When a Nigerian National team scores a goal......Nigerians of all ethnicity and religion will jump up in jubilation and be screaming one word, one language in one voice GOOAALLL!!!. That moment, we forget our ethnic & tribalistic sentiments whether it was scored by an Hausa, an Igbo or a Yoruba man. We love the feelings, we cherish the moments, we adore the players and we sing with one voice.....Up Super Eagles, Up Flying Eagles, Up Golden Eaglets and Up Green Eagles. When we talk about those games....we talk about Nigeria with one voice, but when leading nigeria astray we find tribalism permeate, hes my brother, I must support him, our integrity disappears and Amnestia with tribalism sets in. We always wish Nigeria the best and support Nigeria with our great man power to go all out for the Glory in football only for the interest of One Nigeria. Nigeria can work, Nigeria can be a better place, Nigeria can move forward if the Hausa man can support the Yoruba man in government, and the delta man can shun every ethnic sentiments and support the administration of the Igbo government, and judge it on its merit and when corruption & impunity becomes the hallmark like GEJs administration, we all as Nigerians must rise up as One Nigeria & shun it in entirety. Look at the Golden Eaglets...the Hausa man [YAHAYA] passes the ball to the Igbo man [IHEANACHO] & the Igbo man tries and dribbles his way out of the huddles just to set up the Yoruba man [AWONIYI] to score the goal. That one goal that was fought for by the collective responsibility, hard work and contributions of all the ethnic Nationality for one common goal [interest] that will benefit, elevate and sky rocket this One Nation to a greater height and achievement (s). We should learn from this... we are one Nigeria, and that one greater Nigeria will only be possible if we eschew this our habit of ethnic sentiments and religious bias.~Smart Anak.
