That’s why sensible southerners who value their future need to start now to demand for a referendum and educate the naive ones still hoping on “One Nigeria” to join the movement….

NetbizBoss:
Anything Nigeria I don't put mouth again. The same Nigeria will collect money to Vote A Fulani Muslim (Atiku Abubakah) to be Nigeria president so that his Fulani brothers will dominate Nigerian Government

Is this man truly an Igbo man…. This is the height of betrayal… What a shame!

If southerners and their leaders were serious, they should've mobilized themselves to present a united front in demanding for an end to sharia as a precondition to remain in Nigeria..... It is glaring that the nationwide islamization and sharia law agenda will be completed by the next northern fulani presidency..... Bala Mohammed's statement should be a pointer to any sensible person that they are now close to achieving their ultimate aim of making Nigeria an Islamic state......

Ttalk:
I've always said it, the Southern leaders are the major problem of this country

I have banned 'SHARIA LAW' in my Country as the president of Burkinanafo.. Captine Ibrahim Traore

Lisa, you made a great point, well said!

Nigerians especially southerners (Non-Muslims) are partly responsible for the horrible mess that Nigeria is today.... Why won't the northern fulani oligarchs be emboldened to continue the push for a nationwide spread of sharia when no one in the south is demanding for a referendum to dissolve or decentralize Nigeria? There is no doubt that Nigeria's islamization agenda has reached it's advanced stage under their noses, it will become clearer when northerners take over the presidency by 2027 or 2031.....

South east remains the only region that understands fully the retrogressive dangerous consequences of "One Nigeria" and why it should not continue to exist.... No government or politician can stop the spread of northern Islamic fulani jihad and sharia law under "One Nigeria".....

Did Jonathan not try as a strong supporter of "One Nigeria" to unite and please everyone including the north? How did his government end....? You need to accept the fact that there is no unity that will allow a true nationalist to succeed as president.... All regions excluding the south east are pretending to accept each other, as if they want the same thing in the open but in secret, they don't share the same values, they want something else that only serves their selfish interests especially those in the north.... If Peter Obi and his party are not vying for power to address this fundamental issue then it is better he doesn't even run in the next election to become president of Nigeria.

hush15:
You talk like this cos you think it is impossible and yes, I am proudly obidient. I won't even shy away from that. However what you saying isn't about Obi.
You think it is impossible such that even an Obi cannot make it happen but i have news flash for you, it is possible if we bold enough to try. Leadership is about setting examples, something Nigeria lacks. We just need someone to show us the way. When people see that it is possible, just maybe, Nigeria will set on a new path where subsequent leaders cannot come and lie to them that it is impossible anymore.

Pressure groups like IPOB remains the best option for the igbos for now because as an advocacy group with international spread, the igbos can channel their agitation beyond Nigeria to the international community, documenting and exposing the unjust treatment, segregation and killing of igbo people demanding for their right to self-determination under "One Nigeria"....

You know that even going through electoral path, Nigeria won't let igbos and part of south south to leave because of the natural resources it enjoys, the north (fulani) will down vote it. Igbos fought a civil war and died over this cause, you should be smart enough to see that Nigeria is a prison, there is no true freedom within it.

I believe that whether you like it or not, the injustice of Nigeria's continued existence is not sustainable, Nigeria will implode at some point in the future and igbos will leave the country ....

This may happen sooner than you expect.....

aswani:
Per the bolded, I wondered when you will seque to the real reason for your post, Ohamdike being jailed.

Why not try the elective route as advised many times by people on here? Here is the blueprint and no need for payment, you are welcome:

Put forward candidates all over Aligbo for elective offices from LG Councillor to Governors. Clearly you will win all the elections so one of your MP's in Abuja will then put a referendum motion forward, after patiently explaining to others about it's importance. Clearly the bill will be passed, referendum in Aligbo will happen, as in South Sudan, and poof, the beautiful Ndigbo nation of the Federal republic of Biafra will be actualised.

No fighting, no killing, no war, nothing. Maybe duscuss a prisoner exchange program with Nigeria where Ohamdike will be swapped with non-Aligbo prisoners in Aligbo prisons in time for him to be instituted as the first and lifetime president of Biafra.

Makes sense doesn't it.

You people in Biafra might need to cope with the not-so-pleasant factor of the presence of Obidients but I am sure you wíll be able to handle them. I thank you on behalf of the rest of Nigeria for taking them with you.

You're funny to think I don't know what leadership entails. How do you think a good leader can succeed when majority of the people are too sectional to accept such a leader? Unless the leader falls from heaven and doesn't belong to any of the existing tribes or religion then maybe he will succeed. Nigeria won't make any genuine progress as a nation unless the truth about its cosmetic unity is addressed. I guess you are supporting Peter Obi to become president. Except Obi if he becomes president won't need to include core northerners and fulanis within his government, I can assure you that Peter Obi will fail Nigerians if he thinks he can fix Nigeria only through economic reforms without factoring in the underlying problem of Nigeria. He will face strong resistance from the north and south west. Nigeria needs a total economic/political power decentralization or outright dissolution for the majority of it's sectional tribalistic people to enjoy good governance and sustainable development.....

hush15:
You have no idea what leadership is about.

