This is the obvious answer, even before the war. Yet "Nigerians" who dont understand or know how that name (or Naira) came about are still busy being "Nigerians" lol.

And South South rep? Really?

Nonsense

You better think it over.

Some state would want none of those three: Edo, Benue, Plateau, Nassarawa and Kogi might decide to form their own republic, although Edo/Kogi might prefer to be part of an Odua Republic by another name, but they are not going to be part of Biafra/Arewa for sure.

In any case, it is not going to happen without some great calamity of war or event.

Actually I've thought it over, and frankly the states you mentioned can be divided by "Nigeria" whether they like it or not. And frankly, if there's going to be the obvious change, it's not going to be to carve microscopic "Nigerias" where there's no majority tongue or demographic and again more confusion.

Oh really, you want your freedom but you will ignore the concerns of the "new minorities". You 'll be surprised that even those other states that are not core Ibo a.k.a the South-South will opt out of Biafra.

This is really the main reason Nigeria cannot be divided. There are too many ways you can skin this cat, and the individual components will still behave like the original Nigeria.

The only way it is going to work out for Nigeria is to get together and practice true Federalism - with power massively concentrated at the state level.

Otherwise, this geographical expression called Nigeria will be transfered back to the 19th century and its many wars.

Another brainwashed Nigerian who lives abroad and thinks things should be done in Nigeria as it is done in these countries. Let me warn, never you mention France, US, Britain in any of these BLOOD SUCKERS OF BLACK RACE/AFRICAN PEOPLE  on this forums. That tells me the level of your thinking and inferiority complex you have. These same countries that literally violated Libya and against the progress of Africa.


Local champion, see your profile says Dallas abi? Well guess what, France, US, Britain, China, Japan, Tunisia, and even Ghana are better than Nigeria. Yep.

See how France and Britain have turned the language on Nairaland and Ivory Coast land (if that exist) into their own language. See how its there airlines that we fly all over the world on. See how our people line up in bars to watch Chelsea.

And guess what, they (Britain, U.S) give Black faces like you scholarship and financial aid to go to school when your schools are on strike, or is it transcript that you must bring n20,000 to get from UniLag?

Please do yourself a favor and forget that you have a miserable life.

Igbo do not need non igbos except by their will. An igbo country will do well with Igbos only.

What is your definition of "true federalism". We've heard that BS term over and over and the so-called founding fathers operated on a regional system, with equal rights as the central government.  All these so-called states are actually unconstitutional, illegal, and are one of the reasons why our country is in shambles. Kano state with less population gets more allocation than a more populous state like Lagos right? The Northwest has 7 states and the South East 5?

So, without a majority demographic, we should allow for the "NEW" minority,or else a state like Edo will "OPT" out? What if Ibanke that we hear doesnt want to be in Edo state wants to opt out of the Edo Republic?

The country would be an amalgamation of republics making it a confederate state with a prime minister not a president. Each region with it's own sovereignty.

Completley unreasltic given the situation on the ground now. Get PDP out then come back and talk cool cool.
