“Where justice if negotiable, filthiness becomes delectable”
Tony Osborg

“Democracy, religion, education and terrorism have all become practicable norms all over the world – thanks to globalization”
Tony Osborg, Can Nigeria Bake Her Own Bread?

“Since Nigeria has refused to fully embrace the present reality as it is, that is; the importance of science and technology, the redundancy of religion, the need for pragmatic international relations, economic reforms, support of entrepreneurship spirit, etc., but rather, has continued to accept the world the way it has choose to see it, that is; the supremacy of supernatural belief over human intelligence, the sacredness of tribalism, the abuse of democratic tenets, inability to appreciate scientific truth, its desire to be lifelong importer of finished products, etc., all of which have become our reality, then one would imagine how soon we can attain self-reliance.”
Tony Osborg, Can Nigeria Bake Her Own Bread?

“Corruption is an inevitable by-product of the present structure of Nigeria's federalism. Once we restructure the polity into a true fiscal federalism, everything else will simply fall into place. Until then, corruption remains as official as it is legal in Nigeria.”
Tony Osborg, Can Nigeria Bake Her Own Bread?

“It seems even more worrisome that the world has become even more integrated to the extent that a country that fails to produce its own basic consumables will end up consuming its whole income in outsourcing them.”
Tony Osborg, Can Nigeria Bake Her Own Bread?

“Without doubt, our inability to design and implement a sustainable economic framework has resulted to our present ranking on the globalization index; a precious market to the productive countries.”

Tony Osborg, Can Nigeria Bake Her Own Bread?

“Can this Nigeria, without external support, bake her own bread, sew her own garments, drill her own oil, produce her own cars, fly her own planes, design her own cities and, fight her own wars? What can this Nigeria do? Or does development come through stages and Nigeria, unfortunately, still occupies a learning stage?”
