Respecting Diversity For The Sake Of Unity

 By Abachi Ungbo

The social media is routinely awash with acerbic comments that eloquently speak to the antagonistic relationship that exists amongst Nigerians. They come with heavy religious and ethnic connotations. The situation now amounts to a declaration of war against the country’s unity. The warriors in the battlefield are preponderantly youth which clearly places the country’s future in a quandary. Sadly, moderating voices are few and far between. 

Nigeria is an intriguing weave of cultures, faiths and tribes, constituting a huge population that should ordinarily serve the union. Essentially, its rich diversity holds an abounding potential for collective progress and development.
