It is clear that a forceful approach to dividing Nigeria will only lead to loss of lives and infrastructure on a massive scale. It is also clear that with the situation of things in the country, the end of Nigeria as a country is almost a certainty. So this begs the question; is there a lawful and peaceful way Nigeria can be divided into Hausa,Igbo and Yoruba countries or more?

Please, share your view(s).

Ijaw produces over 90 percent of all Nigeria's crude oil but were unjustly balkanized into six States of which are in Nigerias Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States with the aim to weaken Ijaw unity when all Ijaws are together
Its two hands that wash each other clean.
If UGM want Biafra they should collaborate with the Ijaw Liberation Front ILF and they will stop all pipelines leaving Ijaw Nation and Nigeria will crumble then all can go their different ways.
But because of Ijaw oil Igbo continue to add parts of Ijaw to Biafra instead of them to think well.

AlexBells:

There are ways to dissolve a country, however Nigeria had always been a killing field even before the coming of the British so you need to state clearly the reasons for the division, more people would die if Nigeria divides peacefully to put it straight a peaceful separation of Nigeria is not possible and separation would have a long term cost of iron and blood becuase nations would go back to their fights and there would be no mighty Nigerian army to wade in when Benin start fighting with Ijaw or Igala with Benin, or Ibadan with Fulani and so on, with modern weapons death toll would be high

Yujin:

You lie. A peaceful division is very much possible. Only few aggrieved parties will (not may) will attempt to invade perceived weaker states. It will however be a failure because there's an international body that will intervene. In a nutshell, a peaceful division is possible. However, external interests may prefer a little violence before any intervention.

AlexBells:

Who and who will become sovereign and who and who would stay together have you answered that question, who and who would have access to the sea and who and who shall be landlocked have you also answered that, if Nigeria were a country of 5 nations then division is simple, we are looking at at least 20 formal countries that once existed independently and then you think today they want to be in Biafra, Arewa or Oduduwa, lol that's the first bad sign

what are you talking about guy? Cause me no dey understand.

Good you don't understand so you shouldn't be discussing statehood until you understand

ObosiLandlord:
Ibadan and Fulani will fight? It seems you are high on Mkpurumiri

ObosiLandlord:
You're writing nonsense Okoro.

AlexBells:

Have they not always fought, I'm just giving you potential scenario where the Yorubas and Fulanis would fight for Ilorin but you want me to be literal

The people of Ilorin will choose. I'm sure they won't think twice before choosing Odua Republic. Majority of Ilorin indigenes see themselves as Yoruba.

The Itsekiris will be giving the option of joining through a referendum too.

There might be war in Igbo land, but Yoruba land will be peaceful and prospering.

The people of Ilorin would chose indeed, like the people of Donbass Region of Ukraine chose right, lol, Refendum by who lol, who is dragging Itsekiri with you

DMerciful:
This is modern era...stop using scare tactics to promote one Nigeria. Yugoslavia broke up to 8 countries without a shot being fired. Same with USSR.

With due process under UN, there'd be proper negotiations

AlexBells:

I heard USSR broke up without a single shot lol, why then is there war in Ukraine, lol in Zelensky's voice, why is there no silence in Dombas lol, the long term cost of Nigeria breakup would make Russia and Ukraine war look like a child's play, a starts of tribal arms race, alliance and confrontation.

Peaceful disintegration of Nigeria is not possible look at India and Pakistan, what's happening Oh, Yogoslavia lol, Nigeria was a formally war torn area of high contrast, Yorubas were fighting 16 years war, Benin/Igala war, Jihads targeted on smaller nationalities of middle belts and you think it would be Elderado, Lol what about Yorubas attempting to annex Benin, what about the Us Igbos in a potential fight with the Ijaws for Opobo and Bonny, lol the only thing keeping this region of Niger-Area from a brutal war in all side is the commonwealth of Nigeria

ObosiLandlord:
It seems you even think war is a child's play

You need lots of money, a strong economy and your logistics must be top notch to wage a full war. Where will the Fulanis get all the money to wage this war? Fulanis do not even share boader with Yorubas, they will need to pass through Nupe and some minorities territories in Abuja and Niger before they can get to Jebba.

Fulanis in Ilorin is not even up to 5% but you think Fulanis will take Ilorin? The joke is on you.

There is no Fulani land in Kwara, neither is there a Fulani land in Niger State. Ilorin is fully a Yoruba Land. Is non negotiable unless the indigenes of Ilorin feel they do not want to be part of the union. Only the indigenes of Ilorin can decide, not the Fulanis.
