Nigeria as it is , requires very delicate state craft decision modeling to survive the next phase of its life and build on previous state growth experiences.

Introduction poem about Nigeria.

In the heart of West Africa lies Niger,
A land of contrasts and of vigor.
From the sands of the Sahara's dunes,
To the greenery of the river Niger's tunes.

The sun blazes hot upon the land,
But the people's spirits are never bland.
They dance and sing with joy and grace,
In a culture that's as old as time's trace.

Executive summary

Nigeria is a religiously diverse country, with Christianity and Islam being the two dominant religions. According to the Pew Research Center, as of 2010, approximately 50% of Nigeria's population was Muslim, 40% was Christian, and the remaining 10% followed traditional African religions or other beliefs.

Islam is predominant in the northern part of Nigeria, where the Hausa and Fulani ethnic groups are the majority. Christianity is more prevalent in the southern part of the country, especially among the Igbo, Yoruba, and Ijaw ethnic groups.

The main reports .


Sanity defying scenario, March 18th 2023 gubernatorial elections in Lagos with the labor candidate winning majority votes because of christian non yoruba residents voting the GRV lb candidate . This momentum might trigger an avalanche of reactions from the street urchins, thugs and other detestable humans that has benefited from their principal because of the inadequacy of policing in Lagos, property of hardworking igbos and other non lagosians will be targeted, looted and destroyed.

Scenario 2 .
If igbos proactively defend these attacks in commercial areas of Lagos, then the tension would be dealt with, however failure to defend this would snowball into a nationwide revenge attacks or revolution, the scope of which is outside the scope of this discussion.

Scenario 3
Turning Lagos into another Ukraine with igbos foot soldiers and yorubas fighting for the soul of Lagos states. This would lead to massive relocation of businesses owned by non yorubas to more business inclined locations like Abuja , port Harcourt etc to avoid loss of products, trade and capital. This would erode Lagos ofjits business and commercial services.

Scenario 4 .
The return of capital, business, investment to the eastern market with igbos diversifying and divesting from the south west. This by far would be a peaceful alternative offering igbo opportunities to rebuild the Eastern economy through the use of investment options

let it trigger it, make we fight this war once and for all, Ukraine are being destroyed now because they are fighting to protect their land and if that war ends today, trust me they will overtake Nigeria in terms of development. This stupid country can only develop if we part ways

The unfortunate thing is that war will reduce the likes of Tinubu, Oluomo and Sanwo-olu to nobody.

Let them continue to stoke ethnic conflict because their empire is threatened.

I like your introduction but your final analysis is poor.
Religion can be weaponized, many developed tend to put a close tap on preacher because they can easily sway people easily especially for countries poverty is high and people tend to depend on unseen for hope. The last election cause a serious fracture based on the political tactics of some the action of some called themselves men of God. The only thing that will change the narrative is if the incoming government prove everybody wrong by improving the economy and security.
