To a casual observer of the Nigerian situation, corruption, embezzlement of public fund is the real problem with Nigeria. It is not. Indeed a careful examination and pathological dissection of the Nigerian socio=political malady, reveals that corruption is actually one of the effects or fruits of the problems. Result of in-depth analyses of this parlous and unenviable state of Nigeria, can be summed up thus: A nation without nationhood, amalgamated but not integrated, federated without unification.
Beyond the foregoing however, the real interpretation
is that the progenitors of Nigeria had unconsciously sentenced her to death
from inception.
At independence in 1960, this nation was planted in
the soil of selfish interest (Ethnic identity and competition). Almost
immediately, Nigeria was watered with the breath of deceit (Political Party
system), not long after, it was sold into crass mismanagement by the men in
uniform. And since then, disillusioned.
As it is now, this old, weakened, crumbling and fading
Nigeria cannot be prevented from dying. The good news however is that it is
passing away for good, a New Foundation for The New Nigeria is catching up fast.
