Former Governor
of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Professor Chukwuma Soludo,has observed that
Nigeria as at “today has never been more divided than any time in our history.”
The former CBN
governor, who made the remark in Enugu, also noted that Nigeria is at the verge
of breakup.
He said only big
ideas can save the country from an impending doom.
He said: “Ideas rule the world. Ideas
constitute about 60 or 70
percent of the input needed to get any project done.
“Nigeria is a
project, it is work in progress. African continent is a project and only big
ideas; ideas work.
“It is through
ideas that any nation, any continent has been built; any economy has been
built, any political structure has been built and transformed.
“Nigeria is at a
crossroad. We’ve been ranked one of the most fragile states in the world and there are nationalities’
questions.
“Nigeria as of
today has never been more divided than any time in our history and so the
search for the big ideas is to help in the transformation process that will
really get Nigeria moving from point A to point B and also, leap forward and
claim its rights in the comity of nations…
“It is only big
and transformative ideas that can do
so. And so in this Big ideas podium of the African Heritage Institute, we are
looking for the out of ordinary ideas, the missing links and the new thing that
we need to put in place.
