Some scholars have told Nigerians to avoid any situation that will lead to disintegration of the nation.
They made the call at a conference organised by Marron Square and titled, ‘Identity Politics and the National Question in Nigeria.’ The special guest of the conference, provost, College of Education, Technical, Akoka, Lagos, Dr Azeez Ademola, said Nigerians irrespective of class, faith or ethnicity should not allow themselves to be overwhelmed by divisive interests seeking to cause disaffection across the country.
In his paper, Dr Adagbo Onoja of the Veritas University, Abuja, said ethnic groups in Nigeria evolved through various stages, adding that what led to feelings of hate and prejudiced was the character of bad leadership that had largely been the lot of the country for a long time. Onoja said, “The monolithic binary is a power agenda that reduces Nigeria to a country of two opposing regional identities instead of equal identities.”
