Segun OdegbamiBy the time you are reading this, I shall be in Oye Ekiti at the Seventh Convocation of the Federal University, receiving an award that will occupy an enviable place amongst my chest of awards collected over the past half a Century.
This one is special, and I thank the university for this recognition coming at a time in my country’s history that I believe will be a positive turning point in Nigeria’s history.
The past few days, in particular, have not been the best for all Nigerians. They have become victims of their own devices, presenting prospecting leadership that does not represent their best versions.
Directly or indirectly, passively or actively, we all have been complicit in birthing these dangerous days in our country’s story, a tale of decay and decadence.
