We are stronger together as Nigerians than belonging and behaving as separate ethnic and geographical entities. Can it be true that Nigerians do not like themselves? A former Minister of Finance alerted us to the game banks, foreign exchange institutions, the CBN play with the substantial amount of money sent back by Nigerians in diaspora. If Nigerians were to feel what Indonesians and Ethiopians feel about desertification and replenishing the forests – we would do what they do – these are the two greatest tree planting nations in the world. There should be no room for that kind of thinking by Nigerians.
