The Sensible Thing To Do Is To Split Nigeria Into Its Component Parts: by emyah(m): 2:56pm On Sep 03, 2009
In 1947 Mallam Abubakar Tafawa Balewa who later became the prime minister of Nigeria said to a Colonial British Officer: “We do not want Sir, our Southern neighbors to interfere in our [Northern Nigeria] development ……I should like to make it clear that if the British quitted [quit] Nigeria now at this stage, the Northern People would continue their interrupted conquest to the sea [conquest of Eastern and Western Nigeria].” This is what a member of the Sokoto Caliphate said in 1947; that whenever the British colonialists leave Nigeria fundamentalist Islamic Jihadists will continue their conquest of Christianity to the Atlantic Ocean; that is they will conquer the Christian peoples of Eastern Region of Nigeria as well as the Western Region.

Since 1966, the Jihadists from fundamentalist Islamic Northern Nigeria have been waging the jihad especially against the Christian people of Eastern Region (Biafra). The jihad has assumed diabolical dimension since 1980. Since then Islamic Jihadists from Northern and Western Nigeria have burned hundreds of Churches, murdered scored of Christian priests, slaughtered about 100,000 innocent Christians all over Northern and Western Nigeria, destroyed and looted billions of dollars of property belonging to Christians, and kidnapped and converted by force dozens of Christian children.

In October, 2005 we appealed to governments of the free world: the United States, the European Union, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel and others to take very seriously the threat of forced Islamization of Christian Biafra. We informed the international community of a two pronged plan by fundamentalist Islamic Jihadists to apply the pincer military strategy in their plan to completely overrun the continent of Africa and turn the entire continent into fundamentalist Islamic stronghold with Wahhabi ideology. We revealed that according to a communiqué issued after one of their secret meetings the attack in East Africa will begin in Somalia and run inward through Kenya while the attack in West Africa will begin in Chad and run inward through Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. They will keep moving inward and converge around Zambia and then punch right into South Africa. We have every reason to believe that Western Intelligence sources did not take this warning seriously. But now we are gradually being proved right. Now look at all those countries. Somalia has been taken; Kenya is under threat; Nigeria is a basket case; and the DRC is a banana republic. It may still not make any sense to you until you look at the situation in Nigeria, their most coveted prize. Why Nigeria you may ask? Eastern Nigeria [Biafra] with a population of some 50 million is almost 95% Christian and less than 1% Moslem. Overrunning and converting 50 million Biafran Christians by force will be the best prize any Islamic fundamentalist will give to the Wahhabi bank rollers of Saudi Arabia. Seizing the source of oil and gas in the Bight of Biafra, a major supplier of the energy needs of the West, and putting the billions of dollars investments of the West in the hands of the fundamentalist Islamic jihadists will be one of the biggest blows to the governments of Europe and America. Do you now see why Eastern Region Biafra is a coveted prize for Islamic Jihadists?

Since 1980 not one single year has passed without Islamic jihadists attacking and slaughtering Christians in Northern and Western Nigeria. It has become so repetitive and regular that you can even predict the month Christians will be attacked and slaughtered in Nigeria. Consider these facts and judge for yourself. In the middle 1980’s Nigeria was enrolled as a full fledged member of the Organization of Islamic Conference [OIC] by military fiat and against strong protests by Christians especially from Eastern Region [Biafra]. In the 2000’s Libya provided millions of dollars for the building of an Islamic university in Kano followed by the establishment of Islamic banks. In 2000 Ahmed Sani, the jihadist governor of Sokoto State of Nigeria deceived the administrators of the Voice of America [VOA] broadcasting service into sponsoring the launching of fundamentalist Islamic Sharia Law in Nigeria. The launching which was done in Washington DC, was given world wide publicity and stamp of approval by the VOA as governor Ahmed Sanni assured listeners that Sharia will apply only to Moslems in Nigeria and never to Christians or animists. Less than five short years later Sharia law was applied to Christians and Moslems alike all over Northern Nigeria and parts of Western Nigeria. Today Sharia law is the overriding law in operation in most of Northern Nigeria and is applied to Christians as well as Moslems. Common law courts and judges have virtually been consigned to the dustbin as Sharia police known as “Hisba” have taken over law enforcement from the Nigeria police and routinely quash court judgments and force the Nigeria police to obey them and enforce Sharia laws on Christians. We challenge VOA to contradict us.

