Dividing Nigeria won't solve the country's problems. The root issue isn't tribalism, but rather bad leadership. If Nigeria were to break into smaller countries, each fragment would likely face similar challenges.

Take Ekiti, Imo, Delta, or Sokoto states, for example. They're led by people from their respective regions, yet the outcomes aren't significantly different. The same applies to local governments.

Those advocating for division should look inward. What have their leaders achieved at the state or local level? The same individuals currently in power would likely seek leadership positions in any new, fragmented country.

The problem lies with the people, not the country's structure. An average Nigerian tends to prioritize personal interests over collective progress. Our diversity should be a strength, not a wedge to divide us.

Dividing Nigeria won't address the underlying issues. Instead, we should focus on cultivating good leadership and accountability at all levels of government.

Dividing Nigeria will solve at least 85% of our problem.





Nigeria main problem is not leadership, Nigeria main problem is we don't share common value system.


What makes a great nation are people that share common value system.
The way Igbo man thinks is not the way yoruba man thinks, the way yoruba man thinks,is not the Way Hausafulanis man think.



What you have done for over 60 years and got the same results, even if you do it in next 1000 years it will still be the same results.

OredoPikin2:
Dont u share common value with those in your local govt and state?
Is ur local govt and state not an extension of Nigeria?
What have your people ruling at local and state level doing differently?

chiagozien:
Just one sentence for you and I won't engage you further.




The head controls the tail,if you expect to have a wonderful tail when the head is rotten,then you are unwise.

Arexit:
it won't solve all but its a start

OredoPikin2:
Nothing like the head controls the tail.
Allocations are sent to your states and down to ur local govt.
All the people in ur local govt speaks same language with u.
If you cant hold your local govt chairman embezzling ur local resources, by the time u have ur own country, it is the same people that will be the head of that country.
If u cant hold then now, i am sorry u cant still hold them accountable when u have ur country

Dividing Nigeria will solve our problems. People who are divided deeply along tribal, ethnic, religious and ideological lines have no business being together in one country. It will be fight without end, which is pretty much the storyline of Nigeria


Only those of like minds should be together in a country because only them have any chance of becoming a nation

WilyWily:
Dividing Nigeria, 90% of Nigeria problem solved

OredoPikin2:
Ur governors and local govt chairmen, are they not the same tribe with you?
Why are dey not developing your states and local govt with the resources that they get?
Instead they loot all

OredoPikin2:
The lies u all tell yourselves 🤣
And Abia man is the governor of Abia state, why is he not solving Abia problem?
An Ekiti man is the governor of Ekiti, why is he not solving the problem of Ekiti?
Same goes for other states.
They all get allocations and loot it and u do nothing but to lie that having ur own country will solve your problem
Keep up with the dream

Good idea ignoring that fella going forward! You can tell from his selective arguments exactly where he’s coming from, so what’s the point!? He’s on this forum primarily to protect and sustain the status-quo of a deeply kwarrupt and dysfunctional country that’s been structured from late 60s to date to service the interests of a hegemonic few while at the same time cheating, subjugating and oppressing others and milk their resources!

Just how TF can any ethnicity, region or group thrive to the fullest extent of their abilities in the unitary, command-and-control system of gov’t such that Nigeria operates! A system that elevates the president to the position of omnipotence and godlike status while governors of the component units scurry about to ensure his every whim and caprice is taken care of! It’s the warped democracy we operate in Nigeria that enables a one party state to emerge in all but name!

Sheuns:
Why should i as a citizen be the one to hold the person that’s the chairman of my local government accountable?

What are the institutions created to do check and balances meant for?

EFCC, ICPC, the state house of assembly, the police etc.

You guys are quick to shift the blame to the people while leaving the ones saddled with the responsibilities aloof.

Evaloyal2J:
Is it your lga chairman, councilor, state govt that shot pump price from 67 to 1000? $1 to #1500?, 7percent vat, income taxes, taxe on buying selling import export 1000percnt taxes on every single dime I deposit into my savings account instead of interest like it used to? 7percent tax on sms, data and everything except life that is beyond their tax celling? Antld all these, without anything to show for, instead they keep borrowing from china to imf, world banks and all have you. Just say the structure benefit you more hence it's no issues for you.

Why not start now by asking your local govt chairman what he does with allocations sent to him
