History555:
If Hausa and fulani says they want to secede tomorrow no lgbo man will beg them or start preaching the consequences of secession

If yorubas say they want to secede tomorrow, no lgbo man will beg them or start preaching the consequences of secession

If middle belt says they want to secede tomorrow no lgbo man will beg them or start preaching the consequences of secession

If niger delta wants to secede tomorrow no lgbo man will beg them or start preaching the consequences of secession

But once lgbos says they want to secede every hausa, fulani, yoruba, middle belt, niger delta will start begging, threatening, opening countless threads, wailing, preaching the consequences of secession.

That tells you which tribe is the most important in Nigeria

All day on this forum, one can witness the hate Nigerian tribes have for each other, so why don’t we all just split amicably?

I’ve never seen where you hate someone so much, yet choose to remain in contact with such a person.

Isn’t it common sense?

Or am I missing something?

There is no day, igbos, Yorubas , Hausas... don’t get insulted here, some even wish for the death of the whole tribe.

So you would rather eradicate a whole tribe than have them leave you?

I don’t understand the logic.

1.Because division is unrealistic at the moment (note, I am not saying that your agitation for independence is evil..so don't go there).

Nigeria relies mostly on oil revenues, and apart from that we haven't developed our other mineral and agric resources in some time (and even if we did, it does not necessarily add money)...plus, most parts of Nigeria don't have industries that can earn adequate amount of the dollars and pounds (unlike Czechoslovakia, which could split up easy)..so if there is a breakup...most of the new countries would be severely indebted.

2.The minority tribes of this country won't allow it. A split would be against their interests...because it would open them to exploitation and conquest and domination by the big tribes. That's why the middle belt does not want to be part of 'Arewa' nor does the South south want to join Biafra.

3.Splitting the country would be harmful to the commercial interests of this country, and not just big men like Dangote. For instance, a lot of business is conducted across this country..across tribes and regions .Put a border across the divsions...and you get things like tarrifs...and you get high prices.

Right now, the South is not self sufficent in food. A split would force the SOuth to become even more of a net importer of food...draining the forex reserves...and leading to high prices for food and inflation.

4.Where do we draw the lines of separation? No one has been able to answer that quesiton (and please, don't say 'old regions'...those old regions are just as contraptions as Nigeria is). Plus we have a lot of minority tribes ...who dont' want to be lumped with the majority tribes...

And don't suggest the India-Pakistan solution...that led to millions dead, and millions displaced...and still creates a lot of issues up till now.

5.Finally, the cries for separation are just cries for more and more money. Nigerian states are financially insolvent...and so don't want to tax the vast majority of their people. There is a reason why many Ibos want Biafra...and it is because they would have all the oil revenue to themselves.

Again the cries for separation are also more of 'If we can't have power/control of the sharing of the national cake, we'll break things up' Either way, the end resout is simple...more concessions from the center...more money

Which at the end of the day is what it is really all about.


P.S..Most of the agitations for separation come from big tribes. Not the small tribes.

The hate is being influence by our leaders. On a good day Nigerians love themselves, but our leaders are selfish greedy useless set of fools

Thats not true there is no love in Nigeria stop telling yourselves sweet lies to comfort your insecurities.

Nigerians donot love themselves and they know it.

Nigerians have mastered the Art of pretending.

Kunlelee:


Maybe you've stayed with your tribe alone all your life, cos if you happen to have travel to a state out of your region, you will understand this better.

Okoroawusa:
If Nigeria would have divided, 1967 would have been easier. Now? It's very very impossible

Igbos have left far back, you are holding them back and down with the force of arms and threats of genocide

I dont know if you live in a different Nigeria. Maybe you confuse smile as love. A lot of nigerians that spew hatred on Nairaland are the same people that will smile at you in public. Nigerians are the most pretentious people I have ever met. Yes, I have travelled around but I will never confuse a smile from a fellow Nigerian as love. When the chips are down you see their true colours and tribal loyalies come out. All that fake acting disappears,