Since 1980 top Islamic politicians and religious leaders in Nigeria have openly declared their intention to Islamize the Christian people of Biafra by force. Former president of Nigeria, Alhaji Shehu Shagari has advocated the forced Islamization of Biafra; former military head of State Muhammadu Buhari has advocated the forced Islamization of Biafra; the association of Moslem Clerics called Council of Ulamas has stated categorically that its goal is the total Islamization of Nigeria; the supreme Council for Islamic Affairs in Nigeria has stated unequivocally that all Christians in Nigeria will be Islamized; the former Chief Justice of the supreme Court in Nigeria, Mohammed Uwais has declared that Sharia law must be taught in all the law schools in Eastern Region. After the horrific attacks masterminded by Osama bin Laden and Al Qaida against the people and government of the United States of America on 9/11/2001, the peoples of Western and Northern Nigeria organized public celebration and demonstration of support for Osama Bin Laden and his criminal gang in Sokoto and Kano in Northern Nigeria and Osogbo and Ibadan in Western Nigeria. They were celebrating the slaughter of innocent people in New York by hate filled Islamic jihadists. Biafran Christians were irked and saddened by the madness. But when Biafran Christians organized a counter demonstration in Enugu in sympathy and solidarity with and support of the people and government of the United States of America over the tragedy of 9/11, the Nigerian federal government sent paramilitary police to beat and brutalize the peaceful demonstrators and disband them. It is public knowledge that immediately after the 9/11 attack on the United States by Islamic jihadists and for many years after Osama bin Laden became the most popular name given to new born babies in Northern Nigeria and parts of Western Nigeria. It is common knowledge that Osama Bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahiri have specifically mentioned Nigeria as their primary target and coveted prize in Africa. 

One week ago a group of Islamic jihadists started attacking police stations and non Muslims in Northern Nigeria. In a flash the attacks spread from the state of Bauchi, to Bornu, Yobe, Jigawa, Katsina, and Kano covering several hundred kilometers. The Nigeria police was overwhelmed and it took a division of the Nigeria army to overcome the jihadists. We are told that about 800 of them were killed before the jihadists drifted back into Chad to reunite with their trainers from Sudan and retool their strategy. Some naïve or mischievous so-called researchers have tended to dismiss this very serious threat. Adam Higazi a so-called researcher on Nigeria at Oxford University was quoted by the BBC as saying that “the rhetoric of Osama bin Laden may chime with some radical young Moslems in Nigeria, but that doesn’t mean there is a financial relationship.” John Peel of the School of Oriental and African Studies stated that Nigeria has not collapsed to the same degree as Somalia where Al Qaeda has significant influence and that Nigeria has a long history of Islamic uprising against “corrupt” rulers dating back to the largest in West Africa’s history, the Jihad of Usman Dan Fodio in 1804. Do not ever listen to silly ignorant researchers and historians who do not know what they are talking about. First there was no country called Nigeria in 1804; second the Usman Dan Fodio jihad was a political/colonial movement whose goal was to colonize the Hausa States of Northern Nigeria and subjugate them to rule of the Sokoto Caliphate. However Usman Dan Fodio disguised his political and colonial intention by shrouding it in religious lingo. This is very commonplace information and Prof. Peel should know that. Did these stupid professors and researchers tell you that Church of the Brethren, the largest indigenous church in Maiduguri as well as more than twenty other churches were burnt to ashes by the jihadists; several pastors were burned to death; the National Evangelical Mission and over 50 Christians who were worshipping in the church were all bombed and burned to death; Rev. Sabo Yakubu of the Church of Christ in Nigeria was not only killed, he was slaughtered like a ram in front of his family; the jihadists rounded up Christians neighbors and one by one ordered them to recite a verse in the Koran know as the “Shahada” proclaiming their conversion to Islam and those who refused had their throats slit or were shot on the spot by the jihadists. Did they tell you that the jihadists has general purpose machine guns [gpmg], AK47’s, RPG’s and other sophisticated weapons. Did they tell you that Mohammed Yusuf, their leader had one billion naira in one of his numerous bank accounts and that he travelled frequently to Middle Eastern countries? Did they tell you that Mohammed Yusuf lived like a King driving around in a fleet of very expensive cars; that his compound was 9 square miles and that inside this compound were military training ground, armory, medical center, mosque, food storage facilities and living quarters? Did they tell you that he was the one who unleashed the mayhem in Maiduguri in 2006 in which 54 churches were burned to the ground and several thousand Christians killed? Did they tell you that there are more than five army cantonments in and around Maiduguri and that throughout the uprising nobody lifted a finger until the unit from Jos arrived and confronted the jihadists?  Did they tell you that Yusuf formally informed the Nigerian government that he was going to attack Christians days before he started his operation? No, they will not tell you these things. They will only tell you that the crisis has been contained until next time when the slaughter will resume.   

