We
may not have been together if not for the 1914 amalgamation. But since the
artificial wedding took place over a century ago, it is quite surprising how and
why we remain divided in the face of various integration plans and programs to
keep us united.
Few
weeks ago when the Ese Oruru saga broke out, it again showed to the world how
divided a nation amalgamated over a hundred years ago is. The Ese Oruru saga,
prove once again that we have only been struggling to live in harmony with one
another and always looking for the slightest opportunity to go against each
other.
Worse
as our division is, we are not only divided along regional or ethnical line, but
we are so divided along numerous lines and that only calls for concerns for a
nation dreaming of development and prosperity. One wonders how we have managed
to stay together as a nation in the midst of these divisions all these years.
