97% of the people are not indigenous to the US, they're immigrants.

They do not live in large groups per se. They're also sane people

ElSudani:
What exactly is an ethnic country? The US is probably the most diverse country in the world when it comes to different races living in the same space.

I agree. But I'm not part of the racism.

Kobojunkie:
Wrong!
You are racists!

We're same race so its tribalism. Tribalism is worse than racism

Kobojunkie:
Racism is what it is, pure and simple! The majority of Nigerians are nothing but racial bigots.

The United State is not an ethnic country. They dont do things base on tribalism. Our buggest albatross is tribalism

ElSudani:
Nigeria is not the first country to go through a rough patch. The great depression in the US is one for the history books and our situation in nowhere near that.
The boiling water exists only in your imagination.

Tinubu knows this and thats why he is deploying ronu people so they make it tribal but unfortunately for him, hunger is affecting everybody.

If he was frugal and truthful, he would have told Nigerians the truth and reduce govt officials renumeration by 50% but he doesn't have the integrity to do so.

If he is not careful, he make not even make it to 2027

MrEverest:
Nigeria is going to face even worse economic crisis in the days ahead. All the propaganda of how Dangote refinery is going to save us have proven to be false. Bandits are gaining more ground and farmers are all running away. Food inflation is also going to get worse. Exodus of companies have continued unabated. Fuel price continues to rise. Electricity too. Even the new minimum wage won’t be implemented effectively.

There is absolutely no way out for Tinubu and his administration. His faith appears sealed.

You're taking things for granted.

Keep behaving like the toad in boiling water

ElSudani:
How is this different from your position before the elections? The same position that was tossed into the dustbin by the Nigerian people by electing the Jagaban.

It can be negotiated easily

EmeeNaka:
Nigeria do not necessarily need to divide.
There is no good way to divide Nigeria now. It is going to be difficult.

Relax, jf we divide, in 30yrs, you'll have Abuja and Lagos allover.

You know this is not working but lack of courage is not allowing you to try something else.

Tellmeastory:
Very foolish, stupid, and ignorant thread.

It was your 'DIVISION' that allowed the Europeans to enslave and colonise you in the first place.

Now you want to revert to the same old ethnic isolation and sovereignty.

One guy said the ''3 tribes'' will do better if operating independently each on their own.

What about the other 300+ ''tribes'', or your mumu heads think only Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba exist in Nigeria?

When each ''tribe'' goes its own way, we will have 300 FUC.KING COUNTRIES where previously we had ONE.

An absolute recipe for CHAOS.

And if you say those 300 ethnic groups should join up with one or the other of the ''big 3'', we will simply have 3 new NIGERIAS, with one majority group lording it over the others.

Meaning Back to Square One.

SO QUIT WASTING YOUR TIME BY THINKING YOU CAN RUN AWAY FROM YOUR PROBLEMS BY ''DIVIDING NIGERIA''.

It will not happen. You MUST learn to live with one another in a large, multi-ethnic country.

The Mali Empire was around 6 times the size of Nigeria, and was multi-ethnic and multilingual.

And was very prosperous and successful for many centuries.

So multi-ethnic societies are not alien to Africa.

So forget about ''dividing Nigeria'', and go and hustle and make money like your mates and stop disturbing people.

The idea itself is so stupid at this point.

The country has invested billions of dollars in building Abuja, for instance.

With money/resources that came from other parts of the country.

So if Nigeria 'divides', who takes Abuja?

Your father?

Are you prepared to be DEPORTED from Abuja, Lagos, Kaduna, Kano, Jos etc?

Because if Nigeria 'divides', you will be stuck to YOUR neck of the woods.

You will not be allowed to settle in your millions outside your homeland, as is the case presently.

Are you prepared to become a FOREIGNER in Lagos?

A FOREIGNER in Abuja?

That any policeman can slap and detain, and demand your residency papers or visa?

Stupid, thoughtless idiots.

Sometimes I wonder what the fuc.k I'm doing on this forum.

Igbos have been pushing for Biafra which made you hate them but pretending here

igborilla:
Sharing nationality with igbos and ewusas foolanis make me sick.

Don't put barrier. Divide first and there'd be like 5yrs transition which is enough time to move to our various origin. Brexit happened without people moving first.

There has to be conviction that it will be done and the best way is to do it already

flokii:
Nigeria can't truly divide in the real sense of the word "divide" if certain groups aren't willing to return to their ancestral lands.

Nope! People of similar aspirations can be in same country. The core North does not want western education or drink beer so they are better off on their own with sharia and Islamic state.

Igbos gets Biafra, South South gets Lower Niger Republic and so on

MasterJayJay:
Myopic! Na only 3 ethnic groups dey for 9ja?

If you cut 1 yard of clothe(problem) into 50, you only end up with 50 pieces of clothes(problems).

Restructuring is like kicking the can down the road. Lets bite the bullet once and for all.

Separate to 5 countries. Arewa Republic,Biafra Republic, Middle Belt Republic, Odua Republic,
Lower Niger Republic. We can have a commonwealth of natiins for cooperation but 100% different countries

ElSudani:
If properly restructured. Nigeria can be a really successful country. We do have some knuckleheads like boko haram, Ip.ob.s etc but that is not enough to give up on Nigeria.

I am happy you have come to this understanding; something we have been saying for ages.

Look at those European countries,
less than 5 million people with per capital income of over $20,000/person so who does being the biggest population help?

How big is Sierra loene, Benin Republic, Togo, Liberia etc?

We have spent 64yrs for something that has not worked, lets abandon this sinking ship to our life boats

Omoawoke:
Look at those European countries, they work better because each to its own.
Denmark, Finland, Spain, Italy, Austria, France etc... The same people with same identity and language gather to form even smaller individual countries with fewrer populations.

