Nigeria’s Unity: A 64-Year-Old Lie

 By Charles Okoh

Nigeria was 64 last Tuesday. On that day in 1960, expec­tations were high and the country’s founding fathers had lofty dreams about a nation that was destined for the top with all the resources, both natural and human. However, 64 years later, it has been a dashed dream thus far.
