Look at it this way. Nigeria is a nation of 150m people. We're not starving (we could like Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan), we're not in complete anarchy (Uganda, Somalia, Koni's LRA etc).

Our people aren't exterminating each other (sort of, when the Housa aren't rampaging around) like in so many other parts of Africa. And while crime is bad, its nowhere near the levels seen in South Africa.

For what it worth, lets count our blessings and work hard to make this nation work. It could be far worse.

I fear if we split we will end up like Ivory Coast or Liberia.
