North Central is the only without a drive to self independence. This is because the multi ethnic group that make up this region also possesses diverse culture and religion. Also, many of the ethnic group holds their origin to North western state or North Eastern states and finds it difficult to separate themselves from the Arewa Nation. Many of the Original ethnic Groups in this region have suffered ethnic cleansing from migrants and are still suffering from the act rigth now. This made it difficult for them to associate themselves from the Arewa Nation given the atrocities they had suffered.
The region now have no drive to self actualisation as a good number of her population is a mix of individuals from all other regions of Nigeria who has huge investment in this region and will not wish to lose them to separation.

The lack of drive for self actualisation by the North Central region beside the many Government intervention in the area is the major force driving the unity of Nigeria.
