When and how did we arrive at this junction of almost of no return?
Who did this to the undoubtedly true “giant” of Africa and the largest black nation on planet earth, populated with some extremely smart people from all the corners of the federation?

Were we blinded physically and spiritually not to have noticed the early warning signs of this great calamity that is about befalling the only remaining Africa’s mouthpiece and alter-ego?
Or were we just behaving typically to the African stereotype of always believing that tomorrow will take care of itself even if nothing is done today towards shaping tomorrow?
Where and when did we take that last dangerous turn that we seem headed for the worse and plunging into a pit of no return?
The immediate future not even the far future looks very gloomy.
All prayers, all hands, all brains and all goodwill must be harnessed to avert this calamity and reset the national pathway towards predictable progress.
There is no more luxury of time for blame game, lamentation and buck passing.
We are collectively guilty for toying with the fate and future of the black race.
Only collectively can these issues be positively resolved amicably and of course with alacrity.
The choice is ours to hail or wail for the nation.
History will be very harsh to all of us if we miss using what seems to be a last available opportunity to make amends.
Dr P. Deshi, Abuja.
