1967 and 2017 are exactly fifty (50) years apart from each other. In the case of Nigeria, a beast of inexorability and moral depravity born with the civil war has since thrived and is still being fed with hatred, selfishness and series of provocations…
Lately, sleeping hostilities are being awakened, tensions are gradually rising, ultimatums are being given, issued threats are on the brink of execution; all pointing to the same direction, war.
The question now is; can Nigeria survive another war? , having lost millions of lives in a two-and-a-half-year war fought at a period when weapons were still unsophisticated. It is only better imagined what would be lost just for the purpose of secession.
It is easier for a broomstick to be broken than the broom itself; this is just an illustration of the many glaring truths which we have all failed to acknowledge, the earlier we accept them, the better for us… my ‘fifty kobo’.
