President Muhammadu Buhari vowed, yesterday, in his home state of Katsina, to use all resources at his disposal to crush any agitation for the division of Nigeria.

The president said the country fought a civil war which claimed over two million lives in order to be united.

Buhari, who spoke at the palace of Emir of Katsina also urged Nigerians to be patient with his government as, according to him, the current hardship being experienced, may not be unconnected with efforts at laying a solid foundation for sustainable nation building.

Buhari was in Katsina to attend the state’s economic and investment forum which he will officially declare open this morning.

In a veiled reference to the current separatist agitation for Biafra being promoted by a group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Buhari warned it would be better for the entire country to commit mass suicide than to allow such campaign succeed.

He referred to the promoters of the agitation as “kids” who were not born during the civil war.  According to Buhari, “today, Nigeria is a strong and united sovereign entity because some people laid down their lives for the country.

At least two million people died during the civil war but, today, some people who were not born during the civil war are agitating for the division of the country. We will not let that happen.

For Nigeria to divide now, it is better for all of us to jump into the sea and get drowned

Speaking on the economy, Buhari regretted the fall of crude oil price in the international market and further noted that, at the inception of his administration on May 29, 2015, the price per barrel of oil crashed to as low as $30, contrary to what was obtainable during the 16 years of the immediate past Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government.

“We will not betray the trust Nigerians reposed in us and we will ensure officials of government also act in the national interest,” the President said.

In his remarks, the Emir, Alhaji Abdulmuminu Kabir Usman, urged the Federal Government to re-introduce boarding schools as well as teacher training colleges as part of efforts at producing quality teachers.

According to him, “teacher training colleges helped to groom quality teachers but these days, half-baked teachers teach in our schools.

“Also, in those days, boarding schools helped to maintain discipline among students and mould them into responsible adults.

Is buhari a clown or has he been infected with the lagoon flu from the oba of lagos, obviously ipob has a lot of work to do, if this is coming from a man who went to new York to campaign for the independence of Palestinians and has been in the fore front of the independence of western Sahara then nigeria is definitely ruled by unserious jokers and jesters

as an Edo man I don't give a flying f*ck for any successionist,but I guess if this messiah-wannabe as been up to half of his task we won't be facing this issue as seriously, even letting his brothers enjoying their f*ck culture of killing yet focus on other threats like they are not Nigerians starting showing glimpse of who he trully is,a deep tribalistic product of f*ckery

This statement credited to buhari is so unfortunate. His uncouth and unsuited outburst is unbecoming of a president. Very divisive and provocative. Buhari, be careful! U r nt an emperor! This is not 1984!

I refuse to jump into the sea or get drowned. That is not my potion.

Nigeria has expired. Nigeria is made up of people who do not have the same spiritual makeup.

Nigeria has expired.

Typical hausa/Fulani moslem.
Prefers to die than leave d niger delta resources alone.
Heard they tell their almajiris that d oil in d niger delta belongs to them cos d area is a conquered territory.

Lets jump carry go now.... Nigerians what are u doing - We are jumping,
jumping to where - jumping to the sea
dis man is always funny

Mr buhari does not realise that nigerians are already drowning. This man does not realise that all he has done so far in his first year as president is talk, fly, talk some more and fly again outside the country. Buhari is threatening people destroying pipelines but hasn't done anything to fulanis killing people. Guess the pipelines are more important to him. This man just wanted to be president and nothing else.

Na fear d catch am ooo. A man dat forbids alcohol but drinks brukutu, isn't he a dullard? Nnamdi Azikiwe said one Nigerian but Nnamdi KANU have a better view. Give us biafra and Aba will be like Japan. Give us biafra and Onitsha will be like China.

he's on daura weed.

All these threats of Lagoon and Drown sef

He went to Kastina to reassure his people that they are still in control of Niger Delta Oil. this man is a full blown dullard. he refused to talk on the Fulani attacks.

He won't say anything about the way his brothers murder the same poeple they are forcing to remain together. Any Igbo man who is supporting one Nigeria is an efulefu- a pitiable nonentity.

^^^^^Your hatred wouldn't allow you get sense otherwise you wouldn't be making such ignorant statement.
If you want to know about Buhari's position on the alleged herdsmen attacks and lack such information, google is conveniently available to educate you, instead of following blindly like sheep exhibiting such ignorant hateful trash.

https://www.google.com/m?q=Buhari+condemns+Herdsmen+attacks

Did he say anything about the fulani herdsmen attacks?
No. Not a word. But from there,he's already commenting on the recent Niger delta agitations.

Randomly estimating the number of war casualties then like he cares. This man's hatred for the ibo people is simply the propriety for their wanting out of this failed entity we call a nation. BTW, doesn't it sound quite preposterous that the same person who went to America to agitate for the independence of Palestine is the same person denying a people their desire for freedom. Hypocrisy has never been so obvious

Buhari the lagoon crooner

I jst read the article and buhari was not quoted to av said anitin about jumping into the sea

Sometimes i wonder if comments are sponsored on nairaland or u guys r jst plain dumb

LOL. I am not going to jump into any sea but the Federal government should make sure that the unity of Nigeria remains intact. As they are doing that, the government should start fixing the country as that would quell any future agitation.

What Buhari said was that he is willing to kill another 2 million just like his fellow Northerner Gowon did in other to keep the dream of Lord Lugard alive. Why? As an Igbo man, I can't imagine killing even a single person in other to be in the same country with them. But a northerner is prepared to kill 2 million. The same country Buhari is talking about is just a mere creation of the White man 102 years ago. Today, people want to kill for the same country to be together. The same Britain that created Nigeria was prepared to break up when they gave Scotland referendum in 2014, but a Nigerian is prepared kill other ethnic groups so that we can all be together. Africans have a very long way to go in terms of reasoning

Then buhari should be ready to fight war in all angle.

Dear zombies, say you last prayers! Ya demigod said he wanna get you all drown in the quest of keeping Nigeria one.

Oba Rilwan Akiolu over to you!! activate lagoon with immediate affect, it seems buhari is more interesting than igbos.

More watery beans into the plate of the Kuje Albino monkey.
