Sir: In his classic book titled, “Misrepresentation of Nigeria: The Facts and Figures, late Dr. Yusufu Bala Usman exposed many lies repeatedly told about our country. According to him, the campaign of calumny against the Federal Republic of Nigeria was meant to undermine our confidence as citizens.
The enemies of Nigeria both internal and external, are hell-bent on making our country destabilized, a banana republic.
The agents of destabilization premise their attack on nation-building challenges to ridicule the country.
These people can use even economic challenges such as inflation to create chaos in order to achieve their satanic agenda.

I challenge anyone to show me one country on this planet that is not facing one kind of challenge or another. Some of the developed countries we always admire today, they passed through furnace before attaining their present enviable position.
How many years did it take Britain from 11th century to the time it attained industrial revolution? Before industrial revolution, what was the structure of the English society? What challenges did they conquer?
There are elites who are peddling the narrative that Rome was built in a day. The same narrative implies that violence and war are the only two languages the government understand.
But no matter the intimidation and blackmail against us, we must never waver in our commitment to telling the bitter truth. We must continue to seek truth in order to counteract the violence advocates. We must be vigilant in defending our country. We must prove Ambassador John Campbell and all those wishing bad thing for Nigeria wrong.
