Who will federate Nigeria?

It has been proven time and again that if your
body language conflicts with your words, people
subliminally believe the body language not the
work..

What then are Nigeria’s body language and what
are her words.
Nigeria’s words, especially from the government
at the center, are that we are a Federal Republic
of Nigeria with a Federal Government. From that
pedestal, the Federal Government rightly
advocates for unity amongst the multiple ethnic
nationalities in Nigeria.
Right from the cradle, the official word
communication we get from the government is
that we are one people and it does not matter
where you come from.
As impressionable children, we believe those
words and it works fine until we start formal
education and that is when the words begin to
conflict with the behavior.
At the Local Education District’s primary school,
the first thing the officials and their paper work
want to find out is not whether you know your
ABCs or your 123s, no! They want to know
where you come from. Are you an indigene or a
settler?
If you are an indigene you have easier access to
primary schools and your school fees are likely
to be free, but if you are not an indigene of the
state, your parents may have to consider
enrolling you in a private school as you might be
faced with several obstacles in your bid to enroll
in a public school.
But then, some may still believe the words that
where you come from does not matter as long
as you are a citizen of Nigeria. In your formative
years, you really want to believe that.
And then it is time for secondary school and your
parents enroll you for the Common Entrance
Examinations. You take it and wait for the
results to come out and when they do you rush
to your best friends house. ‘Guess what, I scored
98 in my exams’. What did you score’? He
responds, ‘I scored 59′.
Then, it gets interesting. You cannot get
admission into the Secondary School of your
choice though you scored 98 points, however,
your friend who scores 59 gets in.
‘Daddy, how could this have happened’ you asked
your dad, who does his best to explain but ends
up stammering, unable to find the words to
explain the manufactured reality where 2 + 2 =
sometimes 5 and sometimes 7 but never 4.
Your young mind tries to reconcile the reality you
are faced with with what you have been told all
your life up to that point...
