It is disheartening to watch on social-media when Nigerians resort to tribal slurs and cruel jibes at one another at the slightest of chance. Ironically most of the jeering participants are often decent fellows offline who have in their close circles as friends people of other ethnic groups.

Nigeria is a mere geographical expression of the British experiment , so opined a leading political figure. Perhaps it was so during the 1914 amalgamation. A casual look at the sociopolitical and economic evolution of Nigeria ever since will lead any honest observer to draw a very contrasting conclusion.

For the Igbos do bound her neighbours in the south south in Abia and Imo and delta states and there has been a cultural and economical entwinement in this region. The Igbos also bound the north/Middlebelt in Enugu,Benue and Kogi states.


The yorubas share a little ancestral linkage in delta and Edo states in the south south and are in an eternal sociopolitical blending with the north in kwara and Kogi states.

All of Nigeria seems to meet in some critical geographical junction which suggests there's a bit of ALL OF US in ALL OF US. There is therefore no clear cut geographical or cultural demarcation for secession or breakup.

Summarily, Nairaland has morphed into Africa's biggest online meeting hub with a very sizable number of foreigners both from Africa and beyond. Disappointingly, this is where Nigeria's most ignorant tribal bigots have chosen to launch their scathing and diversionary tribal slurs..... in front of the watching world.

It should be clear that Nigeria is beyond breaking into tiny irrelevant geographical entities. The civil war failed; June 12 failed and has boko haram .

The destiny of Nigeria -- the very premise by which it became is bigger than any single tribe.

While we berate each other and call one another names, the rest of Africa watches with patience, waiting for us to solve our own riddle and lead the entire black race to its true dignity.

The former United Nation's Secretary General, Kofi Annan in Abuja ,January in front of a world press made a daring declaration : " The destiny of Africa is in the hands of Nigeria".

It is a sad commentary that foreigners have more faith and hope in Nigeria than Nigerians. When little minded, shortsighted tribal bigots ,with no sense beyond the relevance of their tribe, dance in a show of tribal shame, the effects resonate around Africa and the black diaspora. For every tribal cruelty spawned online on the ocean of our national existence, the waves of its

aftereffects is felt in the depths of Africa.

The world is aware of our shortcomings in corruption, government inefficiency but their faith is bigger than our dismays. Because there has been progress -not because of the bigots but in spite of them.

Nigeria remains the only black Country with a fair chance of being a super power, but it will take a united and strong Nigeria to achieve this.

The sooner we shed the last vestige of secession, the faster we shall begin to practice true coexistence with the option of disintegration so far off in the distance of genuine brotherhood.

We can achieve all these without the ibos....let them get their Biafra.....this is their wish and we support them......as a suggestion let them start by petitioning their elected representatives and let those ones start speaking....that is all we ask.....we will support their agitation.....the radio and online Biafra stuff is nonsense....we want the real Biafra and have advised them how they can get it....

This thread stands in clear opposition to your line of thinking. EVERYONE HAS A ROLE TO PLAY IN A STRONG NIGERIA WITH GLOBAL MUSCLE AND POLITICAL CLOUT.

Nigeria is not a Country..it is a man made creation that expired a year ago.

Listen.....iboes are a significant part of Nigeria in terms of population....and they do not want to be part of Nigeria....they want their own country....why deny them that....we cannot have a strong Nigeria which is divided against itself.....let the iboes be serious about their Biafra and go for it.....

I beg to differ. Nigerian has been through the worst and has come out undone. All I see is silver lining and a hope of a giant whose birth was never a coincidence.

Tell me what can break Nigeria that hasn't happened yet failed?

Lol, you will start by identifying them with the correct spelling of their name.....

OK, the voice of a few cannot represent the majority. And there's is much more in secession than mere empty rhetoric of vagabonds who hide behind social media to scream Biafra.

I'm yet to see one igbo leader who has called for a secession without any political calculation to it. Nor have I seen any machinery both political and economical being wielded to achieve Biafra.

So much hate for a harmless post? Are you an inherent sadist or does evil reside in the corners of your soul eating your life away?

No where in my post did I state my region, neither am I a Biafran.

I'm just an ordinary Nigerian who sees beyond the smoke of tribal bigotry to the pinnacle of hope Nigeria will become.

All these people wey dey shout biafra no dey leave for East o(very funny), they either in Lagos or North

Yes, I agree with you......it is more noise than reality......but my point is if the majority of ibos want Biafra......let us allow them to have it....the SW is too congested and it is getting worse... .... ....initially when it started........we were being accommodating thinking we are being our brothers keepers ......but the spat of serious kidnapping in those areas a few years back led to a massive influx of ibos into our lands..... .......and even after the kidnapping was controlled a little by holding their community leaders responsible........the mass migration has continued... ......you need to be in traffic in any city in the southwest and you will not believe the number of them sweating and running after your cars to sell one product or the other even making the traffic jam and accidents worse.....with attendant costs on productivity lost.....and because of the failure of their system....and much frustration....many of them get involved in all kinds of crime...armed robbery.....fake drugs....etc....without conscience ...many consider money in any form.....Business.....you need to go out into clubs/hotels and see the sheer number of ibo prostitutes that litter our cities......meanwhile their leaders do nothing to address their issues and we are forced to accommodate and provide for them in our land even with so much hatred which is nothing to do with us..... .....I swear.....I cannot wait for Biafra.... ......the problem is that once they get Biafra....the ibos are self hating anyway and will start killing themselves but then it will no longer be our problem as long as they no longer wander into our lands.....shikena....

No one is denying the state of Nigeria. But I looked around and I discovered that secession won't solve the problem one bit.

Seems to me your personal life has got more problems than Nigeria.

Your hate is so empty and cheap you're obviously choking in it. Do not use the word coward except in description of yourself. For hate is cheaper than optimism.

you're really one in a kind, if Nigeria has a lot of you at the height of power, this country will progress, but you should also know something, this biafra and zoo issue, I smell foul play sometimes, my mind use to tell me that there are some people hiding under there keyboard to perpetrate this things, God knows them, I don't. they are not really who you think they are.
God bless Nigeria
