Nigeria at 65By Sunday OlagunjuNigeria’s uniqueness as a nation lies in its entity and cooperativeness, despite years of threatened balkanization by forces of dismemberment. The second uniqueness of our situation as a nation these past 65 years is the political stability that the country has recorded since 1999 to date. Many African countries are still under the yoke of military rule with its concomitant abrasiveness and loss of freedom and fundamental human rights. But Nigeria has matured politically these past 25 years of civil rule to appreciate the role of uninterrupted democracy in national development. At 65, even though not yet entirely Uhuru, there is ray of hope and greater hope at the end of the tunnel.
