I Was Afraid Nigeria Might Be Like Somalia, Says Buhari by dre11(m): 6:19pm On Jun 16, 2015
By Ben Agande, Abuja.
President Muhammadu Buhari in South Africa said that despite the possibility of some ‘crazy people’ trying to ensure the breakup of the country for selfish reasons, Nigeria will remain one indivisible country.
He Spoke in Johannesburg, South Africa while meeting with the Nigerian Community there.
President Buhari stated that though he would have wished to be president at a much younger age, he would still do his best to ensure that the country is moved forward.
He regretted that ‘strong men’ have destroyed institutions in Nigeria but promised that his administration would do its best to ensure that institutions bequeathed to the country by the British colonial leaders were restored.
Speaking on why he joined politics, President Buhari said he wanted to meet the expectations of the teeming masses of the people who had continued to troop to him to request for one favor or the other.
“I was afraid Nigeria might be like Somalia. The Somalis are the same people they are all Muslims but because the elites are self-centered, selfish, they have succeeded to make Somalia a war country for the last 20 years.
“For that reason I said Nigerians are much more vulnerable, we have so many nationalities no matter how you look at it, Hausa-Fulanis, Kanuris, Ishekiris, Yorubas, Igbos. We are actually people of different cultures but since 1914, we have merged inspite of religion and culture, married across, produce children and only crazy people caan think of balkanising Nigeria. But we are not short of crazy people that is the frightening part of it.

More details soon

Dear Lord,

I come boldly asking for Your divine safety and protection over Nigeria. You instructed us to always pray, for You are able to keep, take care of, and bring to pass the things that we commit unto You in prayer. Lord, we commit all things into Your hands. We pray that You would assign strong and mighty angels to watch over our country, cities and communities. May You encamp each one in a hedge of protection to keep safe in all their ways.

We bind Terrorist, every principality, and every spirit of darkness from hurting or harming us as a nation, in any way, by the authority of your name.

Lord, Let your wrath be upon any group of person, individual who plan to make Nigeria ungovernable or have intention of turning my beloved country to most dangerous place on earth just like Somalia.

Tuoooo, tuooooo, tito babale kotun pade senu mooo... eleyi ti mo wiyi aro aromo.

God forbid Nigeria becoming like Somalia.

The country would have split at least 3 different ways before then.

Wish still remains....

All those clamoring for succession, our president has just declared you 'crazy'. I cannot say I disagree with him as we have been one nation for over 100 years,we are too small of a nation to even think of splitting up, in fact we should be trying to claim back more land of which was taken from us by our nieghbours e.g Bakassi.
