Common man In Nigeria is already living in hell; he cannot lose anything more than this hell.” - Sule Lamido




Nigeria will not break. It is too weak to break. Who will break it? The ordinary person in Jigawa or the ordinary person in Sokoto or the ordinary person in Bayelsa?  Is it the Ibo vulcaniser or the Yoruba woman that is selling kerosene by the roadside or the Okada man in Delta? They don’t have the capacity to unite because they are burdened by poverty.   We have taken away from them their dignity, their self esteem, their pride and self worth so that they cannot even organise. Up there, we (elite) unite, we sing and so we will never allow Nigeria to break because once it breaks, we will lose.

But the common man loses nothing. What is he losing? He is already living in hell; he cannot lose anything more than this hell.”

––Says Sule Lamido, Governor of Jigawa State
