Who wan support splitting sef, the housa needs the ibo man to trade with, the yoruba needs the food from the north.

Leave the ibo man alone with their brothers and they will tear each other to shreds, watch the serial drama in Anambra state, infact, we will be seperating wars in the east within two yrs.

Which ibo man go gree make im brother 'chop' his money? He go gree die with am.

And th yoruba man? That one lazy, only to throw owambe party them sabi. The housas will not see who go sell them goods and who go chop them Nama.

I am not critisizing any tribe please, I am only showing that we need each other to survive.

Most married ppl will readily ask for divorce, untill they see the pain their loneliness will cause them, plus the damage they will create be leaving open homes. Only then will they rethink and go back to their first love.

May we never divorce.

It is posible to split Nigeria. It is even very simple than people think. And no fight go dey there. but here is my question the children from mix marriages, half Igbo, half hausa, half Yoruba, half Tiv,

The children from mixed marriages? we will carve out another country for them somewhere in the desert.

the country should not be split. . . . . . . it should be closed down.

This is silly, those kids of mixed marriages still have where they call their native home. An igbo man with a yoruba wife has an igbo kids same goes with a yoruba man wite an igbo wife. You authomatically take the home nation of you father cos you don't ansa your mothers name.

Like motor park then were will you keep all the agberos may be drive to Ghana or Togo.

Invisible , what is wrong in Nigeria is you have a constitution written by military men. We need a constitution written by Nigerian,  where Nigeria can speak their mind. The senate and the national assembly can rewrite the constitution. This is what they are there for. They are allow to amend the constitution to reflect true Nigeria.  The USA senate and Assembly have amend and rewritten the USA constitution in the past.
It is in the hand of David Mark and Bankole and others to Make or Break Nigeria. They have the power to rewrite the constitution, anyone telling them they can't is a lier. that is why they are called Lawmakers.

They just have to amend the constitution to make every Nigeria feel comfortable,  Why on earth can't an Igbo  become president?? constitution ?? why is the problem in the Niger Delta ?? Constitution??, Why is the problem in the middle belt of Nigeria and their right of Indigenous people been over look in the middle belt?? constitution. Women right in  Nigeria, constitution,  When we amend the constitution we would be Ok.  Like I said before It is in the hand of David Mark and Bankole and others to Make or Break Nigeria. They have the power to rewrite the constitution, anyone telling them they can is a lier. that is why they are called Lawmakers. If they do not quickly amend it, to make life better for Nigeria,  then It is obvoius to see that Nigeria would break up. You do not need a prophet to tell you that.

Splitting Nigeria is an old thought of the old nation.

Now, welcome a new Nigeria in the horizon, a country of opportunities, of wealth, of growth, of stability and freedom. We are going there, cause we blv in it.

We are taking positions already, meet us there if you want progress.

No element of success can come to us if we continue to think we need to break up.

Enough negative talk, také action now.

If more ppl have jobs, they will not have time to think about breaking up.

@ESSS

yeah, thats the right way, we should remain one, our population should be our pride, But, lets pratice True Federalism

more reason why Nigeria should split


Fresh plot against bank consolidation
By Our Reporter - 27.01.2008

Unease has gripped the financial sector following credible hints that the Yar’Adua government is considering the reversal of banking consolidation. The consolidation exercise, which was engineered and supervised by the Dr. Charles Soludo-led Central Bank of Nigeria, was successfully concluded on December 31, 2005.


But in a move that is geared towards reversing the gains of this exercise, highly placed sources close to a presidential working group, disclosed to Sunday Tribune that the group has almost concluded work on a proposal to be presented to President Umaru Yar’Adua on “Banking Reforms”. This working group is charged with working on the details of the seven-point agenda of the Yar’Adua administration.


The chief economic adviser to the president, Tanimu Yakubu Kurfi, Sunday Tribune learnt, is coordinating the process. Although, our source revealed that Kurfi was sick recently and had to be flown abroad but could not confirm if he was back in the country.