I will use a simple analogy to explain and if you still dont understand it, then too bad but note this, Peter Obi is absolutely spot on.

When a lion leads a herd of sheep, they are better off than a sheep lead a den of lions. There is a reason why it is often said, if the head is right, the body will be too.
As bad as Nigeria is, with a good leader, things can get better.

Okay can you expatiate on how one can achieve this using an organized minority?

I guess several groups like IPOB, MASSOB, OPC followed the path of "organized minority", they tried but didn't go far....

Cromagnon:
You cannot unify by force
And oil money will not allow us to go separate so what now

And this is your problem
Thinking you need a majority to do anything




Which court
Who wants to list access to easy oil money


forget majority
All you need is an organized minority

@FSBoperator I do believe that Tinubu's government would've detained Peter Obi if he had any criminal record as a former governor of Anambra state. Obi is not a saint but he kept a cleaner record when compared to others I guess that's why he is a threat to the ruling party.....

I do not want to dominate anyone neither are all igbos interested in dominating anyone in Nigeria.... You are wrong in your submission because igbos are the only tribe that fought a civil war and still fighting till this day to leave Nigeria...... It is your government in connivance with some greedy selfish igbo politicians and governors that are holding the igbos hostage under "One Nigeria". When any agitation is made by the igbos to leave, Nigerian government always reacts violently by killing them instead of listening to them. Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB, MASSOB etc were all crushed brutally by your government. There is no true freedom or genuine justice for the igbo race as long as Nigeria exists in it's current form.

FSBoperator:
You have started today with your usual hypocritical rants.

You accuse others of tribalism for rejecting your purely tribalistic ambition to dominate others and when Nigerians reject you, you begin to cry tribalism is why you are not allowed to push your own tribal ambitions on the polity.


If you are tired of being in Nigeria, just know Nigerians are tired of you complaining on Social media about it.

Start a political movement to get people from your side who will push for your exit out of Nigeria and stop disturbing us with your rants.

How does attacking Peter Obi's supporters in defense of Tinubu help your cause? By doing so, are you not part of those fanning the flames of divisive political conflicts and historical grievances....? Why not use this energy to push for a national referendum that will allow Peter Obi and his igbos people to leave Nigeria.

Mankind2024:
Nigeria is a complex political union of diverse nationalities with deeply different historical experiences and aspirations. To many, it remains a forced contraption of peoples who, in hindsight, may never have been naturally suited to exist within the same political arrangement. In that sense, some argue it resembles more than a difficult marriage, it resembles a union imposed without genuine consent.

I believe the distrust between many Igbo and Yoruba communities, as well as disagreements over the Nigerian state itself, has been shaped by generations of political conflict and historical grievances. These tensions continue to influence public discourse today.

As for the Toxicus Delusionalis breed owned by Mr. Gringory, we are prepared to respond firmly to their propaganda and verbal attacks with equal force in the battle of ideas and words.

Yes, that's why I specifically used the word "root" in describing Nigeria's problem because all you listed as problems (Weak institutions, corruption, compromised elections) exist mainly due to the root problem which is lack of unity and genuine "buy-in" to the "One Nigeria" project. All indigenous people within the geographical landmass we call Nigeria, did not come together to agree to create Nigeria, neither was their consent entertained by the British colonialists that own it. People will need to give their consent before a nation can thrive and referendum remains the best constitutional process towards obtaining their consent..... Any organization or constitutional arrangement that is based on a forced union is nothing but a prison for all parties. Nigeria's unity must be negotiable, it must be based on the consent of all indigenous people for truth, justice, fairness and equity to prevail....

1Alex:
Your post correctly identifies Nigeria's deep divisions, but I think it oversimplifies the problem by making unity the sole issue. The crisis is broader: weak institutions, corruption, compromised elections, and even a judiciary that many Nigerians no longer trust to uphold the rule of law. When justice itself is perceived as negotiable, national unity naturally suffers.

South Africa avoided civil war after apartheid by negotiating a new constitutional order that protected all groups.

Rwanda, after the 1994 genocide, rebuilt by strengthening state institutions, enforcing accountability, and deliberately discouraging ethnic politics.

Czechoslovakia peacefully dissolved into the Czech Republic and Slovakia because both sides broadly agreed to separate.

The lesson is that neither forced unity nor separation is a magic solution. What matters is whether there is a credible, inclusive process that commands public trust.

