“We are not ashamed to be answering Dr. Professor, Engr, Chief and so on big names, while the economy that sustains a nation went down the drain, and turned the leaders political lords and made others beggars. The arrogant habits have debased Nigeria in almost everything about humility. Running the affairs of government in Nigeria has become very costly. The authorities fix their own income. They make laws. They are the laws. The laws obey them. The finances belong to them. The nation is under them. They ride freely on her back. Nobody has the right to query them”
