I like a good argument with plenty of Logic. The OP has started with a conclusion that Nigeria is not working so it should break up .Why not say Nigeria is not working so it should assimilate Togo and Benin republic.

There are many good arguments to make for Nigeria to break up.Even if it is working that does not mean it should nor break up on the other hand breaking it up does not mean mean that the component parts would then work.

What needs to be shown is : Nigeria is not working BECAUSE it is together and if it breaks up it will work better.This is not an unreasonable position to take and then the appropriate argument put forward to back it up.

What I have a problem with is trying to pretend there is any logic or rationality to what is a purely visceral position and then an argument found or sought after taking a position.Sadly Logic is no longer taught in schools and our young people literally cannot think.
It is perfectly reasonable and human for us to break up even if it is working simply because WE DO NOT LIKE EACH OTHER even if we know that it will work LESS WELL thereafter.
The UK is working quite well and they still had a referendum.
That it is working is not reason enough to stay together and that it is not is not enough to break it up if it works even less well afterwards

As a yoruba man we must continue to deceive and dribble ourself in the manner you have exhibited while calling it 'logic'.
