I have heard Nigerians sayings we are Yorubas, Hausas and Igbos and yet the majority of the children in our country can't even speak their native dialect. I hope soon, we will not start having children who will tell their origin in third-party speeches (My father said we are from Kogi state but I do not know anything about Kogi).
If you live in Nigeria, you will know that names have meanings. If you have a name like "Goodluck" you actually know where you will end up, and if a person names her first daughter "patience" then you need no one to tell you what she went through with her husband and in-laws before she had the child.
Nigeria has so many tribes, we speak different native languages, this has been the beauty of this country but are we still planning to grow this country together? I realised that we are good in preaching separation even amongst ourselves. There is this popular Nigerian joke that a bus carrying 10 passengers had an accident on the highway, soon medical and military personnels got to the scene of the accident. Then a policeman asked someone if people died in the accident but the man replied and said nobody died only 2 Gambari died. Now the question is are Gambari are not humans or are they not Nigerians?
Nigerians have now turned themselves to ethnic warriors fighting and killing one another for no just course, this is disheartening. I always thought that politicians were the only ones who use citizens as political dogs and thugs to get what they wanted but it is inevitably clear that even citizens now use themselves to cause havoc in the country, leading to the display of different barbaric acts
I think now more than ever in this country, we need to start preaching peace.
DO NOT FORGET STEEMIT IN NIGERIA (SIN)...
