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 capítalism 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 cant 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
Armenian
Turkmen
Estonian
Minority languages:
Abkhaz
Bashkir
Buryat
Chechen
Finnish
Volga German
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 emerged from the USSR.
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 thee
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?
My Conclusion:
When many commentators read and repost or share your articles with many of their
friends and contacts, they do so because they want others to learn.

The name changing is just secondary in my opinion, once we split the name will automatically changed that's the point.
If you wants to continue with Nigeria that's your own cup of tea and for the backwards minded.

The country is messed up by those people up north..
The best decision is referendum so that every region will control their resources.
If that can't solve the problem let go our different ways.
We can divide the country into different region by voting in a well conducted referendum.

God bless you my brother for this post here....if Nigeria can be broken, then Grant regional autonomy to this geo political zones and let them develop at there own phase. River Niger and River Benue was used by God to draw a natural line of three regions for this country,yet Britain wave it aside.

My own be say, let not the fulani people dominate Nigeria, this is 2021 and not groundnut pyramid era!

INCREASE THE 36 TO 42 CONSTITUTIONAL STATES. SEVEN IN EACH ZONE

LET THEM HAVE FULL AUTONOMY OF POLICING THEMSELVES, EMPLOYING STATE IGP TO BE RESPONSIBLE DIRECTLY TO STATE GOVERNMENTS FOR EMPLOYMENT AND FIRING AND INDIRECTLY TO FEDERAL IGP FOR SHARING FEDERAL VIEWS.

LET THEM HAVE FULL AUTONOMY OF EXPLORING, EXPLOITING THEIR LAND AREAS FOR RESOURCES FINDING AND FUNDING FOR THEMSELVES

LET THEM HAVE FULL AUTONOMY OF APPOINTING, SELECTING AND ELECTING THEMSELVES FOR REPRESENTATIONS AND DEPUTATIONS TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT, STATE LEGISLATURES, GOVERNORSHIP, NASS AND PRESIDENCY

LET THE 36 OR 42 ALWAYS SIT TOGETHER TO LIMIT FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES TO FOREIGN AFFAIRS, MILITARY, ON EQUALITY OF STATES BASIS, TREATIES SEALING ONLY.

LET THEM DECIDE TO CONTRIBUTE UNIFORMLY TO RUNNING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

The north will still oppose it.
Re: North should not be afraid of Nigeria breakup since they have the land mass. by DEGABA(m): 10:06pm On Jun 17, 2021
They biggest beneficiary with be the Yorubas. The have access to the sea, they have the land mass and they are more United.
The Niger Delta will face some difficulties due to multiple tribe the have.
The Igbos will have the biggest problems due to land mass issue and no access to the sea.
The Hausas will be favoured since the have bigger land mass and they have other mineral deposits.
I feel for the Igbos and the Niger Deltans if it ever happens, unless both can unite and form a country which is unlikely.
