Nigeria’s Faulty Foundation: Why We Must Rethink “One Nigeria”
Lisa’s comment was spot on. Nigeria’s problems persist because northern and southwestern elites have formed an unholy alliance. This alliance shields corrupt leaders and stalls real progress. By using “One Nigeria” as a shield, these elites control their people through divisive propaganda. The North’s unique power structure leaves ordinary Northerners unable to hold their leaders accountable. I believe only a referendum or full devolution of power can free Northerners from this grasp. Regional autonomy could expose corrupt elites and spark development across all regions.
