Nigeria houses the three largest ethnic groups in Africa, Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo. This is a major reason why Nigeria is simply not workable

Ideally, a country should have just one majority ethnic group, or at the very worst, two

To have three major ethnic group in one country is disaster because it means that at any given time, at least one of those ethnic groups will not be happy with what is going on in the country

Another reason why a country with three majority ethnic can never work is that each of those ethnic group know that their numbers are larger than most countries in Africa. Most countries in Africa are not up to 10 million people, but Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo are individually over 40 million each.

They should have been three different countries. The only way Nigeria might have worked is if the country was run as a confederation, where the three ethnic groups are countries of their own, within a country, but with a weak centre

No country with three major ethnic groups is workable, it will be eternal political fight forever

But nobody is fighting Nigeria, it's only the igbos that are fighting themselves. The terrorism in northern Nigeria is not tribal. Boko Haram or I SWAP are not killing because they are not happy in Nigeria, issue with bandit herdsmen and local farmers is more the same communal clash going on in many SE state but guess who's killing his tribesmen and other people because he's not happy with Nigeria? The Igbo man. From Ojukwu to Kanu to Ekpa. Same ideology, same nzobu zobu approach.

Flimsy excuses!

Does Nigeria have more ethnic groups than the US, India and China? Yet those countries are winning with their population and diversity.

Nigeria can never work as one country even in the next 200 years unless you want to believe in deceiving yourself . A government spokesman mentioned this 👇 you must be really dumb to to believe otherwise

This one own no pass wailing

Op is on point every sensible person knows that Nigeria can never work.

So, how many countries would you split it into?

Even the proposed Biafra is a contraption like Nigeria.

Many of you guys don't pay attention to how your local and state government is run, and you also live on the fiction that the money we make is enough. It isn't.

Igbos are minority, they’re not a major ethnic group..

I don't care how many country they split it to,I just want Yoruba people out of this country.

Better address your problem with hate then. Hate does more to harm the hater than the hated.

Why do you hate Igbos?

You forgot about Biafra and voted for Obi in the 2023 presidential election. You're only talking like this because Obi is not the president.

Gigigidy is at least a consistent biafra supporter. If Obi won in 2023, he will still put up a thread calling for biafra.

At the very least, he ain't as hypocritical as you think he is.

This is a chidish comment. Gidggidy is pro Biafra, he wants Nigeria to fall apart.

A lot of Ibos like Gidggidy felt Obi could win the 2023 presidential election, he abandoned Biafra and started campaigning and even voted for Obi. Peter Obi never promised to break apart Nigeria so, on what basis did he vote Obi? If Obi won the election, he won't say pim about Biafra again, he will suddenly become pro Nigeria like because an ibo man is the president of Nigeria.

Yea, like when I say he is pro-biafra....he wants Nigeria to break up. Even if Obi wins, he won't change his view.

Only reason why he may like an Obi presidiency is that now that there is an igbo guy in charge, maybe something might happen....just as some sharia supporters thought that Buhari would bring about sharia nationwide.

It's obvious. You hate Yorubas.

You guys, instead of crying on nairaland,join a party and get the change you want. Be it breaking up nigeria or even restructuring.

Honestly, the way you secessionists behave, it is not by crying online or posting online that BIafra would come.

The rest of Nigeria tribes are not interested in division of the country so rest with your Ipob thoughtless genda

If the unity of Nigeria is based on who wins the Presidency, then the unity is no worth anything as the Presidency has done nothing but make the lives of everyone worse

And your solution is to recreate the colonial eastern Nigeria aka Biafra where you ibos lorded over and oppressed the so-called minorities .


Better limit your Biafra nonesense to your five plot dot region.


You want a country where you can freely exploit, subdue and oppress minorities.

he needs a country where he and his Ibo people can oppress and marginalise minority people without interference .


That's why they keep dragging SS into their nonesense Biafra.

Nigeria oppressed the so called minorities more than the Eastern Region ever did any way

The three majorities should be seperate countries, the minorities can congregate themselves and former their own countries

The only workable solution was killed by a decree in 1966.
The idea of Nigeria is a great one but in a federal state not a unitary one.

Nigeria is just a British enterprise. Invasion created to make money for the British empire. It cannot work.

You mean regions.

Under which people were.agitatiing for more regions even states before 1967.( Hence Midwest region)

Regions did not work. Gowon did not create states for nothing..there was agitating on the ground

gidgiddy:

you are a blatant liar.

The minorities in the SS suffered most under the British created Eastern region and went through hell under Biafra occupation.

An Ijaw man has become President and an Annang man is currently the Senate President with an Ikwere man serving as Minister of the FCT .


Even when your Ekpa came out with his list of cabinet members for his online Biafra republic , he didn't even have the sense to include one person from the SS you so much covet into his Biafra Government in exile.


It's either Nigeria or we go our separate way .
Biafra is never an option

Hate Yoruba when I'm one myself,to hell with Nigeria and Biafra.
