Kushites:
I never said secession cannot happen in Nigeria. I said it can only happen by ELITE CONSENSUS.

Sudan broke up into two nations by ELITE consensus following a bloody, intractable civil war in which over 2.5 million lives were lost.

The unity of the country became untenable in the eyes of the ELITE, and they agreed to part ways.

A civil war IS NOT about to break out in Nigeria.

We've been there, done that, and survived intact.

So forget about Nigeria breaking up.

Civil war is coming
Don’t deceive yourself…

If our celebrities pay the Tax they are meant to pay they won't be this silent

The tax they don't pay is a bribe to them

You want to tell me burner boy makes 80 million dollars and pays 40 million dollars as tax he would keep quiet like he is today?

No... I have always said it Tax would fix every problem we have in Nigeria

You mean tax that will still end in politicians pockets

I keep saying it that Nigeria is not a nation and can never be a nation. Nigeria does not possess any of the features of a nation which are common religion, common language, common culture, common historical background, etc.

Nigeria is an artificial entity created by Britain for selfish economic reasons. But Nigerian politicians keep fooling the gullible
people with the fake name 'NATION' just to plunder, steal and distort the truth.

How can people who don't have same political ideology, language, religion, culture, historical background, etc be called a nation?

Mark my words. People who usually show to be the most patriotic citizens of Nigeria are the worse set of tribalists and ethnocentric idiots.

Another most brilliant comment of the day.

Even the sharia states had taken the first steps to dissolution of Nigeria through their adoption of unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system, but still clutch tight to one Nigeria because of lucre in the southern regions. Some omoluabis here who are against dissolution of Nigeria will start all over again to cry blue murder and Nigeria when Bola Tinubu leaves office.

kestolove95:

This comment made me laugh so hard.

I can safely conclude that the Op and the 270 people that liked this reply are Igbo smokers. This is because I read sometimes ago, in a DEA journal, that weed smokers always get the feeling that they make a lot of sense when in reality, the reverse is the case.

Arostar2023:
Dissolution of the union or going back to regional governments. That way, if your tribesman misbehave , you can easily remove him from office without been accused of tribalism.

Best solution moving forward. Nigeria will be great again!!!

Arostar2023:
Dissolution of the union or going back to regional governments. That way, if your tribesman misbehave , you can easily remove him from office without been accused of tribalism.

But in the present system, the Legislative arm of government has representatives from same tribes; for instance Enugu State or Kano State people are represented at the center by their tribesmen, not someone from another tribe or even State for that matter.
What's stopping the people from removing these their tribesmen from office today?

In fact, it can be argued, regional governance in Nigeria of today may even have a worse outcome. Because same people who make up the 'political elite' and who most Nigerians, including 'intellectuals' aspire to become would hold on to power in such setup with a higher level of impunity, corruption and intimidation.

Imagine a State governor in this Nigeria being in charge of State police.

What would save Nigeria is a change in Orientation of an average Nigerian. Understanding values, dignity, equity, fairness and justice.
Once these are established, no unintelligent riffraff would dream of representing people at any level of governance all because of political or tribal affiliation.

But as long as we have multitudes of Nigerians within the Low socio-economic class who would feel entitled and fulfilled disregarding his compatriots on fuel queues, and collect bribes to open separate gates into the filling stations, or further extort them at the pumps, they have little or no justification pointing at those at the helm of affairs who only replicate their activities at a higher level.

Burna boy just keep singing your songs and don’t let buju Banton gaslight you into throwing your career away. Ever since buju banton said afrobeats is rubbish because they sing about rubbish instead of singing about issues and uplifting Africa, ever since then burna has been gaslighted

First of all you don’t qualify to talk about Nigeria because I am sure you don’t pay taxes in Nigeria

Secondly these talking points of Nigeria being created is a dummy’s talking point. Every country in this world was put together and created by humans for business purposes at one point or the other. Take the USA for example ? They added Texas from Mexico and Hawaii recently to their landmass as a country and everything is fine. So nigerias problem is not the country created but the people inside that country are plagued by numerous demons , demons have found a comfortable home in that geographical region called Nigeria. We need demon slayers, the Orunmilas, to cleanse the whole land

In conclusion? Burna boy just keep quiet and stop trying to sound intelligent because you are not intelligent. You are just vomiting what you read somewhere on ipob page

Don't mind burna.Take a look at how wide the US is and say they don't deserve to be called a nation.
Every things and creation has it's own purpose.Just like you stated,every country was once a transaction ground. That is humanity for you

Olamideayomide:
Nigeria is a geographical area because we don't have any trait of country as a NATION

It seems that way because of the docility of the people of Nigeria towards the governance of their selves and nothing more.

First off,nah leadership be our problem oooooo! For me oh,I nor support make we go our separate ways at all because we need each other.
All of us deh gifted & unique for our own different ways. Our major problem nah politicians & religious leaders.
Lóbátán!!!!!!

You have it upside-down like the majority of Nigerians always looking for a savior. Did you know that in a democracy, the leaders are the people, not those public servants elected by the leaders(the people)? 🤔

■ so when the breakup comes and the sh@tholes that come out of the former Nigerian state are still shames and failures, who/what will now be the next to blame? dumb negroes

The people are to blame for their own decisions; they will still be to blame because they chart about their future, destiny, and all.

