Ex-minister predicts Nigeria’s future, and it’s not good news

Fani-Kayode also said that the country’s fate was sealed by the British when it was amalgamated in 1914.

Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has said that Nigeria is destined to fail.

The former minister made the comments on Tuesday, September 15, 2015, via a Facebook post titled “The 9th Earl of Bathrust and the Nigerian State.”

He wrote:

“The Nigeria that they (British) handed over to us in 1960 was nothing but an unworkable artificial state and a poisoned chalice. It was destined to fail right from the outset.”

“Worse still, they handed us that poisoned chalice with a malicious and mischievous intent and without any recourse to our people in terms of any form of a national referendum.”

“The British did the same thing in varying degrees when they left virtually each and every one of their other third world colonies. The most obvious cases, however, were Nigeria, Sudan, India and the nation that was formerly known as Malaya.”

“Every one of these four countries had monumental problems with sustaining their unity after independence and all of them, with the exception of Nigeria, were compelled to breakup into smaller entities before they could bring out the best in themselves as a people and fully exercise their human potential.”

“Consequently, India broke up into three and became India, Pakistan and Bangladesh; the Sudan broke into two and became Southern Sudan and the Sudan and Malaya broke into two and became Malaysia and Singapore. Nigeria has yet to find the courage and fortitude to go that far and whether we will eventually break up or not remains to be seen.”

Fani-Kayode had also previously said that Nigeria is encountering problems due to the satanic foundation it was built on by its first Governor-General, Lord Fredrick Lugard and his wife, Florence.