West African countries were established to fulfill only one aim which is colonization, to divide and conquer.
Imagine a yoruba nation standing alone, igbo nation standing alone and Hausa nation standing alone.. We will work better individually and even as a team.

If you keep brothers in one house fighting and competing for the same resources, there won't be peace in that house and progress may be slow. But let each have their separate properties, they will work better and meet time to time in the family house for family meetings. They will have each others back better and work towards progress.

I hope someday Nigeria can divide! it will be for the greater good.

That is not Obi

Goodvibes007:
Mechionu. Real Oga na master relationship below.

He is not the one in house of rep, his elder brother is.

You guys just have this god complex for Tinubu. Lets see if SW votes will get him elected

manmade:
They threatened Obasanjo more than this but he showed them real politics at the eleven minutes,Atiku is still nursing the wounds from the political upper cut till date , Tinubu na political juggernaut , he no be Jonathan. I can bet 200k on it; that this boy is not coming back to house of representatives, cow and nunu won't save him from being voted out.

I have looked at all induces, there is no indication that shows Tinubu will even be able to restore Nigeria to how he met it. He has damaged his illegitimate presidency irreversibly

MrEverest:
The cloud has been gathering from day one and it’s indeed going to be a heavy downpour when the rain starts.

Contrary to those that claim how Tinubu is a great politician, dude is not. He just has access to massive funds to buy his way and fund propaganda, then added ethnoreligious bigotry into it. Anyone can do this.

If Tinubu was smart, he wouldn’t have ruined everything for himself, from day one!


While Tinubu’s online trolls are still believing that he is invincible, Tinubu himself & those close to him are beginning to see the clearer picture of the storm. You can easily see their desperations! Like a drowning man, Tinubu is clutching at every straw including signing Ministry of Lifestock, even before the Fulanis have ended their demand. But it’s a little too late for him.

The economy is in doldrums, there is mass starvation and frustration. Unfortunately, things are only going to get worse. Below is how events will play out and eventually end in Tinubu being disgraced out of office.

Do not reason like a zomb1e, Tinubu has failed irreversibly and nothing can even make him bring the country to how he met it. Check the indices, everything on continuous decline.

Why do you think he has not been able to negotiate minimum wage? No money!

Philipponzaghi:
Tinubu is a competent and experienced leader who will steer Nigeria in the right direction, unlike the misgovernance of PDP in the past.

Some people if we stay in Lagos, we're not allowed to vote. We shouldn't do this, we shouldn't do that even though they're guaranteed under the constitution

freshkpomo:

Are your governors not getting their allocations? What about your senators? When python came to dance did Igbo are Igbo people not in the military? So who are those now wanting you to pay homage to them?

Those parts has always been part of the eastern region before oil was discovered

aswani:
Without the courtesy of a referendum, you forcefully drafted Eastern minorities with you despite Biafra being an Ndigbo republic in all but name.

Witness the joy and happiness of those minorities when the Nigerian Army liberated their towns. It's all on YouTube.

If Ikemba had only taken igbo speaking areas, and left the "oyeli" part of the eastern region alone, I bet you there would have been no civil war.

Your questions are irrelevant because the court has ruled. You're a nobody!

helinues:
Dey play.

Na when ICC go release their own report?

A curfew was declared by the LASG as early as 4pm that day. Who were the people protesting at night after the curfew? Perhaps ghost

Ojukwu did not fire the first shot.

NaMe4:
You keep typing: ' Biafra left between 1967 - 1970 but you guys forced us back into Nigeria with celebrations'

Biafra left to where? And who forced you back?

Ojukwu was in Enugu, and declared Biafra in July 1967.

What was he and his ragtag army doing in the MidWest and Ore by August, just a few weeks later?

Did that look like the road to Biafra or part of Biafra?

What did he expect when he breached the territorial integrity of Nigeria by attacking the MidWest and Ore?

Oturugbeke

The end sars movement has been vindicated!

We have move on, that's why we're everywhere in Nigeria because we're Nigerians now.

However, some people want us to pay homage to them for staying in Nigeria. Not gonna happen!

freshkpomo:

Then stop holding other tribes responsible too for the actions of the Nigerian military men. Because you just made mention of you guys held Igbo back, meaning you have indirectly accused everyone other tribe for the actions of the Nigerian military.

Military officers of Igbo extraction is not the same as Igbo representatives. We cannot be held responsible for the actions of military men

freshkpomo:

Who were the first people to break away from Nigeria and who forced them back? Are those same people going about attacking tribes unjustly? Igbos were not the first to break away from Nigeria and it was an Igbo man that stopped those people from completely breaking away. So when Igbo speak of hate or anything, they are always the pioneer.

If Igbo take their 5 States trust me it will be easier for whoever want to join them to do so, look how bakassi case ended, so you Igbo not in the east can relocate like bakassi, him nor add.

See your mouth like Tinubu 8yrs. Yeye talk. The way its going, Tinubu might be remove before 4yrs if his performance continues to be abysmal

Which piper? Are they the ones generating the oil/gas revenue in the country?
The piper didn't play his/her musical instruments during the last administration?
Buhari completed he's 8 years. It's only the Obidients and other peace loving Nigerians that have the right to criticise Tinubu's government.
They should wait after 8 years.

I don't really care about protest but a rev....

helinues:
Subtly the nationwide protest una wan force is just like a black hole which una dare not get closer.

No long talk

He who pays the piper dictates the tune

9japride:
[color=#006600][/color]

No they don't. They didn't criticise Buhari then, so they shouldn't criticise Tinubu now.
