ThankYouGod:
Are you saying we will be like Yugoslavia?

Are you saying we will be worse than we are now?

Are you saying when we are separated, each country cannot find solutions to their problems?
Were those within Yugoslavia fighting eachother before they became one?

Now compare with pre-Nigerian era

Everyone was either fighting eachother or running from eachother.

The Southern Protectorate was like a country with its govt. The Northern protectorate was also like a country. They were merge together for Britain's benefit.

Also, the Benin kingdom, Oyo empire, Kanem-borno empire etc were like countries then and they existed for thousands of years alone before British came so why are we afraid to stay alone?

You seems to be avoiding Yugoslavia and USSR, why?
You see, there was nothing like the southern, Eastern or western whatever, that word is a creation of the British criminals.

Majority were tiny clans, villages, ethnic congregations except for few Kingdoms you listed above.

The ones you listed above are less than 10% (tribes) that makes up the present Nigeria, the rest were mostly villages with knit-tight clans.

Infact the 'Yoruba' which did not exist then were fighting each other before the criminals came.

Everyone was either being the oppressor or the oppressed then. (slave trades, wars, etc)

I did not avoid anything, maybe you're not reading what I am typing, rather looking for what you want to see.

You see how you're changing the goal post?

Tell me among these countries, which of them were doing better when they were in former Yugoslavia as a country?

Bosnia and Herzegovina
Croatia
Kosovo
Montenegro
North Macedonia
Serbia
Slovenia
Change goal post how?

They were not a country then, they were all part of an entity then and had no structure they have now, so no way to compare.

Singapore separated from Malaysia, how are they doing today? Far better than Malaysia.

It is not an assumption because if you take Yugoslavia for instance, the 8 countries that came out are doing better than Yugoslavia.

Tell me a country that broke out and became worse off?
Doing better in what sense?
Can you back this up?
Yugoslavia on its own is not even a country known to have the resources to cater for those countries that broke out and all of them put together aren't even a model to look at when it comes to prosperity.

While I said their status then isn't same as that of Nigeria.

Singapore then was like a country on its own until the British criminals merged them together with Singapore.

But there was no country like Oodua, Fulani, Biafra etc when the British criminals formed Nigeria. More reason I don't think the comparison is justified.

I still support Regional system of government or True federalism.

Singapore was once in a union with Malaysia.
But not as one country, their situation then wasn't like that of Nigeria.

If you notice, most of the countries that broke out of USSR are not known for anything worthwhile.

They are not exceptional either, all of them are not in the league of a model state.

It has most times been the solution. Go and study Yugoslavia, USSR, Sudan, Singapore....they would have been worse off if they remained. Tell be a country that broke out that's doing worse than when it was in its former country?
That's an assumption that it would have been worse since it does not exist for comparison.

Between Sudan and Nigeria, which one would you go for?

What's with Singapore in your examples?

EducationRe: She Was Sacked For Telling Students To Pray For Nigeria by somehow: 11:43am On May 24, 2021
I have noticed that those who keep wishing where they reside bad mostly end up not progressing.

Maybe it's nature's way of giving you what you deserve.

If you keep wishing your child or family evil, evil keeps following you up and down. (Your country is your family)

This is the law of nature and does not listen to any religious affiliations.

Whatever you think in your heart and say with your mouth will one way or the other haunt and come to reality first in your life before venturing outside.

Most women were not created to take responsibility

It's their wiring.

They can't function well if they take responsibility.

But I wouldn't call all of them 'whores'

A LovePeddler took a decision to be one, nothing like accidental 'LovePeddler'!

But there are exceptions, those forced into it with their life at stake, with no way of escaping alive.

So they should also leave their stations or even stop working since they are even being killed in their offices and stations?

You're okay with the killers going about targeting security men. It says alot about your values on earth.

Unknown gun men have been killing security agents at the checkpoints. It is idiotic for any security agent to mount road blocks until they capture the gun men. Not that they are doing anything productive at the checkpoints anyway.

If you hear that armed gangs have been killing people in Street B. Will you venture into that street? If you do, then you deserve no R.I.P
/
And who told you NSCDC mount road blocks?

your comment is actually supporting the killers by making excuses for them and looking for ways to blame the victims.

They are not unknown gunmen, they are IPOB and BSN members, we should stop hiding our heads in the sand.

Ironically, it's people from the region working in the security forces they are killing the most.

Graduates with stellar credentials that reduce themselves to extorting money from commercial vehicles/market women on the highways are dishonorable and deserve no respect. Being unnecessarily sentimental won’t change the facts neither will it bring them back. They can go to Borno and mount road blocks if they are serious. I guess the bribes these ones paid to be posted to lucrative SE have gone to waste.

People never wondered why chief of staff always have a plane clash. Boko haram government is fully in operation. Check all the histories of plane crashes involving security officers are majorly from the arm forces.

There is are Boko haram sponsors and members in Nigeria government of today. They started infiltrating the Nigerian government from the year 2014 now it are everywhere. The police force, Efcc, Dss, house of senate, house of reps, Aso rock, ministry of communication, Npa, army, navy, airforce and civil defence. They are everywhere now. The best for us is to break off the north now.

Brace up everybody!
Azazi died in 2012
This government was not in power then

I believe strongly that most of those sponsoring terror in Nigeria are not even active politicians but with heavy influence in Nigeria.

These people have moles everywhere.

The wealthy of the last few decades are blowing their money to enjoyed life!!! They are face with the reality that since they pack their family abroad; instead of building the country and those children has written nigeria off, they themselves cant move abroad because they can't start to clean and drive themselves and also do oga oga there
You don't have to be "wealthy" to build a good house IMH.

While some like to spend their money on other things and still be seen as 'not rich enough', some prefer to gather their money thereby ignoring some form of pleasures just to build a good home they can always feel fulfilled in.

Don't be surprised that some people living in rented apartments with multiple cars traveling abroad have more money at their disposal than the person who built the house they pay rent to.

Matter of priority and taste.

Maybe they don't just understand the advantages of building a satisfying home.

We need regional system of government

True federalism.

Let every state decide what they want, make the money to fund their needs and wants.

I believe states won't be wasting money on useless things by then and states like this one would be foolish to do what they just did.

This is solely because they are getting monthly allocation!

Rubbish.

True federalism or regional government I stand!

Weird enough, the state is governed by an opposition party member and a former SPEAKER of a whole country!
