Nigeria Will Regain Its Position As ‘Giant Of Africa’ – Walter Carrington

o
A former American Ambassador to Nigeria, Ambassador Walter Carrington, yesterday explained that the American government and other world powers were backing Nigeria regain its position as the giant of Africa.
The former envoy said they had confidence that President Muhammadu Buhari is an honest leader and “tough enough to turn this country around.”
He spoke while delivering a lecture titled “Nigeria and the future of the Black World”, at the First Eminent Lecture Series of the University of Benin, UNIBEN.
According to him, President Buhari would make life uncomfortable for the few Nigerians who corruptly enriched themselves to the detriment of the vast majority of the people.
He said, “As a private citizen Buhari lived modestly and since taking on the duties of president, he has set a refreshing example of financial transparency which all public officials should and must emulate. I believe that having been elected democratically as a civilian president, President Buhari will fulfil the third of Abraham Lincoln’s prepositional triad making his a government for the people, a government which cares more for the welfare of the poor majority and disadvantaged than for the unjust enrichment of the privileged few and their enablers who too often in the past have looted the national treasury.”
Ambassador Carrington, said his love for Nigeria made him to marry Dr Arese, an indigene of Edo State.

Igbos In Akure, Ondo State, Close Down Their Businesses Following Plan By An Akure King To Dethrone Their Eze Ndigbo

This is in protest of the planned dethronement of their Eze- Ndigbo, Sir Gregory Iloehike by the Deji of Akure. They have locked their shops and withdrew their services from the markets.

Iloehike, on his part, said he was not rude to the him, adding that he contributed immensely to the monarch’s installation. He said: “The Deji called me and I honored his invitation. But when I got to the palace, I saw youths numbering over 200 who started shouting as I entered. I suspected that they were mobilized by the monarch and I showed respect to him by prostrating. He threatened to drive out the Igbo from Akure and when I asked why, the youth descended on me. They tore my beads and removed my crown.”   Iloehike was installed in August 2011.
