The idea of having a near-perfect country out of a ruptured Nigeria is illusory. The composite parts of the country each contribute to the miasma of confusion that Nigeria is. [b]No single entity is responsible for Nigeria’s problems. All the ethnic nationalities are equal shareholders in the failing of the Nigerian enterprise. There is enough blame to go around.[/b]Nor should we all die like chicken just becos we want to make Nigeria work .life first Oga.




So, what will change if, for example, there is a south-east state as some are campaigning for? Will the present social order be inverted? Will the internecine hate and wrangling dissipate? Well, for sure I think the current revulsion that some have for the entity ‘’Nigeria’’ will be reserved for the emergent state. Elite corruption and abuse will still dominate the polity because the new order will be from the same predatory gene-pool. Non-ethnic predation will give way for ethnic predation because at the end of day class struggle is not resolved by the unity of language, religion or culture.


As of 2019, 400,000 citizens have been killed in the South-Sudan crisis. Four million refugees created and 1.8 million people internally displaced. The cause of these tragedies boils down to power struggle among the elite who quickly mobilised themselves behind the emergent state to capture power. A country fabled to be a lodestar in Africa and which was to be a compelling argument for splintering ‘’artificially created’’ states on the continent is now a functional example of why breaking up countries in Africa is not expedient.

An often parroted argument for Nigeria’s dissolution is that the country is an inorganic fabrication of the British. Lies, It is nearly impossible to find a homogenous country. The problem with Nigeria, as we all know, is that we are yet to have a people’s leadership or as Chinua Achebe puts it, a leader “humbled by the trust placed on him by the people’’ and ‘’willing to use the power given to him for the good of the people’’.

We are stronger together. This is not a platitude but a fact. 90 percent of wealth of the Igbo is not warehoused in the south-east. The Igbo are a peripatetic people gifted with extraordinary entrepreneurial abilities. They are among the most financially fortunate Nigerians. Nigeria and beyond are their trading arcade. They are in every nook, cranny and crevices in the country. It is unarguable that a united Nigeria is a more viable emporium for the Igbo than a fragmented Nigeria. It will not be the same for the business-minded Igbo with new states emerging from the wreck of Nigeria – the emergent states will certainly want to put up hedges that will protect their own people against outsiders. Where does that leave Chukwuma who has billions of naira worth of investments doting the south-west?

The south-west as well cannot subsist as an island. It needs the commerce of the Igbo, the endowments of the north, and rich cultural and material resources of other groups to blossom. We need each other.

Our diversity should count for something. It should be our strength. We will be the biggest losers if the Nigerian enterprise is liquidated. We must make Nigeria work.

Having been following the trend of things in the Southwest, it sets unholy precedence that against the backdrop of the unabated pogrom against peaceful northerners, whose legitimate businesses in the southwest threatens the lives and properties of NO ONE, tinubu chose silence over coming out to condemn this treacherous acts of his people. I want to put this across to you readers that not only has the yoruba lost the 2023 presidency before the election even began, but we also will not forget the day you chose to stab us in the back, those who have always been your backbone.

Logan23:
SS is not a tribe.

Speak for ur tribe alone, igbos in SS will speak for themselves as well

DonKuti:
With all this recent happens in the country, it's no longer an hidden fact that the peaceful coexistence and one Nigeria claims is being highly threatened and it seems even the government doesn't care about the security challenges now posing in the country with constant rise in crimes such as Banditry, Herders, BK, raping, stealing e.t.c

It obvious this country has no future, it's high time we slipt North to and for Notherners and South to and for Southerns. I won't mind to see an Amazing, beautiful, blessed country like southern Nigeria where everything works for everybody. no region would dragging the rest regions or tribes backward but every side thinks of positivity with a resound and responsible government making good policy's at the center would be more interesting than all this Ododuwa Republic, Nigeria Delta Republic and Biafra.

I don't support Biafra, Oduduwa and Niger Delta Republic I stand for a peaceful Southern Nigeria as a country.

Igbo's and Yoruba's agitators, socio political and political leaders reason! South South has no problem.

Akanbiedu:
This is ethnic fight ooo, and don't forget its not enlightened people that fight this kind of fight. Mostly hoodlums who have no real religion.

A word is enough for the wise.

Another thing. Nigerian police does not have the capacity to forestall widespread madness, so be wise.

yanabasee:
South-South will be a flop.....


The security outfit will employ mostly cult boys that are basically thieves and will sell out info to their gangs....



I like the Amotekun because it is traditional and is fitting into the culture of it's region.

Samson0599:
Lol who told you that, Dem dey kill even their wife wey no be Hausa when e get hot...

IamAtikulate:
We no be peaceful hausas. If una try that madness una did with Hausas with Igbos, we will burn down SW and una brother for east go still collect.

GBOKASINCHA:
Na yoruba muslims i pity pass .... cos na dem dey live for the same settlement with hausa fulanis....dem go soon begin run go sabon gari make igbos protect them

backnbeta:
You bastard*s should stop killing farmers in the SW

santopelele:
Yoruba man and coward, I can't actually believe that an hausa man that has no strength can beat and even kill a Yoruba man during a fight in his own land, na only chest beating Yoruba Sabi do. they are not even ashame to be killing hausa people because an hausa man defeat their coward brother

Misterdhee1:
Ode, how has your life been since hausas have been presidents? Your region is still locked in backwardness despite years of presidency. BTW, pray Nigeria even exists beyond 2023. Yorubas have been the one playing ostrich to the wishes of southern Nigeria to disintegrate the country. Try shit, and watch everyone go their way finally. It won't be game as usual.

