In recent time many Nigerians and foreigners have advocated for the disintegration of Nigeria which I know is not the best solution in ending the security challenges been faced in the country,especially that of terror.i am optimistic that many Nigerians who witnessed the last Biafra-Nigeria civil war will not want either a repetition or a replica of such.
Having given the issue of disintegration a second thought,because it is bound to be bloody and traumatic,other attributed factors are as follows:
- loss of lives and destruction of properties will be recorded;
- millions of those who may likely survive it will be displaced, while many others will be forced to seek refugee status around the subregion and many of those burgeoises instigating this disintegration won't be in he battle field,they will seek solace in foreign countries with all their wealth, the poor will fight and die and the burgeoises will return to enjoy peace;
- there will be wide spread poverty and the living standards will fall which will be greeted by malnutrition and starvation especially among the poorer segment of the society;
- arms will be proliferated which will lead to a breakdown of laws and orders, tribal armed battles will occur regularly and human rights will be violated.
Record has it that the civil war in Liberia with a population of 22million people, more than 2million people were displaced with 4million people dead.
We must really learn to live as a people or we will perish as fools

Tufiakwa that Naija should break.The Labor of our heroes past shall not be vain. Our fathers fought and died to sustain our Unity, we must guard it jealously.

I can give you 5 reasons why Nigeria should not break up

1. No one wants to experience another civil war again

2. Nigeria market favours some of us that are traders especially hausas, yorubas and igbos

3. A country like niger-delta would be invaded by neigbouring countries eg baifra, cameroon etc

4. Each country would be the laughing stock of the world as our economies would mean nothing

5. Too much investment by other Nigerians in states/cities like Abuja and Lagos. I don't think they are ready to lose that !

people have said that if nigeria breaks up the north will suffer, the south will gain and vice versa or that the west will loose. its is only a matter of time till we realise that we better together than divided.

violence we are experiencing today will come and go. the bloodshed is to much yet that what keeps us together. people quarell and the reconcile. we should not let foreign countries detect for us how our country should be.

look let me tell all NLnders if a civil war should break out the US will send its troops to the south to guard the oil and gas installations there, hey will go and protect the oil cos thats were there interest is not the unity of Nigeria.

these foreigners dont care about us, all they care about is what they can gain from us, its all about IMPEROIALISM.

WE MUST REMAIN TOGETHER. if we divide what are we to tell God that we departed from our brothers and sisters when wre supposed to solve our differences and forge ahead.

the problem is that Nigerians will always look for something to blame when we are the sole architect of our problems. We should learn to take responsibility of our problems and seek a way forward ourselves that wont lead to division.

I don't see Nigeria breaking up,we are strong people with charcacter,we also know how to pull through our challenges,the evil Boko Haram is just a night mare that will phase out soon.Disintergrating as a Nation is not even an option,our diversity as a person is what makes us unique.God forbid,I believe in Naija I know we will continue to be an indivisible Nation.

The sight of war alone is grievous to behold not to talk of the aftermath. Am sure no Nigerian is praying for such thing to happen and even I don't think the level of our insecurity has degeneratd to that but still Nigerians need to be very careful and prayerful so as to avoid the world powers from capitalizing on our lapses to enslave us again. Nigeria is a great country that other countries are envying...then we need to watch our paths. #naijagobeta

We are moving at a good pace...anything like war or sh**t may draw us back...we don't want that. Do u?

Often times I submitted that towing the path of war is not d best, though we have problems here and there, let's capitalise on our democracy to harness it gains and put our country back on right track. War leaves no one with good stories.

If the poster had to resort to fear mongering to make a case for staying together, then you know what, we might as well start seriously considering the alternatives right now. How utterly messed up, to think that the best excuse a person can put forward for a country staying together is fear of civil war, fear of being a laughing stock, and loss of investment. Nothing at all to do with shared goals and vision. Nothing to do with camaraderie. Nothing to do with mutual understanding and respect. Nothing to do with the fundamental questions of nationhood. What an utter shame!

we wont o, those that want to die, shud go hang themselves, just like the poster said, they will disappear and later appear when the helpless hav finish fighting and dying, our present challenges will pass, i believe, letz stl leave as one Nigeria, a bless Nation we r.

I cnt even imagine war, it gives me goose pimples, Kai! And one funny point stands, everyone thinking of war, disintegration will be nowhere to b found, with their passive nature, letz stl live as one bearing in mind that the Boko haram phase will phase out, it is possible

If Nigeria should break up, of what profit would it be to all of us?. I bet u, people from East, West, North & South would still cry "had I known" in d long run.
Is it not better we put tribal sentiments aside and make a headway

War is not even the last resort,we are strong people,with strong character,we can't afford any at this point in time....our diversity is what makes us unique amongst other Nations....war never brought solution to any country,lets Libya and Iraq they are all suffering the consequences of war.......We must all put hands on deck to make Nigeria better....

Say NO to disunity, say YES to One Nigeria. We have all it takes to remain as one. It's selfishness that is fueling the clamour 4 division, a sensible person knows that it is not d solution to the problem of Nigeria. What We all need is a re-orientation and change of attitude.
Wait a minute, did someone just say War?

Mr poster,am impressed with your well tailored article.their have been too much instigations in recent times...kudos !

At what point does your strength become a weakness?

Are the looters ready to hold an SNC publicly? Must division, if it be the only way forward, be bloody?

How can you discuss peaceful agreements when people do not understand what love for each other is? When most Nigerians have placed faith/religion above patriotism? When the 'Nigerian' has no identity?

Who is a Nigerian? What makes one a Nigerian? What of the tribes/ethnic groups that feel they have lost a lot to this ficititious project Nigeria? Would you force them to forgive, to forget?

The basic foundations of our nationhood have been destroyed beyond any redeemable means. I believe it would be best we split up, but amicably..
