Frankly Speaking

When the hausa/fulani man say "One Nigeria", it is with the same interpretation with which Pharaoh told Moses "The Israelites must remain one with Egypt "(paraphrasing) .
It's a one-ness for servitude and slavery. For what is a master without a slave.
The most painful part of the Nigerian scenario is, the slaves are to clever and too bewitched that they don't know they are slaves. That's why a Southern man will stupidly sing the one Nigeria pledge.
A country united by the blood of a section of the country that is spilled with more ease than that of a mosquito. In the early days, the sacrificial lambs had always been taken exclusively from the stead of the Ibo race. So it didn't matter to the Yoruba man, or the Jos man or the Benue man that had been one of the blades by which the lambs was slain as witnessed in the 1966 pogrom. It didn't matter cos it was those obnoxious Ibos that are heavily resented and "deserves" whatever they get.
That why I have decided to end my outcry  in the face of the Fulani herdsmen attacks and other "persecution" of mostly the southern parts of the country currently going on. I see the chicken going round to roost. Now the Tiv man is being slaughtered , the Ibo man is being slaughtered , the Idoma man is being slaughtered, the Rivers man is being slaughtered , the Yoruba man is being slaughtered, the Benin man is being slaughtered. The gesture that has being exclusively served to a particular tribe is now being passed round.
Maybe just maybe we will wake up from our disillusionment, maybe just maybe the spell will be broken finally, maybe just maybe we will finally be united by this common problem and rise from our slumber and say "enough is enough ". Now that we seem to have a common problem, maybe, just maybe we will see the need of a common course.
We think we are at peace but the truth is that we are just shifting the doom days to our children. What cowardly parents we are. We are just saving the fight for our children. Cos I believe a generation shall surely come that will be illuminated and brave enough to say "enough is enough, we can't continue to be slaves and sacrificial lambs just for a master slave relationship to continue".
God created the heaven and the earth not Nigeria. This is for those using religious propaganda to deceive the people and make them believe that God made Nigeria to be one. They try to  justify this by saying, "If God never wished Nigeria so, we wouldn't have been brought together ". The senselessness of this justification for the unity of servitude and slavery is best illustrated by saying; "if God never wanted the Israelites to remain in Egypt as slaves, he wouldn't have led Joseph and his brothers into migrating to Egypt ". We are on earth and the bulk of what happens on earth is the doing of men not God. The colonial masters insidiously formed this country. Unless we are calling the British "God" otherwise God had no hands in this marriage of convenience.
If you ask me, I will tell you that the will of God on how the geographical area now called Nigeria showed be is clearly depicted on our map. One look at how the major Rivers partition the land space now called Nigeria is a clear presentation of nature's will for us.
