Let me state this clearly that I totally disagree with the philosophy of unity at any cost, a simplicistic rendition of that pietistic mantra: United we stand, divided we fall. What infantile nonsense ! It has no basis in logic or rationality whatever. Sometimes, not only is it that small is beautiful but also small is perfect able ....... True, I do prefer that we stay together, if only because I dont like to keep spending time obtaining visas when I want to go see a former next-door neighbour and collaborators. Also, I am partial to existence within a plurality of cultures. It offers a richness of resources, a dynamic of infinite sensibilities. But to say that you must go to war over unity? No! Go the civilised way - plebiscite. Instead we wasted an estimated two million lives through bullets, sickness and starvation - to preserve a European myth ? ITS A LACK OF MATURITY - Prof. Wole Soyinka.
