The on-going
trade of words, agitation and counter agitation in the nation is grossly
un-progressive and largely not for the interest of the common man.
With the
recent past months call for national schism, pulling out from the federation as
well as the perceived counter threat, unleashing ultimatum upon another segment
of the nation to get out of this we papa land and a half-baked cum child-like
support of a complimentary support from another part of the nation with
political pedigree of not keeping faith with their political woos in times of
hard and trying moments, carefully one begins to ask, which way Nigeria.
As for
me, these various southern call for wasting our federation and corresponding
northern threat are never from what our nation needs now.
These
agitations are grossly irrelevant compared to global realities.
The
political reality and political fortune of Nigerians in recent British
elections is supposed to end all these north-south needless agitations.
How do we
reconcile this nationwide political show of shame, where one section want to
pull out, another threatens the other.
As these
sections of the nation demonstrate madness and stupidity, the rest of the world
celebrate our seven angels who did Nigeria proud.
Before
the rest of the world, these seven Nigerian political gladiators are seen and
identified as Nigerians, never for once were they identified as folks from
Arewa, Ndigbo or Oduduwa nation.
Since the
world got wind of their political victory, Nigeria's global image has gained
higher political status.
If our
national image in the eyes of average Briton is one nation that has human
resources that can be judged as one of the best in Africa, it makes no sense to
them to hear that such nation is wasting her time fighting over national
schism.
We call
upon all Nigerians in the nation to join forces at resisting any attempt at
breaking up this nation.
There is
zero sense in such move, the world will see such move as effort soaked in
ignorance, madness and stupidity.
We at
Asaba Post News Wire will never be party to such move.
Nigeria
is just too big for such needless dreams, what the nation needs now is a
stronger sense of national unity, stronger commitment to advance restructuring
project of the nation, purpose driven leadership and good governance regime.
The world
cannot be creating opportunities and platforms for the global advancement of
Nigerians and we back at home, instead of thinking progressively like rest of
the world who are gloriously advancing Nigerians worldwide.
We call
upon progressive Nigerian youths to step out of their comfort zones, join us in
this clarion call to put an end to the ongoing nationwide craze, selling the
gospel of dis unity to the nation, we resist all these moves and condemn in
strong terms the least appearance of national disunity anywhere anytime in
Nigeria.
