The incumbent government of President Muhammadu Buhari is very young. The leader of the nation is battling vigorously with such monsters as corruption, insurgency and many others.

However, things that bordered on human arrogance, corruption, total disrespect for rule of law, insurgency and many other evils can tear Nigeria apart.

There are also several powerful people who could spoil all Buhari’s efforts by their controversial activities in different parts of Nigeria.

The Federal Republic of Nigeria, as it is known today, has never really been one homogeneous country, for its widely differing peoples and tribes.

At independence Nigeria became a federation and remains the one country. Soon afterwards the battle to consolidate the legacy of political and military dominance of a section of Nigeria over the rest of the federation began with bigger passion. More than 45 years ago Nigeria was nearly divided by the bloody civil war that broke out on July 6, 1967, and led to the deaths of over a million people.

Below are the five people who are fighting for the soul of Nigeria with the central government at the expense of millions of residents who just want an opportunity to live their lives quietly.

5. President Buhari
Buhari makes the list only because he is the leader of the nation and his actions or inactions could push Nigeria over the edge or become the messiah, as many predicted, and save the country from the imminent disaster posed by the people mentioned below.

The president’s manner of tackling the controversial prisoners of Nigeria could go a long way to define if the situation would be worsened or buried and forgotten.

However, if Buhari wants to keep Nigeria united he should ensure that the rights of these men are protected while also figuring out the ways on how to stop the conflicts in the country.

For example, Nnamdi Kanu is both Nigerian and British, and the UK has already rose questions over his continual detention. Sheikh El-Zakzaky has Iran’s support because he preaches their type of religion, the Shia Islam.

4. Tompolo (Government Ekpemupolo)
Tompolo was a prominent figurehead in the Niger Delta militancy that besieged the oil-producing country in the mid-2000s.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is currently accusing Tompolo of corruption.

The arrest warrant for the former Niger Delta warlord coincided with the resumption of attacks in the region.

Armed with more money than ever to purchase even more weapons than before, Tompolo could pose a real danger to Nigeria quickly should the situation deteriorate any further in the South South.

Before the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme, his name drove fear into the hearts of many as he and his cohorts terrorized the creeks of the South South region.

3. Goodluck Jonathan
Ex-president Goodluck Jonathan has left the power as the national hero. He is currently getting many awards from the global community, recall his recognition in the USA and in Switzerland last month. Jonathan has been visiting many strategic pro-democracy institutions where he had been invited to share his experience in office as the promoter of democracy and the advocate of good governance in Africa.

However, his government left many questions unanswered. For instance, the biggest scandal that currently rocks the country is fake purchase of the armsto fight the deadly Boko Haram sect.

The further anti-graft agency digs into the scam, the more Jonathan’s men are implicated and indicted.

These fake deals reportedly caused thousands of deaths in the country in the hands of terrorists.

What Jonathan decides to do next – to stay the hero or to reclaim the power by all means – will determine his role in the unity of Nigeria.

2. Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky
Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, is another powerful man with his finger practically on the activation button.

Shiites’ leader was the one who introduced the Shia Muslim practice into Nigeria from Iran over 30 years ago. Before then, Nigeria had only Sunni Muslims.

He controls a part of the Muslim population in the north and is so powerful that his religious procession or convoy has right of way above anyone. He could not even be controlled by law enforcement agencies. Residents of Kaduna state, where El-Zakzaky used to be based, has many times lamented about the disturbances the sheikh and the members of his sect cause.

While at the moment, his location remains unknown after a bloody clash with the military in Zaria on December 12-13, which left hundreds dead his followers wait for his return patiently.

1. Nnamdi Kanu
Of all the people on this list, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group and the director of the Radio Biafra pirate radio station, Nnamdi Kanu, is, perhaps, the most influential at the moment.

Nigeria’s secret police arrested Kanu, on October 17. He lives in London but often travels to Nigeria and was reportedly apprehended in Lagos. Kanu leads the IPOB, a secessionist group supporting the revival of the Biafran state and independence from Nigeria.

