Now those were the words of former transportation minister Rotimi Amici while delivering his keynote speech at the niche annual lecture which held in Lagos today. While Lord and Nigerian nationalists who fought for the independence, Amici said genuine nationalistic leadership transcend ethnicity, plus to be corresponded love, Igoku Oyadokun was there and now reports. Eastern niche annual lecture, fourth in a series, the Yellow Revenge looks at the issues bedeviling the nation from economy to politics and how the country's democracy has thrived. Ikechiku Amici is the managing director and chief executive officer of the niche. He said the lecture was organized to get various opinions that who shed light on why Nigeria's enormous potential is not realized. Nigeria is at a crossroads now that train on the plane, all the indices of human development without any exception are pointed south. Yet everyone had hoped on the eve of the 2023 general elections that Nigeria was on the top of the new beginning. So why is Nigeria always stride? Filmed with stride and slide, leadership, nationalism and Nigerian condition, former transport minister Rotimi Amici took to the stage. He painted a gloomy but candid reality of why the country is what it is today. The realities of today confront us with some incompetent groups. Our democracy has eliminated the default government even at the local level is detached from the people. Our electoral system has further eliminated the people by its serial compromises. In all of this, the national elite has failed to strike a consensus on the critical minimum needs of our society. Because of them steps are eliminated and compromised. The former governor of River State, Tuco Swipe, other elite whom he said only raised issues to suit their interests. He declared that Nigeria is still on search of national leaders stressing that the country's democracy needs serious rethinking in terms of scope and focus. Dr. Uma Eliazu is the chairman of the lecture. He said that in spite of old problems a country is facing, the future generation still has hope. He however believes that men and women of goodwill must make all the necessary investments of time and energy to build lasting values within the next generation. We can be blaming each other from now to eternity that will solve the problem. The problem is a change in mindset. The hope that I have is that if we start changing the mindset of the next generation of people who will become politicians, we can make it. There was a consensus among discussants and participants that the issues can be remedied if leadership issues are tackled. The refusal to name names to punish is why we are where we are and why we're talking about the Nigeria condition. We cannot continue in leadership to continue to look at the other side and continue to, as it were, romance the wicket and expect things to be all right. As far as I'm concerned, I believe that ethnicity. Highlight of the event was the induction of the keynote speaker Rotimi Amici and Dr. Uma Eliazu into the niche Hall of Fame.
