OPINION WALE AJAYI: Elections may have divided us but Africa’s destiny rests on Nigeria’s unity | TheCable
April 22, 2023 6:11 PM“Africa unite. Because we’re moving right out of Babylon and we’re going to our Father’s land.

Our peculiarity of diversity in the forms of tribal/ethnic and religious plurality presents another interesting challenge for leadership and followership alike. I believe we have fundamental differences like other multicultural societies.
It is true that we are in the age of information explosion, with improved access and media freedom. The world is in the hand of all that now have access to the internet, almost without limitation. There’s indeed an information explosion, but what is unbelievable is the shortage of knowledge. But like anything that’s free, this access has its advantages and shortcomings.
