Nigeria is a disgrace to the world, says Gen. Danjuma

Former Minister of Defense, retired General Theophilus Danjuma, has described Nigeria as a complete joke and a source of embarrassment to the rest of the world.

General Danjuma said this on Friday in Nwonyo village in Ibi Local government area of Taraba State during the annual Nwonyo Fishing and Cultural festival.

According to the elder statesman, Nigeria is unfortunately a theater of follies and a battleground that leaves a bad taste in the mouths of people in every civilized society.

He insisted that in order to address the obvious insecurity and other vices that plague the nation, Nigerians and Nigeria as a whole must get their house in order.

Danjuma said, “the festival stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Taraba State that we cherish and celebrate with great pride. It showcases our cultural values and serves as symbol of our unity. Let us take a moment to reflect on the significance of the occasion. It is a symbol of resilience the determination of our people in the face of daunting challenges.

“Let us renew our commitment to promoting peace, harmony and celebrate the bonds that unite us as one family. May this occasion be a reminder of who we are and the strength that lies in our unity.

“We must put our own house in order and have peace in our state and throughout the country if we want this to be truly an international festival. There is no sane foreigner who will come to celebrate with us if we continue to disgrace ourselves as we do.

“As we are today in Nigeria, we are a disgrace to the whole world. The whole country is a war front of our people killing our people. We are a laughing stock to the rest of the whole world. We must put our house in order. We must make our roads safe and stop kidnapping people. We must learn to live together as a country and as a people”.