The case against consolidation, our sources revealed, is based on the view that “Northerners” lost out in the consolidation process, which was believed to have “placed the banking sector more in the hands of the Southerners”. This ethno-regional view of things, sources stated, is largely responsible for the move, even though it is being clothed in the “language of economics, fiscal policy and even development”. The working group is said to have considered the statistics indicating that consolidation shrank northern ownership of the banking sector to only eight per cent. Members of the inner circle of the Yar’Adua government who consider this “totally unacceptable” have resolved that the best way to reverse this without risking a backlash from the south with the resultant political crisis is to effect regionalisation of the banking sector which would enhance greater northern ownership.


Although a few voices in the group were said to have warned that the reversal may create un imaginable crisis in the economy and destroy growing confidence in the Nigerian economy, particularly the Stock market, the hawks in the group were said to have dismissed the predicted crisis on the basis of the fact that access by Northerners to the commanding heights of the economy through the banks, including bank directorship and its associated pecks, have been lost through consolidation and would have to be regained “anyhow”.


The deconsolidation that is being proposed as a policy response to the perceived “southern domination” of the banking sector include effectively limiting banks to strict zones of operation, that is regions. Despite the boom in the number of branches which has resulted from consolidation, deconsolidation will be advertised as the best method for achieving the aim of multiplying the number of banks in the country, and filling the landscape with supposedly smaller but nimbler banks.


The working group will also recommend that should the government consider regionalisation unattractive, it might be desirable for the public sector to acquire distressed banks such as Societe General Bank and Savanna Bank which would then be recapitalised and unleashed to compete in an altered financial landscape. Such acquired banks can then be used as instruments of reversing the “loss” of the “northern” region in the last consolidation, reasoned the members of the group.


Sunday Tribune gathered from informed actors in the financial market that this plan to insert government as an owner and operator of banks reflects the statist inclinations of the leading lights of the Yar’Adua administration. It is argued by the core of this group that a government whose hands have been removed from the commanding heights of the economy would have less “largess in the area of economic activities that it can distribute to its own supporters”.


Sunday Tribune learnt that bank chiefs, who already have hints of this proposal, are worried by the severe disruption that deconsolidation and regionalisation would cause and the ethno-regional undertones that are believed to be behind this. It is feared that it would endanger the health of the banking sector as the banking regulators would be overstretched. A financial expert added that there is nothing in the new plan that can guarantee the safety of so many small banks.

That is nonsense, there is not need to reform the banking section again. even before the former reform. The north had just one major bank. The bank of the north. It was already closed to a useless bank, because they borrow money from it and nver return money bank.

Nigeria can not be so like this united. Right now Nigeria is not united and it will never be. Nigeria is united on books and theories . Ask the good Northerners if they like other tribes or feel united with nigerians.

The problem is that some people from the northern Niger Benue region of Nigeria,  are still living in a fools world. they assume that the people of the Southern Niger Benue region of Nigeria would do nothing since in the past they have continue the abuse of the past. I believe a shocker would be waiting for them.
It is better to create a Nation for all, and not for some. We all can still remember Major Orkar a Tiv Man. how he shock them. 95% of the men from the Southern Niger Benue Region of Nigeria are Major Orkar look alike. So it is better to be one, section.

merge this topic with the other new one.

@Presido1

Which igbo wan go? Maybe u should look at the outcome of Biafra and tell me which one wants to go.

So, speak for yourself and maybe for your family if you already know what they want.

I believe anyone worry in the north about the banking sector, all they need to do is buy stock . If northerner buy stock they can control any bank they want. What I see is that some people in abuja need to catch up with time.

With a population of 150 million, it is good for business. the smaller a nation, the less the investment potential . What we should build is a society where everybody belong. Our problem is leadership,

I have a question can you look at a little 6 month old child and put a gun to his head and shoot him.
If you answer is NO. then may be Nigeria should not divided.
Can you take a sword and look directly into a pregant woman and put the sword inside her and through her baby inside her. If you say you can't , then No nigeria should not divided.

Look our problem is leadership. When you have evil men rule you. you have problem. If you have good people rule you, you have no problem.
When i live in the north, there was a fulani child which they brought to the hospital. The child had no blood, the parent too had none,  we had to find a donor for this child. a southerner . But Northerner from the North Niger Benue of Nigeria have ruled for about 40 years since independent but they have not made impact on their people life or other Nigerian lifes from the Southern Niger Benue. So what does it tell you.

