Why Nigeria May Not Last Beyond 2015...issues And Facts Laid Bare by Barywhyte(m): 2:13am On Jul 22, 2014
In 1885, the ‘fate’ of Africa was decided by a gathering of world’s European powers in Berlin, Germany. In the conference, an area in West Africa (which would later become Nigeria), was handed over to Great Britain, like a piece of chocolate in a birthday party. Following the handover, Britain exercised her rule by establishing her authority over the northern and southern protectorates. Consequently, in 1914, Britain through the then governor of northern region, Lord Luggard amalgamated the northern and southern protectorates, without the people’s consent. He later became the first Governor-General of the Nigerian Protectorate. His wife, Flora Shaw, also coined the name Nigeria.

The Beginning of The End

Like a house built on a faulty foundation, analysts believe that the amalgamation of the two protectorates, which was for the benefits of the imperialists, was like the mixing of oil and water. World renowned writer, Chinua Achebe, insists, “If the Berlin conference sealed Nigeria’s fate, then the amalgamation of the southern and northern protectorates inextricably complicated her destiny.” (There was a Country. 2012). In 1974, apparently realizing their mistakes, Sir James Robertson, the last colonial Governor General confessed 14 years after he left Nigeria that Britain (in amalgamating Nigeria) underestimated the power of ethnicity. Quoting copiously from his 1956 diary, Sir James noted: “The general outlook of the people (north) is so different from those in the southern Nigeria as to give them practically nothing in common. ”Comparing two European countries and Nigerian ethnic nationalities, he noted in his diary, “There is less difference between an Englishman and Italian, both of whom have a common civilization based on Greek and Roman foundations and on Christianity, than between a Muslim villager in Sokoto, Kano, or Katsina and an Igbo, Ijaw or Kalabari. ”Posing a rhetorical question on Nigeria’s future, Sir James asked, “How can any feeling of common purpose of nationality be built up between people whose culture, religion and mode of living is completely different?”
(Prof. Omo Omoruyi, The Origin of Nigeria: God of Justice Not Associated with an Unjust Political Order. 2002).

Little wonder, the late Yoruba leader, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, lamented: “Nigeria is not a nation. It is a mere geographical expression. There are no “Nigerians” in the same sense as there are ‘English,’ ‘Welsh,’ or ‘French.’ The word ‘Nigerian’ is merely a distinctive appellation to distinguish those who live within the boundaries of Nigeria from those who do not.” (In Path to Nigerian Freedom. 1947). Confirming our fears, Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Premier of the Northern Region, and leader of the ruling Northern People’s Congress (NPC) party, 12 days after our Independence, said:
“This new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great grandfather Othman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We use the minorities in the north as willing tools and the south as a conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us and never allow them to have control over their future.” – (Parrot Newspaper October 12, 1960). With these emerging revelations, you do not need to ponder why there is always one form of killing or the other in the north as well as the issue of religion mixed with politics. The fact is there may never be an end to these killings, although they can be converted from one form to another. Yes, the killings can be converted from the 1966 pogroms, religious riots, Maitasine, post-election violence, Jos killings, Ansaru killings to Boko Haram bombings etc. I term this the Law of Conservation of Killings. Just as we have in Physics the Law of Conservation of Energy (Related: The history of forcible conversion to Islam in Nigeria).

2015 Election and the US Predictions

A lot of articles have been written on the alleged United States National Intelligence Council predictions that Nigeria will likely disintegrate on or before 2015. While the "unpatriots" believe the alleged “doomsday” prediction, the patriots dismissed it as an unfounded rumor, insisting the US government never made such a statement, rather that the statement hinged on a mere assumption of “if s’ ” during a conference on sub-Saharan Africa in January 2005. However, beyond the alleged predictions, the event analyses and the current internal wrangling in the polity over the 2015 election, you do not need a rocket science to decipher a bleak future for Nigeria if the trend is not nipped in the bud. Thus while Nigeria was yet to recover from the the 2011 post-election violence precipitated by the pre-election threats from some northern leaders who promised to make Nigeria ungovernable if Jonathan contests the election, more damning threats are coming from the same quarters over the 2015 debacle.

For instance, smarting from his 2011 electoral defeat, General Muhammad Buhari, an opposition leader from the north, who contested against President Jonathan, warned of an impending doom in 2015. “Buhari who painted a gory picture of Nigeria as that of a hound and a monkey engaged in a battle for survival said, ‘God willing, by 2015, something will happen. They either conduct a free and fair election or they go a very disgraceful way.’ ”Continuing, he said, ‘If what happened in 2011 (alleged rigging) should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God, the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood.’” (Vanguard, May 15, 2012). Also, Alhaji Lawal Kaita said:
“We hear rumours all over that Jonathan are planning to contest in 2015. Well, the north is going to be prepared if the country remains one…That is, if the country remains one, we are going to fight for it. If not, everybody can go his way” – (LEADERSHIP, March 29, 2012).

Do we need any further proof of impending crisis?

