Prof Sam Aluko, "south should forget presidency for 50yrs if Jonathan ....." The sun

I think some of the degree some Nigerians obtain should be reaped off from them, and I mean it with all responsibility. If prof Aluko who should be a moral resource in the present democratic challenges of this country can thoughtlessly and sentimentally utter such frivolous and unprecedented statement in the source for leaders in this country, of what benefit is his professorship. Now, this is not only to Mr Aluko, but for all Nigerian political and democratic “REPRESENTATIVES” and not leaders because there is no one day Nigeria has produced a leader, With due respect to our founding fathers whose foresight to give this country self awareness we have pay back with political greed, parochialism, nepotism, political and democratic criminality. Can Mr Aluko give a formidable statistic of the growth and development index of the 35yrs Northern leadership out of the 50yrs of this country existence. I mean 35yrs out 50yrs of unproductive socio-economic and political representatives of this country and not leaders and I think Mr Aluko ironically fall into this petroleum resource wealth minded money monger. Those they can partner favorably .

I cannot believe that prof Aluko can make such illegitimate, sentimental and unprecedented statement in the present democratic challenges of this country at a time when Nigeria is inadvertently sourcing for leadership that will reposition the country in her socio-economic and political uncertainty. If Mr Aluko who ordinarily should be seen as a socio –political, cultural and democratic resource that will mend ways for all the anticipations of pure democracy in this due season of this country can be frivolous, unpatriotic, undemocratic and parochial in his statement on the leadership of this county and not on the president, then whose opinion can the intending Nigerian source for knowledge. We are talking about 35yrs out 50yrs of the northern unproductive socio-economic and political representatives and not leaders, because Nigeria have not produced a leader, of course with due respect to our founding fathers who gave us the early awareness of our socio-economic and political independence from the colonial masters, whose efforts we have selfishly pay back with greed, parochialism, nepotism, tribalism, self-centeredness etc. Can Mr Aluko statistically prove to Nigerian the socio-economic and political growth and development index of this country for the 35yrs of the northern representative governance who called themselves leaders. If he does not repent of his non self evaluating statement he should be stripped off his professorship. Let us remind him even right now that the youth of this country have come of age to defend our native land the labors of our heroes past. Can Mr Aluko see that the north have failed this country in leadership. Does he know how much of the resources ( I mean oil revenue ) of this land has been wasted through fraud, a people who have never believed in DEMOCRACY but held and ruled this country with the barrel of GUN. MR ALUKO, be it North, South,East or West what we expect of your professor knowledge and wisdom is TRUTH that will bring the conscience of Nigerian politician Alive. Please Nigerian should call him unpatriotic reasoning to order. GODBLESS NIGERIA and WE LOVE YOU NIGERIA. YOUR GOOD DAY IS COMING.
