This is not necessarily my view but it is worth reading.


*THIS IS THE BEST THAT I HAVE READ SO FAR IN ARGUMENT AGAINST 'ONE NIGERIA'!*

*PROF. (AMB)GEORGE OBIOZOR WROTE THIS:*

*Most of the Diasporans here live in Europe; Can you show me one multi-ethnic state in "EUROPE" where one group is positioned to dominate the rest that hasn't broken up?*

FOR THOSE WHO MAY NOT KNOW, WHAT YOU CALL *ETHNIC GROUPS* IN *NIGERIA* ARE CALLED *NATIONS* IN *EUROPE*.

THERE'S NOWHERE IN THE WORLD WHERE THE *WHITE MAN* ACCEPTS DOMINATION FROM ANOTHER *WHITE IN* *PERPETUITY.*

It used to be so under the *ROMAN* empire and the like. *NOT ANYMORE*. The *COMMUNISTS* tried it, dividing society into capitalists and proletariats, deluding themselves that ethnicity is effectively swept under the carpet, but what followed? The Communist edifices in *CZECHOSLOVAKIA,* *YUGOSLAVIA,* and the big brother, *USSR,* all collapsed, while the two *GERMANS* that are ethnically the same but split by *COMMUNISM* vs *CAPITALISM* were reunited. Such is the power of *ETHNIC NATIONALISM.*

*CZECHOSLOVAKIA* was made up of *TWO ETHNIC GROUPS*, the *CZECHS* and the *SLOVAKIANS*. Both separated peacefully on *1st JANUARY 1993.* The former is today *10.6 million* people and the latter *5.4 million.* Added together, they're not up to *LAGOS*. Yet, they split for *PEACE.* TWO MASTERS CAN'T BE IN THE SAME HOUSE.

*YUGOSLAVIA* in *1991* was *23.2 million*, barely more than *LAGOS* population. It broke into *SIX COUNTRIES* same year - all along ethnic lines, namely: *BOSNIA* and *HERZEGOVINA*, *CROATIA,*
*MACEDONIA*, *MONTENEGRO,* *SERBIA* , and *SLOVENIA*.

Then the big brother, *USSR*. It had, at least, the following ethnic groups identified by their languages:
*Regional languages:*
*Ukrainian*
*Belarusian*
*Uzbek*
*Kazakh*
*Georgian*
*Azerbaijani*
*Lithuanian*
*Moldavian*
*Latvian*
*Kyrgyz*
*Tajik*
*Armenian*
*Turkmen*
*Estonian*

*MINORITY LANGUAGES:*

*Abkhaz*
*Bashkir*
*Buryat*
*Chechen*
*Finnish*
*Volga German*
*Korean*
*Ossetian*
*Tatar*
& various others.

Today, your fingers will not be enough to count the *NUMBER OF COUNTRIES* that have emerged from the *USSR.*

Sit down there and be PREACHING UNITY IN NIGERIA as if you're the kindest gentleman on earth while you have no solution to the genocide in *SOUTHERN KADUNA,YORUBALAND and the MIDDLE BELT THE ILLEGALLY BUT OFFICIALLY CONDONED ARMS IN THE HANDS OF KILLER HERDSMEN ROAMING THE COUNTRY, and be condemning those better informed about the fact that the country is undergoing the strains of a "FORCED UNION"* and should be *PEACEFULLY RESTRUCTURED* OR LET PEOPLE GO THEIR SEPARATE WAYS.

In *EUROPE,* the two best examples of fairly stable *MULTI-ETHNIC STATES* are the *UK* and the *SWITZERLAND*. The former is led by reasonable men who permitted regional autonomy to the *IRISH*, the *SCOTS* and the *WELSH*, while the *ENGLISH* dominate *WESTMINSTER*. That's something some of us are asking for, but you're fighting against it in your own country wracked by *ETHNIC CRISIS*.
*Your own people are better off under oppression of fellow black men because your people have bad leaders who can't do better than their new "INTERNAL COLONISERS".*

The latter country, *SWITZERLAND*, has *FOUR ETHNIC GROUPS*. Each of them *ROTATES THE PRESIDENCY* through seven cantons that constitute the *FEDERATING UNITS*. All the four languages of the four ethnic groups are recognized as official languages and school languages to boot, namely, *GERMAN, FRENCH, ITALIAN*, and *ROMANSCH* that has just a few thousand speakers!

