Sir,
The reason for this difference especially in Nigeria is due to the absence of a grundnorm that will order our daily activities on a national scale. Increasingly, patriotism and nationalism are becoming not only anachronistic but anathemas too.
Institutions ought to be greater than individuals who man them. The making of superstars out of Dora, Nuhu, and Nasir is symptomatic of this lack of a grundnorm while their sudden relapse to zero immediately after babacracy is symbolic of the contradictions and anachronisms prevalent in contemporary Nigerian nationalism and patriotism.
