Why Not Allow The 'velvet Divorce' And Divide Nigeria by valentineuwakwe(m): 2:20pm On Jun 03, 2021
Federal Republic of Nigeria is just a mere geographical expression so says the late Awo , many doubted this but recent events across the country have begin to make us look back into history. Are we meant to be together as a nation?

Forget about the indivisiblity, indissolubility and non-negotiable thing they preach to us, Every Nigerian politian always shy from the truth once he gets near the corridors of power, some even forget words they have spoken both on the print media and on online, forgetting that the internet never lies. Why so much bitterness, hatred and crisis among the various ethnic groups now in Nigeria. We must all come out and speak the truth and once and for all resolve this madness we call kidnapping, Banditry, Boko haram and insurgency!

I have alway blame our Founding fathers who saw the sharp differences in our cultural and religious backgrounds, yet cry one indivisible country when within them they knew we were never one. There was so much bitterness, ,suspicion, Rivalry and sharp differences but Britain always charge them to believe unity in our diversity.

I also want to blame the late Azikiwe for the problems so far, he knew we were not meant to be, but because he wanted to answer the Zik of one pan Africa and one nigeria, and believing the igbo race as superior as he dreamt will outsmart other ethnic group to control Nigeria fell for a checkmate...instead Britain outsmart him and gave power to the Hausa/Fulani tribe!

why was history remove in our curricula since the year 2000 from being taught in all secondary schools in the country? Are our leaders trying to hide something from us?
With all this crisis, is it not time we tell ourselves the truth? We have had so many constitutional amendments since 1999 even one we had in 2014, none have been implemented. why carry out another constitutional amendment when what is need is a new constitution since every region felt marginalized and the cry for restructuring is becoming louder!

While the U.S. is made to just sit, watch and do nothing, Britain takes the gain in all of these. Their is something Britain is gaining from this experiment they call Nigeria. Since it was an experiment as they put it and seeing how crisis have continue to envelope the nation,is it not good to negotiate a peaceful separation? I remember the sharia crisis in northern nigeria in which afterwards the late Libyan leader Col. GADAFFI ask former leaders in IBB and OBJ to split the country into two halves with the north taking Abuja as capital and the south taking Lagos as capital......come and see the rain of abuse the Nigeria media cast on him and called him evil names. But today the said things he mentioned still befell us,,where are we going and why is Britain keeping quite? Funny enough, the IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu is in Britain.

Until Russia, France and China step up its influence on Nigeria, it can never divide or be better.Britain will always tell them to step back, that the country is her area of jurisdictions as our former colonial masters. Now read history below and comprehend why is it hard for them to split Nigeria like They did below;

- They allow INDOCHINA to split into Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam
- They allow YUGOSLAVIA split into Bosnia &Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Serbia, Kosovo, and Montenegro
- They Even allow Mighty USSR split in 1991 into Russia, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turmenistan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Ukraine
- They Split the old ottoman empire to create Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Palestine
- Even Russia invaded and aided the separation of Ukraine and form the Crimea republic. They Even invaded Georgia and aided the formation of south Ossetia and Abkhazia.
- Britain lastly acted as a chief negotiator and apply the 'Velvet Divorce' - peaceful separation of Czechoslovakia into Czech and Slovakia on January west, 1993.all military asset, embassies, external reserves, naval ship, you name it were shared peacefully a month this two countries.so why cant this same velvet divorce be applicable to Nigeria since we tend to experience ethnic crisis and political suspicions all the time?

And now the President sent a tweet and cause uproar across the country. Let me remind him that the civil war fought in 1967 was a childs play, the one coming may be more deadlier and bloody, we may not survive it as a nation except our leaders tell themselves the truth.

It is time we ask ourselves if this experiment will continue or must end now!

They allow INDOCHINA to split into Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam

Indochina was just a general term for the region. They have always been separate countries from time inmemmorial. Laos , Cambodia and Vietnam were french colonies, Myanmar was a britiish colony...and Thailand was always independent even.

Thailand and Myanmar and Cambodia used to even fight wars with each other self.

-
They allow YUGOSLAVIA split into Bosnia &Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Serbia, Kosovo, and Montenegro

Yugosalvia hasn't been one country like that...in the begining, most of the area was under Roman rule, then developed into idnependent countries, then came under varied empires...then werejoined together to form an independent nation for slavs, then were broken by Adolf, then reunited...then broke down because the Serbs and Croats could not agree...

-
They Even allow Mighty USSR split in 1991 into Russia, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turmenistan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Ukraine

USSR split out of its own accord. Plus, it can be argued that most of those countries were colonies of Russia declaring independence...the Commies took over the old structures of the Russian empire.

To understand what happened in the USSR...imagine a communist rebellion in the UK in 1910...and the communists declare that all the colonies of the UK are now part of the UNION of British Soviet socialist republics. It is still the same British EMPIRE...but different name.


- They Split the old ottoman empire to create Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Palestine

Same argument. The Ottoman empire was like the Brit Empire...and the countries declared their independence from that empire...though they then ended up under Brit and French rule...Sykes Picot anyone?(There are a lot of reasons why Arabs don't trust the West.)

-
Even Russia invaded and aided the separation of Ukraine and form the Crimea republic. They Even invaded Georgia and aided the formation of south Ossetia and Abkhazia.

So you want an invasion to acheive your goals. Those don't end well. (Adolf originally wanted to liberate the german people from Bohemia, Pomeramnia, etc etc...we know how that ended)

Britain lastly acted as a chief negotiator and apply the 'Velvet Divorce' - peaceful separation of Czechoslovakia into Czech and Slovakia on January west, 1993.all military asset, embassies, external reserves, naval ship, you name it were shared peacefully a month this two countries.so why cant this same velvet divorce be applicable to Nigeria since we tend to experience ethnic crisis and political suspicions all the time?

The Czechs, even under Communism were run separate from the Slovaks...plus the breakup of Czechoslovakia was done by the Czechs and Slovaks themselves...plus it was just the final act in the breakup of the old Austro-Hungarian empire...which was a colonial empire like the British and Russian empire...


You want the West to break up Nigeria...instead of taking action yourselves to achieve your goals. Well, he who asks for Assyria's help must also worship Assyria's gods...as the ancient Judeans found out to their cost.. Nothing goes for nothing.


Join a party, and fight for yoru golas the democratic way. That Scottish referendum...it took them 80 years of fighting via the demcoratic process..to get the appropriate laws passed...under a prime minister of the GB who was Scottish.tHEY DID IT via the democratic process.

Violence only makes matters worse.


P.S : I don't hate any tribe or religion or race. Like I said, there are better and more peaceful ways to achieve Biafra. I am not opposed to that ie peaceful means of doing so. But taking up Arms...the problem is wars in Africa are not like wars in Europe...we fight hard and dirty and even when there are no lines anymore.

P.S 2...The Scots tried violence to achieve their goals...and failed twice. So they did it the democratic way...and now they could get referendum 2, and they could win.