Now let us ask some difficult questions about Boko Haram, the jihadist sect that declared war on Christians in Nigeria last week. The membership of this jihadist sect has been put at 1.5 million usually made up primarily of unemployed, uneducated youths called almajiri as well as some educated Moslems in Northern Nigeria. How is it that 1.5 million people are engaged in subversive preaching almost all over Northern Nigeria and nobody knew. Who was providing food, clothing, shelter and arms and ammunition for these people? How many top government officials had full knowledge of the ideology being preached by these people and the plot to attack Christians; how many knew of their plan to turn Nigeria into a jihadist Islamic society wrapped in Wahhabi theology? Don’t search for the answer. Believe this, all the governors in the North knew about these people. The group has been supported and funded by governors and ministers including federal ministers. Apart from using the oil money stolen from the Niger Delta to finance the jihadist movement, political and military leaders as well as leaders of the jihadist movements from Northern Nigeria have been receiving billions of dollars from Saudi Arabia, Libya, Sudan and other jihadist countries to finance the jihad in Nigeria. Top politicians, military officers, police, former presidents or heads of state of Northern Nigeria origin had full knowledge of this group and their activities and have provided strong support for them. It is sad to observe that it is money stolen from the people of the Niger Delta that is now being used to sponsor jihad against all Easterners including the Niger Delta. As Dr. Walid Phares reported, the Islamic Emirate of Egypt gleefully stated “our brothers the Mujahidin are striking back at Western evangelization in Nigeria”; and a highly places Saudi Arabian commentator stated that the Nigerian government is “an agent of the West but Islam will win in Nigeria.”

Let no one be in doubt that Boko Haram will soon reorganize and come back to continue the jihad. When they do they will be better trained, better armed, and their goals and objectives will be better articulated. Believe us now, the target of the next jihad will be precisely Christians and thousands of them will be slaughtered. The ultimate goal of the Nigerian jihadists is to seize the oil and gas in Eastern Region Biafra and forcibly Islamize Biafra. If by an act of omission Biafra is allowed to be overrun by Islamic jihadists the consequences for Christianity in Africa will be catastrophic; the oil and gas fields located in Biafra will be in the hands of Osama, Al Zawahiri, the Caliphate, and Al Qaeda. The West which has been trying to prop up the failed state of Nigeria should ask itself a hard question. For whom are we propping up this failed state? The answer is for jihadist Islam. The sensible thing to do is to split Nigeria into its component parts: Biafra in the East, Oduduwa in the West, and Arewa in the North. If this is not done and Nigeria is left to explode into uncontrollable violence the eruption which will quickly turn into a mammoth inferno will take more than two decades to bring under control. This is why we are appealing to leaders of the free world to please make hay while the sun shines – divide the failed state of Nigeria into its component parts: the East [Biafra], the West [Oduduwa], and the North [Arewa]. This will save everyone a lot of heartache and headache.

The scramble and partition of Nigeria is already a burning issue thanks to agitations from various groups and 5 countries will likely emerge Arewa, Biafra, Middle Belt, Odua and N/Delta

The unrest in Niger delta, the boko haram and other sectional violence suggests the obvious.
We are just postponing evil days.

If this logic is to be plausible at all, we’ll need to break it up into at least 250 components, minimum. And that’s just absurd!

