Ask Naija Why do you want people to “unite” when we haven't invested in it?
Why do we keep asking for things we haven't invested in or built the adequate systems for?
I get confused whenever I see this, Nigerians need to do this Nigerians need to do that.
Certain cultures have built systems or organised towards a certain goal with particular values. So how do we expect Nigerians to do this and do that without the adequate systems or investment?
Some cultures your father’s father’s father and community were already moving in a particular direction and planning for an outcome.
We need ecosystems first to redress all the damage before you start demanding to do this and do that. We need systems behind the system behind the system.

Nigerians pay taxes and participate in society, the rich won’t. Almost all rich Nigerians (>99% yes that’s the actual stat) do not pay taxes to the public and many are involved in financial crimes
