The second republic was ushered in in 1979 with excitement for some of us who were making the transition between secondary education and higher level.

The year 2012, in my view, was a very difficult year in terms of the series of negative incidents that have faced the Nigerian people and nation. This is not to say there were no occurrences that, to a reasonable extent, could be said to be positive.
