The National Coordinator, Southern and Middle Belt Leadership Forum (SMBLF) and immediate-past President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief John Nnia Nwodo, has described a restructured Nigeria as the the easiest way to return the country to the basics of value that is needed to make the country great again.
Nwodo’s views were contained in a paper he titled ‘Re-evaluation of African Values and Culture in the Face of The Crises of the 21st Century’ delivered at the 4th Chinua Achebe International Conference at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), Tuesday.
Chief Nwodo noted that the distortion of “our cultural values have traumatized our society, and led us to ‘yahoo-yahoo’, cybercrime, illiteracy, insecurity, electoral dishonesty, lack of accountability, retardation in educational standards and insecurity which can be remedied by going back to basics through restructuring the country”.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has mocked President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration for trivialization of Financial Times Editorial which lamented the nation’s tragic descent to a failed state under the All Progressives Congress (APC) stressing that it has further confirmed its position that Nigeria is on autopilot with nobody in charge,
The PDP lamented that the Presidency’s conceited response to Financial Times editorial on the sorry state of affairs in our nation under President Buhari further confirms the position of the party that there is complete leadership failure in Nigeria.
The party said it is sad that the Buhari Presidency prefers to rebuff wise counsel and continue to drive the nation to the precipice instead of seeking help for the sake of millions of traumatized Nigerians.
