Abuja – Prof. Abdulhameed Ujo of the Department of Political Science and International Relations, University of Abuja, has warned some groups and individuals involved in agitations to dismember the country to weigh their actions.

Ujo sounded the note of warning in Abuja on Wednesday.

He called on the agitators to have in mind that no sitting government would support the dismemberment of the country under its watch.

The university lecturer said the call for disintegration was an indirect call for another civil war, adding that no country in world had succeeded two civil wars.

According to him, there are various peaceful approaches to getting what you want but not to mobilise and instigate the people to violence.

‘‘I have a feeling that the idea of disintegration does not even arise, If they are thinking of disintegration, they should take some factors into considerations.

‘‘If we are to go into disintegration, we are going to have another civil war and there is no country that has ever survived second civil war,” he said.

Ujo said the agitation by Mr Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, was not in the interest of the South-East people and Nigerians.

According to him, the South East people are highly integrated in the country; Igbos are very industrious in business and are all over the country.

‘‘They have business structure all over Nigeria and somebody wanted to cause problem without considerations to the value of their investments outside the region.

‘‘Does he want all of them to go back to the South-East? The region has no enough land mass to accommodate them and their businesses.

‘‘The differences we have are likely because the country is not well integrated and I have always said that there is a need to reinvent the process of reintegration in Nigeria.
‘‘We can unite as a country and become a very powerful nation in the global system,” he said.

The don said some agitators’ grievances were correct but must be handled through constitutional means without causing violence or over heating the polity.

I can't believe that this trash is coming from a professor and pol sci prof for that matter. ( His professorship should be questioned) he must be a backyard product.

Is a call for secession a call for war.?
Is a call for secession a call for xenophobic attack ?
The earlier we start differentiating these, the better.

That man is not a professor, check him well.
Even political science student cannot vomit this poooo.

Are there no foreigners that are doing their business peacefully in Nigeria, where should Igbo case be different in Nigeria ?
Mind you, any where you did not see an Igbo man is not habitable environment. If you chase them away for you to take the properties they have outside Igbo land (which is impossible because there is law that covers them), your economy will collapse according to Aunty Kemi (the controversial journalist)who said and I quote " Igbos are going no where, they must remain in Nigeria because if they leave, the economy of SW will collapse". So it's a win win game for children of God.
Even if it's possible for you to take their properties, let it be at the back of your mind that claiming properties is different thing while maintaining it is another thing.

What I know is that 90% of the South east Igbo people will disagree for disintegration when asked privately. This people are scattered all over the country and beyond like no other tribe, with major business investments and homes built outside their region where they have been integrated into.It is never in their best interest for them to pull out now.
Biafra would have been best achieved in the late 60s,not now.
Also considering that their population is more than the land mass,the Niger Delta also will never join them thereby limiting their resources to survive as a country.

The only ones shouting this Biafra are mainly artisans and market men and women as those who have invested heavily in other regions stay away from the so called Biafra.

Nnamdi kanu should stop deceiving the ordinary Igbos and ask for something that can be achieved and beneficial to his people. Let everyone region sit down and talk to resolve issues.

Never again shall we witness the ugly events of 1967-70.
