Wow, I love this! Online nation, someone should create one!

duro4chang:
I can't blame you. You are working for your slave masters. It is natural, if you don't do it you will die if hunger. Continue, your generation unborn will also serve them. Don't bother to throw off the yoke if servitude

No, blame me o.. Who your blame help? Lol... Nigeria lives! We patriotic Nigerians have spoken!

theFilmtric:
see this one
Yoruba are the only people holding this contraption together
If Yoruba starts clamoring for secession

Not even Dan fodio in his grave can salvage it

On the contrary, patriotic Nigerians are the ones holding Nigeria together, not Yoruba. The title reads: "any Yoruba person NOT happy with one Nigeria...", which is in response to the selfish call for Nigeria's balkanization by some selfish interests who feel their 2023 presidential interests are being threatened.

We patriotic Nigerians are ready to protect our country even if it'll involve the spilling of blood.

Long live Nigeria.

duro4chang:
You are the most misguided person here. You have little or no knowledge of Nigeria and yoruba history.Wether you like it or not one day there will be separation. If you don't like if when the separation comes you are free to go and join your slave masters over there.

Stop ranting... Come and attempt to divide Nigeria let me see.

Long live Nigeria.

True

Wailing wailer... Go to Benin Republic if Nigeria dun tire you. Not our fault you can't compete.

Long live Nigeria.

Those misguided SW clowns calling for the balkanization of Nigeria simply because Nigerians are not ready to make one of them our President come 2023 should pack their bags and go to Benin Republic. Cos not a plot of land will be ceded to any disgruntled element.

Nigeria remains one... No man born of woman can put asunder what the Lord has joined together!

God bless Nigeria!
Long live Nigeria!
