The idea of having a near-perfect country out of a ruptured Nigeria is illusory. The composite parts of the country each contribute to the miasma of confusion that Nigeria is. No single entity is responsible for Nigeria’s problems. All the ethnic nationalities are equal shareholders in the failing of the Nigerian enterprise. There is enough blame to go around.




So, what will change if, for example, there is a south-east state as some are campaigning for? Will the present social order be inverted? Will the internecine hate and wrangling dissipate? Well, for sure I think the current revulsion that some have for the entity ‘’Nigeria’’ will be reserved for the emergent state. Elite corruption and abuse will still dominate the polity because the new order will be from the same predatory gene-pool. Non-ethnic predation will give way for ethnic predation because at the end of day class struggle is not resolved by the unity of language, religion or culture.


As of 2019, 400,000 citizens have been killed in the South-Sudan crisis. Four million refugees created and 1.8 million people internally displaced. The cause of these tragedies boils down to power struggle among the elite who quickly mobilised themselves behind the emergent state to capture power. A country fabled to be a lodestar in Africa and which was to be a compelling argument for splintering ‘’artificially created’’ states on the continent is now a functional example of why breaking up countries in Africa is not expedient.

An often parroted argument for Nigeria’s dissolution is that the country is an inorganic fabrication of the British. Lies, It is nearly impossible to find a homogenous country. The problem with Nigeria, as we all know, is that we are yet to have a people’s leadership or as Chinua Achebe puts it, a leader “humbled by the trust placed on him by the people’’ and ‘’willing to use the power given to him for the good of the people’’.

We are stronger together. This is not a platitude but a fact. 90 percent of wealth of the Igbo is not warehoused in the south-east. The Igbo are a peripatetic people gifted with extraordinary entrepreneurial abilities. They are among the most financially fortunate Nigerians. Nigeria and beyond are their trading arcade. They are in every nook, cranny and crevices in the country. It is unarguable that a united Nigeria is a more viable emporium for the Igbo than a fragmented Nigeria. It will not be the same for the business-minded Igbo with new states emerging from the wreck of Nigeria – the emergent states will certainly want to put up hedges that will protect their own people against outsiders. Where does that leave Chukwuma who has billions of naira worth of investments doting the south-west?

The south-west as well cannot subsist as an island. It needs the commerce of the Igbo, the endowments of the north, and rich cultural and material resources of other groups to blossom. We need each other.

Our diversity should count for something. It should be our strength. We will be the biggest losers if the Nigerian enterprise is liquidated. We must make Nigeria work.

Shut up you ignorant IBO bigot.
1. The economy of Yorubaland is largely dependent on services and significant manufacturing. Indegenous Yoruba professionals and artisans dominate the service sector while Asians contribute most to the manufacturing sector.
2. The IBOs in Yorubaland are mostly visible in certain aspects of the retail sector.
3. Yorubaland economy is powered by the services and manufacturing sectors as mentioned earlier, not by the retail sector. Hence retailing of foreign goods by IBOs is not indispensable.
4. What exactly are the Hausa-Fulani endowed with?
5. Yorubas are the most productive people in Nigeria by virtue of our large pool of human capital (Professionals and Artisans). IBOs are mostly unskilled retailers, while Hausa-Fulani are mostly menial workers.
6. Any ethnic group that disagrees with the above point should prove their position by fucking off Yorubaland.

Logically,they would have to loose something's(temporarily).







But,not all.



The northern part of Nigeria under this form of government tend to actually be the main consumers in Nigeria.

Southerners are just mere producers.



Why it is alism,all states in Nigeria will know where they stand and most important


What do you easterners think you'll benefit from such?

I'll answer that


Ans: NOTHING. Except it is going back to an age of suffering or evolving to a whole new age of technology.


One of the major problems,easterners will face is trust and cooperation amongst one another.

That and other numerous problems to which means of importing and exporting of goods is the second.

BastardWike:
Trash!

The dude wrote a million and one reasons why Nigeria's break-up will lead to our collective doom and ended up by saying we must make Nigeria to work

I was expecting he would have proferred solutions on how to make Nigeria work as he suggested but he never did.

What this writer did is just tantamount to calling a dog a bad name so it could be sent to the hangman. Is South Sudan the only country that got broken up? Don't we have success stories where turbulent countries got broken up and became a lot better? What about USSR? India/Pakistan/Bangladesh? Indonesia/East Timor? Yugoslavia? Bosnia?

