Politics / Should We Divide Nigeria Or Not? - Eze Chimere Nwauzo by Afrikahene: 6:29pm On Mar 08, 2021 |
Should we divide Nigeria or not? A lot of persons and groups have been clamoring for the disintegration of Nigeria. Giving reasons why we should dissolve Nigeria. Should we divide Nigeria or not? A lot of persons and groups have been clamoring for the end of Nigeria. Groups such as the Indigenous People of Biafra, Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, Odua People's Congress, Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta, Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People; personalities in the North and South of the Country like Nnamdi Kanu, Ango Abdullahi, Femi Kayode, Aisha Yesufu and millions of people who I cannot exhaust their names have called for a dissolution of Nigeria. Let us look into Nigeria critically to know whether Nigeria should or should not continue. Nigeria is a country in the western hemisphere of Afrika bordered by Niger in the North, Chad in the North East; the Benin Republic in the west; Cameroon in the East; and The Atlantic ocean in the South. Nigeria has over 250 ethnic groups most notably Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, Fulani, Ijaw, etc, and is the most populous country in Afrika. Nigeria came into existence on the 1st of Jan 1914 when British colonialist Frederick Lugard almagametd the Southern and Northern protectorates of Nigeria into one Nigeria. Nigeria got her independence on the 1st of October 1960 and became a republic on the 1st of October 1963. The name Nigeria came from the River Niger which is the most important River in Nigeria and all of West Africa. Nigeria has the largest population in Afrika with a population of about 209.5 million people according to Worldometer on March 2021 followed by Ethiopia at 116.8 million which makes Nigeria the single largest market in Afrika Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa by GDP size of about US $448 billion followed by South Africa at about US$374 billion. Nigeria is the 14th largest country in Africa by landmass with a landmass of about 923,768 km square. As stated earlier, many people and groups have been calling for the disintegration of Nigeria, now let us look into some of the Arguments for and against the disintegration of Nigeria For Disintegration 1. Colonial Country One of the arguments against the country Nigeria is that Nigeria came into existence as a result of colonization. That Nigeria was British-created and not created by Nigerians unlike America created by Americans, Britain by the British, and China by the Chinese. Nigeria factually was created by Britain through George Goldie and Frederick Lugard who colonized the areas that make up present-day Nigeria. Nigeria was never the idea of the leaders and people of the country called Nigeria. And there is no proof anywhere that God created Nigeria. This is because George Goldie and Frederick Lugard who created Nigeria never mentioned that God sent them to create Nigeria. Rather, the British government sent them to create Nigeria. And we know that the colonizers created all that they created for the interest of themselves as the colonizers. Those who support the disintegration of Nigeria insist that the history of the creation of Nigeria as a colonial concept is one of the reasons why Nigeria would never be great but continue to serve the interests of Britain. That if Nigeria was created by Nigerians they would have accepted Nigeria The argument goes further that Even the name Nigeria is not indigenous to any of the ethnic groups in Nigeria and no Nigerian named Nigeria but Flora Shaw girlfriend of Lugard gave Nigeria the name Nigeria. 2. Another argument against Nigeria is that Nigeria is a Failure, failed state sinking deep into retrogression instead of making progress. According to them, what is the essence of maintaining a country that keeps moving backward while other nations are moving forward? Nigeria despite being the 6th largest producer of oil in the world and the largest in Afrika, having less population than China and India which have population sizes of 1.44 and 1.38 billion respectively, Nigeria with 209.5 million people have more people living in extreme poverty than China and India and since 2018, economists have designated Nigeria as being the poverty capital of the world. Nigeria used to be the fastest-growing economy in Afrika, and the 3rd fastest in the world in 2014 and 2015, but since 2016 Nigerian economy has been on rapid retrogression, and by 2022 half of the country will be living in extreme poverty according to World Bank. So instead of moving forward, Nigeria has been running backward. This is a major reason many are ready to lay their lives to divide Nigeria. The most terrorized country in Africa since 2015, and the third most terrorized country in the world according to the Global Terrorism Index, and Institutes of Economics and Peace. In terms of corruption, Nigeria ranks badly with a score of 27/100 according to Transparency International Corruption Perception Index It is estimated that about $400bn was stolen from the national coffers, mainly by the country's military rulers, in its first four decades. (Bbc) Nigerian police rank among the worst in the world. According to the 2016 World Internal Security and Police Index (WISPI) and up till now, Nigeria has the worst police in the whole world. Nigeria ranks dismally at 152 out of 157 countries in the World Bank's Human Capital Index (HCI). Nigerian leadership ranks poorly with a good governance index score of 44.5/100 the 34th in Afrika according to the Mo Ibrahim index of governance report in Afrika 2020. In the 1980s one Naira was equal to a dollar, but in 2021, one dollar is equal to 470 nairas in the parallel market 60 years after independence Nigeria is still littered with bad roads, poor housing, suffering poor power supply, importing petrol, still full of poverty. 