I agree with your historic analysis but still believe that the hopeless situation in Nigeria is redeemable. We must redeem Nigeria if not for any other reason for the sake Zik who gave everything to secure independence for the Niger Area people now called Nigerians. For his humanitarian, national and independent struggles for his freedom struggles, ZIk ought to be immortalize like Gandi,George Washington, like Abraham Lincoln, like Martin Luther king Jr. But if Nigeria goes so could be the memory of ZIk. Remember Zik ought to have been the first executive prime minster of Nigeria but for the same unfouded and myopic Igbo fears and hate he was denied the heroic position he so rightly and respectfully deserved.
So the only way left to honor and immotalize him, now that he has gone is to keep Nigeria one. Yes, it seems painful and difficult give the circumstances in Nigeria past and present yet difficulties and challenging sitiations are what define a man and man’s character. They are what define a people. We must keep Nigeria for so many reasons among which is to ensure that zik struggles is not rubbished but that his memory is preserved. As you highlighted in your comment Zik’s positions or achieving a truly one Nigeria still remains the only way out. The North has now beginning to see what Zik saw 54 years ago on the best way to build a perfect and united nigeria.
Boko Hara Islamic insurgency is a very winniable war. And I guarantee you, after 2015 election Boko Hara would fizzle out or outrightly crushed. Take this my assurance to the bank.
