A professor of Political Economics, Pat Utomi, has expressed regret that Nigeria is still crawling, 64 years after it became an independent nation.
Utomi made the remark while reflecting on the nation’s 64th Independence anniversary, during the formal launch of the “New Tribe of Patriots at a Global Village Square“
He said: “This country with great potential at 64 is still crawling; it has become the place of domicile of the poorest people of the planet
“Foundation study shows that in 20 years between Nigeria and Congo DRC account for the poorest people on the planet.
“Ironically, both Nigeria and Congo DRC are amongst the most naturally endowed countries on the planet. Explain to me how the richest can become the poorest,.. because they don’t have leaders.
“When their leaders constitute an army of occupation, this is the experience of DRC and Nigeria.”
