Imagine you have a team rowing a boat. Ideally they should all row in the same direction to make progress.

However, what happens when half the team rows in one direction, while the other half rows in the opposite direction?

Would that boat still make progress and move forward?

To be a successful country, you need all forces pushing/pulling in the same and right direction, not the case in Nigeria, with each tribe pushing and pulling in different directions, hence the country’s stagnation.

There will be competition between Ya-raba and Biafrans and that competition will catapult the two countries to very great heights.

The northern leaches that are pulling us back can now have backness all to themselves

England or USA are countries that accepted their country because that has been their ancestral identity or they came together and agreed to be a country and they have been like that since ages ago, no body was forcefully conquered and treated as conquered.

Over here, nigeria is not only divided on Tribe lines, it is also divided along religion lines.

Igbo people were forced to belong to a country the so much hate, Fulani thinks this is 18 century of conquest, Ya-raba will go with a certified clueless illiterate instead of trusting an Igbo man Now, tell me how such country will grow?

There is no guarantee that a divided Nigeria would work. But guess what? It can’t be worse than the present Nigeria. The present Nigeria is hopeless and has failed in all ramifications. People are aware that dividing Nigeria is a gamble. A GAMBLE, THAT PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT ITS CONSEQUENCES. Whether it works out perfectly or not, it is a better option than lying to oneself about “false unity”. Any which way you choose to see it, it is the right step to be taken.

Ps. Global racism is more likely to be eliminated before Nigeria enjoys unity. Just a mild way of saying “Nigerian unity” is merely a farce and outrightly IMPOSSIBLE from all logical indications

Not every union is meant to be. Not every union will bring happiness and progess. The fact that the union of the UK and USA brought happiness and progess for its people does not mean the same will happen for Nigeria

Lord Lugard brought us all together in 1914 thinking that uniting us will bring prosperity and progress, did it? It has been a disaster. We have been fighting each other for over a hundred years and we have ended up porverty capital of the world. Smaller countries like Ghana and Rwanda are better run and are progressing.

Bigger is not always better. Nigeria has proved to everybody to be a mistake. It is time to divide this burning house of Lugard called Nigeria

please know what you are saying

don't compare Nigeria with UK & USA

UK knew that there diversity can be a problem judging from their historical origin and series of events that took place thus they opted for a parliamentary/con federal system of government with each nations running their affairs, and the centre being week..go and watch the brexit saga and see how daring representatives from those nations talk to the British prime minister. They knew a centralized system or presidency will never work for their collective progress

as for USA..the number of tribes or nations even you quoted weren't the native owners of that land but the west Indies. US upon its discovery became a free all for every nation that migrated there & collectively formed a country.. they werent geoethnically & religiously divided with traditional landmarks & systems like Nigeria. they were colonised but got pass it as the fate of their country wasn't handed over to one particular ethnic group like what happened in Nigeria, they fought a civil war that was centrally based on selfish elite class conflict happening between the North and South not because of religion or ethnic/nation supersession/cleansing like what happened in Nigeria...
They are better because their origin made it possible for them to mix..the nations that arrived in USA didn't go claiming one geographical land region as theirs. that's why the presidential system suits them even they may not be practicing confederalism but u are aware of the power each state has in US.

so stop with your erroneous comparison..
there are nations that have divided and doing better.. hegemony of state can help accelerate development

so ur logic is plainly false
its a matter of which system would suit a country judging by their history origin/events

Ask yourself what Lord lugard was thinking when he brought over 360 class of ethnic groups and welded them into one nation.


What was lugard thinking carving people from Niger republic, Chad, Togo, benin republic and move them here as Nigerians.


That's the root cause of all problems.

Biafra don't have the resource and knowhow to catapult to anywhere. The east without the oil producing state will be a poorer version of Cameroon.

The far north will suffer without the middle belt because they lack the arable land, educated population, religious tolerance to attract investment and is obviously landlocked.

South south will be the richest nation by far, they will have their 2m barrel oil production to less than 20m people alone. They have reasonable other resource in natural gas, arable land ( Edo, Delta, cross river) and relatively educated workforce.

South west will developed well and we the omoluabi will be a great country where things will finally work

All these other countries you listed were a French creation. Nigeria was carved up from the great Yoruba state, hausas city states, pagan tribes of middle belt, minority tribes of the delta and igbos semi autonomous villages of south eastern Nigeria

Population only become useful when they are educated, you have the resource to cater for their well being and when you have a serious head start.

Every over populated developing countries always find it difficult to developed.

In reality, population is never a strength, the smaller the population the better

Nigeria is not supposed to be one country. The diversity is extremely much. We are just too diverse.

We don't speak the same language and we don't have the same beliefs.
Without these two, there will be no progress

How do you expect someone in Benue to think like someone in Zamfara?

The annoying part is that people that don't contribute nothing to the country are the ones ruling it. Most northern states ought to have been together with Niger. Nigeriens have many things in common with those core northern abok!s

Nigeria should have been four or five different countries.

South West should have been a single country
South East and South South should also be a separate country.
Nasarawa, Benue, Plateau, Southern Kaduna and some parts of Abuja should have been another country.
North East and North West should just be together.


Unless Nigeria is split into many countries, this country will not develop even in a trillion years time.

Forget the concept of restructuring. Even if Nigeria is restructured, things will still not work. There's no love among Nigerians. We hate ourselves, we just can't be one country.

I don't know of any country in the world with this much diversity that is developed. We just cannot develop.

Ask most Nigerians, they want the break up, we've suffered too long.

In ten, fifteen years time, things will be so bad in this country that only the elite will be able to survive.

Nigeria of yesterday is better than Nigeria of today.

We need to split, we really need to.

There's serious trouble in this country and only a break up can fix it

We've seen what Nigeria as one looks like. We have too different values and believes. We have too different ruling capacity. One wants to develop, another wants to hold onto power; who's going to be the next president is all they care about. What one considers as marginalization, the other sees it as a blessing. An example was a comment I read from a Yoruba that said SS should be grateful of the 13% given out of oil exportation despite everything else stolen or ignored by the FG. Yes, rather insulting but shows he saw nothing wrong with that injustice.

I've been on this website and seen others take joy in other region's misery or some wishing death to other regions. This is not a country that will survive. We are destined to fail with the mindset I've witnessed by Nigerians on this forum and other social media. We have political goons hired by our politicians sowing hate. We have a generation of youths that don't care about anything but BBH, YouTube or sex.

This country is better off divided. Even if each nation experience the same problem, I don't believe it'll be in the same capacity as it is in Nigeria right now
