After a critical analysis of our situation based on history,experience and other factors I figured out few things as the bane of Nigerias unity and growth. The 1st and most important is the issue of being stuck to the past with regards to indigene/settler dichotomy.Should a Nigerian be regarded as a settler in his own country?The Jos crisis was partly fueled by this because an Hausa man won Jos North while the Governor rigged to make sure a Berom becomes LGA chairman.I personally see nothing wrong in an Hausa being a Governor of my State if he wins. I have interacted with many Nigerians who believe the Igbos did wrong by buying land and investing in other remotest parts of Nigeria just because of ethnicity.They also believe that those Igbos are strangers and therefore have no right to contest and win elections or they would be sent packing. Abolishing this indigene/settler dichotomy is a wise step towards improving local investment since every Nigerian will automatically become indigene of wherever he decides to settle and will invest there as a home. More points coming.
