There are times death of something is preferred to the existence of the same, disunity preferred to unity.

"Northern leaders, elders lament state of region" sun newspaper 3/11/14



In our cyclic world, death gives birth to live as in plants and planets and disunity gives birth to unity as in wars and formation of Nations; evidently, there are times death of something is preferred to the existence of the same, disunity preferred to unity.

Yes, I agree the North is undergoing tremendous political change that would eventually and naturally decimate its hegemonic strangle hold to national unity, progress and development. The wanton destruction of lives and properties by Boko Haram in the North is barbaric and condemnable. However Boko Haram insurgency has little or nothing to do with the demise of the inorganic unity and cultic fraternity among the North’s many ethnic nationalities. Because nothing last-ret forever, because human commitments albeit inorganic commitments pales over time, the diminishing unity among the North’s many ethnicities is but natural and a good omen for national unity, progress and development. Yes, the declining and eventual death of the intra-North unity otherwise the North’s Elites Unity Club would be the beginning of the end of the old order and the beginning of a new hopeful and splendors one. This would mean the end of the relevancy of the North’s elite political Club and its strangle hold on Nigeria, the end of this Club’s strangle hold on human capital in the North. This end would usher in a new order in the North, the Serfs, the Alma Jiri and common people’s order.
It is self-evident that this North’s unity if it did exist was nothing but North’s Political Elites Club whose sole aim and achievement was the segregation and maintenance of a class society in the north in particular and in Nigeria at Large. Before independence the north was more backwards than the other major regions and since after independence and with over 38 years of leadership control and dominance the north is still backwards and more than ever before. Statistically, there are more illiterates, poverty, ignorance, serfs, Alma Jiris, death, hunger, disease, and hopelessness in the North today than ever before. These questions; where is the North’s unity; for what use, purpose, value and end was the North’s unity; are therefore dying for recognitions. If reason, logics is the guide, if the taste of fofo should be in the eating, shouldn’t the so many downtrodden citizens of Nigeria of northerner extraction and Nigerians at large at this time demand the death of North’s unity, if this unity had only delivered, poverty, abjectness, death, ignorance, under=education, corruption, national decay, decadence, and hopelessness to the overwhelming majority in the north and in Nigeria at large?
Truth is that, outside the brief era of the independent fathers, there has never been true unity or true intra-regional unity, neither in the north, nor in the South West nor in the South East. What Nigeria have always had in the regions are congregations of tribal and inter-tribal elite political clubs whose ideology is Class Segregation, and by-any-means-possible the modus operandi. So Nigerians in the north, and South should not only wish for the death of these cultic political elite clubs but must unify and bludgeon them to death wherever they exist because nothing good has come out of any them. It is unarguably true that the death of these self-serving intra-tribal, regional political elite clubs would foster National, unity. Let’s try true national political club with all Nigerians, the haves and the have-nots included. The ideology of ‘God first, Islam second, north third and the rest’ has not worked and would never work if we truly aspires for that perfect Nigerian Union.
