Since independence , many groups have agitated for a break.. oduduwa republic, arewa republic and biafra just to mention a few..... according to yakubu gowon "to keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done"... but the question here now is why?....

please drop you comments and educated me and others.. thanks


below are the proposed flags for oduduwa biafra and arewa...


cc lalasticlala

following

First and for most if Nigeria is to divide, how many entities are we gonna divide into? We have 256 ethnic groups, what stops us from dividing into 256 different countries, what's the assurance we would divide into just 3?
Lets take Biafra first, why should the 5 eastern states agree to divide together to form one Baifra, why not do divide into 5 different countries
Arewa republic is not achievable, there are over 150 ethnic groups in the north, for one, the huasas and fulanjs would never form a country together if giving a choice, we still have the Nupe, Gwari, Gwagi and other ethnic groups....
Oduduwa repulblic is already having issues where the Ijebus are fighting for their states, the Offas want out of Kwar...
Secondly Division is not as simple has it sounds especially in less developed regions like Africa, we would fight for many unending years with a death toll rising in millions and that might not even ensure that the divisions would be achieved. Look at sudan, they fought for years, even after the south successfully gained independence they turned the guns on each other and started fighting themselves in the south.
Economics...If Nigeria is to Divide into N, SW, SS, SE, ...The only region to benefit would be the SW and the Se due to the availability of a readily extractable mineral resources in the SS and sea ports, The SW would enjoy with it's population and seaports....The N and SE would be totally landlocked surrounded by other countries and this is not a good recipie for economic development.

Nigeria is better has one , which ever faction feels marginalize should table it's grieviences to it's senators, Hor and GOVS....Each state in the republic receives it's monthly allocation, Because of Federal system, your state Govement is in charge of your development..Its time we start singing the right song of holding our leaders accountable and stop the song of separation.
Thank You

Because ethnicity can never let us make progress if we continue to stay together.
For example,if an Igbo man were to loot Fed govt money,I'll even clap for him cos d north and their mistress(I no mention anybody name ooo) have been looting Nigeria dry for long excluding d south south and south east.

Economically, politically, and for the sake of reputation, Nigeria is better off as one big country. With the right structures, Nigeria can become an economic and military superpower. Succession is not the answer, because even biafra will find it extremely difficult if it happens. What Nigeria needs right now is political restructuring. The system of administration must change. We must go back to regional governments with a weaker centre. Let the regions control their own resources and pay tax to the central government. Competition among the regions ll force development, not this current system were some are exploited to feed some. Sadly, the abokis up north will never agree to this, because other regions ll leave them behind in every aspect. They will suffer without this unholy union, hence they are the champions of 'one Nigeria' . Without "one Nigeria" Northern Nigeria will be a poverty and stricken wasteland..

To ur tenth oo isreal.

'Tell me' in not more 250words why you think if we secede there won't be internal strife(you knw Anambras rising against imolites,Enugu n Abakiliki wars)

Tell me how you are going to start life afresh.How do you intent to circumvent Economic/financial constraints which will be imminent at that time.

If you can convince me that derrix enough reserve(i.e Mo-ney)to take us through the tough years of our secession.I'll join to fight the war but if not,pls rest your hackles.

Our fathers laid a bad foundation.So wat nw?


I can't die for this cause pls.

Before the creation of Nigeria, didn't we survive as separate nations



Wasn't our separate nations famous and respected by the Europeans.


Oyo empire Benin empire etc were few of those empires that were respected

Now civilization has set in with break through in technology.Uncle,what do you intend falling back on/to?

Like if u are given a hoe to farm like your forefathers did u'll accept it n do some digging.

People lyk u ll be waiting for white collar Job.

Wait till we secede and Niger Delta decides to secede with their oil frm Biafra.

This Biafra,as good as it sound,i don't see it anywhere near working.There's no unity amongst us.Same thing dat made ojukwu fail 'disunity'.

Let's jez unite,fight d boko haram,see how we can tackle ds Economic recession and stop ds.


And abt being famous. Biafra wasn't dat recognized.Many African countries didn't recognize her talk more of countries in d western world.

I Tot u studied govt/history in ur sec sch days.Make use f it naaa..

Oh,You think this is hardship here in Nig.?

I'll leave the 'secession' to give you a proper definition of hardship.(Esp economically).Ask those who witnessed the civil war.

I just want them to divide and understand what division means. No need preaching. I will just find another country and naturalise with. I pity SE the most cos they dont understand the soup they are cooking.

I will keep praying for one Nigeria till I kpai.

