Nigeria is suffering greater carnage at the hands of Islamist group
Boko Haram than it did during a secessionist civil war, yet this has
ironically made the country’s break-up less likely, Nigerian Nobel
Literature Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has said.
Speaking at his home surrounded by rainforest in Abeokuta, Soyinka
said the horrors inflicted by the militants had shown Nigerians across
the mostly Muslim north and Christian south that sticking together
might be the only way to avoid even greater sectarian slaughter.
The bloodshed was now worse than during the 1967-70 Biafra war,
when a secessionist attempt by the Igbo almost tore Nigeria up into
ethnic regions, he added.
“We have never been confronted with butchery on this scale, even
during the civil war,” Soyinka said in his front room, surrounding by
traditional wooden sculptures of Yoruba deities on Tuesday.
“There were atrocities (during Biafra) but we never had such a near
predictable level of carnage and this is what is horrifying,” said the
writer, who was imprisoned for two years in solitary confinement by
the military regime during the war on charges of aiding the Biafrans.
Soyinka, a playwright and one of Africa’s leading intellectuals who
still wears his distinctive white Afro hairstyle, turns 80 in two weeks.
He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1986, the first
African writer to receive it.
The conflict’s growing intensity has led commentators to predict it
may split the country.
“I think ironically it’s less likely now,” Soyinka said. “For the first
time, a sense of belonging is predominating. It’s either we stick
together now or we break up, and we know it would be not in a
pleasant way,” he said.

Hm! Really, Soyinka With all the daily threats to do so? But the counsel of God for Nigeria will stand.

The old always see things differently

If this killings continues with reckless abandon, Quoting the Phrase ''To ur tents oh Israel(Nigerians)'' Let every man look after it's own region will be inevitable...

I Still think Nigeria was a mistake the British made and we are suffering from it...

with due respect to anyone’s view or opinion per say, I think anybody saying that the emergence of boko haram could in any way make Nigerian to believe in one Nigeria is been deceived. The issue of boko haram has indeed shown that the 1914 amalgamation is a huge error that has brought Nigeria to her knees. For any reason, you don’t keep cat and dog together and expect peace to reign, no matter how we can pretend, there exist a BIG and NATURAL hatred among all the major ethic nationalities we have in Nigeria and that in has in turn bring susption
