  • Nigeria: Letter to My Southern Compatriots

    There is no doubt that the debate on the rotation of political offices in our dear country has got to a disheartening level. What is even more frightening is what appears to be an anti-North agenda and a gang up perpetrated by some of our southern compatriots. While I do not, and never will, subscribe to sectional elitism, I want to remind us, or bring to our attention, certain painful facts in our national intercourse. It is quite glaring, even if uncomfortable, that Nigeria is not truly one nation and neither is it a united country. I feel quite strongly that it is only through the principle of zoning or rotation that every section of our nation would have a sense of patriotism where fair representation is guaranteed.
