Don't be unfortunate this afternoon!

We should support land grabbers and identity usurpers? Sometimes you go just sidon decide to monkey yourself.

SonOfWords:
Some of you don't even understand how badly this country has crumbled. You sit in your small comfort zones and form opinions without the slightest idea that being a Nigerian alone makes you a prey to the rest of the world, today.

I was in the #Endsars crowd that attempted to flood the National Assembly in Abuja. We were brutalized like hardened criminals. It took almost three days for me to secure my release because I had people capable of making that happen. I left that cell with three other innocent protestant Nigerians and a lot more languished there even longer.

Something has to give in this country, and not a moment later. It is on that premise that I wholeheartedly agree with Lord Adams on this very issue.

Since the puppeteer has found an opportunity to upset the stage, there's nothing wrong if we use the moment to break from those strings as citizens, even if the cost is going to be heavy.

Dude nobody wants these terrorists to be alive but compromising Nigeria's sovereignty is not the solution. Knowing the pattern of US "saving" the oppressed citizens of certain countries and leaving them worse off, we ought to be skeptical. An ideal situation would have been a partnership of the US army with the Nigerian army while providing weapons and Intelligence.

⚡Chad government closed its border with Nigeria, citing security threats after reports of U.S. military plans in Nigeria.

President Déby ordered a military lockdown amid intelligence of militants moving from northern Nigeria.

A referendum would involve representatives in the house of assembly and a general vote and I do not think this has been done yet. For protests, yes, Endsars comes to mind even though it wasn't an explicit call for restructuring same as all the fuel hike protests held during Jonathan's regime.

Maybe that should be the conversation we should be having now. What do we really want and how do we go about it? A dissolution into separate tiny states? Or a united one but with lesser power in the center and more in states or regions?
Again, I posit that if we had a vibrant economy almost none of these would matter (tribe, religion) America is currently home to different nationalities and each with their religious beliefs, Christianity, Hindus, Muslims etc. Everyone is making their money and living in a decent home so no one really cares. These things only become apparent in a condition of lack

Despite all the division on the thread, it seems nobody wants to share the same country with people of Bakare's faith.

How then are you so hypocritical of Israel and tag those ones freedom fighters? Line up properly for thunder to str!ke you one by one.

Wonderment.. The same party you called names...

According to you, in 2018, APC na terrorist party, party of Fuulannni herdsmen. What changed in 2025?

They still remain a party full of terrorists till today, and don’t think I will ever support the APC government. I hated them before, and I will continue to hate them. But seeing some of you openly canvassing for a U.S. invasion of Nigeria is something I will never support, because we all know what U.S. interventions usually lead to. Have you ever seen any U.S. intervention that brought lasting peace anywhere? They are welcome to cooperate with the Nigerian government to flush out terrorists, but not for Trump or anyone else to disrespect us by threatening invasion as if we are a vassal state to the U.S. Go to Twitter and Facebook you will see how some ignorant fools are calling for the invasion of their own country as if the U.S. were an angel. A U.S. invasion would only lead to disaster for the average Nigerian.

LordAdam16:
Everyone here is in agreement that the ideal solution to this problem is the Nigerian military smoking the savages.
We also all agree that solving this problem is within the capabilities of the Nigerian military.
We also all agree that the Nigerian government has shirked its responsibility in securing the lives of Nigerians--Christians and Muslims alike. And have even made some egregious and baffling errors that appear to be rewarding the cretins.

Where there is a divergence is what happens when the Nigerian government refuses to heed the warning of the Americans.

For one camp, and you are in this camp, nothing should be done if the Nigerian government fails to act.
We should all just continue to type condolences, complain, and count coffins.
Tell me if I'm wrong and how?

If the threat of military intervention does not get Tinubu and co to act, then what will?
And how long should we wait for that miracle to happen while thousands more die?
Answer!

Again, you are unwell if you think you can threaten religious war and death to those who demand action be taken because terrorists are about to be sent to their creator.
Don't worry, if the operation starts we will also tell you that the US is also killing Christians in Venezuela, so they are not targeting muslims.
Y'all think you are dealing with kids.

-Lord

Honestly, one of the biggest problems bedevelling Nigeria is the sheer level of ignorance Southerners have concerning the North

Scorpio99:
This isn't about ignorance.
People have seen with their eyes. People don't want the same country with you radical muslim folks anymore. Enough is damn enough!!!! And the problem is particularly the Fulanis. We have people who have lived in the north for years and will tell you how friendly Hausa people are but Fulani is always negative news.

And we all know that the only reason why the north itself is not calling for a dissolution of the country is because of southern oil.
Buhari wasted billions of dollars looking for non existing oil in the north.

If the north finds oil today or something greater than oil that can power its unproductive, teeming and uncontrollable population for up to the next 100 years, I am more than convinced they will be the first to roll out the drums of dissolution.

IMEI:
It's foolish of you to designate me into a 'camp'. Even going as far as saying that I want nothing to be done if the Government does nothing

First of all, the North is my region and it's my people this affects. You'll never convince me or any reasonable person that you can have a more valid take than mine. You can also never want the situation resolved more than me, that is impossible, so no do pass yourself

America has a very bad track record when it comes to military occupation in Muslim majority areas, it's normal for there to be some level of apprehension

Once again for the umpteenth time, because it seems you're blind to it when I type this, if America comes in good faith and strictly goes after those responsible for the killings, then they're welcome, if not then the consequences will be catastrophic for the country

There's nowhere in my post I threatened religious war, all I did was give an assessment of what could be should things play out in the way I described. Already the threat of US invasion has a religious pretext of protecting Christians, it's a wonder how you don't see anything wrong with them completely negating the fact of Muslims being victims as well. Apparently, you don't see the sectarian religious undertone to the threats being made

You need to get out of your head and stop assuming things on my behalf, while coming up with confused takes in response to me

IMEI:
I'm a Northerner speaking on behalf of the North, let the country split

You've just proven my point about ignorance concerning the North

Scorpio99:
You are just one insignificant part that your northern leaders do not reckon with.
So, when I say the reason why the north does not want the dissolution of the country, I expect you to understand that it means the decision makers of the north.

Cancri:
God bless American, God bless trump

IMEI:
I'm insignificant but Gbadebo's word is authoritative

The problem is you

Scorpio99:
Spin it anyhow you like.
The cold hard fact is evident.

The leaders made the citizens that way
