" One would have thought that the circle of political crises we have gone through in the last three decades __ election and population census controversies, military coups and counter coups, a gruesome civil war, and religious or political-motivated urban riots __ should have lifted us to a plain where we could espy a shadow of a nation wizened by experience and stabilsed by self-confidence. But this has not been the case. No wonder there are today signs of much apathy, uncertainty, anomie, anxiety and alienation. From our trials we have grown in neither conscience nor competence in the search for democracy or brotherhood as envisioned in our national anthem. " ~ Mokwugo Okoye, ‘Strategy for a Stable and Sustainable Socio-Political Economy in Nigeria’ -a paper presented in November 1995 at a conference organised by the Industrial Training Fund
