Former President Olusegun Obasanjo today spoke on “Reconciliation, Reconstruction and Rehabilitation” at the #Biafra50 programme. The former President said, “After independence, Nigeria had 3 countries in one. The problems continue to haunt us as a country today. Unity had eluded us”. ''We must concentrate on building Nigeria, we must learn our history. There’s no substitute for us. “Nigeria must be treated like a love affair. We must massage Nigeria gently. Nigeria must mean something for everyone. http://www.newshelmng.com/2017/05/obasanjo-after-independence-nigeria-had.html cc lalasticlala |

Is better we go our separate ways than shedding innocent blood to keep the country one when we know that we can never be one. 1 Like 1 Share |

I'm glad at least he recognized we are 3-in-1 country.... Now, we all can go our separate ways... Also, I'm glad he said, Nigeria should be treated as love affair...now it is time for divorce... Afonja should be ready to stand on their 2 feet...they are grown man now...this is 50 years after the civil war for God sake... |

Nigeria was a three in one country and everything was fine, until some miscreants in uniform led by Ifejuna and Nzeogwu ruffled the delicate tripod in 1966 and by Ironsi later that year. 1 Like |

Yes we had 3 countries, and presently we still have. “Nigeria must be treated like a love affair. We must massage Nigeria gently. Nigeria must mean something for everyone." ..... the problem with this is that Nigerians can't love each other, nobody is ready to massage the other, its now killing, raping, name callings and fights up and down. Right now Nigeria means absolutely nothing to Nigerians |

If Nigeria had three of Obj's kind rule for eight years in an unbroken succession Nigeria would have been developed and united. I will never forgive him for Zaki Biam and Odi but the more I grow up the more I respect him and his actions. |

evilyoruba:It's an open secret who is the slave the Nation. Let me describe the slaves of the nation in a few lines; It is purportedly one of the 3 majority groups alongside the Yoruba, Hausa/fulani. Of the three, they are yet to sniff the seat of the presidency of Nigeria, which unfortunately, by coincidence, may not get anywhere close in the distant future. But as fate would have it, they were so reduced to become an Ijaw sla.ve when fortune smiled on the later, in their greed and desperation. They are the Unity Mourners but give them crumbs & they would wag their tails. -- Daddy. 1 Like |

Indeed. It was many organised and fairly stable states. OYO empire, Bini/Benin Kingdom, The Northern Islamic Caliphates, etc. The British came and claimed we were barbaric, wrote a false history for us, destroyed the previously existing economic and political structures, gave us their laws and we lived by them. I feel ordinarily, when we attained independence, we ought to have restored the political structures we have, we ought to have done away with the problematic structure called Nigeria. I felt we should have done away with the British laws. It's really not about a Biafran secession. It's about our real history, our real identities, our real political structure. Except we agree with Europe, that African states were indeed barbaric, or that there even were no states, or that we lived as animals until they came and civilised us. 1 Like 1 Share |

gberra:A slave is someone whose life depends on other's well wishes.... A man is someone who can stand onnhis 2 feet.... Yoruba's can't stand on their 2 feet, Yoruba is nothing without Hausa Fulani and Yoruba's is nothing without Igbo, hence Yoruba's is the true definition of a leech because Yoruba's can't survive on its own.... By so doing Yoruba's has become slave to the hauas Fulani's to survive and constantly begging and ridiculing to stay in Nigerian... Yoruba's has never been President by their own mmaking....Hausa Fulani out of benevolence always give Yoruba president once in a while...Nigerian is Hausa Fulani and Hausa Fulani's is Nigeria, hence Yoruba can't achieve a mere restructuring 2 Likes |

simplycarro: My point is that it was not like Nigeria was doing fine when struck. There was mutual suspicion amongst ethnic groups long before the coup. You think coups didnt happen in other countries around the same time? It happend Ghana, but Ghana got its act together and is now a beacon of democracy and prosperity. If one act of a coup is what destroyed Nigeria, then it means that Nigeria should not be together. There are far more disasterous national calamities that have befallen other countries and they pulled together and got through it. If we couldnt do this after the first coup, then the coup only exposed 'one Nigeria' as a scam. 1 Like |
