the good thing about these current times is that we do not have to be creators anymore. copying is good enough. if we apply the progress of these countries who have gotten it right based on time and say we would get there, the point is we would never get there because we would always see outselves as underachieved and always less progressive. look at china today. they got to thos point they are now by copying europe and america. lets copy working systems and if possible modify a bit to suit our environment. we dont need to think anymore. they have done it for us centuries ago.

the bold is exactly what the problem is. But then again, you would ask yourself, are we the only multicultural nation in the world? the answer is no. In Switzerland, you have three(four technically) different set of languages (Italian, French, Germans and "Romantsch" with people almost having different ways of life when you move across regions. Do they share some form of less positive sentiments towards each other? Yes! but its not on the level of national concern. In fact, except for the maybe the Italians who are in their own world, you would be accepted almost anywhere in the whole country if you speak at least one national language regardless of your region and language. How did they do this? they were able to be a country and not be a country. Every state has its own laws governing it even down to the local government. State laws supersede local laws most definitely but when there is none or no contradiction, the most grass-root law applies. Lets stop using the word restructuring to deceive ourselves. lets call it what is is. If we do not practice federalism to the atom of the word, we would always be what we are now and even worse.

but thats the problem.. we can never be united because we are not the same people, we do not think the same and we are also not ready to reach compromises.

this has nothing to do with african leaders. you cannot hate other tribes in nigeria and expect to betreated differently by foreigners both home and abroad.. its impossible
