As already established, the problem of Nigeria is neither hunger nor kidnapping nor fuel. These are real problems, but only micro symptoms of the real underlying ailment. The real problem of Nigeria is the 1914 amalgamation that yoked a disparity of nations of incongruities and varying religious and cultural temperaments in a death tie, with stooge, conscienceless and hedonistic leadership working in a vicarious capacity for foreign masters.

This is worsened by base religious bigotry on the jugular of the country, raining bloody hell on every life to exterminate and occupy every space. Yet other negative factors still glue the ethnic nationalities together in the fantasy and euphoria of perilous indivisible unity of intensive death. These factors are further enhanced and made unfelt by distracting ethnic mutual hatred and mistrust, sustained by fear of death for seeking disintegration and by the lure of oil money, which entices to death but is scooped and enjoyed by only a few of our vampires and proxy lords.

Ethnic mutual hatred and mistrust is the mechanism deliberately instigated and fanned by internal slave masters among the ethnic nationalities to make it impossible for them to agree to a revolution, reformation or disintegration for a workable alternative Nigeria. The anger meant to vent against the outlived amalgamation that lumps them together and a strangulating constitution that binds them as utility commodity for insensitive leaders and religious fundamentalists, they rather vent against each other, perceived as competitors for Nigerian patrimony.
