There is hardly a day that passes by in Nigeria without two things happening; one Nigerian ‘escaping’ the country and another starting the process to leave. That the so-called giant of Africa is losing the best brains that she requires to build a virile country is no longer news.

On New Year’s day, former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo returned to the front burner of the Nigerian political space when he delivered his famous letter to Nigerians. As expected, the contents of the letter were lucid, engaging, and controversial, and ever since then, virtually every political actor in the country has had one or two things to say about the letter which removed the lid on Obasanjo’s political preference as far as the 2023 elections were concerned.
