Senator representing Kaduna
Central Senatorial district, Shehu Sani, has listed 10 factors he said were
working against the unity and progress of Nigeria.
The Chairman, Senate Committee on
Foreign Loans and Local debts, posted this on his Facebook page.
The lawmaker listed the factors
as follows:
1. Dependence on one major source
of revenue from a section of a country, which logically profiles and
categorises other sections as parasitic.
2. Fading memory of the tragedy
of secession and war: Lost lessons of history.
3. Manipulation of sectional,
religious and ethnic sentiments and sensibilities of Nigerians by the political
class.
4. The slow death of the
nationalistic and patriotic spirit in the hearts and minds of Nigerians,
evidenced with the perennial indifference to October 1st Independence Day
celebrations.
5. A succession of failed
governments, economic paralyses and widening gulf between the have and the have
nots.
6. The rise of a new restive and
angry generation without value for, interest in or sense of history.
7. Retention of a national
political and socio economic culture which emphasises on sharing of national
cake as against the baking of national cake. A bogus federal structure of
largesse.
8. Deliberate or negligent suffocation
of institutions established to promote national unity e.g. NYSC, Federal
Government Colleges, etc.
9. Narcissistic and forlorn ideas
and fantasy of chauvinists and ethnic champions dreaming of carving out mini
nations along tribal lines.
10. Inequities of a pyramid
economic structure; a rich few over a poor many.
Meanwhile, Sani has advocated for
an ad-hoc Committee that would address agitations of various groups in
Nigeria.