Since his arrest, pro-Biafran protesters have organised marches in southeastern Nigeria, demanding Kanu’s release and calling for the independence of the Biafran territories.

Kanu is calling for the people of the South East to mobilize and fight for the creation of the state of Biafra. He argues that the Igbos are not properly catered for by the federal government.

While at the moment the protesters have been peaceful and recorded cases of deaths happened only when security forces attacked them, the agitation clearly is on the rise in the South East, as Nigerian leaders wonder what to do, and anything could deteriorate the situation.

Please who posted this childish stuff? . What kind of infantile prose is this one?

Please who posted this childish stuff? . What kind of infantile prose is this one? . Is there no moderation again?. This JS3 kind of thinking from top to bottom

Dammy13 I think u over estimate the power and influnce o these people. Nigeria big oo

Nigeria will not break up. In due time we will overcome the influence of bigoted people. After the Buhari experience Nigerians would have learnt not to bring half-baked leaders on board anymore. Would have learnt and understood that the days of charlatan leadership brought hardship to all and sundry irrespective of ethnicity. Political campaigns will be based on issues rather than on ethnic gang up. We will have men like Fashola, Soludo, Pat etc. campaigning vigorously all over the country selling their manifestos and promising concrete things they will do to move Nigeria forward.

Ur thought dou!
Remember d life of those u mentioned is in d Hand of someone Above all is name is ALMIGHTY.

Very funny post. if Tompolo thinks he is strong and influential let him come out from his hiding.

As for Kalu, I am sure he is regretting the day he sneak into the country. Do see the frustration all over his face. One time "dilector of radio biafra is begging for freedom.

0P is high on aba weed?...tompolo the coward and kanu the noise maker and zarkary the road blocker,you no well at all.....na these fowls won break Nigeria up!!!!!!

Op, the only set of people that can cause Nigeria breakage are probably Yoruba's at the moment if they decide to unplug.

INTROVERT:
Nigeria will never break up in Jesus name. Amen

No wonder niggah's say common sense ain't common....
How dare you copy all post just to post this trash
#fuckstard

This OP is too funny joor


OK Lalas please make this no hit fp o this man is booking space with wayo

Where is Shekau? and where is Tinubu?

Look at them with their emotional replies & arrogance! If the USSR, once the strongest country on earth & a super could break up, if Yogoslavia, A European country could break up, if Sudan, once the largest country in Africa could break up, then I dont understand what is sacrosant about Nigeria & why its impossible for Nigeria to break up! These are the facts, Nigeria has 3 disparate major ethnic groups & hundreds of minor ones, who are all suspicious of each other! There is percieved injustice by the SE & SS people against the state!! There is ongoing killings in central Nigeria by the Fulani herdsmen against the natives! There is an increasing feeling of frustration by a majority of the populace! Ethno-religious sentiment is still rampant! Nigeria fought a bitter civil war for 3 years against seccession & yet again there is a renewed uprising clamouring for such again! If there is any other country in todays world that is likely to break-up, that country is Nigeria!!!

He be like say this one just escaped from Aro abi na Yaba left
Abeg, swerve!

The Kanu guy is the most important of all. Even easterners who used to.be on the sidelines are now seeing reasons with him.
1.) He said the fulanis fought for oil not that loved the east. Buhari confirmed it just recently

2.) He said nigerians are barbaric and the country is a zoo. Buhari and his soldiers confirmed it and killed unarmed protesters while yorubas and hausas killed their conscience and celebrated the victory of the 'gallant' nigerian army over unarmed dead IPOB members.

3.) Kanu said nigeria is a cage, information has it that nigerians can only travel to few African countries, mid-east and asian countries visa free. They are not welcomed to anyother country. Small seychelloise citizens can travel to 120 countries visa-free including almost EU countries.

4.) Kanu claimed that they would use blackmail, intimidation every antic to get at Easterners for failing to vote them including anti-Eastern economic policy. The next day buhari moved NPA clearing office from lagos to kano. Farouk and kunle anti-Eastern tape surface online

Kanu has been right, not on one occassion has he been proven wrong

lubbish

You are not far from truth
