40,000 people are slaughtered every year in America, by their fellow citizens.

Rossnitti:


NOT ONCE did we hear Americans lament ''our country is failed. Let's break up!!''

Rossnitti:


The US has over 50 secessionist movements, but they're really just mediocre operations with no public support.




''According to the CDC, between 1999 and 2014 there have been 185,718 homicides from use of a firearm and 291,571 suicides using a firearm in the US.''

That's in just a 5 year period.

It's even more than 40k a year gun deaths.

Meanwhile, Nigeria's death toll from Boko haram, Fulani herdsmen, kidnappers combined, is counted in at most a couple thousand a year, but all we hear is ''INSECURITY!!!!!!'' from people typing in comfy apartments on laptops thousands of miles away from the ''INSECURITY!!!!!''

World bank website. Now do side by side stats if you want to claim nigeria safer than USA.

Intentional homicide rate per 100k:
Nigeria 10 (2015)
USA 5 (2016)

Data on homicides, in particular, in Africa is patchy and diverging. In Nigeria official statistics are hard to come by. In 2004 the World Health Organization reported the homicide rate in Nigeria at 5.4 per 100.000 inhabitants. Data provided by the Nigeria Police Force indicate that there were 2,712 and 2,861 homicides in 2012 and 2013, respectively. However, according to the Federal Ministry of Justice, these data are incomplete since not all States appear to maintain statistics or report on them on a regular and reliable basis. A report published recently by the National Bureau of Statistics put the number of "murders" in 2017 at 3,219. An alternative source is provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) who estimated in 2014 17,059 victims of homicide. In 2017, the National Bureau of Statistics published prison statistics indicating that from 2013 to 2016 an average of 8,264 per year, were imprisoned for allegedly committing homicide.

To find out more about homicides in Nigeria, UNODC, in partnership with the National Bureau of Statistics of Nigeria, in 2016 conducted a survey covering more than 33,000 households across all 36 States and the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria. The results of the survey provide strong evidence that the level of lethal violence in Nigeria could be significantly higher than reported to the authorities or estimated based on public health data. On the basis of the survey sample, the annual homicide rate of Nigeria in the period 2013-2016 was estimated at 34 per 100,000 population, corresponding to around 64,000 victims of intentional homicide annually with significant variations across the six geopolitical zones. The total homicide rate was estimated to be the highest in the North-East: 79 per 100,000 population and North-Central: 65 per 100.000. With an estimated 4.4 victims of homicide per 100.000 inhabitants, the homicide rate was the lowest in the South-West.

If I were you and the OP, I would stop paying attention to Nigerian politics at this point. I used to be as naive as the both of you, but reality and time will show you what's actually happening and at the point you'll just end up sounding arrogant and out of touch saying things like that. You may even become very depressed and stressed if you dig further. But if you're willing to take on that disappointment frustration and anxiety, dig on my brother. The day you witness a Nigerian election is the last day you'll advocate 'voting' you're way out of the situation lol. The day you learn about how politics works in Nigeria or how the parties work, is the last day you'll even consider the system feasible.

Everything in Nigeria is working except it's government and it's unity. All of the things your proposing have been done, and done again since memories in this country don't pass 4 years it seems. Go back and check what happened when the things you're proposing were done and don't assume arrogantly that you're saying something new or 'common sense'. Once you learn the reality intimately, you can then propose things based on that reality. But 'vote' and not 'writing off nigeria') aren't it. Nigeria's failures are life and death for millions of people every decade, telling them to not 'write off nigeria' is telling them to not admit the problem for no foreseeable gain.

Until then you will continue talking to yourselves.

You are clearly an emotional dunce with low IQ, hence your wretched response with zero intellectual involvement.

There were not 1 million Nigerians in Britain in 1960.

Not sure where you pulled that bit of ignorance from.

As said earlier, Igbos CAN leave. Nobody will stop them. So long as they don't try to claim the delta, which is not theirs.

And I still can't for the life of me figure HOW it is that the group that has THE MOST EMIGRANTS to other parts of Nigeria are the same group calling for ''every man to go his way''.

Why do you have to WAIT for a declaration of 'Biafra' before you all pack your bags back to the East?

Why not just leave now?

5 million Igbos in Lagos.

5 million in the north.

You claim to hate Nigeria so much. What are you doing in those places in your MILLIONS?

If the Nigerian breakup you call for is actualized, do you think you will be allowed to remain in those places in your millions as foreigners?

You will be deported EN MASSE back to the East.

Can the landlocked East handle 15 to 20 million deportees?

The humanitarian implications are mind-bogglingly insane!

When will you dullards sit down and think through exactly what you are asking for, in calling for Nigeria's dissolution?

Rossnitti:
Many Nairalanders describe Nigeria as 'failed', with break up of the country the only solution.

Most of them do this based primarily on their opposition to the current Buhari administration.

Here's a message for that crowd:

The problem with you is that you are thick, dumb and ignorant with regard to what it means to be a democracy.

Your thick skulls cannot understand that democracy is turn by turn and will not always favour you.

Buhari is a problem for you, so your solution is ''the country is failed!! Let's break up!!''

No part of your dull brain thinks ''ok, this is a democracy. His term's up in under 2 years. Let me join forces with like-minded citizens to vote him out of office and get in someone whose policies are more favourable to me''.

That is what folks in the US did, despite Trump trashing their nation on a daily basis, openly supporting killer racist neo nazi groups, describing them as ''good people'' to mass outrage, among other assaults on public sensibilities.

NOT ONCE did we hear Americans lament ''our country is failed. Let's break up!!''

Instead, they stormed the polls in greater numbers than ever seen, and voted Trump out of office.

Finish.

So you people who act as if Nigeria is some sort of life presidency for Buhari/Fulani people, with ''breakup'' the only option, need to go back to your villages and FARM, or TAP PALM WINE, because that is as far as your semi-literate intellects can take you.

Ridiculous people.

He started with big, jumbo words, but ended up making no sense. "You don't tell the the deaf that war is going on, he will see it with his eyes."
He's comparing America and Nigeria, how? In what sense?
