Opinion: Nigeria: More of the Centrifugal Than The Centripetal, By Banji Ojewale

Our young men and women are fleeing the land, for proverbial greener pastures. The jobs and opportunities we promised them aren’t forthcoming. They believe they would be wasting their prime if they continue to build their hopes on those they consider selfish and avaricious leaders, who are accumulating the resources of the society for their families alone.

We need to accommodate these centre-despising forces that would free us from the funereal vice of a system preventing unhindered socioeconomic march. That is the constructive nature of the centrifugal forces. They enable a cathartic process that reduces the unwieldy weight of the centre. Some of our fellow countrymen and women want us to go back to the pre and post-independence arrangement of regionalism. They have romanticised that era. They refer to the great strides the vast Western Nigeria took under a cohabitation with less federal watch and control. Some European nations and Asian Tigers, which are numbered among the 20 leading countries of the world today, didn’t have some of the smart indices of development which the Western Region had.
