nigeria's War Of

African Unity
See Nkrukah's
Ambition Resented
By Many Nigerians

Nigeria's current "war of
words" with Ghana is a signifi-
cant indication of the stresses
besetting African unity.
Both are former British
colonies in West Africa which
have won their independence
in recent years-Ghana in
1857, Nigeria in 1860.
Both have a deep emotional
commitment to the ending OF
colonialism, are vehement in
their opposition to racial dis
elimination, and are intent on
consolidating the new stature
Of the African.
They have many other aims,
and problems, in common. Yet,
in the last few days, pickering
which has been going on be-
tween the two countries for
some months has exploded in a
bitter war of words at govern
ment level.
