Dear Ms. Joe and Collins,
This is a highly informed and intelligent discussion.
I wish it could progress as such without ad hominem slur.
In my view Ms. Joe holds her logic no less effectively than the counter.
That a thing has not occurred is no proof it can never occur.
Anymore than a feasibly difficult endeavour can be declared impossible.
With usual esteem,
Seyi

Sir, from Restlessness you ensue and in Restlessness you shall be remain. Disrespectful dudes like you are like asocial gadflies in public space. You exist to point fingers but not a way. You do not use a funk headline and expect me to respond to you. So fade away or remain restless in your zone of oblivion.

MsJoe,
Please answer these questions if you can:
If all these people are related as you wrote below, why haven't they formed single, individual nations to bring their tribes together?...
And why haven't Arabs who stretch from far northwest Africa to the middle east and speak the same Arabic (with variations) formed a nation? At least Afro-Arab republics (is that your Casablanca group?) should have had a nation by now, with just one president, but they don't and won't...
Additionally, from Kenya to South Africa, Swahili is the king language, but why are those people also not willing to form a nation?...
And why is Canada a different nation from the United States of America and both nations have never sought to form a mega nation, even as they are founded largely by the same kind of people from Europe?...
Why is New Zealand also not even entertaining any ideas of a common nation with Australia?...
Finally, have you suggested to Carribean nations (CARICOM nations) to abandon their individual sovereignties and just become one federal nation, instead of just economic cooperation among them?
I'm all ears and awaiting your answers while the gallery is entertained about this federated Africa you and your friends dream about.
Cheers,
Collins Ezebuihe.

Hello Dr. Fanusie:
Respectfully demarcated,there are doers and talkers - and both groups are complementary. Keep doing and let the talkers amuse the gallery. At least you believe in a cause and you are out in the pavement. The cause is not an untenable dream but from the lenses of pigeon-hole dwellers, it is totally unimaginable.
Multicultural America is more diversified in her salad bowl (not melting pot) realities than Africa. If anyone cares to study Africa's cultural landscape, the commonalities cut across swaps of national borders.
For examples, the Mandigos are in at least 8 African countries; the Ewes of Ghana, Togo and Benin constitute the Volta Club in Washington DC; the Tuaregs are inhabitants in Niger, Mali, Algeria, Libya, and Burkina Faso speaking the same dialect. Gambia and Senegal share the same Wollof tradition. The Hausas of Northern Cameroon and Nigeria and southeastern Niger, Cote d'Ivoire Chad, Togo, Ghana and Sudan are the same people. The fangs of Central Africa in Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon and Gabon speak the same dialect as the Presidents understand each other when they speak.
The Nsibidi, an ancient system of graphic communication is indigenous to the Ejagham peoples of Nigeria and Cameroon with their enigmatic Ekpe society culture. We can look at the last names of the Yoruba's of Southwestern Nigeria and Southern Benin Republic. Their total population of about 35 million is separated by artificial borders. I can go on but the point made is: there is no barrier that is inherently inimical to Africa emergence as a federated entity.
As a PanAfricanist of the Casablanca school of thought, I beg to differ with those who drive wedges by the approach used. The regional blocks are sum of the whole. A united Africa and the regional blocks are not mutual exclusives. Of course, the strengths of the regional groups is a win-win for Africa.
Best,
MsJoe
