We have disappointed ourselves; we have disappointed Africa; we have disappointed the black race; and we have disappointed the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He, however, added that \u201cwhat Segun (Aganga) has tried to identify, itemise and recommend in his book is the way forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the beginning of charting a new course for ourselves is to admit our failure because we have not always put the round peg in the round hole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are carried along by ego and emotion of self, selfishness and self-centeredness, ethnic and religious jingoism, with total lack of understanding of the world we live in and gross misunderstanding of what development entails and how to move fast and continuously on the trajectory of development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Obasanjo identified two of the major issues that were interrelated in terms of factors for all-round development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are peace and security, which we cannot achieve without justice, equity and inclusive society. And telling ourselves the truth, we have not done well on these scores in the recent past \u2014 in the last decade and a half.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will also point at the issue of education, where over 20 million children that should be in school are not in school. We do not need an oracle to tell us the consequences of that for tomorrow,\u201d Obasanjo said.<\/p>\n<p>The former President said the skill acquisition, empowerment and employment of youth would seem to be ignored or not appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Obasanjo said, \u201cWe do not need to look far for the remote causes of banditry, Boko Haram, kidnapping and other organised crimes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are living dangerously on a keg of gunpowder, driving more people into poverty through good policies poorly and thoughtlessly implemented or bad policy and no policy at all,\u201d he added<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Obasanjo said Nigeria has not lived up to expectation He said Nigeria has failed the world at large Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says Nigeria has not lived up to its potential and the promises it held during independence.
