Diversity is not our strength. In fact, diversity is our weakness! This is the lie they have been holding for 60 years. From generation to generation.
We are not compatible and we must accept that and stop deceiving ourselves.

Nigerians will soon descend on you and tag you IPOB.

They fail to realise that unity exists when all the stake holders are taken care of.

I am even afraid that they may agree to suspend the killings, then go back to their roundtable and plot a one final swoop on us.

We need to breath fresh air in our own lands.

As in eh. It's rather frustrating fearing for your own life even in your own house. Not many country would survive the herdsmen issue. I'm quite surprised that we have endured so much.

In other climes, it's enough reason for everyone to go their separate ways.

Those herders must be cut to size.

So because we don't know what war is we should be short changed?

Diversity is a strength everywhere, whether in the workplace or societal settings.

A heterogeneous group is better at handling a range of complex challenges than a homogeneous one is. Our larger diversity of backgrounds, skills, histories, and talents make us better equipped to deal with difficult and unpredictable problems.

For instance, the Yorubas are good at education, technology, finance and entertainment. The Igbos are good at business and football. The middlebelt is good at farming. The Fulanis are good at cattle rearing. Not forgetting the mineral deposits in the Niger Delta and their educational levels. The Hausas are good at trading and traditional medicine. That's something. On the other hand, a homogeneous group is similar in a lot of ways. So you often find that they largely tend to have similar strengths and weaknesses.

Look at America and you would see the potentials of a diverse group.

It's just that in Nigeria, we have failed to realise even the smallest of our promise.

Mtcheew! How has your diversity contributed to your country development?
Heterogenous country dont develop like homogenous one!
This is a fact!
Yorubas are good at technology and finance but crude oil is our main source of income. While homogenous countries like south korea, japan, germany, norway, netherlands are doing better right?
Igbos are good at football but we are ranked at number 38 in the world!
The middle belt are good at farming but yet we import most food to this country.
Please remove those cattle rearing nonsense. How has that contributed to the economy? The herdsmen have killed many indigenes because of cattle rearing. Can that happen in an homogenous society?
Lastly, america has been able to manage its diversity because it is a country of migrants! Nothing more!
If diversity is very good then let Germans, Italians, and French people live in the same country like the way you have Yorubas, Igbos and Hausas in Nigeria; let us see if they will not have 3rd world war.
All what you just wrote is bull-shit that we have been hearing since i was a kid.