In the same vein, the President’s men from the Niger Delta are not relenting in their efforts to ensure a second mandate for their kinsman in 2015. An ex-militant warlord, Asari Dokubo, spoke to newsmen and said. “I called this briefing because of events that are unfolding in the polity. Recently, the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta, Mr. Kingsely Kuku, made a statement in the United States of America, that the peace being enjoyed in the Niger Delta will not be guaranteed if President Goodluck Jonathan is not returned as President of Nigeria in 2015. I want to go on to say that, there will be no peace, not only in the Niger Delta, but everywhere if Goodluck Jonathan is not president by 2015, except God takes his life, which we don’t pray for.” – (Vanguard May 05, 2013)

World Powers Intervention on Boko Haram

The concern and current military intervention of world powers on the Boko Haram insurgency in northeast Nigeria are being viewed in some corners as a prelude or precursor to Nigeria’s disintegration. It will be recalled that, amongst other forms of criminality and crime against humanity perpetrated by Boko Haram Islamic sect, the world was enraged by the kidnap of over 200 female pupils in a High School at Chibok town in Borno State, on 14th April, 2014 by Boko Haram. Consequently, Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan solicited and received an offer for help from US, Britain, France, China, and Israel to rescue the abducted girls. Ironically, some forces in the north are clandestinely protesting against the foreign assistance by these nations insisting that they are on a selfish mission to Nigeria such as the balkanization or dismemberment of the country into many nations. They quickly pointed out that the coincidence of US intervention and their 2015 break-up prediction for Nigeria is suspicious. Articles have also been written on the internet and social media insinuating that Boko Haram is a covert operation of the US Central Intelligence Agency (Related: US Strategizes on Boko Haram).

Religious/Spiritual Angle

Since Nigeria is a religious country; the contributions of the Spiritual men in the affairs of the nation cannot be overemphasized. For example, I recalled reading Prophet T.B. Joshua’s message in March 2011 concerning the coming April 2011 general elections then. He revealed that over 50 containers of weapons have been imported into the country months before then, to be used during the April 2011 elections by party thugs. He also revealed that there will be bloodshed in a particular region of the country if a preferred candidate did not win the election. Well all that happened after the election is now history.

Now another Prophet, Apostle Johnson Suleiman, who is notable for his accurate predictions has warned Nigeria of an impending doomed if Jonathan contests the 2015 general elections. These where contained in his January 2013 predictions for Nigeria. No matter how bizarre this prophecy may sound, Suleiman has always made accurate predictions in the past concerning the country and individuals.

Panacea for Nigeria’s Unity

Indeed nobody can arrogate himself the absolute knowledge for Nigeria’s unity and development, except God. However, in my opinion unless Nigeria reverts back to its regional governments and entrench true federalism then ideas preventing a break-up may just be like tales by moonlight. Though some people are of the opinion that Nigeria's problem is not ethnicism, tribalism, but corruption, leadership etc., we forgot that what kills an AIDS patient is not the malaria that attacked him but the HIV virus that destroyed his immunity. That is why it is necessary that we must discuss the basis of our unity and how we are going to inter-live with one another. A National Conference or Sovereign National Conference, whichever name you call it, must be encouraged by all, provided that no legislative, executive or judicial powers will usurp the decisions of the people.

Though hopeful, I am not strictly optimistic that the ongoing National Conference in Abuja will do the magic. Because, following its constitution, I view it as a political tool employed by Mr. President to extinguish the agitation of the opposition forces in the north over his 2015 presidential ambition.

Nevertheless, only time will determine the direction the Nigerian pendulum swings. Till then I will remain a spectator.

All indices are showing a country on the brink of extinsion and U̶̲̥̅̊ are still there ruminating on what someone said over 60yrs ago. If a near sub-continent like USSR can split-up then who is Nigeria. Coming closer former Sudan was the largest country in Africa; they still ended up splitting. See people talking as if they are God. I just believe its just a matter of time b4 everybody find his/her own way. Just a matter of time!!

Has this country ever enjoy any iota of unity since 1960 or 1914? Has this country ever been united in anything before? Why do you guys become agitated and restless when the issue of secession is raised? Is there anything inherently bad in breaking up a failed and unworkable union. Which country of the world has its population roughly equally split between muslims and christians and in two different regions? This union cannot work. Believe whatever you want to believe

Nigeria is not failing but already a failed state. This Admin would in history either be cursed or applauded for splitting the country. It brought out the truth in us that we are not a nation.

Whether Gej wins next elections or not, there would still be problems. Nigeria is just ripe for disintegration. Hate to sound so pessimistic but all that is happening now is a clear indication of a country heading towards one destination.

My major concern is that we don't repeat the same Nigeria mistakes in the various regions. The mistakes of corruption, nepotism , and selection of corrupt government officials.

docsholz: The last line is d perfect truth

Thats it bro! Gosh I have no idea why people find it hard to see. Its fucking simple. very glaring; it didnt work out with Sudan neither does it work out between India and pakistan. Nigeria will NEVER be a nation. It wasnt one afterall.

The huge difference in religious fanaticism is enough to break us up.
Nepotism has always been there. Since we started, non-Muslims has always been killed day in day out in the north.
Any small misunderstanding, they carry up arms and kill non-Muslims, yet there is absolutely nothing ever been accomplished about it.

I wonder why we're so blinded on that fact. Why don't we all go our own way to avoid all these killings.
Religion is deeply entrenched in our politics, so IT WOULD NEVER WORKOUT.

Sell ur properties and get the fck out of there angry

Uthman Dan Fodio was an alien, an intruder and a Sunni Arab to and in Nigeria. He was never a Nigerian. Nigeria belongs to Nigerians of 29% Hausa/Fulani; 21% Yoruba from Kebbi, the source of River Niger(spiritual river euphrate) to the coast; 18% Igbos(Ibos) from Taraba, the source of River Benue(spitual tigris) also to the coast.others representing 32% comprise Tivs, Idomas,Jucunds, Ijaws,Ibibios e.t.c. and does not include aliens and foreigners like arabs. So you see, when you take 29% Hausa/Fulani out of a 100%, the remaining 71% are still the majority to take democratic decision in Nigeria without fear of favour. The fear of the caliphate should not be the emotions of Nigerians afterall.

Quite right, but what happens when decisions do not favor them?
The massacre continues?
