But what we do promise every law abiding citizen is freedom from fear and all forms of oppression, freedom from general inefficiency and freedom to live and strive in every field of human endeavour, both nationally and internationally. We promise that you will no more be ashamed to say that you are a Nigerian.' ....and 40 years later look at the mess your buddies left... freedom!!! what a joke, inefficiency the norm, and being known as nigerian wasn't the best tag in the world ... He did caveat this at the begining by; 'not promising anything miraculous and spectacular'... Major KN was seen as a sort of hero, sometimes I wonder why? they were soldiers and had no business dabbling in politics, look where it got us. Now they can't even put up a decent fight against a bunch of rag tag rebels in Sudan or the ogogoro soaked criminals in the Niger Delta swamps ...oguro[email protected]
