Nigeria as an Entity is a charade, a joke, a big unfortunate joke.

It is like a building with full blown crack getting held together by a wooden wedge.

We are all deceiving ourselves, a country without a common identity worth fighting for is not a country.
Americans have their differences, over 100 years ago they fought their civil war, the issues surrounding the civil war still plagues them till today..

Do you know what keeps them together?? That American Identity, that was basically formed from nothing..
Just different people with an Identity as "Americans" .. an identity they are all willing to put their differences aside to protect.

Christian, Muslim, black, white, Latinas.. no matter who or what they are, they put their identity as Americans first and they'd die for it.
That is exactly what we lack and we don't care as long as we get to identify with our tribes, religion or ethnic groups, something that's basically done us no good.

Someone said doing the same thing over and over with the same result is insanity..
We keep going in circle of denial while patching our sad reality in the hopes that a Messiah will come save us.. there is no Messiah coming to save us.

Change is collective and elaborate, it is about a group of people making conscious effort to do better not just the government.
I see division a long all sorts of line on here everyday..

Tribal, gender, Religious, ethnic and class but where and what has that gotten us?? the poorest people in the world Tag.

We need to do better, I hope we will and if we don't our children will suffer for it.
We need an identity..

Americans want to protect their "God's own country"

British people want to Protect their empire and serve the Queen

Russians want to sweat and bleed for motherland.

Chinese people want to build a global industrial identity
For all these Nations, these identities comes first.

It comes before race, gender, religion and anything else for that matter.

We used to be called the "giant of Africa" that's an identity that can be built on.. be the best at anything on the continent.
I know people will say we are too different but like I said that is where having an identity come in.

There are African-Americans, Jewish Americans, German Americans, Latino-Americans, Asian -Americans .. none of their cultural and racial differences supersedes the Identity..
I might be wrong about all these but I'm tired of seeing us go down to a new low everyday on here.

And the sad reality is that it is worse off social media than it is on social media..
In a bid to seem better than each other we always seem to focus on each tribe, ethnic and gender shortcomings that we fail to see how our individual strength when put together can be a formidable force for most countries to contend with.

The urge to be the better tribe has..
...blinded us to the very fact that our strength lies in our differences..
