Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial district, Shehu Sani, has listed 10 factors he said were working against the unity and progress of Nigeria.
The lawmaker listed the factors as follows:
1.Dependence on one major source of revenue from a section
of a country, which logically profiles and categorises other
sections as parasitic.
2.Fading memory of the tragedy of secession and war: Lost
lessons of history.
3.Manipulation of sectional, religious and ethnic sentiments and
sensibilities of Nigerians by the political class.
4.The slow death of the nationalistic and patriotic spirit in
the hearts and minds of Nigerians, evidenced with the perennial
indifference to October 1st Independence Day celebrations.
5.A succession of failed governments, economic paralyses and
widening gulf between the have and the have nots.

6.The rise of a new restive and angry generation without value
for, interest in or sense of history.
7.Retention of a national political and socio economic culture
which emphasises on sharing of national cake as against the
baking of national cake. A bogus federal structure of largesse.
8.Deliberate or negligent suffocation of institutions established
to promote national unity e.g. NYSC, Federal Government
Colleges, etc.
9.Narcissistic and forlorn ideas and fantasy of chauvinists and
ethnic champions dreaming of carving out mini nations along
tribal lines.
10.Inequities of a pyramid economic structure; a rich few over a
poor many.
Meanwhile, Sani has advocated for an ad-hoc Committee that
would address agitations of various groups in Nigeria.
