I think there is a problem with all eastern parts of all African countries, they are all high on successionism - Nigeria - ghana - ethiopia only cameroun has a western challenge and Niger the southern part that wants to be part of Nigeria - I am just wondering, if they allow people split along their preferences we would have more then 3000 countries in africa
who cares if they are up to one million? That is far better than countries that were created by white racists. BTW Europeans don't have the monopoly of creating countries.

Europeans have MANY different cultures. And as you are surely aware, many different languages.

Which unity?

Over the past few centuries, they've bickered and fought, and slaughtered themselves in the tens of millions.

The last time was just 70 years ago and it left over 50 million people dead.

These peaceful times we live in is unprecedented.
I'm not talking about the continent,I'm talking about a country for example england,spain or france
The three of them have one culture each,not cultures immigrants brought.

American are great for uniting together
Russia wants Ukraine to come back


Africa want division

Division based on different tribe and religion

Whenever we meet a stranger, we try to evaluate the person in terms of our perception. We try to see what we share in common. The more similarly,the tendency to open ourselves more to friendship. We reserve a space  for those who share our family, language, ethnicity and expand it to those who share our hobbies,job, religion etc. This  common trait enable us build bridges beyond ourselves and those outside of us .

In the same way, when the dissimilarities are more, we create a barrier . We do not include them in our circle . We create imaginary wall. We hold our emotion so tight .

We are consciously or unconsciously connecting with people or saperating from them.The boss who isolates himself from the  workers treating them as  human machine  is building a wall of saperation . The master who offers a word of appreciation,, ask how the children are doing  builds bridges of connection. Every wall we build breeds a new wall . 

Whatever keeps us from reaching out to people is a wall. It could be sence of superiority, wall of selfishness, intolerance, group,fear etc

To curb this, we should see ourselves first as human and admit that the other is a living being like us. Developing closeness to the entire human. Seeing ourselves in terms of this group or that group obstructs us from a wider identity as human beings. We should refrain from getting so attached to our religion or group as that would blind us from seeing the value of another religion. We can take a cue from doctors and red Cross members who offer assistance to injured without inquiring about the patient group. Our motive should be universal compassion and desire to alleviate the suffering of others.

Personally, I think all African countries should renegotiate their sovereignty. It is foolhardiness to be clingy to the greedy, unlawful, illegal and immoral partitioning of Africa in 1884 by white racists.

We need new countries in Africa. We should however not resort to this level of crass violence to achieve it.

Until we sit down and talk, across Africa, we will keep having this issues. I mean, look at the Ambazonia issue in Cameroon.

The same foreign forces that partitioned Africa at the Berlin conference might still be the ones behind the present instability.

How? In what terms? Population or landmass? In both landmass and population sizes, Oyo State is no match to Ghana. For your information, Ghana is bigger than the entire southern Nigeria (South-West+ South-East+South-South combined). Ghana has a landmass of 238,535 sq.km. On the other hand, the landmass of the whole southern Nigeria (SW+SS+SE) is just approximately 193,777 sq.km. How then will you compare a small Oyo State that has a landmass of just 28,4 54 sq.km to a whole country Ghana that has landmass of 238,535 sq.km? It's better you keep quiet than display your ignorance. Even in terms of population, Ghana's population is approximately 28,480,000 (2016), while Oyo State's population is approximately 7,840,900 (NPC projection, 2016).

This comment is only two inches away from complete rubbish. In other words you're saying that we should endure and suffer from generations past, to present generations and to future/unborn generations forever and ever (World Without End) because some colonial imperialists joined us together for colonial interests chiefly RESOURCE THEFT? You're saying because of family splitting, we should suffer and endure everlasting ANIMAL FARM deprivation, suppression, retrogression, oppression, and endemic poverty in the midst of unquantifiable surplus? So you only have bad examples of splitting to buttress your point? You have not heard of Scotland and Ireland? You have not heard of several flourishing economies that splitted away from former dominant oppressors who are now doing well and better compared to their former enslaved and oppressed status?
You're afraid of positive change so that we suffer the injustices, suffering, poverty and neglect our forefathers, parents and people suffered since 1914? Whether each family becomes a sovereign state in the future is nobody's headache or heartache as long as it will lead to thriving States and economies existing in EQUAL RIGHTS, JUSTICE, PEACE, LOVE, UNITY AND PROSPERITY.

I stopped reading after the first sentence. You don't know how to have a civil conversation. Enjoy your opinion.
Re: Ghana's Western Togoland Region Declares Sovereignty by bigtt76(f): 1:34pm On Sep 26, 2020
Not sure how that would help though. African countries are most hostile to themselves than European countries are to each other. Infact African countries respect the western countries more and are ready to shift grounds to accommodate them than their own African Brothers and sisters.

As an African, you can't even travel freely or live freely within another African Union or Ecowas country... what makes us different from the western countries requesting visas from Africans before they can visit? Crazy

What I'm saying in essence is that, greed above anything else fuels these calls for disintegration any more than the feeling of being marginalized.

Una ehn!

Why do you think splitting isn't necessary and Africa thing and who told you that the Europeans own the monopoly of splitting and forming new states when coexistence isn't achievable after decades of forced union?

About being Neighbours; Vatican is not only a neighborhor to Italy, it is inside of Italy.

What about Kosovo, North and South Korea, Singapore Malaysia, South and North Sudan and even now Scotland wanting to leave the Britain?

People who are self determined (as self determination is boldly inked in the constitutions all over the world) must be allowed to be
on their own, exhibit what they feel they couldn't express unless they're independent.

The easiest way of achieving peace is by prompting freedom!!!

I am surprised how you totally misunderstood the first statement and still went ahead to say things that support it. When someone says "splitting isn't necessarily an African thing" and proceeds to give examples of countries that splitted in Europe, Asia and the Americas, he is only saying that splitting is a general thing and not peculiar to any continent. He's not saying Europe has the monopoly.

The point is there is that splitting doesn't necessarily come cause of past colonial effects cause many countries that didn't have that still splitted.

Cultural affliction should be considered as a factor in splitting.

Seeing how extremely diverse African is in terms of culture, this would only result in many countries as small as a state and some of these countries wouldn't even be economically viable enough to survive on it's own so they'd still depend almost entirely on the people they splitted away from. In that case, they wouldn't even be able to complain of marginalization anymore.

Are you using population size or landmass? It is only in terms of population that a combination of Lagos and Kano states will match that of Ghana, but in terms of landmass, a combination of Lagos and Kano (20,131 sq.km+3,577 sq.km=23,708 sq.km) is not up to one-tenth of the landmass of Ghana (238,535 sq.km).
