You need to understand that Nigeria is a country formed not on the terms of its people, or because the people came together to agree to be one country, but for the administrative convenience of the British colonial government.
It hasn't managed to evolve into a nation ever since, most likely never will.

And as it stands, the divergent and irreconcilable worldviews of the peoples who make of the country seem poised to set it aflame.
Yet, every attempt to read just it into a country or a nation as it were, has been resisted by vested interests. It's basically a country held together by oil and nothing much more.

True, and thats why the future of Nigeria is disintegration. The Igbo nation must be an independent country

Yes and good..but they practiced true federalism then.

The Aguiyi Ironsi abolished regionalism,that's what I hear,I don't know how true but it was a mistake. Greatest mistake was 1914/lord Lugard.
Imagine,amalgamation on a world war year!!!
Reason why the country is a kwantiri grin
