This is not a major news online in Ghana, it a blog where diabolical people like you peddle lies... Such news must be carried by all radio and tv station and major news paper in Ghana.....

Though I do not doubt about Nigerians committing crime in Ghana, but I doubt the authenticity of this diabolical news...

Fremancipation:
We keep telling them that Nigeria is over and only exist on paper but their childlike fantasy mind and ostrich mentality won't let them see the reality in front of them. They rather scream anti-Biafran propaganda day and night as if it will magically solve Nigeria's problems.

Terkimbi01:
What is your suggested solution to cure Nigeria from her deadly deceases?

How can we live together with people are bent on wiping us out?
Just come to Benue state and see things for yourself.

I am glad a Yoruba wrote it.

If an Igbo wrote this, this thread would be 10 pages by now.

We have witnessed the independence of Slovenia from the former Yugoslavia, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the division of the former Czechoslovakia, and the separation of both Eritrea from Ethiopia and South Sudan from Sudan.

Numerous of successful secessions have allowed people greater freedom and self-determination: Greek independence from the Ottoman Empire, the Hungarian split with the Soviet Union in 1989, Singapore's secession from Malaysia in 1965, Ireland's independence from the UK, and countless others.

Nigeria's impotence as ungovernable, divided, separate, hostile, and unequal nation is apparent for all to see. Nigeria, as we know it, is dead! The country is irrevocably broken along ethnic, linguistic, geographical, religious, and cultural lines. The sooner the Nigerian people accept this, the sooner the break-up and the sooner we can move on.

From time to time, the break-up of Nigeria becomes inevitable to many of us who believe that “In the course of human events, it is necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them.” We're in one of those periods now, and while the reasons are unique, the historical moment is not new. In 1953, the northerners considered secession from the Nigerian colony that would soon be an independent nation. 

The words of our founding fathers that Nigeria is not one country remain prophetically instructive. 

Listen to them: 

“Nigeria is not a nation. It is mere geographical expression. There are no ‘Nigerians’ in the same sense as there are ‘English,’ ‘Welsh,’ or ‘French.’  The word ‘Nigerian’ is merely a distinctive appellation to distinguish those who live within the boundaries of Nigeria and those who do not,” Chief Obafemi Awolowo said in 1947. 

“Since 1914 the British government has been trying to make Nigeria into one country,” Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa said, “but the Nigerian people themselves are historically different in their backgrounds, in their religious beliefs and customs, and do not show themselves any signs of willingness to unite... Nigerian unity is only a British invention.” 

Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe argued in 1964 that “It is better for us and many admirers abroad that we [Nigeria] should disintegrate in peace and not in pieces. Should the politicians fail to heed this warning, then I will venture the prediction that the experience of the Democratic Republic of the Congo will be child's play if ever it comes to our turn to play such a tragic role.” 

The recent proclamation of northern youths and the ultimatum given to Igbo people to vacate the north within three months shed much needed light on why Nigeria is not, and will never be, one united nation. There is no mystery as to how we got to this point. There is also no mystery as to who to blame. There is no need for conspiracy theories. The polarization of public life exacerbated by government corruption and incompetence has become so tense it led to widespread civil disorder, culminating in chaos and crises.

Nigeria is fast approaching a complete collapse. For long, many of us have raised alarm that our government and the way the system is being run are not working, and cannot guarantee delivery of basic essential services. The ominous declaration of the northern youths has left Nigerians in fear of what tomorrow may bring. While all this plays out, Nigerians watch in horror and amazement from the sidelines and wonder when the inevitable will occur.

Inequality between the looting ruling class and the poor has become increasingly intolerable. The native tyrants in the National Assembly, better still, National Asylum, are in stupor of random pleasures and whims, feasting on plenty of food and sex, and reveling in the non-judgment that democracy is civil religion. From all indications, our democracy is in retreat, close to being destroyed by vast corruption, ineptitude, incompetence, and fraud. Those in Abuja couldn't care less about our people. They couldn't care less that for 58 years we couldn't get along.  They couldn't care less that Nigeria is as good as dead. Nigerians are angry – Igbos, Hausas, and Yorubas. They are all angry for being sick and poor and tired of being cannon fodders. They are tired of being jobless and hopeless. Brother is turning against brother. Killing of families and children are the norm rather than the exception. Nigerians are nickel-and-dimed to death in their everyday life. Workers, if paid at all, are paid peonage wages. The nation's peonage wage is at subsistence level. This is simply incompatible with self-determination.

