Nigeria: Zumunta USA - Reflections On a Nigerian Organization in the U.S.

5 January 2014
opinion

Zumunta USA (ZU) is an organization that every Nigerian should be proud of. It is a great example of egalitarian democracy.

The organization is made up of people and associated friends of Northern Nigeria who are together in a bid to improve life in the North. The group has numerous supporters among people with no filial links to Northern Nigeria. ZU is a non-profit, non-religious, and apolitical entity that cares about people even outside its membership. The members themselves display a strong bond among themselves irrespective of ethnic group or religion. Therefore ZU does not foster tribal or religious politics. The goal is to build and maintain a greater Nigeria and improve social, educational, economic and medical health development in the North. It is different from Zumunta Nigeria and has no operational relationship with it.
