From a Neolithic and Iron Age Civilization by the Nok in the Present Day
 Jos in Plateau State as far back as 800 BC, to the 11th Century 
formation of the Hausa Kingdoms and Borno Dynasty in the North, Oyo and 
Benin Kingdoms in the South, to the founding of the Sokoto Caliphate in 
1809, to the 1850s establishment of British presence around Lagos, to 
the 1914 Nigerian Protectorate, to our Independence from British rule in
 1960, then the dark 30 months of the brutal Civil War which began in 
1967, to Military Rule, then Democracy, to the Present Day, we have 
managed to present a ‘common front’ as a People.<br />

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><span style="background-color: white;"></span>Recently,
 there have been strident calls from some quarters for a break up of 
Nigeria as we know it, based on perceived injustices to some sections of
 our dear Country. Each proponent for this argument feels justified 
based on what they have experienced or are experiencing.<br />
<br />
<b>But, is Nigeria’s disintegration the solution to our problems?</b><br />
<br />
I say NO. This is because any Country which desires to be taken 
seriously in the comity of developed Nations, derives its strength from 
its human and material resources, size and population. We will not stand
 a chance if we are divided. Remember, United we stand, Divided we fall.<br />
<br />
Government therefore, needs to move decisively to check the current 
trend of general insecurity, violence, repression, imbalance and yes, 
injustice – perceived or real.<br />

<br />
The Country Nigeria was founded so that people living in the then 
British Colony of Nigeria with their multiple backgrounds, could unite 
as one people in order to be able to resist colonialism.<br />
<br />
It is important on this 56th Anniversary of our Independence to 
remember the main reason that brought us together, and remember that 
majority of Nigerians are still thriving in peaceful co-existence with 
their neighbours, regardless of what part of Nigeria they come from or 
how they worship God.<br />
<br />
For our sake therefore, our common Nigerian identity cannot be compromised.<br />
<br />
Happy Independence Anniversary everyone!!<br />
