One of Nigeria's premier intellectuals, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, gave a lecture titled "It is Cheaper For Nigeria to Stay Together," in which he pleads for Nigerian unity while arguing for social justice and fairness. I cannot imagine a better emissary of peace and justice, packaged in intellectually rich language and insightful analysis. It is not just cheaper for Nigeria to stay together; it is better and more conducive for human flourishing. It is morally more desirable.
Be well.