RodgersAkpafu:
■ true sha.... and a dummy masses who buy into an ethnic supremacy mentality

Those dummy masses are the POWER in that country but they don't realize it since the vast majority are not civically educated at all. We came from a military government system to a democratic one without receiving education about how things are completely different in this new one. Therein lies the problem.

The average Nigerian goes around shouting, "Our leaders...our leaders," not realizing that in a democracy, the leaders are the people while those to whom the people hand their mandates are simply elected public servants.

■ Keep supporting evil. Since independence till now what has Nigeria achieved, absolutely nothing. We are yet to see quality education, good roads, good healthcare, job opportunities, etc. many talents are wasting away because the government have not given them room to strives, what has the government had done for us, nothing. I want to ask you this question please answer it, what really make Nigeria a nation?

Nigeria is a nation. What is missing is the will of the people to govern themselves. That is what is missing in this nation. And from the history of the Nation since 1960, we are sure of one thing. Switching from one governmental system— regional, unified, sudo-democratic, military, and now democratic— to the other has not been able to awaken that will in the people; it hasn't made a difference in that area at all.

Wow nice to know that we still have intelligent minded Nigerians, much much props to you.

■ I have same sentiment as the points you noted but don't insult Burna boy.thats his opinion and besides, you can't ever call him useless because he is better than you 1 trillion times. I have always emphasize that Governors are the main problem of Nigeria.

The people, not the governors, are the major problem in Nigeria. They have been the problem since independence. They are not civically educated and so exist as zombies where they ought to be the powers/leaders guiding the direction of their own nation.

■ Those countries you mentioned are not as ethnoreligiously and culturally divided and diverse as Nigeria. There's no country in this world that's as divided as Nigeria in all spheres of life. There's nothing the Igbos, yorubas and Fulanis have in common, not even the physical anatomy/appearance. An Indian from southern India looks exactly like the one from northern India to an outsider, share the same historical background, speak the same language, share same culture, food, clothing style and have a high chance of being members of the dominant religion. Such things are not applicable to Nigeria. If the divisions and diversity were not already there naturally, how would the politicians exploit them?

Did you know that the United States of America is one, if not the most, ethnoreligiously and culturally divided nation in the world today? Yet, when you visit a typical town or city in the country, you will find people of different shades, races, languages, ethnicities, and religions, all sitting side-by-side, working and eating together to build the nation they all love. You visit a typical home during one of the Thanksgiving holidays and you are bound to run into a mixed family with members from various parts of the world sitting at the same table, laughing and having a great time. They are all different but they are also all the same. They don't place their differences in front of them where they go. No, those differences do not matter when the priorities of life are on the table.

I say this to have us dead this notion that because Nigeria has about 250 ethnic groups living in the same space, it cannot work. That argument is born of brain damage in my opinion.

If you actually understood the real nature of the problems, you wouldn't use the US as an example.
There in the US, a particular race/ethnicity has an overwhelming majority, and the rest are in the minority.
Such a scenario also exists in many other countries such as UK, India, Russia, China, South Africa, Brazil, etc. The majority in these places detect the direction the countries move towards. The minorities usually don't serve as big obstacles and the majority doesn't go into destructive competitions with them.

That's in sharp constrast with Nigeria where at least 3 major ethnic nationalities which are entirely culturally different have approximately the same populations, slug it out with each other and embark on useless battles of superiority, dominance and suppressions.

When last did you hear about Ibibio or Igala, for instance, was blowing drums of war with the Yorubas, Hausa/fulanis or Igbos?
They're in the minority, and have excepted their status, just like every other minority else.
If Nigeria were a real country, and had a predominant ethnic group which detect the direction the country would go, just like in the US you mentioned, everything would move seamlessly.
You need to study Nigeria well to be able to understand these issues.
Any president who neglects them, like Buhari did and Tinubu is currently doing, will never do well.

These ideas people who think as you do put forward do not make sense to me at all given the numerous examples out there to counter pretty much everything you come up with.

I have no desire to dig any further into that tripe at all since I have seen firsthand how divided the people are even within all the various ethnic nationalities which you pretend are culturally united in some way. The division between the ethnic groups in Nigeria, many of these within the so-called major ethnic nationalities, runs so deep that if the division were a way out, then the only reasonable solution would divide the country along all ethnic lines — at least 250 of them. We know that should not happen at all. So, I chose not to even engage in these debates about division all together.

yout paragraph one no follow at all

because white America is NOT a monolithic body

the founding fathers and those that followed arefrom different countries, backgrounds and all that.
they are not the same in anything

what they had was a common purpose of building a model country.

America is more diverse than Nigeria will ever be

Utah fellows are Mormons
Florida is a Catholic paradise
New York and California is a left leaning Liberal paradise
Texas are wild in their own way
The Carolinas nko?

States in the deep south (some) still wanna go the confederate way

so America is a good example

Nigerians are not serious people
Africans as a whole

It's a bad mentality, miseducation and bad culture that is the problem

Igbo man thinks he is better than the rest (delusional talk)

yoruba think they are the one ahead (moranic talk)
it's the same sheet across
and if u like
dissolve Nigeria into 100
it's still the same rotten mentality that will still permeate the whole country

As you can't get along with each other when you have to be with each other
.how will you do so when yall are divided entities ?

or you think you can build a super mini country without being in good relations with your neighbours?

anyways
