Every Nigerian wants the president to come from their tribe/region. If you ask them, they say if their tribesmen/region man become president he will help develop their region as he will sentimentaly channel resources to his region while in seat. So why then are Nigerians not pushing for their regions to be a separate country so that a man from your region will always be your president and he will be doing only things that favors your region at all times? What is the essence of battling for a "united" country with contrasting regions and then wait for 8, 16, sometimes 20+ years fighting to impose your person as president for 8 years and then return to stagnation while waiting for another 8, 16 or 20+ years for another tenure? When you can have a simpler country with only your region ruled by a person from your region at all times? What is the real essence?
