The idea of having a near-perfect country out of a ruptured Nigeria is illusory. The composite parts of the country each contribute to the miasma of confusion that Nigeria is. No single entity is responsible for Nigeria’s problems. All the ethnic nationalities are equal shareholders in the failing of the Nigerian enterprise. There is enough blame to go around.

Splintering the entity has often been exalted as the remedy to Nigeria’s problems. But this is a defective reasoning because in this instance, Nigeria is defined by its geography and not its people. Nigeria is its people. It is the same people that will occupy the emergent states not angels. There is no paradise anywhere. The problem with Nigeria is a people-problem. Recalibrating the map will not change anything – if the minds of the people do not conform to progressive values.

The assumption that there will be ‘’divine concordance’’ if Nigeria breaks up according to regional lines is obtuse. That a people speak a common language does not put a stamp of camaraderie on group relationship. In the south-east for instance, there is native discrimination among people of the same region. Some are regarded as ‘’impure Igbo breeds’’ while others consider themselves as ‘’true Igbo scions’’.

There are areas sons of certain states are advised not to tread in search of love. Also, it is quotidian among the Igbo to describe people from certain areas in Ebonyi with the pejorative of ‘’wah awah’’ – ‘’impure breeds’’. And there is a deep gulf among classes on the social ladder in the region.

So, what will change if, for example, there is a south-east state as some are campaigning for? Will the present social order be inverted? Will the internecine hate and wrangling dissipate? Well, for sure I think the current revulsion that some have for the entity ‘’Nigeria’’ will be reserved for the emergent state. Elite corruption and abuse will still dominate the polity because the new order will be from the same predatory gene-pool. Non-ethnic predation will give way for ethnic predation because at the end of day class struggle is not resolved by the unity of language, religion or culture.
There is a classic example of a country in Africa steeped in economic and civil crisis after breaking away from the motherboard. The case of oil-rich South-Sudan rings a familiar bell.

Today, South-Sudan is one of the poorest countries on the surface of the earth despite its oil wealth. All the hoopla and gyrations that followed the country’s severance from Sudan soon gave way for tears, sorrow and blood.

As of 2019, 400,000 citizens have been killed in the South-Sudan crisis. Four million refugees created and 1.8 million people internally displaced. The cause of these tragedies boils down to power struggle among the elite who quickly mobilised themselves behind the emergent state to capture power.

A country fabled to be a lodestar in Africa and which was to be a compelling argument for splintering ‘’artificially created’’ states on the continent is now a functional example of why breaking up countries in Africa is not expedient.
An often parroted argument for Nigeria’s dissolution is that the country is an inorganic fabrication of the British. True, but so are many countries on the planet, yet they are thriving and working according to a common purpose.

Most countries in the world were created by accidents of history. It is nearly impossible to find a homogenous country. The problem with Nigeria, as we all know, is that we are yet to have a people’s leadership or as Chinua Achebe puts it, a leader “humbled by the trust placed on him by the people’’ and ‘’willing to use the power given to him for the good of the people’’.

We are stronger together. This is not a platitude but a fact. 90 percent of the wealth of the Igbo is not warehoused in the south-east. The Igbo are a peripatetic people gifted with extraordinary entrepreneurial abilities. They are among the most financially fortunate Nigerians. Nigeria and beyond are their trading arcade. They are in every nook, cranny and crevices in the country. It is unarguable that a united Nigeria is a more viable emporium for the Igbo than a fragmented Nigeria. It will not be the same for the business-minded Igbo with new states emerging from the wreck of Nigeria – the emergent states will certainly want to put up hedges that will protect their own people against outsiders. Where does that leave Chukwuma who has billions of naira worth of investments doting the north and the south-west?

The same theory applies to the north of which economy thrives on agriculture. Nigeria with its bubbling population is a consumer paradise for the agricultural produce of the north. In addition, there are bountiful benefits for the north from Nigeria’s oil wealth.

The south-west as well cannot subsist as an island. It needs the commerce of the Igbo, the endowments of the north, and rich cultural and material resources of other groups to blossom. We need each other.

Our diversity should count for something. It should be our strength. We will be the biggest losers if the Nigerian enterprise is liquidated. We must make Nigeria work.

It's a big lie. I'm not igbo. But with their unity and economic advantage and cooperation they will be the best gainers as they would galvanize their resources towards development and advancement

Is like u don take koko or akamu which igbos dey unite or get cooperation.

Not true. Everyone will now take their own destiny into their hands. The SW will become another Dubai with laudable initiatives. They can now control the Port and use the money to develop Ekiti, Osun and other. The Igbos too will start developing their resources too. They can start exporting manufactured products to other west African countries without the FGN putting stumbling block on their progress.

ohigus:











Is like u don take koko or akamu which igbos dey unite or get cooperation.

That's where you don't know the igbos. You and your kind. The igbos maybe quick to fight for power but resourceful and financial cooperation is highest with the igbos than any tribe in Africa. Do your research

Lie

This op is a stupid ass

ohigus:

LMAO which tribe is more United than Igbos in Nigeria

It's funny how u accuse Igbos of being clanish yet say we are not united

We have the largest business incubation system in the whole world

During covid-19 lock down we saw who helped themselves the most

When your enemy keep on spreading news that you will be the biggest loser if you breakup should tell you that you really need to breakup.

Silly post....so in that case we should all chill and get killed by the Fulani marauders, how many people can boost of maximum protection of lives and property up North?? Or you think Igbos don't have back up plans?? The North will surely be the biggest loser's, because their level of backwardness is comparable to non, so my friend go and sleep and stop worrying yourself about the Igbos, there is a popular song back then in the early 2000's "when there is life oO, there is hope"

Well it's not Igbos that fought themselves for 100 years neither was it Igbos that begged British to come save them for themselves

And it's not Igbos that are scared they would fight themselves for 100 years if they get there own country

So, because of fear of losses, they should not take that risk?

Is life not about losses?

I don’t know who sponsor posts like this but even if you are a Fulani man in all honesty how this country de favor you? Even if you are in government and you are making money. Your extended families will still kill you with responsibilities because if you don’t take care of them there’s no other plan for them.
If the country is on the right track you won’t be needing this kind of employment

ahh the OP is right then.
you ask for biafra I say take instead of being happy you they call stunt.
are you afraid of that your village uncle that would kill you � if you drag your small land with him??
or are you scared that you'll have to beg the Niger deltans for their oil or badly beg fulanis for fresh food that they didn't give to you guys during civil war that made your people look like this despite milk and honey in your land.

So Northerners will not be biggest loser, but South East.

MrColdsweat:

Is life not about losses?

Exactly!

Because of fear of material loss, we should remain in a country that some believe they own and was bequethed to them by Allah and the British; a country where some view us (Ndigbo) as second class citizens and Alaigbo a conquered territory to be plundered of its resources and split up, with parts added to none Igbo regions/states to limit our territory, deny us the full use of our God given resources and also deny us access to the sea?

'One Nigeria' can go to hell!

A badly behaved Girlfriend would make an aweful wife

If Ibos can parade this current crops of leaders now, even after getting Biafra they would have perhaps even more terrible leaders like Kanu

all those analysis na bullshit, let it breakup first, they are smart business people they will work with their allies to fill any gap. I think the north will enjoy terrorism

Many nations are good for Nigeria- yoruba, igbo, efik, edo, esan,ibibio, ogoni,ijaw can exist as separate nations or confederation in southern part of Nigeria. North will also disintegrate into many nations . Nigerua should be father of many nations. Population of some nations in the world is not up to 500,000. Most Nigeria leaders are morons with low intellectual capacity to govern population of 200M people.
