That was my 9-year old daughter's response after trying to explain to her what led to the 30-month Nigerian civil war. Before this, she never heard about the war or anything close to it. Personally, I think she's right. There's not sense in trying to force a group to be with you. It's only a matter of time.

The entity known as Nigeria today never agreed to live together unlike other federations; they were amalgamated. Since they didn't agree to be together, they can be together.

the only way you can explain war to a child is by removing all their toys and saying that it is right because someone else (who doesnt agree with her having so many toys) wants it that way. lets see what she says then...

We must have to go, let those who want to remain , remain, marriage is not by force

Is there any person/group or association forcing any region to still remain in the contraption called Nigeria?

As it stands, no secession clause in our constitution... No region have made any move at both House of Reps and Senate to introduce a bill to allow secession...
