 The Executive Director, African Pulling Institute, Professor Bell Ihua, lamented the wide division and polarization among social, ethnic, religious and political lines in the country, despite many years of nationhood since independent on October 1, 1960. Nigeria has not in its history been divided as it is today. So in 2019 we found that 45% of the country said the country was divided as at that time compared to four years ago, but in these 2021 studies 65% of Nigerians say that the country is divided, you know, compared to four years ago. Despite the findings, Professor Ihua says the research data guarded can assist the government in future national planning, where Nigerians will think more nationalist and not separatist. He urged the governments to activate a new movement that will galvanize Nigerians towards social cohesion and integration. He alleged that the government has failed to provide a platform or a justification for the country to remain as one indivisible entity. What the data does is not just to tell us grim stories about the country or tell us that things are not working, but it helps us to provide evidence for which policy makers can then sit down to say let's come back to the drawing board. If this is how citizens think, then how can we implement policies to build cohesion? He urges the media to assist government in nation building and national cohesion in their reportage by emphasizing aspects that unite the country.
