Was this General Olusegun Obasanjo's masterstroke idea of finding a final if not a decisive solution to d long drawn war of attriction in South Sudan. The formal deal on d table was d opposition just like d olx eastern region in Nigeria would be in control of 3 states in present day South Sudan.

The opposition was happy with this arrangement, not until d Goverment of kiir Slavia annouced the creation of an additional 16 states from d disputed region therby reducing d powerful hold of x opposition to 1/ 16th of her present srenght and popularity.

Just like Eastern region in Nigeria, once it was broken into 3 more states removing Rivers & Cross River which includes present day akwa ibom state d agitation lost her momentum as d people of d new state do not want to associate theselves with d agitation any more they were more interested in ruling their own little fiefdom to d detriment of d Biafra cause.

Now South-Sudan has chosen this same route in ending their on-going crisis. I am just inquistive to what led to this familiar terraine are they borrowing a leave from Nigeria 's historical precedence or were thay cajoled into this masterstroke by veteran Nigerian polticians people like OBJ who convinced them that it was d right step in d right direction.

What are your thoughts Nairalanders?
