Some Nigerians in Diaspora Thursday said they were forced to leave Nigeria because of the inanities and destructive politics.
They identified leadership failure as Nigeria’s biggest problem.

They asked career politicians, who believe in money politics, to take a back seat and support entrepreneurs for leadership positions in 2023.
The group, under the aegis of Nigerian Patriotic Quest (NPQ), an advocacy group, stated these during their physical cum online meeting held in Washington DC.
In a communique released at the end of the meeting and signed by its coordinator, Ahmed Ja’Usman Tijani, the group said the 247 participants were fervent in their conviction that Nigeria could no longer afford to continue on the path of political decadence that had blighted the nation’s promises in the past decades.
“The participants also unanimously declared that as stakeholders in the destiny of this nation, they can no longer stand aloof; while some unsavoury characters continue to decimate and destroy the glory and prospects of this nation.
“We believe that working together, with all Nigerians, we can begin the arduous, but not insurmountable task of pulling this nation back from the path of self-destruction,” the communique partly read.
