Nigeria was never united by choice but by force. That's why its inherent disunity keeps getting glaring and worse.

We are talking about a country that had two ethnic massacres BEFORE independence, and went into a bloody civil war withing 7 years of independence. Yet, 50 years later, the mutual hate, suspicion and disgust are only getting worse.

The reason some folks pretend that this is no issue and insist on the fake oneness beats me.

JoeArmsD1:
Why is Nigeria so divided?
I have asked myself this question for an unaccountable number of times.

Coming to Nairaland, If you're a first timer here and a foreigner; no doubt, not even Heaven will convince you that Nigeria is unity is non - negotiable.

Nigerians are not proud of Nigeria

From North to South, East to West.

No spirit of Nationalism!

So you now admit that the authorities are behind ethnic killings in Nigeria?

Good to know.

CrtlAltDel:
Hahahaha…. When will Nigeria lawyers investigate police racial killings in U.S
We are waiting for Trump reponse to declare Biafra after seeing this report…. Jokers

It's so disgusting.

Once took him serious. But then I saw the depth of his boiling igbophobic tendencies and intellectual dishonesty. I was taken aback abruptly.

Amarabae:
my brother,the guy has run away,
i have dealt with him this afternoon,
did an Igbo girl turn him down? The hatred in him is too much,
how does such a person breath?
Nawa o,

Sis, just ignore that dude now, and for good.

His igbophobia and intellectual dishonesty are worse than those of late Ken Saro Wiwa (bless his soul), only a deeply personal political crisis can cure him of the phobia, just the same way it did Ken.

Stop descending into his abyss of ethnic bigotry. If he thinks his clan is superior to Igbo, then allow him to wallow peacefully in the euphoria of his grand delusion.

Please conserve your energy for a sane engagement with intellectually honest people.

Amarabae:
Igboland has more crudeoil than urhoboland,do you want the records now?
From ukwa to oyigbo,ndoni,egbema,etche,omuma, oguta, ogbaru,etc
apart from that,we have far more investment,business empires, international diplomats, intellectuals etc that you people can dream of,
i repeat again,we are not mates, the gap is too much

Lead by example.

Start by RESPECTING the choice of those who say they do not want to be one with you.

Fact is, you appear as nothing but a disrespectful hypocrite as long as you keep forcing your nonexisting oneness on everyone.

givbitcoin:
The dust will soon settle, PMB is back.

From the little available hints, the man is strong enough to serve his two terms, based on our assumption though, but we know that tomorrow can't be correctly predicted.

Nigeria is one, let's respect this.

Let people respect one another as well as the rule of law.

If you are caught in the ugly act of incitement or any form of hate speech whatsoever, you will face severe punishment.

Support the government of PMB let's work together to make this country great again.

Thank you

Long live PMB
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria

I really think your perception about oppression is your entitlement.

But regarding your talk about "bringing in the Ohaneze Ndigbo into the struggle", that's not going to happen. What's really happening is that the perpetually neglected common majority have resolved to take their destinies into their hands.

That's pure revolution.

So, it's up to the "Ohaneze to key in with the reality or keep living in delusion. But I don't see the activists going to court their cooperation.

freshest4live:

I think it's time for ohaneze Ndigbo to take up whatever Igbo struggle there is, not movements here and there, it's disorderly. Try to bring them into this and make them more active, you'll get a lot of things done, and discuss issues at the top. Stop seeing yourselves as oppressed all the time.

I absolutely do not have any time to indulge your bait for endless back and forth. But I will embed on your conscience the same nuggets of truths which I already shared elsewhere. That's hoping that you still have a living conscience.

Here you go:

So in your Nigerian mind, your ancestors were not in existence before 1914?

Or did anyone in your lineage vote to be part of this contraption, and had their ancestral lands forcefully taken over by a bunch of imperial lords?

Are you not ashamed of your national history?

Or do you think that everyone is content with fake identity?

When did the fraud which you now illegally call constitution receive public endorsement?

The only way to foster pure patriotism is to remind folks who want out that the exit door is wide open.

Forced union is the end of true patriotism.

I don't wish anyone to be a citizen of any country where his citizenship is by force.

Finally, you have no idea how many formidable people you force to call the bluff of forced one Nigeria when you keep playing the war card.

It is so disgusting to share nationality with folks who have little regards for human freedom and would shamelessly propose the act of war (and annihilation of human resources) as justifiable ways to illegally consolidate their grips on natural resources.

Thing is, your idea of One Nigeria as you just proposed it, is a crime against humanity. Thus, it is unsustainable. It cannot last. It's just a matter of time.

**Visionary folks should be looking at modalities for cordial, robust and socio-economically dynamic relationships between all ethnic nations that would emerge in post-Nigeria political reality. But failure to envision this and equitably plan and organize for it, will not in any way stop it.

ameri9ja:
Detribalised Association of Nigeria (the Danites), (formerly ADN), hereby sponsor a debate on the pros and cons of maintaining Nigeria as one country.

