"I have never participated in any coup, but I have been a beneficiary of a coup. I believe, for instance, that we in Nigeria, on the whole, we would have been better off without coups. We keep learning, and we keep improving. I believe that this is the third election we have in this dispensation. I believe we are improving in the quality of people that are coming up. The first election in 1999, many people didn’t believe it would work, so, they kept away. Some even told me I was a fool." OBJ
The interview of OBJ in a recent newspaper publication was an interesting reading to me. Nigerian leaders like OBJ must keep the history of Nigeria outside the realm of conjecture. There are many lessons to be learned from him. Perfection is achieved by adding positively and removing the militating factors.