There's nowhere in the world where the *CAUCASIANS* allow the domination of their group by another.

In *CANADA*, *QUEBEC* is the only full *FRENCH-SPEAKING PROVINCE*, aside a little section of *NEW BRUNSWICK.* The other *seven provinces* are *ENGLISH-SPEAKING.* Yet, *CANADA* is *BILINGUAL* for the sake of *QUEBEC*! And each of the provinces is largely *SELF-GOVERNING.*

Here we are in *NIGERIA,* you have people arguing vehemently that a *decrepit, structurally-flawed, and crisis-prone artificial contraption* badly configured by the *BRITISH* only needs good people to survive. Why not centralise the powers of the *BRITISH REGIONS* to *LONDON* and see what happens?

I once believed in NIGERIA but not in oppressive contraption saddled with brutality of FELLOW NIGERIANS.

*I THINK IT'S TIME TO LET MY PEOPLE GO OR CHANGE THE STATUS QUO OF GOVERNANCE.*

#COPIED

Wonderful piece of argument. I already know this country will not and cannot work.

Please Summarize...

E too long nah
.. you sef check am nah

Can never get to front page.... They so want you to be dumb


Both your government officials, religious men and women, motivational speakers, schools all of them want you to be ignorant of of Nigeria and how it works....so you can keep being at the mercy of HOPE AND SUPERNATURAL BEINGS


They know once your aware of what should be and what should not be under that geographical expression you call NIGERIA thëy will be out of business.

That's why politicians are preaching and emphasizing on UNITY, TOGETHER ONE NIGERIA.

That's why clergy men are shouting: OH LET'S PRAY FOR OUR DEAR NATION, LETS PRAY FOR GOD TO TOUCH THE HEART OF OUR LEADERS , OH LET'S PRAY FOR THE UNITY OF OUR NATION but they know is not about prayer.


That's why the schools with outdated curriculum are emphasizing you must Go to school giving you hope of WHO KNOWS SOMEDAY YOU WILL GET A JOB meanwhile you're remitting money to them in the bank and they are sharing..... Why do you think you're on strike because of the money remitted that's supposed to be shared....they understand it's more important to them than your education and certificate. Many are still remitting money to JAMB, WAEC, NECO DESPITE THE FACT THAT HIGHER INSTITUTIONS ARE ON STRIKE...THAT'S HOW STUPID THEY WANT YO TO BE

Didn't you hear they had to cancel whether NECO or what because the money is not enough....that's to tell you its all about money not education


WAKE UP SHEEPLE....WAKE UP!

The problem is that the elite
Fulani who control the Hausas and
Northern Nigeria don't want the
country to split because they have
parasitically become used to the wealth
from Christian southern Nigeria.

Today, they add no value to the country
but want to control the resources coming
from other people's backyards, which
they use to marry many wives, build
mosques in every nook and crannies
of their land and buy houses in Abuja and Dubai.

Unfortunately, southern politicians have
been bought over to betray their
regions.☹️☹️☹️☹️

If this gets to front page I will come back to Nigeria and burn my passport

Absolutely on point!
It's only a fool who will think that Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo can be one, till the world will end they will never be.

Nigeria as a country is great but this unity is serving worst consequences.

Break this country so that Yoruba and Hausa can continue to leave as one but because of Oil they will not

I've always made this argument. Check most European nations, they're fashioned and formed along tribal lines, France for Frenchmen, England for English, Poland for Polish, Finland for Finnish, etc.

But Africa?

No thanks to the Berlin conference of 1884, tribes that can barely stand themselves were bundled together, no respect for geographical monuments.

Until this is solved and African states are redesigned along tribal lines, Rwanda war, Congo war, Nigerian civil war and all the skirmishes we have all over the continent will never cease.

Reason why government is so lucrative and a highly sought after profession because when a man is in position of authority, his tribe flourishes to the near detriment of the others.

See ehn, if the oppressed keep waiting for when his freedom will be handed to him by his oppressor, e go wait tire.

Why do you think there's a phrase as "Freedom ain't Free"?

If we keep waiting for Fulani to relinquish their hold, we go grow white bear bear. Matter of fact, they still regard the whole of Nigeria as their estate due to the actions of the British devils.

Reason why I'll keep supporting any group that preaches division and breakup of Nigeria.

Bashiru the Nurtw illiterate, argue against the points raised and stop your futile semantics of self-delusions.
