This reality of the time does not exist because Nigeria lacks capable hands to steer her affairs to greatness, but because the supposed capable hands had, either by an act of omission, commission or simply out of negligence and lackadaisical disposition overlooked the yearnings of the people. It is therefore not out of place to recently notice that this lucuma so…
