The unity of the
Northern part of Nigeria is a thing Southern political stalwarts needs to
emulate and try to implement. With this unity, they are the LORDS OF THE MANOR
while the disintegrated south are the TENANTS!
An attempt to
have (Old) EASTERN REGIONAL FORUM by the people of the former Eastern Region
was thwarted by OBJ, a Southerner, in the interest of the North? But the 19
states in the North despite their differences in religion etc., with three
zones-NE, NC and NW- as the South, still meet together to advance their
political interest!
Anybody
preaching unity of the former Eastern Region to form a socio-economic and
political block or the unity the entire SOUTHERN PROTECTORATE is perceived as an
enemy number one of (Northern) Nigeria. But
anyone preaching fragmentation and alliance with the LORD of the Manor, is
praised and seen as being Patriotic, Nationalist, and often giving LION as a
title.
With the
Northern unity, they defend their collective interest in Nigeria whether good
or bad! They don’t sacrifice their warlords to spice the Nigerian Unity rather
they preserve them to push their collective national interest!
Until the
Southern Politicians begin to assert themselves whether good or bad, The Lord
of the Manor will never see us as being serious! They will continue to advance
their interest no matter whose OX is gored!
