"Nigeria Is Better As One" - Obasanjo Speaks On Agitations For Secession by MckenzieSkyBlog: 12:08am On Jun 10, 2021
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has urged all agitators calling for the disintegration of the country to abandon their plans and strive for the country's unity and oneness

He maintains that it is better for Nigeria to remain one indivisible country rather than for each tribe to go their own way.

The former president made the remarks at a luncheon and investiture of the former president as a Fellow of the Nigerian Institution of Surveyor, hosted by the Body of Fellows of the NIS, Ogun State branch, on Wednesday.

Obasanjo went on to say that, though the current situation in the country is unpalatable, advocating for the country's disintegration is not the solution, and that "it is better we stay together."

In his words;

“If there is any Nigerian who does not feel apprehensive about the situation of the country, the person is a human being without being human.

“Any Nigerian who is human will be apprehensive, if not frustrated with the present situation in the country. We are apprehensive about the security situation, apprehensive about the economic situation, apprehensive about our political situation and the drum we are hearing is of disintegration of the country.

“I am a strong believer of one Nigeria, but not one Nigeria at any cost, but one...READ MORE

OBJ is a "respected " person but his delusion for one Nigeria and failure to relinguish the fact that he fought to keep an unmendable entity is distorting his judgement.

No matter what anybody says, this country will split eventually.

Obasanjo is the biggest cancer in Yorubaland. Those who know history don't rate this basttard of a man.

If you listen with open mind you’ll see it’s all about selfish interest. Nothing can diminish me as a citizen of Yoruba Nation.

You can not tell me you are at fault for hitting me with a car and you keep telling me i am better as disabled. Hell no Obadanjo you’re wrong, and everything you said makes not sense at all

You admitted to being a bad leader but you said those you badly led are better in that condition. How?

Sir, you’re crazy, because we’ve not decided to set you ablaze didn’t mean we still won’t do it should you continue sounding insensitive.

Nigerian "politics and government" is exclusive old men's club, that has refused to retire nor allow an orderly succession plan.

The class of 1967-70 will not let go but replicate themselves by proxies and fronts without recourse to generation change and socioeconomic challenges.

Pressure is the only solution left to defeat tranny and government sanctioned ethnic terrorism, favouritism and lackadaisical attitude to security to lives and threat to our freedom of expression.

Fulani invaders are slaughtering your people like chickens and you are talking about Nigeria? Let the country split, Biafra, Ododuwa, Niger Delta, Arewa should go on their own, the only people I feel sorry for is the middle belt and northern Christians.
