Perhaps it is appropriate and quite significant that as we set about embarking on the next 100 years [century] of Nationhood, we want to start with a National Dialogue. If the intention and actual practice is to enable us discuss and reach a consensus on the trajectory we want to travel over the next century, then this National Dialogue, in this year of the centenary of the amalgamation of Nigeria, would have made or would have had the potential to make a significant and epochal difference to our lives as a people and as a nation. On the other hand, if the intention, purpose and actual practice is to orchestrate a mere deception of the people, with a view to distract our attention from the serious issues that are fundamentally impacting our well being and existence; then it would have been an unfortunate and quite expensive waste of time.........
