Sir: At this point in Nigeria’s history, shameful Nigerians should be ashamed of Nigeria’s situation. Why should Nigeria be a big for nothing nation...

As at the last count, there are no less than three distinct organisations or movements championing the much talked about third force in Nigeria politics.
