Former Kaduna senator and social critic, Sen. Shehu Sani has stated that if Nigeria still lacks power supply, with all the rivers around, and still complains of hunger despite the lands she is blessed with, then we are the problem of ourselves, not God.
Sani told newsmen on Thursday in Lagos that Nigeria was not yet where it should be.
He spoke on the sidelines of the Inaugural Memorial of Prince Emeka Obasi, the late Publisher of Business Hallmark, with the title: ‘If this Giant Must Walk; Manifesto for a New Nigeria’.
In his words, “We are a nation of 220 million people and we pride ourselves as a Giant of Africa. Well, population is an asset, but what do we use that population for?

“ Why have we not found solutions to Nigeria’s problems up till today?
“It is over six decades since our political independence. Why should we still be struggling about power, water, infrastructure, about things which we could have addressed or what we should have addressed in the last five to six decades?
According to him, if Nigeria does not have water to drink and power supply with all rivers around, if there is hunger with the arable land around, the problem is nhfhdibot God but self-inflicted.
“Nigeria has everything God should give us. Where is the solution?
“We need to make a heavy investment in agriculture. Nations of the world today don’t joke with agriculture. Why should a country with such a climate, with such arable land still be importing food?
“We need to address the problems of our education sector. Most of those in power today are products of public education. Today, we cannot take our children to the schools we attended.
He also added that the nation needed an all out war against terrorists, with well equipped and funded security agencies, saying without security, ”Nigeria cannot walk”.
“We have all the resources and all the manpower and all the opportunity to make this country great. We are not a failed state. God has endowed Nigeria with all that we need,” Sani added.
