^^^^BEST QUOTE OF 2021.
..WELL SAID!!!

RiceProducers:
If you expect Nigeria to break up, do two things. Go for a quick IQ test, you may be a dummy and don't know it. Visit a psycho therapist, you might be thinking your anger or despair counts for anything. It does not.

uptownmusic:
He is right on this statement "He said the cost of staying together as a nation is cheaper than the cost of dividing Nigeria"

Dividing a nation into multiple parts is a painstaking task, and it's not a guarantee of end of the conflicts.

9jah:


He is only protecting his stolen assets -Remember operation feed the nation ? He used that program to steal so many lands in Nigeria,even his Otta farm -Remember his power projects, etc -This fools are protecting there loots,nothing else-One Liegeria is a scam.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday did not mince words about the unity and indissolubility of Nigeria when he said the country that sprawl over 923,768 km² with over 200 million people will continue to exist no matter what happens.

He spoke during the Book Launch and 85th Birthday of Eminence Prelate Sunday Mbang of the Methodist Church Nigeria which was held at the Admiralty Centre, Naval Dockyard, Victoria Island, Lagos State.

Obasanjo, who was the Convener of the programme in honour of Mbang, described the former President of the Christian Association of Nigeria as a lover of Nigeria.

The book, a memoir, chronicling the journey of the octogenarian, was titled, ‘My Life and Times’.

Obasanjo, 84, said the “many enemies” who don’t want to see the country’s continued co-existence would fail.

He said the cost of staying together as a nation is cheaper than the cost of dividing Nigeria.

The former head of state made the statement at a time when secessionist agitations, fueled by perceived injustice and worsening security situation, have increased across the country especially in Southern Nigeria.

The regime of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has been battling with secessionist groups including the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra led by detained Nnamdi Kanu; as well as the Yoruba Nation secessionist group spearheaded by Prof Banji Akintoye and embattled Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho.

Amid the whole struggle to hold together the soul of Nigeria just 60 years after independence and many interruptions of military takeovers, Obasanjo said he would continue to work for the peace and progress of a united Nigeria.

Speaking directly to the celebrant, the ex-President assured the respected Christian leader that the enemies of Nigeria won’t win.

Obasanjo said, “We are here to honour somebody we should honour, and learn from him (Mbang), to show that we genuinely love and appreciate him for the service he has rendered to the Christian community in this country and world over. And to assure him that whatever happens, we will continue to work for unity, peace, security and progress of this country.

“I know that these are things that are dear to his heart. We want to assure you that Nigeria will continue to exist because the cost for Nigeria not to continue to exist is much more than the cost for us to make Nigeria to continue to exist.

“There are many people –high and low – who can be described as enemies of Nigeria but they will not win over those who are friends of Nigeria.”

Also at the event include the Akwa Ibom State Governor and Chairman of the occasion, Udom Emmanuel, as well as many dignitaries from all walks of life.

Can you talk about the issues I raised, let's speak objectively...it's not as simple as we think though, disagreement over who gets what etc...

9jah:


Objectives you say -Do you agree with me, that there is smaller nations today ,with a smaller population index,small annual gdp ,that exist today in the world ? compared to the tribes asking for separation-Nigeria have expired -The 100 years agreement have expired -What is wrong with you people -Suffering and smiling. Let us be civilized and call for a referendum -You and. your Obasanjo does not speak for the rest of us.

Igbos go cry tire till the end of the year.
Bunch of murderers and troublemakers.

effort1:
Let us have a referendum.

Obasanjo can't speak for everyone.

Enice:
trying to save their lives by beheading people, burning houses and cars of those they call SABO, killing of those who disagree with you. I don't understand how you guys reason. OBJ has spoken the truth. Nigeria will never divide. if you don't like the country, get out.

emilo2bad:

May be in your dream. Nigeria will never be disintegrate. OBJ know it

FakeUnity:
I'm not sure about others, but I know that if Biafra doesn't happen while you are alive, it will DEFINITELY happen over your dead body.

Onye kwe, chi ya ekwe.

When a people agree strongly, their 'Chi' will also reluctantly agree.


That na surebanker.

The quest for freedom remains an eternal goal.

Monogamy:


Biafra as a country is dead and buried long time.

Jerryherd:
2023 is a major detiminant factor

AntiBMC:


Eyahh! Wailer. Go and eat c0w poop – you people's favorite. Leave critical thinking for human beings.

emilo2bad:

You idiot always run away from the truth get it NIGERIA cannot be disintegrated. till the end of the world.

uptownmusic:

Am being realistic, we are a very peculiar people, we have so many tribes, at least the country will be divided into 5 places, Niger Deltans, Yorubas, middle belt, Igbos, hausas... even within these units I see a lot of tribal wars and disagreements...with no strong central army, there will be no force to keep the peace, just tribal militias, vigilantes and war lords...might will be right, we will be going back to the jungle. The main problem with Nigeria is insecurity, the suffering issue is relative.

Ayo8:
You don't expect someone like Obasanjo to support succession... dude almost got his ass killed trying to keep this country together.
I hear he sustained a gunshot wound to his butt during the civil war.

AntiBMC:
Are the enemies of Nigeria, the people who are destroying the country with terror or the people, who are trying to save their lives and that of their generations unborn by seeking for a country of their own where they can feel safe?

He should elaborate on his statement whilst thinking about the harm and destruction his generation has done to this country, that is now plaguing us all.

Fortunately for us, he doesn't have the power to keep this clowntry together. At the rate ds Fulani govt is going, the disintegration will happen faster than we even imagined.

Tinubuadvocate:
Obasanjo appointment is a big blow for secessionists Obasanjo will use his new position to crush any secessionist in Africa.
May God bless Bola Ahmed Tinubu and spare president Buhari.

Shey you are hoping on Jesus Christ to resurrect someday.

So shall Biafra resurrect when the time comes.