The problem with Nigeria is not that the people can not live together; we’ve done that for thousands of years without annihilating each other. Our elected leaders are the problem- they’ve hijacked the constitution, and corrupted the systems that should uphold it. The time spent suggesting useless panaceas, that would amount to nothing should be used to find ways we can hold our elected officials to the grind. Nairaland is certainly an excellent forum to disgrace the bastards – comments posted here can be googled! So that record stays with them for years to come. If they are crooked we should call them out, on blogs, news comments, at gatherings (don’t get beat down by thugs, though grin), if you see them at public places insult the bastards…the list of what we can do to this crooks goes on. Please refrain from trying to split the country, it wont work…Ojukwu tried it, and he got millions of innocent people killed.

@emyah,,

Very fertile imagination and honestly, i admire your effort.
The gospel truth is that we are all hostages to each other.
Go home and ask your uncles to conduct a referendum on your
proposal and you will find very few people in your own line
Go to Lagos, Abuja, Kano Ibadan etc and sample the views of your kinsmen.

Your appeal to the West/Christianity is not logical and your conclusions are rather
wild. Even your senior brothers in MASSOB do not have such fertile imaginations.
Evidently,MASSOB is not making any headway and I do not see people with
your comportment going beyond Nairaland.


Na today, Nigeria don pass that stage, we hear you.

Do you think that any of the atrocities these goons have perpetrated upon the Nigerian people is new? They are not – it is just now coming to light thru blogs, forums such as this one. Thanks to IT experts for their unselfish contribution to making Nigeria a better place. These contributions maybe small in your view; but positive solutions nonetheless. When they come to my neck of the woods with bogus claims, I call up my friends, and we disrupt their meetings, and call them out for what they are. That’s my small contribution. They are operating with impunity in a lot of places because no one dares to embarrass them – and let them know that come election, they’ll have no chance. Yes INEC is marred with corruption, but why are the masses not on the streets protesting? And yet in some wacky and convoluted rational, proponents of secession think they can garner enough support from the masses. Rubbish!

I know for sure that Nigeria has failed as a nation. We've wasted 49 years as a nation, staying further means wasting more years. The best thing to do is to disintegrate and let each section go and develop their place.
Re: The Sensible Thing To Do Is To Split Nigeria Into Its Component Parts: by GAR3TH(m): 11:34pm On Sep 03, 2009
But if Nigeria does split up, what problems are solved? The same corrupt leaders we have now will be the same ones leading the individual nations. Instead of tribal feuds we'll have wars and arguments over land. Prices of goods will go up because of import and other taxes. Every nation will be weak so their will be "invasions" by countries like china and the U.S to exploit are resources (imperialism). Just because you'll be the majority of the country doesn't mean that development and happiness will come. Look the African countries with a large majority. They are still in a 3rd world state. Most African countries have been independent for 40 plus years now and they still look the same, in a 3rd world state. But what do they all have in common, they have bad leaders. So if you split nothing really gets solved.

In my opinion, I just want a leader that will get Nigeria going. I don’t care what tribe, religion, race, whatever, if he can do the job right I’ll will elect him__[b]ONE NIGERIA[/b] wink

That way, nobody gets to blame North, South, East or West for any problems. You won't have to deal with corrupt leaders you don't know and you won't have to worry about the leaders of other regions/countries.
Right now, the system is so sqewed in favour of corruption that it can never be saved (except by an honest national conference; there is such a total dependence on FG stipends that each state has forgotten that they have resources (human, mineral, tourism etc) that can be developed. There is no healthy competition. you will be shocked at the sort of mineral resources Nigeria has outside of oil.

If we split up, the issue these will be solved:-
1) The issue of islamic northerners feeling that the igbos and christians should not exist because they are 'infidels'.
2) The incessant killing of the Igbos and Chrisitians in the North.
3) The continuous waste of lives of precious youths who go to the north for NYSC only to get killed during religious clashes.
4) The issue of the north trying to impose islamic ideas (like Islamic banking) and islamise the rest of the country against their wish.

Go to Ladipo, ASPamda/trade fair, Balogun, Kano ,Ibadan,Kaduna and Abuja and conduct a referendum.
We should look for permanent solutions to the issues you have raised.

