Erudite professors, professionals and statesmen from Enugu state have suggested that for the state and country to move forward in development, the people should be self-motivated to take the bulls by
the horns and individually start to remedy what they consider as clogs in the wheels of societal progress.
Agbaja Professors Worldwide is made up of the academia from Udi and Ezeagu local government areas in Enugu state, which are culturally referred to as the Agbaja clan in Enugu state. “In my view, the major problem with Nigeria is threefold: corruption, insecurity and the economy. Yes; corruption, insecurity and the economy; and these three diseases have been compounded by ethno-religious intolerance! A solution to the first two will bring about a cure for the third one,” Iloeje diagnosed.
The second guest lecturer and former Minister for Power, Prof Bath Nnaji, in his lecture dwelt on the negative consequences of dominance and marginalization and segregation, both as members of the country and in individual communities.Nnaji stated that while the south east criticize the alienation of the Igbo from the Nigerian mainstream because of their voting pattern, the region needs to take a step back and engage in some introspection.
“While the Agbajas, the Nsukkas, the Greater Agwu people tend to be more inclusive amongst themselves, Nkanuland is viciously polarized. This is to the extent that they have used artificial labels to segregate themselves. Someone from outside certainly cannot identify the differences in people, unless the person is told who belongs to which group because they all share the same color as black people and have red blood running through their veins.
