If Nigeria was truly buoyant politically and economically and very stable with good standards of living, all these small neighbouring countries like Benin republic, principe ans Sao tome, Equatorial Guinea, even Niger republic, Southern Cameroon and Chad will be asking to be part of the buoyant Nigeria, thus forming an African style Soviet Union

Honestly.
That country will be making a big mistake
Funny enough they won't be making a big mistake considering the fact the their economy depends largely on Nig economy but the joke would be on us in a long run.

But the president was just joking, an expensive joke though

This Benin president needs a brain check. You want Benin to be the 37th Nigerian state? When most Nigerians want out of the unholy matrimony called Nigeria? This is similar to Bangladesh saying they want to merge with Pakistan ...This must be an expensive joke grin

Which genius thought about this idea?

For a country that cannot cater to it's 180million people. On the brink of fracture because of ethnic bias and social injustice Let's go ahead and add another 13 million people.

Nice logic guys. Well done

Them speaking Yoruba doesn’t make them Yoruba..

Even some French speaks Yoruba. You can take a trip to Cotonou

Spot the difference and learn..

Learn to keep quite if you don't know history.

The founder of Popo, sabe, ajashe in Benin republic they're brothers (probably the youngest) to the founder of Owu, Oyo, etc in Yoruba land they're all oduduwa grand children

That is If the Nigeria will still remain there to join




well i know that French government will not tolerate that sale of sovereignty



just dey there so that yoruba will an ascape home when the country well be rightly on fire

There is nothing France can do.

The only reason why France still has a lot of say in the politics of their former colonies is because the Elites allow them.

How does this analogy correlate with the issue on ground?

Bangladesh (form. Eastern Pakistan) broke away from Pakistan. Did Benin Republic break away from Nigeria?
they were broken into two by Europeans

I know many bennenoires and Cameroonians whom wished they were Nigerians....

I traveled for businesses and am amazed at the warm & respectful reception I get been a Nigerian...

That's the only way every single African can prosper, if only we know and not devide the colonialist like the division of Africa it is to there advantage the moment Africa unite and become one single force that is when poverty will end in the entire continent of Africa, we are one Africa is one only scars divides us.

I'm sorry but pan African unification is nothing but a fantasy made up by naive black Americans.

Africans have been fighting each other before these borders were made up, the fact that we all share the same skin colour is irrelevant.