Emotions, illogical reference and ranting will not cut it for thes idiots.

Palestine was never part of Isreal. Isrealis are an occupying force of Palestinian land.

Not only Buhari supports their freedom and self determination but a whole bunch of many other world leaders.

Comparing Palestine's case to the Biafra struggle beats imagination.

The population of Norway is LESS than 6 million ( that's less than 5% of Nigeria's population)

Yet, Norway's GDP per Capita is over $70,000, (bigger than that of the US) whereas that of Nigeria remains less than $2000.

moninuola65:

take this to your gang.
pls

Whether you are 1million or 100million does not make any difference in GDP per Capita. The US population is almost twice bigger than that of Nigeria. Yet, the current US GDP per Capita is well above $50,000 whereas that of Nigeria is less than $2000.

moninuola65:

hun-un!
your GDP is generated by the Land & vegetation!

What does population has to do with GDP per Capita?

No wonder you are opening silly threads.

moninuola65:

I want to know the population of the three countries.

Stop spewing your arrant ignorance. Majority of the people in Quebec and Scotland DO NOT want to secede. And that's also true of all the places you mentioned -except Catalonia which is totally unstoppable - even though it is yet to hold a binding referendum.

moninuola65:

Great soviet Union!
you people can continue in delusional, if Nigeria is exploded as you wish, it will consumed many countries!
you can tell why, Texas is still forced to remain in USA? why Catalonia not free from Spain? why Quebecois not set free fee from Canada? Why Scottish still remain in UK.... all for centuries in fighting for secession!
why?

moninuola65:

which of these countries mention can take in charge of Nigeria for month!

You are totally clueless. Go and research the demography of the European countries, then tell us how Nigeria is better than Estonia or even Greece.

moninuola65:
Nigeria is an Atom, and any one dreaming of her division, is in delusional, it's a pity that elites lack knowledge about an indivisible element, by the time you thinking of dividing Nigeria into two you will find it splits in to indivisible particle.
I would have accept and buy the Idea of balkanization but I've seen the reality that, it is impossible to balkanise Nigeria, until Nigeria splits into indivisible and nonviable state the international community is aware of this and we continue to watch until the agitation die down.
Only the democratic politic game left for all Nigerian to play!
Some may still in confusion and in the dilemma but that's the reality.
if the generation of today finished in the fighting to divide Nigeria
Nigeria will still remain One and indivisible!

There we go again. The usual mumbo-jumbo, incoherent rants and silly innuendoes. Dude, mention those loots SPECIFICALLY, one by one. Present factual instances, or just shut up.

Godbless you. You just have to feel Sorry for any Nigerian Youths that pays GEJ any attention. His Carelessness is what got NIGERIA to it's present state now. I know people who made so much money from him. Some of friends were asking me why I didn't come back home during his time. Forget what you guys read on papers, if you have any Idea how much looting went under his government, you will stone the man. You just cannot even begin to imagine it. People becoming Billionaires over night. If not for BUBARI5 Nigerians might just be killing each others for food today. They see the present difficulty, but have no comprehension the type of Catastrophe BUHARI helped stopped. I just can't believe GEJ would dare speak again. I say forget the little stuff you read on papers, majority of what went down can't even be Imagine by any Sane person. The looting is simply out of this world and Nigerians are paying Heavily for it now, but thank God for BUHARI. At 120dollars per barrel what Legacy did GEJ leave behind? Cos BUBARI has been paying Contractors he didn't pay, Helping States pay Salaries that GEJ government owes.. The Agricultural Revolution taking place now, imagine how cheap food will be in a year or two. Truth is BUHARIS 3yrs government has outperformed PDP 16yrs cos with no Money he has kept the country going. against all odds . I can't believe some of our Youths cant see beyond their nose. They want Instant Remedy. BUHARI the Magician with no money should fix the rot of. The last 16yrs. U na try sha

It's only dogs who think that self-determination is abnormal.

And only pigs think that they must go to war with one another in order to dissolve a fraudulent and structurally flawed union.

Only monkeys believe that a union can be sustained by force or threat of violence in the 21st century.

No sane human thinks in any of those ways..

Abagworo:
Okorocha remains the most truthful and courageous Southeast governor. The deceit is much to an extent that some supposedly educated people believe they can divide Nigeria without war and destruction.

Are you serious?

Please can you provide some insight as per why you said it was a troll?

Explorerx:
Lol it is a troll

Oh my, just got it now. But I honestly think the dude went too far o.

Folks literally bought the hoax and made it viral. Lol. You should probably edit the title of this thread to reflect the hoax.

The poo actually got me genuinely worried for 12 minutes, the first time I read it.

Dude, is this a kind of joke, prank, satire or something?

Geez! What the bleep is going on in this country?
