My goodness me! Years back before Kanu's message, I was a proponent of one Nigeria. I didn't give a damn about the history of Nigeria. What I was much interested was to use my engineering ingenuity to uplift Nigeria technologically and scientifically. Consquently, while in school I was reading really hrad to graduate with a good grade and I succeded. (for those who know what Partial Differentiation is, you know it means to study hard). When I graduated as an engineer, my sense of awareness increases. I started perceiving things that ordinarly I didn't regard. I started asking myself questions. "A country that is so rich with human potentials and natural resources, yet is poor, technologically and scientifically backward"? Momentarily, my first answer was corruption but I later discarded it when a more potent point suffices- United States, Canada, Germany, UK, etc are they not the same human beings like us? Why didn't they loot their country dry like us? I realize that there is a sense of nationhood in the later, while something is fundamentally wrong with the former (Nigeria). Then came Nnamdi Kanu's message. Permit me to borrow from St Paul of blesses memory: "His word (Kanu) is alive and active, sharper than any doubled-edge sword. It cuts all the way through, to where soul and spirit meet, to where joints and marrow come together. It judges the desires and thoughts of the hearts. There is nothing that can be hidden from it, everything under it is exposed and lies open before their eyes". Kanu's message started with the 1914 almagamation as the root cause of problem. In his expository message, he gave an unarguable facts why Nigeria is not a nation and cannot function as one. He pointed out there are three factors that are dedeviling the country- the 1914 almagamation, religion and tribalism. He stated that of the three factors, the almagamation is the worst. The 1914 almagamation can be related to the early history of Nigeria. Before the almagamation, the three regions that make up Nigeria function independently and have control of their affairs. In Nnamdi Kanu's words: "Naturally, water and oil cannot mix together, why forcing them"? I did a research of my own and found that the almagamation which is supposed to harness the country diversity has done more harm than good because the three regions which make up Nigeria have different values that strongly depend on religion and culture. One maybe quick to ask why the United States that are made of people with diverse culture and religion are living harmonousily together. First, the indigenous people of the United States have the same culture and religion. Second, any foreign citizens of United States must live under the United States value system irrespective of your race or religion. Third, United States is a mono religion country (Christain). These factors are not the same with Nigeria. The other factors two factors mentioned by Nnamdi Kanu are synomous. You cannot exclude region from culture, the complement each other. This theory can be supported with the Bokoharam insurgency since Bokoharam terrorism wouldn't have arisen if Nigeria was a muslim country. These three factors are the result of what the country is facing today whch has degenerated to trbalism, religion extremist, nepotism, favoritisim, corruption, lack of nation consciousness because nobody believes in the almagamation right from the start including the early leaders like Ahamadu Bello, Awalowo etc. As a result this has hindered the country's progress and development. Today, most Nigerian leaders see Nigeria as a private enterprise rather than a nation. Lugard's experiment which is now 56 years old has done more harm than good. As I celebrate Nnamdi Kanu's unflinching Ideology and resoluteness while in prison, may he live to see his dream come true. I salute your courage sir!
