To every cause, there is a purpose. When a spark of fire is not handled as supposed, it degenerates into an inferno. The beginning of a thing marks the era of a new transition whether wrong or right. If it is a wrong transition, it would take the advent of a more powerful intellectually fortified generation to erase the damage and its continuity. The more a wrong transition lingers the worse the damage. The transition of tribal historic dogma is very powerful and it takes detribalize minds to stop its continuity. Normally, the growth of tribal historic dogma takes a fast-track process to become the norm or culture, especially in uneducated societies. The term culture put simply is the way of life of a people or the way we do it here. Culture as often proclaimed, is not rocket- science but a manmade belief system. Note! Anything manmade is subject to correction by man. Culture grows side-by-side with time, purpose, and standards. Thus, if the culture created by past generations is no more invoked, the present generation can change it. The most vulnerable reason for falsifying tribal history is to dogmatize its people with fraternize values. In all circumstances, the purpose of dogma is to create a rigid fraternity. So, mind the gap! Therefore, the sole purpose of falsified history for tribal dogma is to fraternize its people. The aim of fraternizing dogma is to incarcerate the mentality of a people, lure the thinking forms of a people into graveyard siege and corrupt the sensibility of a people, and render them incapacitated to think independently.
Going by great fact findings, dogma is the cheapest way to clone the mentality of a people and to weaken the fabric of their minds from thinking independently. It creates plastic mold that constrains people to think in the box. It takes people who think independently to liberate themselves from the pangs of tribal historic dogma and culprits are aware of this fact. So they trickily engage the service of mental deities to prevent the people from breaking their dogmatic bounds. The program called mental cloning is the worse slavery a society will ever be drawn into. The future of such a society is incarcerated and not until the advent of self-discovery, such society would remain in permanent captivity of a few people. When a dogma is well branded, it puts casualties in a state of hard-to-defile fraternity. This is often the foundation of barbaric ethnic cultural dichotomies, the outcrop of unhealthy archaeology, and the passing on of hash cultural heritage to other generations.
THE EMERGENCE OF A NEW AGE
We seize this great occasion today, to crave the indulgence of the citizens of our noble nation (Nigeria) to open wide our minds, to be receptive to a new wave of information on the way concerning our national historic upheaval, and to embrace the blatant truth. This is the only sure way to explore and maximize the inexhaustible natural resources
God blessed our treasured nation with. If you are a true son and daughter, you should know that Nigeria is the only place God gave us as our proportion on earth. We must be jealous to tend it, showcase it, and defend her integrity with all our strength, might, and vigor. On this note, a distinct intellectual generation is born and risen, standing out with torchlight in the midst of darkness, pointing out the light to emancipate our cloned mentality from the pangs of ethnic crisis. We have come with all the necessary facilities and especially, with superior intelligence to champion the course of holistic eradication of ethnic crisis in Nigeria. This is the time and far over ripped to right our thwarted mentality about our national history. It takes the complete participation of every citizen of society to erode ethnic crisis from the land. Ethnic crisis anywhere in the world lives in the wrong mental approach of a people to its national historic values. Any human society is devoid of rights and historic values are lost to the future. To right a thwarted mentality of a people about her historic values means the emergence of a new great society.
RELEASING TAMED ETHNIC SOCIETY
One of the commonest factors ascribe to a tamed ethnic society is the breeding of uneducated minds. Such a society will continue to wallow in perpetual fear of a few self- arrogated powerful people. Such a society is equal to the animal kingdom. Animal kingdom ascribes a society where the strong survive at the peril of the weak. A society with falsified history would never lack the ability to adventure. Any society where ethnic crisis prevails over is a sign that the mentality of its citizens is tamed. In such a society the people will live in outright confusion, commotion, and casket cage. They would lose focus and will live as a ‘crab community in a basin’. In a tamed ethnic society, everyone works against each other and no one is willing to make way for the other. For this reason, when corruption erupts the society, the interest of the people will remain divided to defend culprits of the same ethnic nationality. By implication, such kind of interest marked the beginning of injustice in the land. In a tamed ethnic society, the people popularize competition rather than complement. Where this exists, foreign impostors sponsor conflicts to distract the people more, invade their land and do away with its resources. There is a lot to download on this subject, but we have to follow through gradually. Your part is to get ready and to join your hands on the desk as one people to quell that ancient inferno set by our ancestors. Once this is tidied up, we would be good to set our generation on the plane of greatness.
WHAT DOES ETHNIC CRISIS MEAN IN NIGERIA?
The description of ethnic crisis in Nigeria is simply a big shame. Reading through foreign news, our hearts bleed profusely for the fast-sinking condition of our noble fatherland. In an attempt to reconcile our minds with the illustrious labor of foreign fallen heroes and especially, how the sons and daughters of developed and developing nations of the world inherit blessings from their ancestors while back here in Nigeria, the reverse is the case; it bleeds our hearts the more. To be candid, it is impossible to develop a society under the siege of divergent disunity among the people. Under such conditions, everyone thinks against each other’s opinion. It takes agreement to tangle, promote harmony and develop society. It is in your hands and mine to end the siege of ethnic crisis in Nigeria today. The values of ethnic crisis project erroneous culture. Ethnic lords enshrine contradictory values as generally accepted values to propagate their personal ambitions. We cannot continue to complain, blame others, make flimsy excuses, and cast aspersion at something else while ethnic boisterous storms were robust and expect the development to fall from the sky. What is so certain is that people who make things happen do not complain or make excuses but take responsibility to resolve their problems, despite obstacles. The cause of ethnic crisis in Nigeria is not an external invention but internal, so it requires internal resolution to sort it out. Nigeria’s ethnic crisis situation cannot be resolved until we become ashamed of the disgrace it brings to us as a people or nation. The moment we become ashamed of the disgrace it brings upon us, we would become restless to find a solution. We would understand the fact that ethnic crisis is a major cause responsible for our national underdevelopment. And then, we would no longer resist any progressive move that will take the nation to global dominance.