Your brothers in those places I have mentioned will throw you out, if you dare mention your mission. By the way
our problem is bad leadership and a docile citizenry. Some are docile in exchange for government looking the other way as they smuggle, bribe and forge their way through the ports with their tokunboh fridge, cars , and counterfeit products and fake drugs. Others as they default on taxes and break all laws. Others rig elections and connive with bank managers in insider dealings and unsecured loans. THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

We need to enforce all laws and avoid breaking them by creating an alert and law abiding society where government is made to be accountable and the only way you can do that is to be law abiding in the first instance and additionally protest nad not tolerate any wrong either by government, governed or any political instituion for that amatter.

This is the way out. What makes you think others have no grievances against your people? Nigerians have for so long been subjected to the low taste and greed of others by way of fake drugs, products, tokunboh everything , armed robbery, 419 , low political culture (anything goes) and currently kidnapping, all in the name of business and trading.[/b]

Is there any doubt in anybody’s mind that the fake federation called Nigeria which was the product of colonial ideology has collapsed? This phony country whose originating ideology was to invalidate African history, philosophy, and humanism and treat African people like goods and products which can be packaged and consigned in boxes and bundles like bales of cotton or drums of palm oil is now the shame of the Black man all over the world. The mere existence of One Nigeria has shamed and traumatized Black people all over the world so much so that it would appear that the centerpiece of the chastisement handed down to Africans by their own son, the president of the United States, President Barack Obama in Accra, Ghana during his recent visit there was Nigeria. The centerpiece of that chastisement was indeed Evil Nigeria.

We keep focusing on the problems rather than tackling the sources. We only need to cut away the fingers fostering unrest in Nigeria. Libya is about to get richer with UK kneeling down for it's oil. We all know what Ghaddafy wants for Africa, and should start with dealing with that issue.

Nigerians need to start a petition drive to force our legislators to pass stricts laws about Nigerian agents of countries that want to disrupt our union. We should charge them with treason and ask them to explain the sources of their funds and the agenda behind them. All treasonable offences that cost the lives of Nigerians should be punishable by death.

We should stop our market-women approach to resolving problems and begin to visit our intellect and creativity in handling these issues. By the way, how many of you are totally indigenous, and have not inter-married or have cousins that are parts of other Nigerian tribes? It is madness to suggest and promote the breakup of the country.

wild. Even your senior brothers in MASSOB do not have such fertile imaginations.
Evidently,MASSOB is not making any headway and I do not see people with
your comportment going beyond Nairaland.


Na today, Nigeria don pass that stage, we hear you. Let us have this referendum for proper and let see what the result will be and stop guessing or predicting how our uncles will vote. You may be a helpless slave to yourself as you had admitted but not all us feel that they are helpless slaves.



We had been told this bare face lies for almost 50 year that we can't live without each other.

GAR3TH:

But if Nigeria does split up, what problems are solved? The same corrupt leaders we have now will be the same ones leading the individual nations. Instead of tribal feuds we'll have wars and arguments over land. Prices of goods will go up because of import and other taxes. Every nation will be weak so their will be "invasions" by countries like china and the U.S to exploit are resources (imperialism). Just because you'll be the majority of the country doesn't mean that development and happiness will come. Look the African countries with a large majority. They are still in a 3rd world state. Most African countries have been independent for 40 plus years now and they still look the same, in a 3rd world state. But what do they all have in common, they have bad leaders. So if you split nothing really gets solved.

In my opinion, I just want a leader that will get Nigeria going. I don’t care what tribe, religion, race, whatever, if he can do the job right I’ll will elect him__[b]ONE NIGERIA[/b] wink

It is said that problem half is problem solve, we may not get rid of the present problem completely but at least each emerging nation will have half of the personalities they use to have with Nigeria and they are united in crime in Nigeria. And now each nation will start to fashion out how they will solve their own headache without the use of tribalism to derail each move as obtained today.
No one had ever remained inside a failed marriage, just on the excuse that the next marriage may be the same. (as he/she will never know)
If people were thinking of death, no one will join the army.
Some people think that this is the first time it's ever happening in the history of man, if it works for a powerful super power like the Soviets with 15 new emerging countries, it can't be that bad.

If are going by your sentiment, I will ask you why the British haven't sent home 2 million Nigerians living legally or illegally in their country, after having asked for independence of them and got it close to 50 years ago?
And I will guess that you and your five brothers are still living in the same house with your parents and your own individual wives/children as you have a phobia living by yourself.
