METI UKPEH, ESQ.,REFLECTS ON NIGERIAN DEMOCRACY: A RENEWED CALL TO ACTION As we commemorate June 12, a day that symbolizes our nation's quest for democracy and progress, I am compelled to reflect on the state of our beloved country, Nigeria. This day presents an opportunity for introspection, not just on our past, but on the possibilities that lie ahead. Over the years, I have witnessed with great concern the decline of our economy and the erosion of hope among our citizenry. There have been times when despair seemed overwhelming, and the thought of seeking greener pastures elsewhere appeared to be the only viable option. However, I have come to realize that if citizens of other nations had given up on their countries in the face of adversity, we would not have the advanced societies we admire today. We, as Nigerians, have a critical role to play in shaping the future of our nation. We must stand in solidarity, harness our collective strength, and work towards building the Nigeria ...

BY LAWRENCE SHEGUN AYEWA: MY RENEWED HOPE FOR NIGERIA AND REFLECTION ON NIGERIAN DEMOCRACY Initially May 29th but now June 12 is more than just a holiday but an opportunity to reflect on what was and is and might be. I have shed alot of tears for Nigeria over the years. We have watched our economy go from good to almost none existent.  I have lost hope and told myself Japa is the way but then I have pondered several times what if citizens of civilized countries gave up on their country and ran away, will Nigerians have had countries they are running to now to seek pastures new? We can stand in solidarity and build the Nigeria of our dreams. We can achieve the democracy we so crave. Desire of citizens in several advance countries sparked revolutions, inspired and helped shaped their society into what they enjoy today and are proud of. The country of dreams can be achieved and our heroes — Herbert Macaulay, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello, Anthony Enahoro, a...
