‘Nigeria Will Remain One Indivisible Country After 2015’ by Unblockable: 11:39pm On Nov 08, 2013
FORMER President Olusegun Obansanjo has said that Nigeria will remain one indivisible country despite the socio-economic and security challenges being experienced in parts of the north, noting that the country will not break up either in the aftermath or processes leading to the 2015 general elections.

Obasanjo, who stated this Friday in Abuja at the Global Peace Leadership Conference 2013, stressed that Nigeria will remain one indivisible country, insisting that the ethnic groups that make up the country have no problems with one another and are prepared to continue to live in peace.

He noted that instead, a few bad eggs in the country have succeeded in subjecting the nation to crisis, which he maintained were surmountable.

He, however, urged Nigerians to resist such group of people in order to uphold peace. He called on the media to channel its energy on positive developments in and around the country instead of consistently harping on the challenges currently being faced by the country.

“Nigeria will not break up. Nigeria is like a country in a marriage. There will be no divorce in Nigeria. The problem in Nigeria is caused by those who want to make politics out of our existence. Nigerians have no problems ordinarily. They intermarry without difficulty. All we need to do is to focus on the things that bind us together rather than always focusing on challenges, which are surmountable. Let those who report paint the picture of the truth about Nigeria,” he said.

Also at the occasion, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan who was represented by the Chaplain of the Villa, Obinna Onwururumba added that Nigeria will not break but will ride on the current storm to greater height.

The President emphasised that Nigeria had recently come under attack by people who used the youth as foot soldiers to foment trouble in the belief that they were fighting for God.

“Our dear country Nigeria recently came under attack of vicious virus of sectarian virus. Your focus on youth is therefore noteworthy considering that the foot soldiers of this destructive extremism are usually recruited from among the youth who are often unfortunately deceived into believing that they are fighting for God. This is why all of us including those who in one way or the other are in leadership positions of our various religions should rally against the distortion and misrepresentation of the sacred teachings of our great religious faith,” he advised. Chairman and Founder of Global Peace Foundation from the Korea Republic, Dr. Hyun Jin Moon, said Nigeria was viewed as one of Africa’s rising hope for the future and called on all stakeholders to embrace peace in the interest of the nation.

He noted that Nigeria as a nation noted for its spirituality should seek solace in God rather than in politics to resolve current problems, which he said border on morality and wealth distribution.

He should shut up! Is it indivisible we want to hear, or peaceful and prosperous?

All they're interested in is protecting their nest eggs and the goose that lays their golden egg! Wasted lives, poverty, insecurity, hunger and misery all mean nothing to them!

So if you asked Obasanjo who is old enough to be your grandfather to shut up, what do you have to say to what your so-called "Ibo president" said through the person who represented him?

Go back to your initial statement and read the first sentence. "He should shut up! Is it indivisible we want to hear, or peaceful and prosperous?" It was only Obasanjo who made reference to the word "invisible" that you had problem with. It was only Obasanjo who discussed "indivisible country".

Bia OBJ,

we have serious problems with Nigeria.
Okay, you really think I am happy?

Happy to belong to a country where a child who scored 69% is denied admission while another that scored 1% is offered admission?
No sir, we are working hard to free ourselves from the slavery called Nigeria.

I wish you well.

It's clear from the part in bold that you were up to no good with your flippant 'so-called Ibo president' remark!.......also your intial post equally points to someone else talking of Nigeria being indivisible/unbreakable!