With subsistence living, Nigerians are constrained into a desperate state. Their horizon is limited to the present day, to getting enough of what they need to make it to the next. The minimum wage in Nigeria is N18,000 per month. This is criminally below the poverty line. That's a scrambling, anxious existence, narrowly bounded. It's impossible to decently feed, clothe, and shelter yourself on a wage like that, much less a family, much less have money to see the doctor,  or pay for your kids college, or participate in any of those good things of life. Down to the peon level, the pursuit of happiness sounds like a bad joke.

The critical mass of our people is kept in peonage. All its vitality spent in the trenches of day-to-day survival with scant or no opportunity to develop the full range of its faculties. That's why I'm miffed by the numbed-out, dumbed-down, make belief Nigerians who still believe that Nigeria could be saved from falling apart. This is deceptive and uncharitable given our past political history and the present political realities of our nation. Those who see future or unity in one Nigeria are deluded, ignorant, unrealistic. They don't know what's real, what's possible, and can't differentiate fact from fiction.

How can the proponents of one Nigeria explain the humiliation and insult heaped on Vice President Osinbajo when the Chief of Thief Abba Kyari referred to him as “Coordinator of National Affairs” instead of Vice President? The freest and fairest presidential election in our history was won by MKO Abiola. The election was annulled by a northerner. He was robbed of the presidency and he was killed.  If Osinbajo and Abiola were Hausas, nothing of such would have happened to them. Examples of such second class treatment abound. We need not bury our heads in the sand like the proverbial ostrich as if all is well with a troubled and traumatized nation suffering from history of division and disunity.

Nigeria is a country divided against itself and cannot stand. Nigeria is virtually bankrupt. The clamor for separation is the manifestation of a nation grounded as it were, without hope of moving forward after 58 years. I believe it's too late to save Nigeria from disintegration. Our union for the past 58 years has produced no peace, no progress, and no prosperity for the poor majority. The only beneficiaries and the loudest advocates of one Nigeria are those profiteers from the miseries of the pulverized poor – the ruling class.

Let's dash them back to Cameroon then.

@sukkot take a look at this excerpt from this book Growth Of African Civilisation: A History Of West Africa 1000-1800 AD by Basil Davidson(I will quote pages 219&220): (P.219) All these city-states of the Delta...grew prosperous on the Atlantic trade in slaves...another reason for their prosperity lay in the abundance of population that seems to have been present in the lands behind the Delta. This density of the population helped to feed the trade in captives (next page,still on the same subject P.220) Where did these slaves really come from? An English captain who wrote about Bonny,for long the biggest of the Delta states,described it as 'the wholesale market for slaves,since no fewer than 20,000 are sold here every year. Of these 16,000 come from one nation,called the Ibos(this part was gotten from Captain John Adams book that was written between 1786 and 1800). So,what does this tell you,sir? Honest opinion.

Nossa:
A referendum is holding us back, the federal government should set a date for a referendum to be drawn and see if we'll spend an extra day in the zoo after the referendum

greatermax77:
Op, I am sorry for you.
keep coming up with more & more opinion. Igbos have taken a stand
Biafra or nothing else.
Most Igbo investors have made the money they invested thrice & even more
The will abandon empty building for your people.
withing a year, they must build a better one in the east.
Keep cooling yourself with silly opinion

kingzizzy:
The only thing holding us is for you Nigerians to agree on the date of the declaration of Biafra so that we Biafrans can go home

kingzizzy:
The Biafrans are saying the want to go, another major section of the country comes out and says that they support Biafra going. When Nigerians start helping the agitation by saying they support Biafran independence, the job is almost done.

kingzizzy:
The 'Kaduna declaration' has helped IPOB so much. For the first time, the international community are not just hearing the Biafrans say the want their own country, theu are now hearing other people supporting that Biafrans should get their own country.

It is now clear to all Nigerians and the international community that there nothing like 'one Nigeria'
