Anything to stay away from Boko haram should be highly welcomed. In fact,Islam is like a cancer spreading to every part of its neighbors with violence. |

Know your history, are you trying to say that you don't know that Obasanjo during his time as president made zamfara a sharia state for their support for his government, he said it recently that he gave them their sharia state, this is a secular country for awo's sake,the mistake we make is that most of us don't understand the dynamics of what's happening, when you allow sharia then caliphate must be created to allow it thrive and the laws are changed to pure islamic laws,so what's the root cause of this problem if I may ask? It's Obasanjo that started it,kmow your history. Smooyis: How? 6 Likes |

Boko Haram makes break-up less likely?? I think there was an error either from Reuters or a tongue-slip from The Prof . Cos no permutation or analysis add up the premise of the supposed argument for "less likely" unless he comes out with a better evidence . Try asking a Nigerian on the street and I tell you, more are in favour of a break-up of some sort. Old age is probably telling on the Nobel laureate already 1 Like |

all4naija: He didn't say that. He talked about the way these acts are carried out by the Boko Haram Islamists as gravely beyond the Nigerian civil war.Hediot, did you read b4 typing.... Igbos lost more than 3 million yet this man said 3,000 ppl killed by Bh is more |
| Re: Boko-Haram Carnage Making Nigeria Break-up Less Likely - Soyinka by extension: 4:14pm On Jul 03, 2014 |
so 3,000,000 souls killed during the civil war is equal to 3,000 to 4,500 so far lost in boko haram killings. what a brain and calculation. |

caseless: he said 'less likely' and not 'more likely'. I advice u read again. You got what he's saying wrong. He made a mistake by putting "reserve" instead if "reverse". Correct this and read his post again, I'm sure it will make more sense. |

Truckpusher: They know their boundaries my brother. No my brother, they don't know their boundaries. I hope events don't prove me right though. I have said in several.post that we mostly call for separation without looking realistically at "how" this will be done, and more importantly "what" happens after. Will we become little Ukrains or Sudan or Eritrea. The story of the aftermath hasn't been good for Africans especially, not just because we don't think far unto the future and are only conserned with the present emotions; but because even when one part of the separation wants to progress, the others won't simply let it. Again check Sudan out. Nigeria's aftermath may be even worse. I see us getting into the tit for tat continuous bombing of each other to settle personal scores ala Sunnis and and Shiites in the middle east. It is truly scary. 5 Likes |

This man is 110% right, if all the lives lost is not enough for all Nigerians to be calling for break up day and night, by actually walking the walk, nothing is ever going to make Nigerians rise. He also said the few talking about it are not getting national attention. The message is loaded and only few Nigerians know that this is an indictment on Nigerians who don't know what exactly they want and this is the safest way Soyinka can say it without being invited by SSS for calling for break up of the country with the fools on nairaland still calling him a trouble maker. The message from Soyinka is out and bokoharam knows what to do with it, Yoruba know what to do with it and I'm very sure Hausa-Fulani know what they would do with it. 3 Likes |

Obasanjo one of teh causes of Nigeria present deformation? True. allowing sharia law is one of the evil he has done for personal gain and because of that the so called boko haram has grown wings. Ali sherif i Maiduguri is now a friend of the president Jonathan and he( Ali Sherif) is said to be a major sponsor of boko haram who has turned over maiduguri, i hope this would end soon and that Nothern christians would team up with the fateful Norther Muslims who are truly not in agreement with the doctrines of Bokoharam who has turned Islam the other way round. The major problem with Nigerians is that no one is ready to front a confrotation againt Boko haram. I hope will will soon have an end to this if our Soldiers too would not be compromised to be able to defend our great nation NIGERIA. |

I think what Baba is saying is if Nigeria does not break now as a result of dis violent jihadist blood sucker which is very unlikely because d probability it will is still very low then, it won't break again. Indirectly, d attack will lead to a new uniting nation that respect one another irrespective of religion or ethnic difference. If it does not break now, then never and a new uniting nation emerges. |

gratiaeo: We have never had a country called Nigeria. What we have is a geographical location that extends to ‘country-in-progress’, but since a work-in-progress will either become a finished product or converted back to raw materials, it is better we stop deceiving ourselves that we have a country-NIGERIA, just NO please. you've just said it all.... Nigeria is a colonial error, her leaders are crazy comedians. Nigerian leaders really manifest fela kuti's defination of democracy... "Demonstration of Craze" |

[size=15pt]Soyinka said "I see both Christianity and Islam as foreign impositions. "We cannot ignore the negative impact which both have had on African society," he told Reuters. "They are imperialist forces: intervening,arrogant."[/size] I hope we Nigerians read THIS...because some of us are very stu$pid in spite of how many times we are told what the truth is...Religion is the fundamental problem of Nigeria.

The prof is wrong in a way.... The reason Boko Haram isn't threatening the unity of Nigeria YET is because their attacks are mainly sectional... If we understand the culture of Northern Nigeria, maybe we will understand the BOko Haram problem more..... 1) Most destitute in the north are extremely dependent on the rich folks... These folks are no longer as rich as they used to be under past northern administrations... 2) Sanusi once said the Literacy rate among North-west women in Nigeria is only 30% and the Literacy rate among South-west women is roughly 93%.... In the North-east, where Boko Haram is prevalent, maybe the Literacy rate might only be mere 10%.. 3) Boko haram ideology is thriving on mass illiteracy in the north... The fundamental ideology of Boko Haram is so stupid that you don't need a brilliant kid in the south to dispel it for you....''Dad, how can you tell me western education is sin when u always send me to go buy Paracetamol for you when you have migraine?'' ''Isn't Paracetamol a product of Chemistry, thanks to western education?'' 4) If you add mass illiteracy with an intolerant form of Islam and serenade it with political opportunist, you get Boko Haram... To win the war against Boko Haram, the short term measure is containment, the long term solution is mass education.. Nigeria's unity is therefore dependent on how fast the north of Nigeria embrace education. 4 Likes |
