Africans see many advantages in uniting the continent into a single nation, or in uniting several small nations of a particular region into a nation. In unity there is strength. Africans often point to the United States, formed by the original 13 states, as an illustration of this principle. Africa now is divided into many weak nations; united they would be much stronger. Africans could then more easily deal with foreign efforts to control them. Also it would be easier and less expensive to plan and carry out big projects like the building of highways and dams.
The considerations for African unity go beyond the practical advantages it would bring. As we have seen, the feeling of belonging to a particular nation is not strong among Africans. If, for example, you were to ask a man from Paris, "What are you?" he would certainly answer, "A Frenchman." Ask the same question of a man from Ibadan in Nigeria and he might give one of three answers, or all three, depending upon his education and outlook. He might say, "A Yoruba"(his people), or "A Nigerian", or just simply "An African" .
Another factor that enters into the desire for unity is that educated Africans throughout the continent feel that they all have many things in common. Africa’s leaders, especially, all lived through the experience of colonial rule. Many of them went to school and university with men who now lead other African countries. They all feel resentful about the way in which they were treated in the past. Compared to these strong bonds, which
overshadow
the borders of nations, the idea of building separate nations does not have so much meaning. Some leaders say they are ready, in fact, to give up their separate nations. Four nations have written into their constitutions a provision that the government may give up its power to
a Pan-African government
. [br] The word underlined "overshadow" most probably means "______".
