Writing about a paper that existed in time and space and has ceased publication is not a superior feeling. I am happy to note that despite the misfortune of publishing in Northern Nigeria, a few other publications—Leadership, People’s Day-to-day Trust and Blueprint have sprouted even right after Trust blazed the trail at the close of the last century. They have been able to climate the storm, even though they are nonetheless quite a few actions adrift, in comparison to their much more illustrious and thriving peers in the South. I am especially delighted to be here to speak on an situation that concerns all of us writers.
No matter if a journalist or inventive writer, the goal of most writing is to bring up conversation, and a single can only develop a conversation out of a physique of published function. So, we mostly create to be published. It does not matter in whatever form. Let me state right here that my discussion on the challenges of publishing in Northern Nigeria will only concentrate on newspapers/magazines or the news media publishing and NOT publishing in the broad sense of the word. I do not know regardless of whether I am best suited to write/speak on publishing in the North, provided the reality that I was only (and I am nonetheless) a poor employee at the mercy of the publishers/financiers. In that case I would not know as a great deal about the economic burdens the publishers faced that led to the closure of their newspapers.
Nigeria’s ethno-geographic diversity is frequently cited as a big stumbling block towards its unity and oneness of objective. It is usually believed that a heterogeneous nation like Nigeria is additional unlikely to evolve a national consensus over sectional interests than a homogenous nation. The deep rooted interrelationship that exists involving the different peoples of Nigeria is further illustrated in the similarity of languages, norms, customs and conventional types of worship. From the way marriages are contracted to the conduct of funeral and chieftaincy rites, a typical thread of commonalities - with just slight variations in line with individual community’s peculiarity - runs via. On the basis of the sociology and anthropology of the constituent peoples of Nigeria, historical evidence suggests an intricate web of connections amongst pre-colonial Nigerians all through the length and breadth of our contemporary geographical reality.
It is a fallacy that Nigeria is produced up of a number of ethnic groups who had small or absolutely nothing in typical and have been forcefully merged collectively for the comfort of the British colonial enterprise. From the 4 cardinal points of the country, there existed and nonetheless exists an organic interconnection of the many peoples and culture of Nigeria that reveals so substantially in commonalities. For instance, Igbo speaking communities of Onitsha, Uguta, Asaba and Agbor are descended from Benin, a kingdom, which shares a prevalent ancestry in the mythical figure of Oduduwa, with the Yoruba of western Nigeria. The deep rooted interrelationship that exists involving the numerous peoples of Nigeria is further illustrated in the similarity of languages, norms, customs and classic forms of worship.
From the way marriages are contracted to the conduct of funeral and chieftaincy rites, a common thread of commonalities - with just slight variations in line with individual community’s peculiarity - runs via. A great deal of Nigeria’s 5 hundred ethnic groups and languages are nothing at all but dialects of the original language spoken by a frequent ancestor. Chances are that if a DNA sample is obtained from a Kanuri man in Borno, it may possibly completely match that of an individual from Asaba. Herein lays the folly of sectionalism a man from Daura could possibly just be marginalising his cousin from Onitsha. To attain sustainable national unity, Nigerians should evolve a national identity that is Nigerian and de-emphasise ethnic sectional identity in the new consciousness of our shared cultural and racial heritage. As a result, there is no such issue as a "Yoruba race" or "Igbo nation". Both the Yoruba and Igbo, as nicely as other ethnic groupings belong to one particular race - the negro and one nation - Nigeria. China is a multi-ethnic nation like Nigeria. There are hundreds of ethnic groups in China. Nigerians should realise that contemporary Nigeria is their geographic reality, which is not a "mere expression". The individual survival of Nigerians depend on the collective survival of the Nigerian state, in a quickly-paced globalising world.