Now, let me give reasons on why a broken up Nigeria will be better:

1. Billions of dollars being wasted in a phantom war against insurgents/herdsmen/Boko Haram would be channeled to other productive ventures like education, roads, rails and other infrastructures that will help to boost economic growth.

2. North can still bring its agricultural produce down South, Igbos can still trade in the North and North can still have access to the ports of the South etc. based on existing ECOWAS treaty, it even gets better with the emergence Aftcta!

3. Ethno-religious killings and destructions will reduce to the barest minimum, considering that herdsmen won't be roaming about and destroying people's farms. Sharia will now be fully practiced in the North without anybody in the South complaining and everyone will be mindful of local laws governing each country.

4. Corruption will reduce significantly, because it won't be an open bazaar anymore like it's currently in Nigeria where everyone considers the fleecing of the country as an ethnic duty.

5. It will enthrone good governance and prudence. All these proliferation of unviable states and local governments that only encourage rent seeking economy will be done away with. Puppets being foistered on the people without them having a say on the electoral process will also become significantly reduced.

6. Each emerging nation will build on their strength, eg. Biafra will encourage and put in place policies that will boost trade, SME's and technology. Oduduwa will leverage Lagos to enhance its industrial output. North will focus on agriculture and solid minerals as well as cheap labour to grow its economy while Niger Delta (depending on how they're broken up) can make better use of its oil resources.

Why it is called constitutional government. Assuming we practice true federalism,all states in Nigeria will know where they stand and most importantly,no one will be afraid of any break up.


Now, imagine the Eastern part of Nigeria clamouring for a break up as well.
What do you easterners think you'll benefit from such?

A break up is not what Nigeria needs presently. We need cooperation,leaving tribe aside,coming together like a broom. Both notherners and Southerners in this context.


Northerner's are very good people,same way not all Southerners are good.



From a personal point of view, if given the opportunity. I'll actually go for Peter Obi and Osibanjo.


Why? Cause they have the qualities required of leaders.

Choose sound people with one voice and watch even the northerner's root for them.
Buhari isn't a northerner,please be guided.





What am I driving at.
If Nigeria break's,South easterners will be at the very loosing end and westerners will follow suit.


Northerner's already have feeding bottles stuffed into their mouths. Their only limiting factors are just illiteracy and ignorance.

MrMaestro:


This is quite clear. The Yorubas are far and away the leaders in IT and Software Engineering. Not to mention data science, artificial intelligence, and even cryptocurrencies. The continental african artificial inteluligence association is headed by a Yoruba. It's quite clear that on division, Oduduwa will reignite a modern version of the ancient Egyptian empire. Mix of Science / technology with spirituality and the arts.

We'll immediately partner with Japan or Germany. As they are small enough to not pose a colonial threat, and have aging populations. While we have an extremely large youthful population. Their mastery in science and technology and their hard work culture is definitely something that can enhance the Yoruba culture, not bastardize it.

Judybash93:


Well, in relation to this, is there any other evidence apart from anecdotal accounts from the Bible to prove that the Hebrews were at a point in Egypt?

Mecka:
false. The tomatoes, rice, beans, yam etc where is it coming from? Are you aware the produce what we eat becos their soil is fertile. I'm not a northerner oh but am just stating the facts. Learn to say thing it is and stop peddling fake news.

And you think Nigeria breaking up will be the best way out??

SMH

Why not root for con federalism instead??
I mean,that's the surest way out.


Or vote in competent leaders?



Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria.


Because,the citizens don't even know that they are the government. Yes,in a saner clime,the government listens to the voice of the people not cabals.



If Nigerians decide to go there separate ways,no one is going to enjoy more than the other, especially Igbos.



Even the Yoruba's will be worst off cause they have nothing to hold on to except the available sea ports.

But then again,what's the use of a market when you don't even know how to carry out common business transactions.

Danzysb:

The point the Hebrews were in Egypt in the Bible,is not an anecdote.
It's very serious,there are other verses in the Bible that even refer to that period...and you should know that it is from that point that the Hebrews were slaves in Israel,that God had to send Moses to lead them out of slavery in Egypt there through a long journey of 40 years into the promise land we know today as Isreal.
