Shehu Sani Identifies Four Events That Unify Nigerians

Amid ongoing political, ethnic, and regional divisions in the country, former federal lawmaker and public affairs commentator, Senator Shehu Sani, has highlighted four scenarios that consistently unite Nigerians, regardless of background or affiliation.

In a post published on his official Facebook page on Saturday, the former senator noted that moments of national pride and shared sentiment often bring Nigerians together.

He wrote:
Four things that unite Nigerians:

1. The Super Eagles — when they are winning;

2. South Africa — when xenophobic attacks are launched against Nigerians;

3. Our artists — when they win Grammy Awards;

4. Kemi Badenoch — whenever she makes critical remarks.

Sani’s comment, which blends satire with social commentary, underscores how collective emotions, whether of celebration or national outrage, temporarily blur the country’s internal divisions.
