The ex-president of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo has laid his voice on the situation of Nigeria via his nostalgia.
The Nigerian money mogul vowed that bad governance has restrained Nigerian progress as he labelled Nigeria as a land flowing with bitterness and sadness.
He announced this while being presented with a book titled, ‘The Man, The General and The President,’ authored by Femmy Carrena, at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, The Punch reports.

In his words, he said:
“My prayer is that all of us will have something to contribute to making this country what God has created it to be – a land flowing with milk and honey.”
“Right now, it is a land flowing with bitterness and sadness, that is not what God wants this country to be.”
“We must change the narrative, we must talk to ourselves in the civilised language.”
“There is nowhere you go in this country that you will not see geniuses in any section of the country. So, why should we look down on ourselves?”
