Even though the chances that Nigeria will split or
disintegrate into pieces as claimed by pessimists seem
slim, the pertinent question still remains. Should the
nation divide? Many are asking. Those that want the
nation to break will surely be disappointed. The basic
reason is that the nation is not so homogeneous enough
to divide on tribal or religious divide, the main factor
for such successions.
It is a fact that there are substantive insuppressible
population of both Muslims and Christians in both the
north and the south of the country. Another reason is
that the oil money has brought sudden wealth to many
citizens in the oil producing states which have enable
them to acquire assets in Abuja and have economic
interest and advantage in the hinterland. They will only
be foolish to relinquish such assets for a depleting fossil
fuel that may also be later discovered elsewhere in the
nation.
With such chances slim. What the nation dearly needs
now is a president that can stir and maneuver the
nation out of the turbulent waters. A President that is
acceptable both in the north and south. Also acceptable
to both the Christians and Muslims. Vibrant, intelligent
and focused on what is good for all. A President that
has no criminal records, and is honest and
incorruptible.
A President that has no dictatorial instincts or one that
display ostentatiousness. A president that loves people
and people oriented programs like free education,
subsidized health and housing projects. A president
that will bulldoze and tackle the electricity problem
head on, and improve the road networks for efficient
safe transportation. A president that will take the
problem of sewage drainage, disposal, and
environmental cleanliness his baby. A president that will
build at least five ultramodern international airports,
in Abuja, Kano, Enugu, Port Harcourt and Lagos.
A President that will modernize the armed forces and
police, and make them truly reflect our diversity. A
president that is not a member or supporter or an
advocate of armed bandits or militants but one that will
crush all rebellious group, neutralize all forms of
militancy.
What is needed is a Nigerian president. A president for
all Nigerians, not one representing any tribal, religious
or economic interest. Not one representing militants or
caucuses or foreign interests.
Such a president will bring peace and tranquility to the
nation and the whole world by extension.
