unnatural backwardness

For as long as the Hausa Fulanis continue to view themselves as first amongst equals despite their natural and unnatural backwardness; for as long as the Yorubas continue to consider themselves intellectually more superior than others when they know next to nothing; for as long as the Igbos continue to cry wolf over nothing, and for as long as the minor and major minorities continue to think they've been welded into this union to remain serfs forever, then we must re-negotiate the terms of this union.
