U.S Report Warns Nigeria To Be Beware Of Another Civil War ! by Rooneyboy(m): 9:01am On Jul 21, 2013
[b] U.S report warns Nigeria to beware of another civil
war!!!

Written by Olawale Rasheed - Abuja

A new report entitled ``Nigeria's Unity in the Balance”
authored for the United States Army War College has,
again, warned Nigerian leaders to beware of another
civil war or an outright break-up following what it called
ongoing divisive trends in the country.
The report released by the Strategic Studies Institute of
War College was written by two former American
servicemen, Gerald McLaughlin and Clarence J.
Bouchat. McLaughlin is a graduate of the U.S. Army
War College while Bouchat is also an adjunct professor
at the U.S. Army War College (USAWC)
The report, whose foreword was written by the Director,
Strategic Studies, Institute and U.S. Army War College
Press, Professor Douglas Lovelace, observed that
divisive forces were becoming more stronger than
uniting forces in Nigeria, warning that unless this was
reversed, Nigeria`s existence could be jeopardised.
According to the report, “Parochial interests created by
religious, cultural, ethnic, economic, regional, and
political secessionist tendencies are endemic in
Nigeria. Under such stresses, Nigerian unity may fail.
“Should Nigeria’s leaders mismanage the political
economy and reinforce centrifugal forces in Nigeria, the
breaks to create autonomous regions or independent
countries would likely occur along its previously
identified fault lines,” the report warned.
“Having already experienced one brutal civil war,
Nigeria is at risk for a recurrence of conflict or
dissolution, especially since some of the underpinning
motivations of the war remain unresolved,`` the report
observed, detailing many fault lines speeding up
disintegrative tendencies in the country.

“Indeed, East Timor, Eritrea, Croatia, and Somaliland
indicate that the weakest point of failing states is along
colonial borders. Of more interest for Nigerian unity is
that this may also occur between regions separately
administered by a common colonial power, as occurred
between Malaysia and Singapore, and North and South
Sudan, where differences proved irreconcilable after
the departure of British administration. At least, some
of the resulting regions and states of a possible
Nigerian devolution may divide along such internal
lines”, the report projected.

While conceding that Nigeria’s fate is primarily in the
hands of Nigerians, the report noted that such could be
positively affected by actions of the US, adding that
“Nigeria’s future is in balance and the United States
should help tip the scales.”

The report particularly warned that religious
differences were taking the centre-stage in the
emerging conflict situation in the country, disputing
repeated reports that economic reasons were to blame
for the insurgency and other conflicts in the country.

The Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) is part of the U.S.
Army War College and is the strategic-level study
agent for issues related to national security and
military strategy with emphasis on geostrategic
analysis.

That's it: GEJ Is done. The U.S will look the other way were the Military to carry out a successful coup in a "responsible manner" i.e kick out this thieving mor.on and installing an officer from his Region (Minority, South-South, Niger-Delta, Christian--- or any combination of those enumerations) which will satisfy the polity and dead any arguments of "Marginalization". P.S: to those supporting every evil GeJ commits because of their desire for vendetta based on the stories and/or lies that their parents have fed them; when the sun sets, we'll see who'll wake up in the morning.

Are you suffering from personality disorder? You can't have it both ways brother.



Tinubu is a great leader with brilliant leadership qualities, even though, he's a crook but who cares? Am fine with any necessary evil. I'd choose Tinubu over Jonathan anytime, a choice to make between the devil and the deep blue sea. cool

At least my choice is better than yours: I get to choose between a potentially viable country (Nigeria) and an quintessential successful country (Biafra); while you choose between the devil and satan. LMAO. haha.

Very true...

Even intra religious discrimination constitute a factor; The other day, I read about how a church leader warned his church members not to marry from another denomination outside theirs...

In islam, Once upon a time, two groups of muslims were throwing stones at each other fiercely, simply because they disagreed on time of prayers.

TRIBALISM:

So ubiquitous, in ministries and parastatals, law makers chambers, compounds, on the buses, in the hospitals. All nooks and crannies.

Until we get rid of religious sentiment and tribalism, civil war is imminent.

My man, no disrespect to you, but be rest assured that the southwest, particularly Lagos will not be what it is now once Nigeria ceases to be. Better checkup the fact on who makes Lagos boom. I am with you thou on wishing that Nigeria will disintegrate, I can't wait for Nigeria to breakup, although I've got concerns about all the investments my people don make for una land. By the way, it is "Hapu m aka", and not "Hapu 'nmaka".
