Most of the core problems Nigeria faces...

Are the divide and rule problems. With will power a good leader can unite and tackle our problems while focusing on our strengths and shunning corruption.

No one cares about ethnic differences of a country is prosperous and working.

Poverty is an amplifier...if the core problems remain even brothers would fight each other daily!

Ttalk:
You are not making sense.

There's no guarantee that being together will ever make Nigeria prosper regardless f who rule.

Our best bet is outright dissolution.

The killing and hate is too much

brain54:
Is there a guarantee that things will magically get better when there is a division...?

arewafederation:
How does this make sense to you?

stanluiz:
Division will make solving our problem easier.

Nigeria is country of many nations.

In the end...


What everyone - the hausa, igbo and Yoruba wants is a comfortable and prosperous living.

Religion can be a tool in the wrong hands. It's like opium. They are Muslims in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait etc that are liberal minded.

Everyone wants freedom.

The melting point is tolerance. A prosperous nation will naturally create room for tolerance.


An hungry man is an angry man and would fight with you over the slightest and flimsiest reason!

Good leadership is the only solution...


Show me any parts from the east, west, South and north that has faithful and accountable leadership where they care about the citizens in their domain and I would agree with you that division is the only solution.


They are all a bunch of failures with selfish and insincere missions. It's people that make up a country and not country that makes up people!

Someone asked you (earlier) if you are willing to jettison your ethnic identify to adopt a Nigerian identity . A simple Yes/No question but re- read your response above and tell me how you have answered a straight enquiry?

I, and i believe, am not in the minority, have no desire or inclination to drop my yoruba identity for nigeria. That's all i know (my yoruba identity) since from birth and it has stood me in good steed, over the years.
How the hell, am i supposed to drop that (id) for a nigerian identity that i know sweet fxx.xx all, about?

Btw, what's nigerian value system? Nigerian culture, pratices, spirituality, cuisine, history, worldview ati bebelo? Maybe, you don't care about your ethnic identity but there are many "nigetians" who are very patrotic about their ethnic nationality and are not ready to drop it.

As per your able-leadership idea - omo, una go wait tire o! After 65 years of co-exitence, we have not been able to produce that able leadership, you suggested. Are you saying we should wait for another 65 years to find that strong leader that will "unite" us, however, in the interim, fulanis are slaughtering everybody else in the coutry, for sport but sadly, there seems to be no way of stopping them.

I will hate to imagine, how many of us will be left with the rate of killings, extantly, in 20 years.

chiagozien:
You can never get good leadership in Nigeria, that how it's structured.



As for your question,it boils down to the structure called Nigeria.

Until Nigeria divide, you will keep getting that set of leaders.

The reason I told you earlier that leadership is not Nigeria main problem,We don't share common value system is the main problem.


Good Leadership where if you criticize the leader,his tribe men will see it as attack to their tribe.
They will defend him even when he is wrong.

A country where there can't be revolution and the leader are comfortably doing what they like because no fear.

A country where common protest against police brutality (ENDSARS) was given a tribal tag, and Igbos blamed.

A country where military Men will organize a coup it will be tagged Igbo coup because the person that lead it is from Igbo(Asaba Delta State)
But other coups by Nigeria military were not given any tribal tag.


Don't go the area of governors, They have the protection of your Nigeria federal government, and his people can't challenge him,if they do,he will simply go to Abuja and they will give him hundreds of soldiers.

A Nigeria if you vex and decide to remove the underperforming governor, Your federal government and INEC will be there to decide.



Until Nigeria is divide,it will keep getting worst.



Do you think if Yoruba have a separate country, that they will be defending Tinubu even when he's not performing well?


Do you think if North have a separate country, that they will vote buhari second time to destroy the country to the level he did?


Answer the above question if you are replying.

brain54:
It takes only one sincere person to restructure the system...

You keep talking about value system and I don't argue about that it's necessary ingredient to unite all but value system don't fall from heaven. It's created.

Tell me the value system of the hausas, igbos and Yorubas that sepretes all of us from each other that would guarantee a better unit of smaller ethnic nations if divided?

Or we would need to find and create it when the time comes?


Problems are inevitable in life there is no utopia anywhere that's when patriots step in to solve those problems.


When you divide and go separate ways when other problems start arrising will you break up further to smaller units or stand up to solve them or you keep breaking up.


Problems don't solve themselves by running away from them. Rather it seems like a cowardly thing to do.


The core of our problems like I insist is leadership and we would keep having same issues without solving it whether you break the country up to smaller individual family units as countries or not!

brain54:
I didn't see any such question directed at me...

If it was somewhere maybe I missed it. I'm talking about the ethnicity question of I am willing to give it up.


So here is my answer even though I don't know the context in which it was asked but if you put it as straightforward question as that then yes I would. I see a bigger picture and not small ideas.


It's people like you not ready to give up your individualism or ethnicity that constitute part of the problem. The truth and my argument is that even if they is a division of the country people like you with the same mindset will look for further reasons yet to further break into smaller units or family units until you eventually would have to leave in isolation.


No one is asking you to give up your ethnic nationality by the way to form a bigger and better union that would become even more advantageous. That's where people like you get it wrong. They would always be people different from you in beliefs, cultures and every other way you can think of.


The idea is just to find a common ground to live with them tolerantly.


Think similarities rather than differences as they say they is unity in diversity!

The Lord created me, as a yoruba man. If he had wanted me to be a Nigerian,he surely havr fone so. Btw, what's your ethnicity? It can be much if you are so willing to let go of iy for a "nigrrian

brain54:
Lol...


I honestly feel pity the way some of you reason.

I'm sorry to say that and don't mean any insult!

T9ksy:
Am sure, you know where to stick your unsolicited "pity".

Fenrir:
.

You say homogenous nations develop faster. That can be true when the people have a functional social contract. Nigeria does not lack homogeneity. It lacks honesty. Even within individual tribes there is nepotism over competence, lies over responsibility and personal gain over community interest.
