Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is at a lost as to whether Nigeria is cursed or Nigerians are the curse.
In a post on his official Facebook page, Mr. Obi asked “Is Nigeria cursed, or we are the curse?”
According to him, “The past 10 days in Nigeria have witnessed unprecedented negative news, a level of chaos, insecurity, and institutional decay that should trouble the conscience of all the leaders.”
He bemoaned that “Our country is now going through troubling times, not by fate, but by our collective leadership failures that allow insecurity, lawlessness, and institutional decay to thrive.”
The Nigerian politician said each day confronts Nigerians with a new tragedy and a new reminder that “our beloved country is drifting amid a clear absence of competent, compassionate, responsive and responsible leadership.”
He says Nigeria, a nation blessed with people of strength and resilience, has drifted into “avoidable disorder. We should be asking ourselves: are we cursed, or are we the curse?”.