3. Ethnic crisis, Marginalization, Promotion in the army and civil service based in a region with the Northern region given first-class treatment while the South is a second class citizen Oil in the East belongs to Nigeria with Northerners controlling over 80% of the oil blocks in the South East of Nigeria while no single Southerners own gold mines in the North as gold is for the North alone. How about the attempts by the Nigerian government through cattle grazing bill 2016, Cattle colony 2018, Ruga 2019 Marginalization in power as the Northern region has produced 10 turns out of the 13 main administrators in the history of Nigeria. The civil war of 1966/67 and the continuous political-economic war against the Igbos and other Southerners Domination of the country by Fulani herdsmen who enjoy the protection of the government A different set of treatments to the south from that in the North Another war imminent as insecurity troubles Nigeria with Boko Haram and Fulani bandits etc. Are some of the many reasons why a substantial amount of people in Nigeria would end Nigeria in a second if they had the chance to. ON THE OTHER HAND, THOSE WHO ARGUE THAT NIGERIA SHOULD CONTINUE Argue that The large population of Nigeria is an advantage we should not lose in the name of disintegration. That the population of Nigeria would shrink and we would lose the largest market in Afrika in the division of Nigeria, and that we would lose the Largest economy in Afrika and an Afrikan Giant if Nigeria ceases to exist That the population diversity in Nigeria is not an issue, but we are united in diversity and that we need each other and cannot do without each other Giant of Afrika earned the nickname Giant of Afrika by founding the EcOWAs in 1975 together with Togo, and the peacekeeping efforts of Nigerian-led ECOMOG in Liberia in 1990 and Sierra Leone in 1997. Nigeria has over 50% of Ecowas population of about 405 million and over 65% of ECOWAS GDP of about $688 Billion. Even Nelson Mandela once pleaded that we should never divide Nigeria for any reason that Nigeria was the pride of Afrika but was very dissatisfied with Nigerian leaders. Answer Nig would have been the best if there was true unity and the evidence of true unity are the presence of justice, equity, fairness, cooperation, and other principles and characteristics of unity which are all missing in Nigeria. What is found in Nigeria is territorial unity which is why Nigerian leaders who suppress freedom movements only emphasize maintaining the territorial integrity of Nigeria but there is no unity between the people and groups that make up Nigeria and that goes right to the foundation of Nigeria which is colonialism. The British who created Nigeria never created a Nigeria that would be for Nigerians, but for the profitability of the British Empire which is why Nigeria is an offshoot of the Royal Niger Company which later metamorphosed into Southern Nigeria and then the amalgamation of North and Southern regions. The British never united the people and ethnic groups of Nigeria, instead they divided the people more but united the lands alone and created a system to preserve the disunity in Nigeria by taking away justice. In Lugard's own words: “The north and south are like oil and water – they cannot mix.” Bruce Harcourt who was secretary of states for the British colony wrote a memo. He argued that to save the situation and to retain the two places as our colony, we should merge the north and south as one country. In the merger we should make the north husband and make the south wife, I quote him. This is where injustice was rooted into the system of Nigeria that still troubles Nigeria today. A lot of groups are advocating for Nigeria to return to the 1963 constitution instead o the current 1999 constitution which is believed to be a problem, but Nigeria's problem did not begin in 1999, and if the 1963 Constitution is the panacea to the many problems with Nigeria, then how come Nigeria experienced her first coup in 1966 which led to the second coup 1966 and civil war 1967? Yet the 1963 constitution is working for Dubai, this is because UAE was formed by Arab leaders of the 6 out of the 7 emirates that make up UAE and later became made up of 7 emirates namely Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Fujairah, Sharjah, Dubai, Ras al-Khaimah and Umm al-Quwain in a willful agreement in the year 1971, unlike Nigeria which the British formed out of brutal force and a foundation of injustice and exploitation. The problem of Nigeria is beyond a constitutional amendment it is a foundational issue that affects every facet of the Nigerian way of life. The British united the lands of Nigeria but divided the people. The creator of Nigeria claimed that the North and South of Nigeria are oil and water which could never mix. Yet he formed