The United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Stuart Symington, has stated that Nigerians are capable of overcoming those agitating for secession.

Symington made this comment in a speech at an event held in commemoration of the 241st anniversary of American independence in Abuja on Thursday.

According to him, the first American President, George Washington, had warned that those who seek to weaken a country would always seek to start by causing disunity.

Symington said just like America, Nigeria would remain a united country because of its determined people and leaders.

He said, “Every time we have been challenged, we overcame danger because we had visionary leaders committed to union and citizens committed to ensuring justice for all.

“Today, Nigeria is fortunate to have such leaders and citizens. Together, they are dedicated to keeping Nigeria united and just and to ensuring every Nigerian is heard and taken into account and treated fairly.



“Together, those Nigerians will overpower any call to divide this nation.

“Thanks to them, thanks to you, the lamp of unity and justice burns brightly both in our nations tonight. And the sight of a united Nigeria’s light lifts Africa and with it, the world.”

The US envoy said Nigeria’s diversity is an inspiration to many countries.

He said that, just like the US, Nigeria’s plurality was a source of strength.

Symington added, “Wherever I meet a Nigerian, I ask ‘What do you like the most about your country?’ I like our diversity, our resilience, our energy, our warmth, our spirit, our food.’

“Just like the United States, Nigeria is a wonderfully diverse nation whose differences and diversity are sources of strength and reason for pride.”

ok

This is just a diplomatic statement as it's obvious even to the blind that Nigeria is currently on the brink.These Western imperialist only bother about what they derived from the deceptive system Nigeria operates but never cares for its genuine development.Thunder gbue gi there.

Weep for yourself bro.This matter concerns everyone with the genuine interest of Nigeria at hand.It's the political imbalance,defective structural equation & gross marginalization of other ethnic/geographical divide by the over-dominating Hausa-Fulanis that is fuelling the nationwide agitations.Do you want to continue with the political servitude in this country? Free yourself from mental slavery.

our number one supporters has started withdrawing soon they would help Nigerian conquer d biafra idea... #f##king whites

It is so so sad that nigerians who call themselves literates are still very much backward politically despite all the issues nigeria has passed through.
Any dumb fool that follows all these politicians calling for restructuring qnd die in the process will only have him or herself to blame when he or she sees those same politicians laughing happily and taking up political posts in 2019 in nigeria.
Never let nigeria politiciana use you to acheive their aims and objevtives.

Devil punish democrats

Is that so? I don't think the secession can succeed but restructuring is imperative, that's why on one hand I'm supporting the call for biafra, it will put pressure on the current useless system of government we're running.

He's an ambassador to Nigeria.NEVER you expect him to say the opposite. Even kids know that disintegration is inevitable, so he had to be diplomatic in his speech delivery.

Commonwealth Minister George Thomas
wrote in August 1967 that: 'The sole
immediate British interest in Nigeria is
that the Nigerian economy should be
brought back to a condition in which our
substantial trade and investment in the
country can be further developed, and
particularly so we can regain access to
important oil installations'.

Thomas further outlined the primary
reason why Britain was so keen to
preserve Nigerian unity, noting that 'our
only direct interest in the maintenance of
the federation is that Nigeria has been
developed as an economic unit and any
disruption of this would have adverse
effects on trade and development'. If
Nigeria were to break up, he added: 'We
cannot expect that economic cooperation
between the component parts of what was
Nigeria, particularly between the East and
the West, will necessarily enable
development and trade to proceed at the
same level as they would have done in a
unified Nigeria; nor can we now count on
the Shell/BP oil concession being
regained on the same terms as in the past
if the East and the mid-West assume full
control of their own economies'.
