The recent scuffle that the Abacha versus Wole Soyinka generated in our cyber space is another evidence pointing to the artificiality of the country called Nigeria. It further cements the counter-fitness of the one-Nigeria slogan. We have known some regionalists from time immemorial to have never for once publicly condemn any kleptocrat from their region. History is there to judge where Olusegun Obasanjo had his most tense attack during his third term political invention.
We are what we are, and we shall remain so. In as much as I remain an ardent believer in a class structure based on our relationship with the machinery of wealth production, any re-configuration of our country that does not include regional autonomy will fall as the wall of Jericho. In this stance, we have to dilute Marxists' democratic centralism to appeal to the social reality of the Nigeria demography.
