A king that transformed a jungle to a city will forever be remembered. At the same time, a king that turned a city into jungle forever would not be forgotten.
The way things are going, it is obvious that many nations are likely to emerge from Nigeria. When the histories of such nations that were hitherto Nigeria would be written, one name that would be scrolled in bold prints is President Muhammadu Buhari for presiding and writing the epitaph of once a country. The prophetic book “There was a country” In this vein, “There was a country,” the last book of the late literary icon, Prof Chinua Achebe, becomes prophetic. When in the early 2000, it was alleged that the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had predicted that Nigeria would fragment in 2015, there was palpable tension in the country, especially in the face of the general elections that generated so much acrimony and hatred and the country was polarised along ethnic and religious divides. The elections came and have gone, with many heaving sighs of relief believing the worst was over. Is Buhari interested in the unity of the country? True to their thoughts, the worst could have been over if the winner of the presidential election, President Buhari was interested in the unity of the country. He could have embarked on reconciliation and unification across the country so that the grievances and disappointment that attended the elections would be forgotten. Instead, he started to position people from one section of the country and equally started promoting his religion, while he saw the rest as conquered people, who should not impugn his authority even in a democracy.
