 Foreign Affairs expert Professor Baba Femi Badejo has berated the federal government for the delay in the evacuation of stranded Nigerians from crisis-torn Sudan. Professor Badejo, who spoke on our flagship news bulletin, insisted that the government which thinks the people would have said machinery is in motion before the escalation of the crisis in Sudan. I don't think they are serious personally if it has gone on now for well over a week and we are still planning it leaves more to be desired. And to say to people to stay indoors because there will be no evacuation. Government are aware of what it's talking about. The country is breaking down. People are being sought in houses and whatever and being harassed and treated in different ways. The nationals themselves are running to their village. The government was saying stay indoors. Inside which does? The doors that are being shelled by the two sides in the crisis in Sudan. A number of people have killed, have been killed, including some United Nations staff members. We don't know because government can hardly account for its citizens anywhere. It is usual. I was outside for almost 24 years. You have to cater for yourself for everything. It's like you are not fun. They set up offices and claim that offices are doing something, a diaspora, these, that. These are jobs for them. Professor Badejo blamed external dynamics among office for the many challenges but definitely the African continent. We are not the only ones that were colonized. The Asians were also colonized and quite a number of them are able to wriggle their way in the world overall with appropriate determined leadership that is not corrupt. So find a way to ensure that the external dynamics pressures are not totally destructive that they are not able to do much and they continue to play the survival role. And saying our friends in Europe, our friends in America, who are your friends? The people are interested in taking care of their own interests and you have to take care of yours. And we don't have a leadership that is able to figure that out. We had a set of leadership as we were getting independence who were trying in all this. Then the militaries took over in quite a reasonable portion of Africa, including Sudan. Sudan is made up of Africans, Arabs and a range of that, the mixture of that. And somehow 2003 started the four crises that became a full blown war in which hundreds of thousands of people were killed. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
