She wrote:

"In moments of brutal honesty, I acknowledge that Nigeria didn’t fail my generation. We failed her.

Historically, there have been other nations that were just as bad as Nigeria, yet their people turned them around.

Perhaps we should admit that we do not possess the character, insight, wisdom, networks, power, money and even luck, needed to change Nigeria. Maybe we should cop to the fact that we are afraid of taking on those who lead us. Then in humility, let us decide to support those who seem to possess the qualities that we lack."