Alba3:
Mola, 1million Yoruba presidents are not up to 1 Yoruba man's life being taken. What were our benefits with Obasanjo's presidency?

You kill in bushes and in town you killed a pregnant woman and a man without provocation, you're talking about presidency? You can eat your presidency and rule yourselves forever. We'll also choose our own leaders.

You're simply looking for war and division and that's what you will get...

Start your war with the South west, you'll receive the shocking of your lives; if you think you have single support anywhere in the country, you're deceiving yourselves. Moreover, Boko Haram and Bandits are waiting in the corner to take over the north once the country fulani army engage the South. The southern people in the military will wake up from their captivities and there will be Independence for southern nations and willing middle belt.

The earlier we reform the country the better.

Bola146:
Send them to jail! We wouldn't hear anything after this Order from above

NewDelhi:
Serves them right. Those girls are among the real enemies of this country.

Tranquillity360:
Remove other tribe for this matter.


We are talking about how you yorubas are killing innocent hausa.
Let see how a yoruba man will be president in 2023.



za mu gani,mugaye

Arewa1stSon:
You see how these people reason?? What's different between the educated ones among them and the bloody illiterate hoodlums killing innocent people on the street of ibadan??

So because a particular Hausa man somewhere had a fight with a Yoruba man... And end up beating the hell out of the Yoruba man which result to his death.

You now Carry arms... Going round and killing any Hausa man you come across... Burning their means of livehood.

You are even justifying this Barbaric act??

You are justifying the killing of innocent Hausas who don't even know that there's a Yoruba man fighting a Hausa man!!

This is the end of it.... Even the so called educated folks in the west feels its OK to attack northerners because a Yoruba man died while fighting a Hausa man.

OK ooo

thebosstrevor1:
Online media are spreading lot of FAKENEWS and disinformation while inciting violence.

Most of the stories about herdmen are FAKENEWS.

Most crimes are done by indigenes but then they look for scapegoats to put the blame on .

soundOsonic:
This is the Igbo centrism we are talking about. Igbo don't need Niger delta, Naira delta need the Igbos?.
If Biafra comes, this statement clearly shows how ego centric most Igbos are. You are not the first I have heard this from, neither are you the second.
But seriously Niger Delta is just an end to a means.
Igbos and the Hausas are just to end of thesame coin. The reason why they are at each other's neck is because they have very much in common than any ethnic group. What the Hausa are doing to Igbos in Nigeria, is what Igbos will do to the Niger Delta.
Hausa and Igbo are in every villages in Nigeria they can't just stay one place.

Hausa and Igbo are at every market in Nigeria, they can't just let indigenes do their own market.

Hausa and Igbo are the ethnic group that does mostly petty businesses.

Hausa and igbo are the one with most unified religion (Christianity and Islam)

Hausa and igbo youths are ever ready to lose their life because of one supreme leader (Northern caliphate who lurks in the shadow and of course Kanu who ride to battle field with his keyboard) their youths are bunch of amateurs.

Hausa and igbo have the highest number of billionaires. (Shadow billionaires)

Hausa and igbo rarely gives their daughters to other tribe.

Hausa and igbo are not tolerant of other people religion.

Hausa and igbo for some strange reasons thinks they are destined to rule.

You all are thesame

Fahdiga:
So says a drunk

globalresource:
So because they did not do better, they should fold their arms and watch people dead? Did u even reason before you type this? Human lives for that matter and the president just kept quiet

It is well

uBuNiT:
PDP didn't do better in 16 years. So stop criticizing us

Makemefit12op:
Am just asking, considering the trolls and insult coming from the south east against south west. If there is a war against Fulani/Nigeria army,will the people of South East team up with the yorubas considering past events.

allawizzow:
Did you say tinubu has empty brain?
Tinubu had his tertiary education in United States, incase you don't know.
He worked for Arthur Anderson, one of the best and biggest 4 accounting firms in the world.
He worked in ExxonMobil for many years.
These are multinational companies and you can't get
Their employments with quota systems.
Bring out a politician better than him to contest in 2023,

flokii:
You need your brain checked.. I'm sure you're one of those arsonists looting and destroying people's sweat in the last EndSars Kanu and his IPOB people turned EndLagos.
If you have two heads, go to Lekki and continue your criminal activities if you won't end up in jail. Nonsense!

XXXXTENTACION:
Lets check this thing properly.


rumours are going around that igbos are organising or instigating protests so that they can destroy Lagos the economy of south west



Mr Macaroni was arrested among the occupylekki protesters today.



lets check this thing well is Mr Macaroni an igbo man

flokii:
They will be prosecuted in court and sentenced because they were warned.. the one Obianuju did, violating an Executive governor's curfew and got away with won't be tolerated this time, macaroni or not

Lawlessness will not be tolerated in Lagos whether human rights or goat rights.

Foolish hypocrites, they condemn Capitol attacks in US but cheer idi0ts on in Lekki.
If Lagos tire you, pack your bags and leave. There are 36 states in Nigeria, leave Lagos alone, stop unnecessary attack on Lagos!