Nigeria. This is to show that Nigeria was created to fail and not to excel. The statement that oil and water cannot mix is a fallacy which Lugard states to cement the divide between the North and south of Nigeria. He wanted the lands united but the people were divided and at war so they can never achieve anything. Oil and water have been mixing since time immemorial which is why we have soup and stew which cannot exist without the mixture of oil and water. In the right condition, oil and water will mix, but Nigeria has not been the right environment for oil and water to mix. The problem is not that the people of Nigeria cannot be united, the problem is the foundation of Nigeria. And according to the nationalist Chief Awolowo for instance defined Nigeria as in his book, Path to Nigerian Freedom, published in 1947 that Nigeria was a “mere geographical expression.” For context, he said “Nigeria is not a nation, it is a mere geographical expression. There are no “Nigerians” in the same sense as there are “English” or “Welsh” or “French”. Sir Ahmadu Bello refer to Nigeria as “the mistake of 1914”, Tafawa Balewa, who was the first Prime Minister had this to say, “Since the amalgamation of Southern and Northern provinces in 1914 Nigeria has existed as one country only on paper.” These are statements that those who are called the founding fathers of Nigeria made after studying the Nigerian entity carefully, but here are the people in Nigeria forcing it to work while it only becomes worse. The founding fathers of Nigeria are not Nigerians. The fathers of Nigeria are Sir George Goldie who in 1879 founded the United Afrikan Company which later became the Royal Niger Company in 1886 that the British government gave the right to create and colonize Nigeria and Frederick Lugard who militarily achieved the goal of the Royal Niger Company of the colony called Nigeria. Nnamdi Azikiwe and co were nationalists that got the physical independence of Nigeria, they were never the founding fathers of Nigeria since they never conceived Nigeria but only fought for her physical independence. Therefore Nigeria is lacking injustice, has a poor foundation that will keep creating more conflicts, there is retrogression rather than progression. What should we do? Nigeria will only work if the ethnic groups and people that makeup Nigeria come together and make an agreement that this based on the principles of unity which Is the presence of justice, equity, fairness where the resources of the north will not be used to develop the south and that of the south will not be used to develop the north, but every region will develop itself, where the same law that applies to the North, to the Muslim, applies the South and the Christian and to every ethnic group, where every person is treated equally before the law, where the institutions hold the leaders accountable and every corruption case is punished accordingly, where the Nigerian leaders and people and not the British decides what happens in Nigeria that as a result corruption in Nigeria does down, nepotism and tribalism end, and progress takes the place of poverty and piece takes the place of conflicts then let Nigeria continue But if the leaders, groups, and people of Nigeria cannot lay their selfish interests and shun injustice to build a just nation, cannot shun corruption to build a prosperous nation, cannot say no to neocolonialism to be free then let us all be courageous and dissolve Nigeria completely and form a true union by Afrikans and for Afrikans in the United States of Afrika because of the essence of Nations is the success of people and no nation is more important than her people.

Politics / Pres. Joe Biden: Afrikans Will Never Accept Homosexuality. Here Are Why by Afrikahene: 9:33pm On Feb 16, 2021 |
On February 4, 2021, President Joe Biden, you directed heads of US executive departments and agencies to invoke a range of punitive diplomatic actions, including financial sanctions and visa restrictions, on countries that ‘abuse’ the rights of LGBTQI+ persons. This is to let you know that we Afrikans do not and will never accept gay marriage and to let you know why. Homosexuality is not Natural As of 1993 Dean Hamer an American geneticist thought that there was a Gay gene responsible for making one gay, but a 2019 report by science aired by Time magazine concluded that there was no such thing as a Gay gene but that there were at least 5 gene variations that could affect a person’s sexual behavior which is temporary and not sexual orientation which is permanent. The study says that of a these 5 genes variations could only affect only 8% and at most 25% of a person's sexual behaviour while the environment affects the remaining 92 to 75% of an individual's sexual behavior. If a gay man shares the same room with a straight man with a pure gene not affected by any of the 5 gene variations the gay man can seduce the straightman into gay se, on the other hand if a gay man or woman no matter his her gene makeup, subjects him or herself into a series of straightening sexual therapy, that individual no matter his genetic makeup would become sexually straight. This concludes though not completely that sexual behaviour not to talk of sexual orientation is more environmental than genetic. Also, religiously, the Bible in the books of Genesis and Roman in the old and new testaments condemned homosexuality in