Either you nor Burna is making sense sir because Nigeria is not the only multi tribal country that was joined together by the British. The US was also joined together by the British even China, India and South Africa were all multi racial and tribal countries and they are doing well.
Citizens blaming the Brit for our failure is a country is just a reflection of our irresponsibility that contributed to our failure.
The problem of Nigeria is greed and that begins from each citizens down to the government, just imagine how every retailers are using inflation as an opportunity to exthort buyers. Bottom line most of us Nigerians are as
good as our bad leaders. Even Burna how significantly has he used his wealth to help his community, just take a look at how Sadio Mane has single handedly transform his community.
Just because it's coming out of a celeb doesn't mean that it makes sense

Elites ke? I have Sudanese friends here and none of them have ever suggested the Elites played any part in the splitting of their country. You are the first person who has ever offered up such an explanation. You are free to hold that opinion though.

U are a stupid fool, I blame lugard for joining me with a fool like you. Who said fuel subside is gone on his first day in office without planning , is it the State governors (no). Who made some bad economics policies causing dollars rise against naira, is it the State governors (no). Who devalue naira, is it the State governors (no). Who increased tax in every area, even custom duty of 40 fit container is 20 million naira, is it the State governors (no). The president is the commander chief of Army forces but there is insecurity, kidnapping, killing everywhere. There is corruption everywhere but the president promised to kill corruption but he increase rate of corruption. So think very well before you open ur rubbish mouth to talk

Kobojunkieee:
No point dragging this issue further than we already have. The fact is some people wish for separation; the current president happens to be one of them and yes, countries can and do break up for different reasons. We recently saw Sudan do it less than 20 years ago. So, it would be daft/unintelligent to conclude without concrete evidence that it can never happen in the Nigerian case.

Kobojunkieee:
They are not miscreants but Nigerians. You may not agree with their views but they are Nigerians and their views matter just as yours does. Even the views of the Arewa groups up north equally matter.

2. The number that was on the streets in Kano alone was more than that. Let's try to be honest abeg! All of Kano combined was well over 100,000 during the protests, and there is video from many of the different locations to show this. So why do you somehow feel that diminishing the facts would somehow make the issue go away?

3. It was not a discussion but a sort of tradition back then. To this day, we have those who clamor for Yoruba Nation. Even the man who is president today — Tinubu — is on record confessing, back in 1999, that he too did not believe in one Nigeria. Do you think that has changed? When he was asked about it before his election, he said it could wait until after he has had his turn So, I am not certain why you feel that everyone must see this the way you do or else be tagged irrelevant. There are real voices, recognized in all regions, calling for the breaking of Nigeria. Ignoring them will not make them go away.

Kobojunkieee:
You aren't listening to them or you haven't been paying attention at all, it seems!

Many on the streets, particularly the older crowd, have dreamed of this break-up. Growing up in Ikorodu in the 80s, many believed it was sure to happen. Ikorodu is not in the SE. During the recent protests, we saw people raising flags of another country while trampling the Nigerian flag. Now, more than ever, many in all regions are pretty much sure a breakup is coming. So, this isn't one region trying to break things up but people in all regions clamoring for a break-up!

Kobojunkieee:
I am not concerned about any of those things at all. And I suspect a lot of Nigerians clamoring for division are equally not concerned either. All that you point out are just meaningless ideas to the average man on the streets of Nigeria hoping the hell that is Nigeria will come to an end. Such things only matter to those who are enjoying life and country something the vast majority of Nigerians can only dream of. So, even if peace and prosperity can be found in a tiny nation, many will take that instead of all of the big dreams you seem lured by.

Kobojunkieee:
I wouldn't write it off because we have yet to try that at all.

opamoses1:
He is right. Nigeria is supposed to be at least 20 different countries if divided along ethnic lines.

kanupapilo:
True...tribalism was worse under regional government.

Kobojunkieee:
Exactly! I have said it several times, if indeed dividing Nigeria up is the way to resolve the problem then the country would need to be divided up into a region for each ethnic group to make that happen. 🤔

Kobojunkieee:
It was!

Look at the States today for an example of what to expect if Nigerians were to back regional rule. In many states, as it is, ethnic tribes are mostly left out of government. In Abia State, for example, the majority group in the state are the Ngwa people found in nine local government areas of Abia State, namely: Obingwa, Osisioma Ngwa, Isiala Ngwa North, Isiala Ngwa South, Aba North, Ugwunagbo, Aba South, Ukwa East and Ukwa West. Most of the governors in the state since 1999 have been from that one group and the minority people in the same state are not happy about it at all. But they at least have a chance to get one of their own into the State and National Assembly as well as the House of Representatives. So, what do they have to gain from a regional governmental system?

Kobojunkieee:
1. It is no secret that the average Nigerian is not civically educated. This problem stems from a dilapidated and destroyed Educational system that is barely funded at all levels of government.

2. I agree with you that all arms of Government should be to blame for the problem — the LG, State Governors, and the FG. Not just one.

Kobojunkieee:
I have to disagree with you there. The problem is instead the people. Democracy is the government of the people by the people, after all. Rather than take the helm — sit tightly in the driver's seat of their government —, for the last 25 years, Nigerians have instead occupied a docile seat in the union leaving the goats — their elected officials — to roam free and without a necessary leash. The corruption and decay we see today are the result of that docility. The British had nothing to do with all of that.

Kobojunkieee:
Nonsense talk really! You don't hear South Africa and Zambia crying, do you? They were all amalgamations formed by the British. Nigeria's problem isn't the British but division amongst the people sponsored by the political class who employ a divide-and-conquer approach to ruling over them.

AmalaAtiEwedu:
More watery beans for him

Cindypresh:
Did tinubu forfeit $450,000 drug money to the US government or not??

omoyankee3:
Nigeria has gone back to Abacha era

Cindypresh:
Tinubu is a Chicago bound drug baron who forfeited $450,000 heroine money to US government.

That's a fact, you can't change it with the absurd lies you tell yourself

TheGift:
Another Tribalist spotted.

Very primordial, asinine dim-witted, fatuous, feeble-minded, imbecilic, inane, ludicrous, moronic and simple-minded way of thinking

Falseprofet2:
Nigeria. Damn
Can't find bandits but quick to nab journalists

Cindypresh:
.

There'll be life after Apc/Tinubu and it will never be funny for you all.

You'll regret the day you defend a drug baron

opamoses1:
That's what Nnamdi Kanu told the world.