I rather that Nigeria remains one and if possible absorb its neighbors to the south and east
However, I am more than happy if the core North breaks away.
The do not play with the same rules as we do, and are too susceptible to religious upheavals (The first time i ever saw the dead for the sake of religion was in the North)

Despite my desire that Nigeria largely remains one
I'm of the view that we remain in the union only if we all play by the same rules with little or no ethnic emotional leaning like I witness regularly (especially in political affiliations and patronage)

In the absence of such fairness, then I elect that we opt for division into discussed and agreed constituents
In case of such non-acrimonious division, and Considering my social and geographical positioning,
I'm modestly but pretty sure that my financial strength will at least triple if this happens -despite the declining price of crude

...I'll miss lagos sha,.. but once in a while, just like I do London,
1'll visit Lagos on a tourist visa and spend some of my awoof oyel cash partying

but i guess this is all a pipe dream -the other parts of Nigeria will love us and keep us for a long time while expounding lofty philosophical submissions until there are no more mine-able slush funds to oil our union.
Then when ours is down (and it shall surely finish) and theirs up,
we'll love them back and never let go and then we'll start with our own abracadabra philosophy just they way we are reminded of groundnut and cocoa pyramids that towered to the heavens like the tower of Babel

uhmmmmmm gold-digging 101

There is no unity in your family and not Biafra



Israel is smaller than Igboland yet she is an independent nation


Israel is 20000sqkm

Igboland in SE SS and NC is 40000sqkm


Israel is a 1st world nation


What stops Biafra from being a 1st world nation.? Historic illiterates like you who know next to nothing and brag about it.

I believe that we should remain one because our problems can be fixed.
In the event that things don't work out how would we even divide?
If we do divide we hope it won't be violent, but I think that it will be because some regions are yet to realize their potential (and they all have potential).
Our geopolitical zones are not even properly or fairly defined. On your map there of Arewa I can see some 'Northern' states are missing. Half of Adamawa, the whole of Taraba and I think even Nasarawa and Benue states. Where would you put them?
Right now the South East and maybe the SS are clamoring for secession, and everyone sees the North as one, but I don't think the North is as united as people think it is. It's not ideal to divide into 250+ countries but there is no guarantee that we will divide into 3.
I do believe that it is possible for every geopolitical zone to survive on their own even though it might be harder for some so that is not an issue for me. However, I feel that we should come to the table and discuss first, before we go that way. An actual conference where we set rules for each zone/state and agree on a date where we will stop this Abuja collection system.

i can't stay in the country where Akwa Ibom man is called a minority despite contributing significantly to growth of Nigeria.
Listen, if the old eastern region of Nigeria should become an independent nation, they will develop faster more than most developed countries in Europe. Apart from oil, there are so many resources untapped in that region

I don't need to bandy words with you since you couldn't present a reasonable argument instead u av chosen to bring family into this.
I respect wat family stands for so m not going to bring yours into this.

This shows how very educated you are.

As for the 'disunity' and the 'great 8iafra' we'll jez wait and see the aftermath of the secession.

You want to compare Israel to Biafra.I jez hope wen war comes calling u'd gladly be a volunteer.

Civil war?


I think the war with Boko Haram Military War shey?



Stop using things not acquitted for as an excuse... we're not saying war but peace, if they fail to See peacefully to our agitation, believe me... either now but never forever, this war that we could avoid now is inevitable... the future generation will take it to much more aggressive level than we... don't observe the revolutionary movement @all?... the only solution is to give everybody what they want, I believe if a vote should decide the real fate of Biafra, that you'll will peacefully vote Biafra if you're one, so you See... It's just matter of years-imagine for a century, all Great nation like Nigeria' and their government can show of is keeping Nigeria one at all cost, even if the parties involved ain't willing...



Nigeria has gone too far in this part and so can't get back to the right track... the only solution is disintegration thou I'm not suggestiing war or genocide, but I can't rule it out as well, cus what matters is freedom at the end, which ever way that it came and let every indigenous nations within the nation should be self determinants...

There're things you don't just get... Nigeria is to daft to be country, just tell me, as a country what's it major breakthrough in the technology that you're referring to?


Lemme just be Frank,


A Typical b northern Muslim don't give a poo about any western technology, they prefer to remain In the dark as far as Islam is there, they're the only people setting this nation backwards, and the worst part is that you and I can't get ride of them politically in political powers, they are more advanced in that than any other part of the country (though in a corrupt manner ),try and challenge there born to rule dynasty and history will repeat itself, If they rule, we all follow, but if we eventually get to rule, things will change... what kind of country progress with that set of people huh?


Do you think U.S will be as simple and complex as they're if this set of people are among them? Hell no... they won't succumb to this insult as we've done for years, It's time we tell ourselves the truth and Stop pretending that we could be part of something that we'll never be part of, Nigeria do not officially recognise us...
