Professor Itse Sagay, Nigerian Constitutional lawyer and former Dean of the Faculty of Law at University of Ife, joined Rudolf Okonkwo, in a discussion about Nigeria's amalgamation. Prof. Iste explained the constitutional make-up of Nigeria and how the country has evolved over the last 100 years. "The amalgamation was done for economic reasons. The Northerns were at a loss. This was done so that the suprless of the South could cover the loss," said Prof. Sagay. He acknowledged that the country has failed and hopes that the planned national conference can save Nigeria. "I am desperate for a National conference that I am not looking at his [Pres. Jonathan} credentials. This may be the last chance to save Nigeria. We need to grab this opportunity. If we dont, we can kiss Nigeria goodbye," said Prof. Sagay.
