₦airaland Forum

A delegate to the National Conference and Chairman of the committee that laid the framework, Senator Femi Okurounmu, has declared that Nigeria’s breakup is inevitable.
While giving his reasons, the former lawmaker said it is not compulsory that Nigeria will remain as one nation, noting that the northern region has been oppressing other regions since independence.

Reacting to a recent statement credited to the British High Commissioner to Nigeria where he was quoted as saying that his country will not allow Nigeria to tear apart, Senator Okorounmu said that the Britain is the major problem of Nigeria.

According to him, Nigerians are now fed up with the British-forced marriage of different entities in the country.

He told Sun, “It is possible for Nigeria to break up, we can’t continue this way and expect people to remain silent. As long as we don’t have equity, fairness and justice in the polity, if Nigeria wants to break, let it be so.

“Forget whatever the British High Commissioner was quoted as saying. It’s even these British that are the architects of Nigeria’s problems. The British caused most of our problems.

“On the eve of independence in 1959, the British colonialists rigged the pre-independence election to hand over power to a Northern political party, the Northern Peoples Congress, NPC, and since then the North has been oppressing other parts of the country, especially the South.

“For the past 57 years of independence, the North has been oppressing other geo-political zones. But for how long will this injustice last, and for how long will other Nigerians continue to tolerate the north’s dominance and oppression?

“One thing I know for sure now is that many Nigerians are tired of this British-forced marriage of different entities and nations called Nigeria, and this is why some are clamouring for self determination. Again, as long as we fail to restructure, the possibility of Nigeria breaking up is a reality.

“It is not even compulsory that we must remain as one nation, especially if one region is bent on keeping others backward. We need to return to a true practice of federalism, as it was in the First Republic. The North is dragging Nigeria backward.

“The current unitary system we are practising which the Northern military leaders foisted on Nigeria is dragging us backward. We should return to true federalism as enshrined in our independence constitution.”

What Ojukwu saw early in the morning, Awolowo couldn't see in the afternoon.

What Nnamdi Kanu saw in the evening, some people from the south west are still arguing it till this night!

Bring it on!

Frankly speaking ehn, I don't really mind breaking up Nigeria so far it will be done without firing a single bullet...

Sometimes I laugh when some people think that this country would last for ages. If we are divided like this just after 57 years of independence, then what would happen in the next 100 years when people must have been highly exposed and enlightened.
?

The earlier we go our separate ways now and avoid more killings, hatred, unpatriotism and marginalisation, the better.
Nigeria is just postponing the inevitable.
As for Nigeria to last for centuries.. IT'S VERY IMPOSSIBLE. I repeat .. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE !!.

I pity some poor people on this forum shouting " one Nigeria ", your own case would be worst because , you are creating more problems for your children and generation to come. You and your children have no place to run to when things gets out of hand, unlike the rich ones that can easily fly out of this contraption when things are becoming unbearable for them which has started happening already.

Imagine some people getting furious when you address them as Nigerians...
What is left if not disintegration ?.
Let's stop deceiving ourselves and call a spade a spade. We are not united and can never be.

It will even be better.

ok

Hw much is garri now

Okunrounmu should go and sit down somewhere. He was a senator during Osoba's first term. He lost woefully to unknown person cos he didn't perform.

nations ar formed by pipul of similar culture n background coming togeda into a union like wat happend in america. not like d fake one forced fully joined togeda by federick lugard.
nobody in america need to sing "one america" every day like d case in dis cess-pit cos every american feel he/she is part of america. their patriotism to america as citizens was not by force, it came naturally. why will america not develop like it is today u can't force patriotism on pipul who do not see demselves as nijeriyans.
americans live as a united nation, free to practice their religion in peace, unlike northern nijeriya were christians ar persecuted n massacred daily cos of their faith. Americans have a sense of nationhood wia every american matters whether d pesin is from alaska or hawaii. thus every american is proud to be an american. dis is how nations ar formed. can d same be said for nijeriya definately not.
compare d rise of nations from europe to america n u will see nijeriya's problem. dat some pipul have to beg nijeriyans to live as "one nijeria" every single day for d past 50 years goes to show dat d con3 itself is not one.
d massacres currently going on all ova d con3 especially middle belt by terrorist who feel d con3 belongs to dem is by far enough reason for d con3 to break. who will want to live with unrepetant murderers as one nijeriya God forbid!
nijeriya's disintegration is inevitable. as it was in former yugoslavia, USSR n sudan, so shall it be in nijeria.

He didn't perform because the laws he met are completely flawed. Nobody can perform with these set of antiquated laws made TI favor a few. How successful is your current "sinator"?

Na now dey break abi?


Happy birthday to captain John Obi Mikel.

I know some ewedu yoru-muslims will lampoon Femi for saying the truth that everyone knows. Ewedu muslims don't believe they can survive without the north who even see them as inferior muslims. Tufiakwa!

The America you are quoting had their own version of ipob and civil war before they could knock sense into the skull of separatist by the force of arms. Try your luck you might do better than the American ipobs

Are you for real? No wonder Al mustapha floated a new party. I am very sure people like you will definitely support him

Many people no longer see them selves as a Nigerian

Bros, when the time comes, some people will want to keep the south by force and a few bullets will be exchanged.

I just want the south to keep getting ready and meeting with stakeholders to iron out a workable constitution for a true Federalism to thrive in the south.

If southern Nigeria were a country, it's human development index will rival Brazil or Argentina.

Of course you can't because if you do, your ewedu-stained lips will get some pummelling. Nice decision from you.

2003 election was rigged.

Even that year ogun presidential election result was cancelled by the court because of outrageous rigging.
