Nigeria is tick and stands gallantly as the giant of Africa. It has been considered as investor’s hub. Nigeria is unique and dynamic, strong and resilient. It has attracted tourist, investors and nations.

Nigeria’s strength, its colour and beauty is displayed in the many tongues and tribe that make up the nation.

Nigeria has 371 known tribes and 521 known languages. The true colour of the nation, Nigeria is rooted in this diversity.

Every tribe in Nigeria has something unique to bring to the table in terms of culture, strength, resources and talent. Some tribes in are the food basket of the nation while some are the commercial giants. Some produces the talent while some produce the resources.

In the body that makes the nation, each part is unique with its distinct strength and colour.

Nigeria has at many times come to the verge of breaking up. Some sects clamour for the secession while a good number clamour for unity. Some with for political interest, some for economic interest while some under the guise of general good; The grievances of having a divided nation may be seen justifiable especially in the light of the insurgency.

The Implication of being 54

Anyone over 50 years of age knows one thing that its destination matters more than it bearing. 54 years and counting, the line holding the country as one is thinning but it still has great potential of bouncing back even stronger.

When one member of the body of Nigeria is separated from the whole, it has lost a shade of beauty. When one tongue and that makes good harmony and blend is lost in the choir, there is automatically a change in the flow even if not immediately noticed.

What make Nigeria attractive to Nigerians and foreigners is the unique people that makes the one Nigeria.

The task before Nigeria and Nigeria’s businesses is to decide to be an orchestra, an orchestra where different notes and sounds harmonises to produces an amazing music. The task before every individual and corporate entity is to sing its part in the big choir and sing it well.

The allure of Nigeria is in its diversity. Business should train to inculcate the culture of unity as a topmost ethic.

If Nigeria must continue to be the largest economy in Africa, investors hotspot and an allure that the pulls the world in, all hand must be on deck to protect the unity of the country, because in the many tongues and languages lies the economic strength of Nigeria.