If Nigerians believe the current constitutional arrangement no longer reflects justice, equity, and fairness, then an honest national conversation, including constitutional reforms and even discussing a referendum, becomes inevitable.

But whatever path is chosen must be driven by the genuine will of the people, not by political elites or ethnic passions.

Building institutions and an agreement that Nigerian people voluntarily believe in and are willing to stand by, remains critical.

Why nothing will change or make Nigeria better is simply because many Nigerians love and cherish lies over truth. In their quest to bury truth, they create a fantasy feel good box of reality were they hope that one day, they will wake up and everything wrong will suddenly fix itself. Many are so lost to this fantasy reality of lies that any thought of effecting positive national change that involves their physical presence are vigorously resisted.

I open this website daily to read the vitriolic tribal induced hateful attacks that Nigerians launch against each other in their quest to superimpose their tribal induced political agenda. You do not need a soothsayer or travel physically to live in Nigeria to understand the root problem of the country, simply coming to this platform for a few days will tell you all you need to know. The sad reality is that majority of Nigerians who should know this problem appear incapable and stupid that everyday they wake up to reinforce it. You may ask, what problem am I referring, it’s simple “Unity”. Any sensible person who can reason very well knows that one cannot make any genuine sustainable progress in an atmosphere were there is no unity, were sectional, tribalistic, divisive impulses and ideals reign supreme. It is common sense but in Nigeria, sadly this is not common. Nigerians wake up daily to this problem, participate in making it worse than go to bed with the hope that tomorrow morning somehow the problem will disappear. They know that they can’t work together as one people under one country, that remaining in it will only harm them but they choose to do nothing about it. Everyday, they are killed, starved, kidnapped, raped and robbed because of this one problem they have refused over their stupidity to address. A self-imposed hopeless vicious cycle that is based on lies and self-deceit.

Keeping “One Nigeria” going has cost the people so much pain but due to their penchant to embrace lies, they have refused to accept this truth or do any thing to address the underlying issue that has to do with unity of their country….. I am not sure whether if majority of Nigerians will ever break free from this lie but it is certain that the only way genuine progress can begin that will benefit them is if majority can accept the truth and stand by the truth which is, “WE ARE NOT ONE PEOPLE, WE DON’T WANT THE SAME THING OR SHARE THE SAME VALUES”.…

When this truth is established nationally, you may ask what is next? Well, it is simple, when a marital relationship fails the natural thing to do is to go to court to part amicably or remain together under new terms, so for Nigerians, the next line of action will be a national referendum on Nigeria’s unity, conducted by a sovereign national conference. This must be conducted to allow each region and all indigenous people to choose, all parties must be given a fair opportunity, equal representation to negotiate their future without sentiment, resentment, fear or prejudice. Just like a court in the process of resolving a couple’s marital dispute, the freedom to leave or stay in Nigeria must be a mandatory option for all regions, all indigenous people as part of this referendum. If at the end of this constitutional exercise, all parties agree to dissolve Nigeria, so be it, everyone go their separate ways with a clear conscience. But if all or some regions make the choice to remain or be bound by one country, then it is certain that at the end of the exercise, the people will get a country and a new constitution that they will be happy with, a new union that will be based on truth, justice and equity.

As long as majority of Nigerians continue to pretend, dwell in self-deceit and lies over the illusion of national unity, they will continue to suffer the dire consequences of remaining in a contraption they imposed on themselves….

I do not pity you or any one still mocking Nnamdi Kanu after witnessing all he said about Nigeria coming to pass…. As long as “One Nigeria” exists and you are in it, you are only laughing at your destruction. Those still doubting Kanu’s warning now, will overtime understand and come agree with him….

Wickedfacts:
1st Christmas. 19 remaining.
Omotosho, you don't know law.

Why are you appalled? Are you not aware that Nigeria's government are the enablers and sponsors of terrorism according to the president of Niger republic, he said that your government benefits from terrorism.....

Jerchance:
Cowards! This is the reason why terrorism can't be eradicated, as they keep giving them soft-landing after taking other people's lives. No one knows tomorrow - they could be a victim of their own policies

Nnamdi Kanu has said all these years ago.... Nigeria's government is a terrorist enabler and didn’t start today but as far back as Buhari's regime.... Why is this thread not featured in home page?

In all honesty, Nigeria needs to be dissolved.

Am glad you are keeping note of time stamps as you witness Nnamdi Kanu’s prophetic messages over the zoo come to pass… Enjoy the ride…

Wickedfacts:
Today makes it 5 months, 1 week and 4 days to Christmas.

The main issue here is that Nigerians are not ready yet to do the needful…. Tinubu and his gang will only get more emboldened in their looting agenda as the situation gets worse…. Nigeria as a country is not sustainable.

AMINDA:
Someone at the top is definitely getting a cut from all these graft. This is the only plausible explanation why Gbaja is still Tchief of Staff.