Look the 15 state of the North Niger Benue of Nigeria where all Nigeria Leaders comes from , from Balewa,Gowon,Muritala,Shagari,Buhari, IBB, Abacha, Adbusalami,and Yar Adua is not different from suffering of those of us below the River Niger and River Benue in the 21 state of Southern Niger Benue. It should tell you, the problem is bad  leadership.  That is what we need to change. Good ministers and governor.

I forget good president too.

as nigeria, we struggle to qualify from our group in the nations Cup.
You want us to break up abi, so that those of us from the Mid-west will lose the services of those talented igbo players abi?

Wastepipes!

the sooner the better. can anyone tells me where the igbo comes from. lets carve them out of nigeria.

Nigeria has never been one, all tru my secondary school days and University in Nigera, my Igbo friends dislike my hausa friends deep inside their hearts but they just act as if everything is fine and vice versa. I am a westerner (yoruba) so I am kinda neutral, I dont know y but they don't just mix, they are like Oil and water
Now in this part of the world that I am, my Igbo friends are quick to blame the hausas for the woes that has befallen Nigeria and are quick to blame the yorubas for joining forces with Nigeria in the Biafran war, my conclusion, we are only struggling to remain one Nigeria,
why is it that anytime there is small wahala in the north, they start slaughtering the southerners like rams, ? the recent killing of youth corp members in jos around December last year is still fresh in my memory,

Before I said nigeria should not split up, nearly one year, but after seen the satellite pictures as google has made them more visible and seen the NASA pictures too. I have to be honest with you. I have to take back my word. Since the north is a minority, the north would never agree to be minority. It may lead to a civil war. And what i am scare of is a civil war. At this point i have to take back my word. For the best of tomorrow . I think we can form a Nigeria benin commission. And wisely still be in two countries in one commision. This way, we are still like one country but two. everything and nothing have change. Just to please the international community. It is the only way democracy can work in nigeria. Remove the yorubas, edo, delta and bayelsa and have a commission. It is heard to take back my word.

[b]I think it is time high time we move forward from the decision either to split or not and those who want us to remain as one should present practical steps how to do it and those who want us to split should present practical step how to go about it peacefully.

I for one will either go for true federalism or outright splitting and with events happening now and from the past i am more inclined to outright splitting.

So here is my practical steps

1) This issue should be resolved through the Sovereign national conference

2) The whole states and LGA should be dissolved

3) Either for true federalism or outright splitting, The final structure i mean (people and geography) we wish to be should be those who are going to take part in the conference after due consultation and agreement.

This third option is of great importance. if the ijaw wants to be a separate entity or they want to join the Yoruba's and form one region then they should go into the conference with their demands like that. (taking into consideration that they will be totally responsible for their self and no dolling from the center) If the edos or Benin kingdom wants to be alone or biafra wants to be alone they should appear in the conference as the final structure they wish to be after the conference.

if the ijebus wants to be alone let them be, is it idoma let them be but they should all know that there is no more dolling from the center or other regions.

4) each region is going to present his demands, we debate and resolve all issues. i mean everything in totality including federalism, splitting, Constitution, resource control, military, investments in other parts of the country etc.

5) Time to decide or hold a referendum if we accept what was concluded in the Constitution

6) Implementing this result and everyone is ever happy and if there is problem in the future please remain silent for the rest of their life where you belong.

So that's my contribution and you are free to analyze it but no insult and hoping to hear from others thank you.

Apologies if any part of the post above is offensive.

YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS NIGERIA SHOULD SPLIT UP.

Other countries are united in one Vision, one Purpose and Goal; Nigeria is united in Oil and Deceit.
1. A fool at 40 is a fool forever, We are well above 40.
2. We cannot move forward because many Nigerians are infected with tribalism and this will take over 500yrs to wipe out.
3. It is also hopeless for slaves who call themselves politicians to rule Kings and make any significant progress.
4. Right now, we have slaves at the helm of affairs accross the country.
5. There are some very few people (not slaves) who are in government and are really making the difference.

Put a poll up and the results will alarm you.

well dear poster, this thing you said here was way back in 2008, then Nigeria was not as divided as it is now in 2024. Right now, Nigeria is not only divided, but deeply divided. What remains now is total separation. The union is not working, can never work and WILL NEVER WORK! I'm reporting from the year 2024, 16 years after you made this post. Thanks
