Almost all Europeans fought civil war just the same way like their American counterpart, yet none of them are using the word: Unity in every comment they are making regarding their country. But here in Nigeria; one can wake up and boast how he Fought to keep the country as one. For me this is intimidation and mockery to the losing side of the war and such rhetoric fuels agitation and amber of hatred.
