National Value, The Solution To Nigeria And Africa Problem by reedonne: 1:39pm On Aug 06, 2014
Whenever we are talking about Nigeria's problem, what comes to mind are corruption, tribalism, etc. But are these problem our real problem, I dont think so.
National value
There cant be a nation without a national value and pride. National value can solve our problem easily because
1)National value create a national pride, national value make people to be proud of their value which means national pride, this national pride can will also lead to patroism
2)National pride will make everybody work for the development of their nation because national pride make people to want to feel superior to others, and to feel superior, national pride force people to work for the development of the society. Even a dictator will work for the development of his country if he have a national pride while a democrat will wont care about his country if he doesnt have national pride.

We should create a federalism of ethnic groups, each ethnic group should be responsible for its welfare including security, while a central goverment should be responsible for building a strong and united country. The ethnics should be so powerful that the central goverment shouldnt be able to send military into any ethnic land without the consent of the ethnic and in time of state of emergency, both the ethnic and federal govt should have equal power over the military

With the welfare of each ethnic on its own shoulder, the people of each ethnic will start a cold war to become the most developed ethnic in the country and this will reduce corruption, and it will also improve unity because a northerner wont blaim a southern leader for their problem and vice versa.

Can we create a national value?

If lack of national value is our main problem, can we create one?.
No, we cant, but most people living in every african country have an ethnic value, this ethnic value can make us unpatriotic, It block our sense of reasoning many times, and sometimes it cause tribalism.
If National value cannot be created, why not use this ethnic value to create national value, why not make patroism to your ethnic means the same as patriosm.
Instead of a having artificially created states or region as federation unit, we should have ethnic group (atleast we dont have more than 50 ethnic group) as federating units, we should forget about the size and population of each unit, if nigeria with 150m population have the same number of seat at AU with sychelles with less than 100 thousand population, and if california(with a population of 38million) is in a federation with wyoming(500 thousand population), we have no reason to care about the population of each ethnic group.
