At some points, this is alright, but at a lot of other points, is it right? For a man to leave his wife and children in Nigeria, in the name of education abroad and then refuse to look back at home. Is it right? For a young lady, to leave her good future here for a low life in Europe, America? Nowadays, South Africa?

While we have a lot of Nigerians who are outside this country, seldom come home, but communicate very well. We have a lot that would not just communication.

Lets discuss.

A lot of people called in. Some were not happy with the current administration. While some said prayers for the country. Some advised the president to forget about the 7 point agenda and focus on roads, light and education.

While it is clear that we are moving forward in Nigeria but rather too slowly, a lot of callers made it clear that the task of moving Nigeria forward is a function of values expected from the citizens.

Well, whatever you own opinion is, be sure others are reading this (listening to the radio programme), even government officials, lets hear your own opinion and lets join hands in moving Nigeria forward.
