^^ we dont even need to go that far!

lets just say not everyone wants to be forced to live under laws of religious nature!!

i even heard a yoruba state wanted sharia- were thier fathers fathers muslim??

if we were to implement any law it should be sango law- or ifa law- or obatala law

some people sef- tha arabs that brought the religion to you have abandoned it and are printin thier names on oil pipes

whilst the africans and asians are busy choppin off heads raging battles!

what a shame!

Nigeria will break up soon, we have clearly come to the end of the road. This union is not working and we need to try something else. Its not by force na! Let the people go since our leaders are so so incompetent. Mediocrity rules over brilliance.

LOL! How come it is only on Nairaland that there is agitation for Nigeria's break up !

ElRazur:

What a question. Now let us make it more applicable. How many Nigeria oriented forum do you use? Face book might be a place you want to check out.


How come the general indication is that people are willing to try something new, but you never seem to accept this particular point?

ElRazur:

Dude. Don't get mad at this. I have answered enough question and posted enough views on this particular issue you are saying. You may want to check the Original thread [the one with the poll asking if Nigeria should break up etc] It is about 29 pages or so long now and I contributed from page one to about 17 or so. Plenty post of mine in there for you to read.

It gets tiring going round and round in circles. Before you ask any question, pause and think it is higly likely that one person don ask am before and plenty answer don follow.


Here is a simple answer. A break up will see a new dawn and give the people the feeling of hope. That in itself is very powerful. Now, depending on how the break up is - whether war is involved or not - It will bring home some truth to the people.

The resulting break away region will be much more manageable. The current system in which Nigeria operate is a fraud [Something already explained in the thread I am asking you to read. Look out for a post by "Beaf"].  Each region can decide how to manage effectively their own growth, development, etc.  Less number in population will mean a more manageable one etc. For more answers, read the original thread. Thank you.

What do our future generations have to look foward to?
School Strikes?
Poor Healthcare?
Bad Roads?
No Emergency Services?
No Electricty?

It is nearing 2011 and we are living off Generators I dont see here unless there is a Hurricane!
What kinda life is this we just sit and fold or hands?
As long as we accept the bread crumbs?

Two main groups that seek seperation?

Even China Mainland and Hongkong

The division of Korea into North Korea and South Korea stems from the 1945 Allied victory in World War II, ending Japan's 35-year colonial rule of Korea. In a proposal opposed by nearly all Koreans, the United States and the Soviet Union agreed to temporarily occupy the country as a trusteeship  with the zone of control demarcated along the 38th parallel. The purpose of this trusteeship was to establish a Korean provisional government which would become "free and independent in due course."[1]  Though elections were scheduled, the two superpowers backed different leaders and two states were effectively established, each of which claimed sovereignty over the whole Korean peninsula.

The Korean War (1950-1953) left the two Koreas separated by the DMZ, remaining technically at war through the Cold War to the present day. North Korea is a communist state, often described as Stalinist and isolationist. Its economy initially enjoyed substantial growth but collapsed in the 1990s, unlike that of its Communist neighbor China. South Korea emerged, after decades of authoritarian rule, as a capitalist liberal democracy with one of the largest economies in the world.

Since the 1990s, with progressively liberal South Korean administrations, as well as the death of North Korean founder Kim Il-sung, the two sides have taken small, symbolic steps towards a possible Korean reunification.[2]

^^ There are a lot of people who can care less about the welfare of others, as long as they make their personal gain.

@mmwac- as smaller countries the people have a stronger control.
Seperated- for instance into 3 countries, it turns itself to focus on its own resources.
The East would be just as good for business, PH has a port. .
Development would create jobs and greater benefits for everyone.
More focus on power structure, due to less area.

Factories used to build machinery and etc would fund the country and feed the hungry throught workforce.
How can The east take help from the likes of Lagos who dont give a damm Huh



You worry about corruption, Corruption will prevail if Nigeria doesnt split.

Countries have spilt before, its not the end of the world.

^Power Stuctures can be built, and it turns creates opportunities for some.

Nigeria should break up! There is nothing anywhere to suggest that things can ever change here, more hungry thieves are joining the ones in government.

@sefago, when you need to move and you drive into a cul-de-sac (close ended street) naturally you will want to reverse and seek another option, road, street or even swim across a canal.
We have come to the end of the road here, do you want to remain in the cul-de-sac?

Nigeria should break up! There is nothing anywhere to suggest that things can ever change here, more hungry thieves are joining the ones in government. When will they get tired of free money - forever and one day! We have so much personalized corruption that it has become the only way of life here, abomination! Honest views are being squeezed out in favour of crookery, things are getting worse even as I speak, this nation is doomed to failure, let's allow the obvious to happen.

A person place of residency doesn’t diminish their knowledge of Nigeria and then ask yourself, why those abroad left in the first place if not the overwhelming impact of Nigeria you are claiming to know better than they do? It is a shallow reasoning and insulting for people like you to keep up with this argument about one’s residency.  Maybe because diasporas have lived abroad they have seen how a country is meant to be run and cannot be deceived again by the talk of tomorrow will be great based only on faith without work.
They have seen a nation like United Kingdom with almost 1000 years of history, but deemed it fit to devolved powers to their regions to stop the tide of quest for independent by the home nations of Scotland or Wales. So don’t pretend to know the mind of Alaba plantain sellers more than those abroad, because if not for those abroad, some at home can’t go to school or even eat once a day. One Nigeria crusaders like you, I have dared many times to put the one Nigeria question in a ballot box and let us see what the response will be, if not stop pontificating to know more than anyone else whether home or abroad.
During the dark days of Abacha, it was NADECO and others that fought for whatever semblance of demo crazy you are enjoying today, where was majority of NADECO member based or ran to during the struggle? Abroad! Where was the fund that supported the course comes from? Abroad!
If internet is not effective as you tend to belittling it, what are you doing on this forum? Mandela must be silly when he said that “Had there been internet during the apartheid era, the evil of apartheid would have been cut shot earlier.-unquote

~Bluetooth:

now ask yourself.what have the so-called nigerians in diaspora done to develop this country other than their numeous complaints.you claimed they have seen the way a country is run abroad and i will say;why cant they come back home and make the change or are they forbidden from contesting elections in their fatherland?.i have said it times without number that a referendum is the only thing that will determine if the TRUE home-based nigerians want secession or not.the nadeco members were challenging a military govt that KILLED a lot of oppositions which was why some of them seek asylum abroad or are they to face the babangida killer squad to be seen as real democrats also it was not funded by the regime but was infiltrated by agents of babangida to distabilize it. how does that relate to what we are talking about when nadeco objective was never about secession but opposition to bad leadership.

Sorry if I sound different but those abroad may not even help matters. Chimaroke Nnamani came back from his medical practice in the US, contested and won the Enugu guber elections and left as a name to beat in thieffry! He was a crook all the way. Most Nigerians are not leading honest lives abroad anyway.
