No Plans To Divide Nigeria - Riley Moore by Moderator101(op): 2:33pm On Feb 07
United States Senator, Riley Moore has cleared the air on reports alleging that the US is planning to divide Nigeria.

In a statement on Saturday, the lawmaker said though he was in Nigeria and engaged in multiple high-level meetings with government officials, the discussion of dividing the country never came up.

He stated that in all the discussions, the idea of “dividing the country has not come up in any serious way”.

Moore noted that:

I have traveled to Nigeria and engaged in multiple high-level meetings with Nigerian officials, the Church, aid groups across the country, and IDPs, to get a better understanding of the rampant persecution of Christians in Nigeria.

In my discussions, the idea of dividing the country has not come up in any serious way. Efforts to embolden separatists hurts Christians in Nigeria - especially in the North and Middle Belt.

A destabilized Nigeria would embolden terrorists and make Christians less safe in Nigeria and across the continent.

I remain committed to working to save the lives of our brothers and sisters in Christ - and for that matter, all Nigerians - suffering from the instability wrought by terrorists throughout Nigeria.

The US and Nigeria have just entered into a security cooperation agreement, and that is an important step in tackling the violence in Nigeria and deepening and strengthening the bilateral relationship between our great nations.

God bless you all.

I don't understand Christians.

Matthew 24:9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake.”
2 Timothy 3:12 “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.”
The Bible is filled with so many verses like the ones above stating that believing in christ can/will cost you your life, yet no christian today wants to die for christ sake?

You are crying for a pedophile president in america to come and save you?

Na Wa O!

Those who misunderstand the language of diplomacy will think he is endorsing one Nigeria.

His response was very deep..

“He stated that in all the discussions, the idea of “dividing the country has not come up in any serious way”.

So the division of Nigeria actually came up at all then.



I so much believe that Countries that uphold Nigerian unity always state it clearly that. “They are committed to the unity of Nigeria” like Britain and other countries always say .. Unfortunately US is adopting diplomacy by not stating their intentions..

he never denied plans of division. He is only warning that sensationalizing it will "embolden separatism" and create tension and instability, and this will endanger the lives of Christians, especially in the north. Do some research. It happened during the partitioning of India and Pakistan.

I wish this whole drama was happening in another decade like the Reagan era.

What I know about this US President and his administration is too sad to say online.
Do whatever to leave Nigeria wherever you see an exit.

Your leaders and your saviours in US are all in a big club. And you're not part of it
Re: No Plans To Divide Nigeria - Riley Moore by LottiOk: 3:05pm On Feb 07
Biko where in his speech did he hint at a future division or where in his speech implies he didn't deny division ⁉️

Go on tell us the things only you can see and hear or are you not the 1 leaving in denial as the evil you wish your country has been denied by the people you hoped would fall for your lies to breakup Nigeria ⁉️

You can't conveniently divide this country without a massive upheaval from domestic and international factions. It would be a messy, if not bloody affair. But not impossible.

The US know this .

What is the percentage of those that are in favour and against the unity of Nigeria ?
This answer will solve your question..

Weather there is an upheaval or not, once the decision of division comes, no amount of chaos would stop the balkanization


It happened in Sundan , Nigerian won’t be an exception

Do you mean Sudan. ?

I hope you see what has become of the south Sudan?
There might be a media blackout but it's dire down there now.

That South Sudan is going through some challenges doesn’t mean that the broken components of Nigeria would suffer the same fate..

Infact, South Sudan would have gone into extinction long time ago if they had not seceeded, just the way some Nigerian Christians are an endangered species in Nigeria today..

For the past 10 years since Buhari came in and opened borders for terrorists till today, just show me a single day Nigeria didn’t have a record of insecurity, just one day

A southern Nigeria will need united armed forces devoid of ethnic sentiment to secure the resulting borders with the North.

Short of that, it's unending insurgency from the North.

Nigeria has not worked since 1960, and will never work. We shouldn't be waiting for anyone to come and divide Nigeria, we should divide our selves and go our different ways

People who will never want an Igbo to be president are now denying persecution againt Christians

We know Igbo is a proxy for Christianity in Nigeria. Keeping the Igbos down is a strategy to keep Christianity down

You don't like them yet you can't imagine a Nigeria without them and will kill to have them in Nigeria

If you are in doubt, show me a radical Islamist that likes the Igbos

Did not come up in any serious way... But did it come up in an unseriouse way? Some people in the country no dey use ear hear say some people Wan leave the British experiment.
Re: No Plans To Divide Nigeria - Riley Moore by Blunt99: 3:58pm On Feb 07
Dividing this country is the only permanent solution that won't politicized the fight against terrorism when separatist countries are threatened.


"Nigeria" is also the reason these Islamic terrorists are motivated:

The biggest country in Africa, with abundance of resources.

Capturing it by any sect is a huge win, strategically, economically, and politically...

If the country is divided, there won't be no much incentives for jihad or any other group.
