British named them *Burma.* They rejected it, restructured & renamed themselves *Myanmar.*

-Britain named a bunch of people - *Nigeria.* They rather kill to preserve it than restructure and give themselves a befitting new name.

*"It is only an animal that bears the name that is given to it by his enemy"* (Proverb).

*THE FUTILITY OF PRESERVING NIGERIA*

*My angry reaction earlier today on APC UK platform:*

*Most of the Diasporans here living in Europe. Can you show me one multi-ethnic state in Europe where one group is positioned to dominate the rest that hasn't broken up?*

*For those who do not know, what you call ethnic groups in Nigeria are called nations in Europe.*

*There's nowhere in the world where the white man accepts domination from another white man in perpetuity.*

*It used to be so under the Roman empire and the like. Not anymore. The Communists tried it, dividing society into capitalists and proletariats, deluding themselves that ethnicity is effectively swept under the carpet, but what followed? The Communist edifices in Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and the big brother, USSR, all collapsed, while the two Germans that are ethnically the same but split by communism vs capitalism were reunited. Such is the power of ethnic nationalism.*

*Czechoslovakia was made up of two ethnic groups, the Czech and the Slovakians. Both separated peacefully on 1st January 1993. The former is today 10.6 million people and the latter 5.4 million. Added together, they're not up to Lagos. Yet, they split for peace. Two masters can't be in the same house.*

*Yugoslavia in 1991 was 23.2 million, barely more than Lagos population. It broke into six countries same year - all along ethnic lines, namely: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia.*

*Then the big brother, USSR. It had, at least, the following ethnic groups identified by their languages:*

*Regional languages:*

Ukrainian

Belarusian

Uzbek

Kazakh

Georgian

Azerbaijani

Lithuanian

Moldavian

Latvian

Kyrgyz

Tajik

Armenian

Turkmen

Estonian

*Minority languages:*

Abkhaz

Bashkir

Buryat

Chechen

Finnish

Volga German

Korean

Ossetian

Tatar

& various others.

*Today, your fingers will not be enough to count the number of countries that have emerged from the USSR.*

*Sit down there and be preaching unity in Nigeria as if you're the kindest gentleman on earth while you have no solution to the genocide in Southern Kaduna, the illegal but officially condoned arms in the hands of killer herdsmen roaming the country, and be condemning those better informed about the fact that the country is undergoing the strains of a forced union and should be peacefully restructured or let people go their separate ways.*

*In Europe, the two best examples of fairly stable multi-ethnic states are the UK and Switzerland. The former is led by reasonable men who permitted regional autonomy to the Irish, the Scots and the Welsh, while the English dominate Westminster. That's something some of us are asking for, but you're fighting against it in your own country wracked by ethnic crisis. Your own people are better off under oppression of fellow black men because your people have bad leaders who can't do better than their new internal colonisers.*

*The latter country, Switzerland, has four ethnic groups. Each of them rotates the presidency annually through seven cantons that constitute the federation units. All the four languages of the four ethnic groups are recognized as official languages and school languages to boot, namely: German, French, Italian, and Romansch that has just a few thousand speakers!*

*There's nowhere in the world where the Caucasians allow the domination of their group by another.*

*In Canada, Quebec is the only full French-speaking province, aside a little section of New Brunswick. The other seven provinces are English-speaking. Yet, Canada is bilingual for the sake of Quebec! And each of the provinces is largely self-governing.*

*Here we are in Nigeria, you have people arguing vehemently that a decrepit, structurally-flawed, and crisis-prone artificial contraption badly configured by the British only needs good people to survive. Why not centralise the powers of the British regions to London and see what happens?

No that’s why we must break this country

The problem is not the land or the name, it's the people and government structure.

Dahomey was not given to Benin by the French

The Irish, the Scots and the Welsh did not ask for it. They elected intelligent leaders who demanded it and presented plans and walked through the mire to achieve it, which we do not seem able to do yet which is why we are "arguing vehemently", which, to be honest, is much better than our previous attempt of separating - a civilian war - but definitely not good enough for the intelligent people we ought to have become by now to successfully divide our country, whether you like it or not, Nigeria.

We likely would separate one day, but as thesicilian said, "we the people" need to raise our game from the immature squabbling we have about it on here, and become the intelligent beings required to successfully negotiate tearing Nigeria apart.

We are not there yet, and no, we are not doing Yugoslavia! We are worthy of the Devolution of the Irish, the Scots and the Welsh, and the English, but we must evolve first like they did, but haven't really begun.

P.s. its an ongoing process you might note.

UK Fulani Fight Back

Zombies are coming for you sha.

Meanwhile, the highest lie ever told the black man by the white man is that there is “unity in diversity”.

Something they themselves do not practice.

Zombies, you can now attack.

You are not evolving anything.

You wouldn't say that if you knew how far we've come and how far we still have to go.

Yeah. We have to wait for the Yorubas to evolve intelligently before we can even talk of separation. Maybe we should try Regional Governing before the final Balkanization, so it won’t be a shock on our system.

If we start now, we might make it in 10-20 years. We can call phase one learning, or better still, a National Evolving Process, and phase two can be the devolution into separate Nations, though I do wonder how many!

Will there be the Republic of Delta, and Republic of Igbos, and Republics of the other ethnic groups in the region, as well as Republic of Fulani separate from the Republic of Hausa, and one for each diverse tribe amongst we Yorubas?

Seems you will have to evolve intelligently before I can start a discourse with you.

Zooposki:

That may be true. Or perhaps you need to evolve so you can discourse at all instead of being afraid to state your mind or opinion.

I promise. buda will not eat you.
