But Mr Obasanjo, who noted that Nigeria’s diversity remained a major source of its strength, explained that disintegration would result in “weak republics”.

“One thing that gives us strength is our diversity. If all that we have is Republic of Oduduwa for those who say so, members of that country will be diminished compared to being a citizen of Nigeria.

“Citizens of Oduduwa Republic or any other republic borne out of Nigeria will be diminished compared to being citizens of Nigeria.

“In this age and time that we are talking about the reintegration of Africa for economic development, disintegration of any country will be almost idiotic,” he said.

The former president wondered what would become of the over 300 minorities in Nigeria if the three major tribes went their separate ways.

“If we have Igboland as an independent country, Yorubaland, an independent country, and Fulani/Hausaland an independent country, where will the Jukuns or the Gbasama belong?

I disagree with you sir on the issue surrounding already disintegrated Nations that are not doing better, currently, Nigeria happen to be the only country in the world that is being govern with lies from its leaders just like what you posted above,
Nigeria is not 1, and we can never be , this is the hard truth we need to say to ourself.
And more also, South Sudan is far more better than Nigeria of today.

Funny man! Every single political problem we have in this country today has your imprints on it. This country would have been better if you were not born... 1966, after the coup, Nzeogwu sent you to Lagos to negotiate with Ironsi, you went there and feathered your own nest, inviting Nzeogwu over for a peace deal with Ironsi. Dude was arrested at the airport on arrival. 1975, you knew how blood thirsty Murtala Mohammed was but still organized a coup with him because those of you in the Army that saw yourselves as "the field commanders" during the war, wanted to take charge from your Ogas! Murtala came in and destroyed the Civil Service with his ubiquitous "fight against corruption", then started the mindless desecration of the country with whimsical state creations done without recourse to either ethnic or cultural affinities amongst constituent units. Nigeria has never recovered from this!

You then took over in 1976 and started off by basically eliminating most middle belt officers with trumped up charges! Backdating decrees and summarily executing convicts tried by prejudiced tribunals. That's how the army was handed over to the fulanis. You sealed that off by forcing half baked Shagari on us as the president just to thank the far north for making you president! They will make you a president again in 1999 since you are the only one they can trust with power in the whole of Western Nigeria and again, you handed power back to another fuulani as if they are the only ethnic group in Northern Nigeria! Again, you will resurrect Buhari from the dead and foist him on Nigeria, yet again as the president! That's 3 fulanis you made presidents in one lifetime! You can see how your fulani experiment is working out in paces like Agatu, Iganga and Benin Republic IDP camps! In between all these, you became one of the richest people on earth! Killed thousands in Odi and levelled Zaki Biam! How can such a character be allowed to pontificate on Nigerias problems?

“We had seen it before, India was broken into India and Pakistan, they are still at war till today. “Yugoslavia was broken into different countries, they haven’t sorted it till today.
“Sudan was broken into Sudan and South Sudan, I don’t believe South Sudan is better for it and that is the truth,” he said.

OBASANJO SAID:



Exact same thing I've been saying on this forum for months. You break up Nigeria, you diminish yourselves into little weak republics like Sierra Leone, with zero guarantee of prosperity.

You are wrong sir.

1) The primary reason for the existence of Nigeria is the protection of the lives of Nigerians and Ensure their holestic development. Nigeria has failed to achieve these objectives.

2) Having a very large country consisting of several Small Nations in one country doesn't necessarily guarantee greatness.

3) Switzerland, Rwanda, Jamaica, Singapore are small countries in different parts of the world that are doing well.

4) Oduduwa Republic, Niger-Delta Republic and Biafran Republic have what it take to excel and will do better than the present Nigeria.

April4th:
Useless man, shey you done tire to write letter? Under GEJ government, you were busy writing useless letters. Try it now, that a Fulani janjaweedian ex general is in charge. Nonsense, if He hear peem from your mouth, Kuje maximum straight.

oyatz:

I guess you haven't been born in 2018 when Obasanjo wrote a letter to Buhari?

bjdon:
If you travel around Nigeria you will see under development everywhere. Dilapidated schools and hospitals, terrible roads, poor sanitation. There are state governors and LG chairmen everywhere doing nothing for their people. This will not change if there is a Biafra, Oduduwa or Arewa republic. The corrupt mentality, the greed, the lack of consideration for the less well off. Its these traits that define the Nigerian today and will define the Biafran, Oduduwan and Arewan tomorrow. Much better to remain part of a United Nigeria and fight to expunge the negative traits. This country can be a super power if enough of us fight for it
