This article got me thinking deep. Happy New Year everyone! Apart from the New Year celebrations, I hope you know that the 111th birthday bash of One Nigeria should also be going on as you read this. That is, if One Nigeria was worth celebrating. SOURCE Nlfpmod

Interesting to read. I have always referred to the 1914 amalgamation as a failed marriage borne out of the necessity of cost running and controlling the administrative power by the British. It is even more exciting to note from your analysis that the then world war 1 had an impact to do with it. Looking down the lane of this avoidable trajectory, what have we achieved as a country in this false marriage? Different ethnic group of different cultures and ideologies being forced to live as one. For how long can this continue. In 2014, the then president Goodluck Jonathan had the opportunity to call for a referendum on this but the whole essence of the conference he set up didn’t meet that goal. The best Nigeria can do at the moment is total restructuring. We have far off unbecome what we were, and now becoming what we are not. |
