The unequal yoking of nationalities in the Nigerian state has made cohesion difficult because of the understandable differences.
Yet to untie this bond will break the unity since 1915.
The tripod stand of the three major tribal
domains;
Stands forged by force in 1914 by the
British ambitious chains.
These stand's can't be undone now without
rocking the pot uneasily,
Unless broken into pieces, they are already
knitted, though unequally.
United we stand Nigeria, divided we fall,
Nigerians, hold refrains.
