On Women bord On May thirty first, nineteen fifty two,

50
00:02:18,919 –> 00:02:21,719
had their career that spanned over four decades. She was

51
00:02:21,759 –> 00:02:25,520
not only a renowned singer and songwriter, but also an actress, journalist,

52
00:02:25,639 –> 00:02:29,319

55
00:02:36,840 –> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: Weeks Before the Pool, The BBC and Nigerian television asked

56
00:02:40,919 –> 00:02:44,000
me to report as a Nigerian television journalist and the

57
00:02:44,080 –> 00:02:49,280
situation in my country recently. Like many Nigerians, I’ve felt

58
00:02:49,719 –> 00:02:53,599
prostrated and saddened by what has happened to us. We’ve

59
00:02:53,599 –> 00:02:57,800
had our independence more than twenty years by third world standards,

60
00:02:57,879 –> 00:03:01,240
we have a well educated elite, we had a productive

61
00:03:01,240 –> 00:03:05,000
farming economy, we have minerals, and we discovered a few

62
00:03:05,039 –> 00:03:07,319
years ago that we had oil, a lot of oil.

63
00:03:08,159 –> 00:03:10,800
Yet today we’re importing food that we should be growing.

64
00:03:11,439 –> 00:03:14,199
We are a bankrupt nation and we have an international

65
00:03:14,280 –> 00:03:17,840
reputation for large scale corruption. Many of our people are

66
00:03:17,879 –> 00:03:22,960
unhappy and some even hungry. What has gone wrong? This

67
00:03:23,120 –> 00:03:25,639
is what I set out to explore. We sense that

68
00:03:25,840 –> 00:03:28,479
change had to come to our nation, that our people

69
00:03:28,599 –> 00:03:32,479
wouldn’t continue to accept the inefficient, corrupt civilian government of

70
00:03:32,560 –> 00:03:33,520
President Daggery.