strong terms as a reason for the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and as a curse. The story was also repeated in the Quran in Surah 54 the Al Kamaa. Some pro gay preachers claim that Afrikan culture endorses homosexuality, but in Afrikan culture women do marry women but that is only barren women pay lobola on behalf of their husbands to marry new wives to give birth on their behalf as we also saw in the bible in the book of Genesis where the wives of Jacob Leah and Rachel married their hand maids on behalf of themselves to give birth to children fr theirhusbands in their own account. The women would never have sex with their fellow women which is a taboo in Afrika and Jewish culture. These are some of the reasons why our position in Afrika is gay conversion therapy and not gay marriage as a social norm and banned in Nigeria, Zambia, Uganda and a host of other states in Afrika. As of the year 2015, homosexuality was outlawed in 34 out of 54 countries in Afrika and you have seen why. If you want the best for Afrika, then give to Afrika what Afrikans need and not want you think they want 1. Help in the decolonization of Afrika in the following ways: Pressurise the AU and Afrikan Heads of States to conduct referenda in Afrika to reconstruct Afrikan states according to the wishes of the Afrikan people. Stop France from collecting colonial taxes from Afrikan states. 3. Push for European nations to indemnify Afrika for extracting the wealth of Afrika for 500 years. Europe and America are enjoying 500 years of Afrikan labor which is why Europe and America look like paradise on earth while Afrika is trying hard to recover her lost centuries. Also pay Afrikan Americans reparations in cash and in kind by paying trillions of dollars reparations and ending every systemic racism so that indeed America would be a country where Black Lives Matter. 4. Help Afrika fight terror groups such as Boko Haram, Alshabab, Fulani Herdsmen in Nigeria etc 4. Sanction bad leaders who stay in office for the sake of power, who kill their people. 5. Give Afrika visa-free policy It is estimated that over 25 million ex-pats from the sub-Saharan region remitted a total of USD 46 billion in 2018 while FDI was $32b. According to Pewresearch.org, Worldwide, immigrants sent a record $625 billion (in 2018 U.S. dollars) back to their home countries in 2017 Since 2009, Nigeria has received more than half of all remittances sent each year to Inner Afrika, by far the largest share of any country in the region. In 2017, a record $22 billion in remittances flowed to Nigeria, which has 54% of the region’s share of remittances because most Nigerians who are abroad are in US and UK. In 2018, migrant remittances to Nigeria eqaled US$25 billion, representing 6.1% of GDP which was 83% of the Federal Government budget in 2018 and 12 times the 2 billion in Foreign Direct Investment into Nigeria in the same period. Remittances account for 34.4% pf South Sudan GDP and 21.3% of Lesotho GDP This shows how reliant most Afrikan states are on remittances and an open visa policy would help in increasing remittances into Afrika. These are some of the needs that Afrika expect from US and which we would appreciate. Watch as Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOWzRHUPFLk |

Nigeria has been the most terrorized country in Afrika since at least 2015 according to the Global Terrorism Index and has been ranking bad even before then. In fact, according to the Institute of Economics and Peace based in Australia, and the Global Terrorism Index, Nigeria was the third terrorized country in the world in 2018 and most terrorized country in Afrika ahead of Somalia, Egypt, Dr. Kongo, and even the war-torn Libya and till 2020 the ranking remains the same. According to a report by Africanews.com drawn from a report by the Global Terrorism index Terrorist activity in Nigeria is dominated by two groups: Boko Haram and Fulani extremists. THE BOKO HARAM CRISIS The Boko Haram insurgency began as a result of the teachings of an Islamic teacher and sect leader by the name of Mohammed Yusuf who taught his followers that modern Education is Haram (forbidden) whereby they got the name Boko Haram whereas the original name of the sect is Jamāʿat Ahl al-Sunnah li-l-Daʿawah wa al-Jihād (Arabic: “People Committed to the Prophet's Teachings for Propagation and Jihad”) But on the 30th of July 2009, the Nigerian military summarily executed Yusuf. following the killing of Yusuf in the year 2009, a new leader emerged in the organization by the name of Abubakar Shekau, and by 2010 the ragtag organization became the first formidable terrorist group in Nigeria and has killed hundreds of thousands of people, destroyed thousands of mosques and churches and rendered millions of nation homeless in the North East of Nigeria and has affected neighboring Afrikan states like Chad, Cameroon. In 2014, Boko Haram overtook the Islamic State ISIS to become the most deadly terrorist organization in the world. On the 7th of March 2015, Boko Haram pledged allegiance to ISIS. In December same 2015 the Nigerian presidency declared Boko Haram technically defeated yet the end of Boko Haram is nowhere in sight as the organization has embedded herself well into attacking military formations and recruiting heavily. FULANI MILITIA The Fulani militia attacks in Nigeria have been happening for decades and even