Despite the ongoing pro-Biafran protests rocking some parts of the country, President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday said Nigerians had resolved to remain one.

He said the fact that the country witnessed a lot of internal strife and a civil war since independence and has remained united was a proof of the people’s resolve to remain one.

Buhari spoke during the launch of the 2016 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Emblem and Appeal Fund at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He said he was proud to address the gathering in honour of those who he said devoted their lives to the service of the country and the world at large.

The President said, “Today’s occasion reminds us of the need to appreciate the noble contributions of our fallen heroes who paid the supreme sacrifice to maintain national and international peace and security.

“Our nation has recently celebrated 55 years of political independence and continues to remain as one indivisible entity despite several grievous challenges.

“Since independence, Nigeria has witnessed a lot of internal strife, survived a civil war and has remained united.

“This feat achieved by the country is an eloquent testimony to the determination of our citizens to remain as one people.

“The sacrifices of our fallen heroes, heroines, and veterans who rose up to the security challenges cannot go un-noticed.”

While describing the current terrorism challenge as a trying time for Nigeria, Buhari described the theme of this year’s remembrance, “Motivating the Nigerian Armed Forces for Effective Service Delivery” as very apt for the current realities.

He lauded men of the nation’s armed forces for their courage and sacrifices in grappling with the wave of terrorism, oil theft​ and piracy in some parts of the country, saying they have displayed unalloyed loyalty and commitment to Nigeria.

I am Nigerian and don't want to remain a Nigerian!

Can someone kindly tell the dingbat dullapo of a president to wake up and smell the coffee!

We are tired of being in the same territory with nitwits.


100% Niger Deltan

Yes we remained one regardless of our shortcomings and we will remain one after all the deed has been done.

Eveyone needs our oyel. let no one be greedy.

However we are giving a last shot for good governance and a functional system for the future of our children's children.

The only thing I love in Nigeria is the Super Eagles. Aside that,all hail Biafra

the dullard has refused to use his brain... team #biafra. blessed people

one nigeria is a scam

We all agree with you, there's no point dividing nigeria. All those agitating for biafra should be charged with treason.

Dullaaard

The zoo's end is near

The chief baboon and terrorist has woken up from his doldrums

Biafra has already left the zoo

Keep deceiving yourself king bubu of northern nigeria

If other ethnic groups want to be in Nigeria, igbos have shown they don't wanna be part of this forceful marriage anymore....

So let them go

Yes oh to keep Nigeria one is task that must be done. I remain firm and steadfast on this singular axiomatic fact!

Except we Biafrans. Read the second part of my signature.

Buhari is a tribal and religious bigot. A man who only sees good in the North. The North is a heavy load to the rest of Nigeria, it's dragging the country backwards.

Yes we are....

Hehehe.... Food is ready for the transition radio secessionists... Ngwanu wete nu efere

Buhari has bribed the press for a media silence on Biafra, especially the western press, inspite of the nosediving Nigerian economy.
We know already, and since he has decided to continue living in denial, we have started plans for PROTEST 2.0.
I PITY Nigeria, this time, we will spell it out for everyone, they won't be able to ignore.

Yes ooo


All the miscreants rioting about Biafra have nothing to lose.

A struggle without any reputable leader apart from one small boy with dual citizenship who knows he can always fly to Britain whenever the war gets out of hand anytime.

Either jobless graduates who don't know where to vent their frustration or miscreants.

Sane Ibo guy doing his business does not give a hoot about any Biafra.

Imagine one f00l saying all ibos in the north should come back home.

I served in the north and all the houses in my area including the one i stayed had Ibo Landlords.

So they should abandon it because some mediocres just finished smoking red pepper.

some people're naturally greedy e.g. all the posters before me..

after they get the succession, they'll still kill themselves over the oyel.. greed! nonsense!
