A member of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Benue State University, BSU chapter, Dr Ogi John Otor, has expressed regret at being a Nigerian.
Citing the numerous security crises currently ravaging the entire nation, the senior lecturer stated that the horrible moments predicted in the Holy Books “are arriving already”.
Ogi stated this in a statement he personally signed and posted on his official Facebook page.
“What a time to be a Nigerian, what a moment to be living in a dungeon, what a time to be a refugee in your own country, what a time, what a terrible moment, indeed terrible days forecast from the Holy book are arriving already.
Views: Visits 4 By Owei Lakemfa A country, like a multi-storey building, may not collapse of a sudden; it starts with cracks. The cracks maybe a symptom of greater magnitude that might not be immediately visible. They may be due to improper structural design and specifications, structural stress, poor construction or poor maintenance. The solution is not to deny the cracks or paper over them, but to repair them and subject the building to structural integrity. We are buffeted by empty phraseologies like ‘the unity of Nigeria cannot be negotiated’. This is by the very people who through their mindless actions, clannish, exclusionary, ethno-religious and regional myopia daily assault that unity.

A structure, like a country, is not a religion to which no enquiry can be made, or re-examined in the light of advanced technology and knowledge. So, we cannot exhibit the foolery that once a building has been constructed, it can no longer be rebuilt.