centuries but have worsened in the past 10 years. In several villages and cities in Nigeria, the Fulani Herdsmen as they are known have killed hundreds of thousands of people in their farms, schools, forests; while they are awake and mostly while they sleep at the dead of the nite. The media keeps reporting it as farmers-herders clash, but no clashes are going on, but acts of terrorism by these herders. Examples of genocide carried out by these terror herders is the Agatu massacre which occurred between February and March 2016 in Agatu, Benue State Nigeria where Fulani Hersamen murdered over 500 villagers without any single arrest of the terrorists till today. Nimbo massacre April 25, 2016, the armed herdsmen numbering over 500 struck killing 40 people. Later on Mohammadu Zurai a Fulani man and other suspects were arrested and they confessed that over 100 Fulani men in connivance with Fulani leaders attacked 5 Fulani men they alleged were murdered without justice. The Fulani militia just like the Sudan Arab supporter of APC has killed even more than Boko Haram. According to CNN in 2019, the Fulani militia had already been said to 6x more deadly than Boko Haram. But why the whole world talks about Boko Haram, they feel it is ethnic profiling to talk about the Fulani militia just as we kept quiet while the supporter of APC murdered Afrikans in Sudan. Every single day in all parts of Nigeria the killings by Fulani militia have caused villagers to flee their villages while these terrorist takeover their farmlands. These herdsmen who are not actually on agricultural missions but missions of conquest have been destroying hectares of farmlands and feeding their cattle with crops in people's farms. Nigerian Govt The Nigeria government has through policies such as the National Grazing Bill 2016, cattle colony in 2018 and RUGA 2019 attempted to take lands from indigenous people of Nigeria to hand them over to the Fulani herdsmen. The Nigerian government also on 4th of July 2018, the Nigerian Presidency asked Nigerians to either surrender their lands to the terrorists or be killed and has refused to arrest these terrorists but instead arrests those confront or kill them or their cows in self-defense. Also, on 13th January 2018 a Fulani group known as the Fulani National Movement vowed to invite Fulani from all Afrika to invade Nigeria if the cattle colony in Nigeria failed, they also claimed responsibility for Fulani attacks in Nigeria, Miyetti Allah the main sociocultural organization of the Fulani has also been shielding the killer herdsmen from prosecution and in 2018 claimed responsibility for an attack that claimed over 100 lives in Plateau state Nigeria. The incessant killings and kidnapping by the Fulani elements and the affirmative body language of the Nigerian government have forced ethnic groups in Nigeria to be wise to opt for self-defense which is the only means of survival which is why there is now the Eastern Security Network founded and led by the Prime Advocate of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Eastern Nigeria to secure the Eastern Nigeria from the invading herders who are bent on colonizing the East, while in the western part of Nigeria is the Amotekun one Sunday Igboho chasing the herders from areas where they are terrorizing the indigenous people. Recommendations The AU should intervene immediately The Afrikan Union should intervene in this issue of herdsmen invasion in Nigeria before it leads to a civil war in Nigeria where every Fulani man would be considered a terrorist. There are at least 5 ways to respond to conflict: conflict prevention, conflict management, conflict resolution, conflict suppression, and conflict transformation. The best of all these is of course conflict prevention which is better than cure. There is already conflict in Nigeria at its latent stage about to become an open conflict should the Afrikan Union fail to respond immediately and decisively to the right thing. Amnesty Is Not The Solution A popular Islamic Sheik Abubakar Gumi met the Fulani bandits this year and spoke with them and is asking the government to grant them amnesty, while a Fulani governor El Rufai replied that that was a waste of time, that the Fulani bandits would never turn away from banditry. Declare Fulani Militia a Terrorist Organization The Afrikan Union should declare the Fulani militia a terrorist group and haunt them to their graves. Open grazing should become a crime. It is a natural law that you do not enter another person's property uninvited. Pastoralists should Buy Lands for Their Ranches The other Fulani pastoralists should use their money to buy lands and create cattle ranches. The AU should mandate the Miyetti Allah to account for all the crimes that Fulani committed and compensate all those who were affected. Mandate a Referendum in Nigeria The AU should also mandate a referendum in Nigeria to determine the continuation of the British-created state of Nigeria which many groups are working tirelessly to pull out from so we can have a peaceful separation rather than an explosion of Nigeria. Warning Alarm Failure to prevent the impending doom in Nigeria, the Afrikan Union should start constructing enough refugee camps for tens of millions of people from Nigeria that is no gainsaying is the most populous country in Afrika. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSAYWmq1VA4 |
