More quotes by Alex Ekwueme

"I prefer to be remembered as a good Nigerian who served his country to the best of his ability."

"Politics should not be a do-or-die affair."

"I have always believed that Nigeria can work if we have the right leadership."

"Nigeria, as we speak now, is not a nation. Our neighbour, Ghana is a nation. There is a very big difference between a nation and a country. In a nation, you have a sense of nationhood; in a country, you just have a sense of geographical space without a sense of nationhood."
