Iβve been thinking about this for a while and I think I finally understand why nobody is truly willing to fight for Nigeria.
We have no real nationalism.
Not the shallow flag waving kind I mean the deep kind. The kind that makes you feel like what happens to a stranger in Kano is your problem too even though youβve never left Lagos
And it makes sense when you think about it. Nigeria was never built around shared identity. No culture of honouring sacrifice. No moment where Nigeria looked at the people who bled for it and said we see you and that is why bad leaders will keep winning.
