When the Europeans first amalgamated the northern and the southern protectorate, they had one thing in mind, "Uniting a diverse culture, religion, language", little dis they know that a hundred years on, the unity will still be fluctuating.
Well like some people has rightly pointed, the mix in culture is something that has affected even bill passing in the legislative. Lets take for instance, there was a senator ( i won't mention names, google is your friend) that married a 16 year old, and he was about 60 years. Now to some part of nigeria this action is paedophilic and the other part? Well its a norm.
There is nothing perfect, nothing can be culled as a yardstick to explain perfection infact.
But here comes the reason for this article, are we going to spend the rest of our lives blaming? Or beign tribalistic? We have an opportunity to make this country great.
Lemme borrow an idiom from the chelsea gaffer Jose Morinho, "Only an Ostrich in times of trouble allowed to bury its head in the sand".
We can move past these barriers, we can make this work, the niger delta has been on about their oil that they didn't notice the fact that the oil price decline has affected everything. Infact now there is an alternative to crude oil now and it is relatively cheap.
Nigerians, The Land is Green. Happy 55th Independence anniversary.
