichukwu Alex Ekwueme has lambasted the Nigerian government led by President Muhammadu over the inceasant killing of Biafran activist, massacre of innocent civilians in other parts of the country, under the guise of preserving the unity of Nigeria.

In an interview granted to Channels Television during the 56th independence anniversary of Nigeria, the revered Anambra born philanthropist, unequivocally stated that unlike Ghana which naturally enjoys a huge spirit of nationhood, it is a blunder for anyone to address Nigeria as nation. The renowned Architect however noted that Nigeria should be rather addressed as a "geographical space".

Dr. Alex Ekwueme who served as a Vice President during the administration of Shehu Shagari from 1979 to 1983 before the administration was overthrown by a military coup which produced the incumbent President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari as the then military Head of State; explained that with the increasing level of extrajudicial killings of innocent civilians exercising their right to self determination, and government's inactions over the terrorism of Fulani herdsmen, it is very certain to all and sundry that Nigeria's unity is in a very precarious and fragile state.

"Nigeria as we speak now is not a nation. Our neighbour, Ghana is a nation. There is a very big difference between a nation and a country."

"In a nation, you have a sense of nationhood; in a country, you just have a sense of geographical space without a sense of nationhood."

"The type of things that happen in Nigeria, like the killing of people from different parts of the country, it will never happen in Ghana."

"There is nothing being positively done about national integration, and you can not have a nation just by wishful thinking; you have to work for it." Mazi Ekwueme stated.

Neither do we have a nationalist at the helm of affairs.

Ekwueme is on point but zombies will always have a contrary opinion in support of their fake hero who has turned NERO.

What is he saying?

Its ironic, that a man that muscled the Federal Government,to build the Federal Polytechnic in his Village OKO, instead of more developed towns in Anambra is throwing jabs at this Government.

As the Vice-president of Nigeria then,what marks did he leave in Nigeria?what are his legacies?and when he came back the second time and could have redeemed himself,he helped found the biggest kleptomaniac political party in the world,PDP.

Make this man sit down joor. Our people make proverb say,them dey call Meat,Kpomo sef come dey show face.

He lost the right to say anything meaningful a long time ago,when he gave us the PDP.

One has been Awokened by nnamdi kanu. As an elder what are u doing to free ur people

Why can't you address the message instead of foaming at the mouth like a usual lapdog

Can you sincerely say we have a nation considering the level of divisiveness, nepotism and insincerity since the present government came to power

I saw where he is classified as "RENOWNED ARCHITECT" . What renown work has he produced?

Ekwueme is an Architect, Ngozi Iweala is a urban planner/developer. They both have money,influence and leadership. In their lifetime, why is SE looking like a huge IDP camp?

You can never fail to disappoint, did you take timeout to read and digest the write-up before ur usually rush to comment as "Chairman first to comment" you are always in a hurry to comment!!

The way the British came in and amalgamated Nigeria was not for the interest of Nigerians but for British economic interests.

Between Lord Lugard and Lord Harcourt, Nigeria was caused to happen as a country but not as a nation.

Nigeria is yet to be a true nation but just a country. That is the reality.

There are records now to show that the civil servants did not like the approach of Lugard in building Nigeria but Lugard never wanted their suggestions to hold sway because of the lessons learnt from India where Nehru and Gandhi took charge.

The British did not want Nigerians to take charge fully and, therefore, at independence, we were left with three nations in one – Northern, Eastern and Western regions. These were nations on their own and after the amalgamation, rather than fuse them into one, the British kept them apart.

The truth is fast becoming apparent. Thanks to Nnamdi Kanu for this new awakening.

Here is his legacy;

Even the judicial tribunal (set up by Buhari) that probed him after the coup publicly declared,

"Dr. Ekwueme left office poorer than he was when he entered it, and to ask more from him was to set a standard which even saints could not meet."

https://www.washington.edu/alumni/columns/june99/ekwueme.html

On the other hand, going by the Dictionary meaning of NATION, thus,

"An historically constituted, stable community of people, formed on the basis of a common language, territory, economic life, ethnicity and/or psychological make-up manifested in a common culture."

...can we comfortably say Nigeria is a nation?

Please speak of what you know about and not what you don't know.
Ekwueme built that school himself with his money. The land was donated by oko indigens. At first the school was named School of arts and science for high schools then. Later Nwobodo changed it Anambra polytechnic and the name changed again later to Federal poly. Please don't come here to ditch lies.

There are many excuses for self inflicted poverty, and most of them are given by angry people.
Wealth goes to those who it goes to . live with it. ..but know that many are rich without fraud.

You're still immersed in poverty yet have the guts to talk rubbish about elderstatesman who made his mark both in private practise & government. At d rate you are wasting away on sycophancy, you may never achieve 0.0001% of what this man achieved. Think about your life & forget about buhari, he does not knw ur existence!

He looks so serious. Sorry Papa Alex. A geographical space is a Country and a Legitimate Nation, known and recognized so by The United Nations.

Nigeria missed it when Obasanjo won PDP ticket instead of Ekwueme in 1999.
