If Nigeria divides everyone will be the loser because the division will be more than u think. Even Biafra will divide their own. Hate can only breed more hate not love. Division mentality will breed more division.

if Nigeria divides, the biggest gainers will be all the oil producing states and Lagos...

then the next gainers will be new countries now have the ability to deport and ban criminals that are not from the new countries...

no more people like you shouting strength in unity...

NEXT NIGER REPUBLIC AND CHAD WILL FOLLOW ABI?



IT IS BETTER FOR YORUBA TO JOIN BENIN REPUBLIC AND HAUSA TO JOIN NIGER REPUBLIC.




WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY FURTHER ENTRY INTO NIGERIA, WITHOUT BIAFRA EXIT FIRST.

Nigeria should look at the crises in Cameroun between English speaking parts and French speaking parts.

It's a disaster waiting to happen.

There would now be the English speaking part, Hausa speaking part and the French speaking part.

When we separate into different countries and we have the Oodua Nation, we will welcome Benin Republic with a very open arm to enjoy from our ensuing prosperity.

And when oil becomes less useful and promising what will they do? Divide? Does Venezuela not have oil? This should tell u having oil is not a big deal it’s what u do with the revenue that matters. Oil won’t be like this forever don’t let it make u lazy.

And even oil producing states and local government will fight over oil and divide Since nobody can be forced to be where they don’t want. I see more loses than wins.

No they didn't break away from Nigeria. Whether Bangladesh broke away or not, Bangladesh shares boundaries with Pakistan right? that's what I was inferring in this discourse... thanks

They don't share boundaries. They were both Muslim nations but different ethnicities.

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?
It correlates, and I get his point well.

This is good news. Nigeria has a lot of potentials in its togetherness. The advantages far outweighs the disadvantages. An oduduwa or biafra or arewa nation will only help in destabilising the west african subregion, the mis-governance and corruption prevalent in the current Nigeria will only be taken deeper to the grassroots and amplified. Imagine Rochas or Orji Uzor Kalu or Theodore orji or Amaechi being the president of the east. imagine Dimeji bankole or
FFK or Lai Mohamed or Fayose being president of oduduwa..tin gods and mini Hitler's will only be created.

If Nigeria and Nigerians can get their acts right, the ambazonians, camerounians, equatorial Guineans, nigerians will plead to become part of nigeria

oil can never become less useful.
venezuela issues has to do with economic sanctions from the corrupt white countries.

apart from oil, they have fertile land, human capital, access to the sea, seaports, airports, universities, schools, labs e.t.c..

they will never fight over it because a sharing quota will be used and everyone will have their share and they will not need to share their oil and revenue with 35 other states, this means there will be more indigenous billionaires which means more revenue for each new country.

if northern nigeria was never joined with southern Nigeria, you'll never know anyone called d:angote, ibb, d:antata, i:ndimi e.t.c....

you see more loses because you're not intelligent enough to see the wins..

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
