Conference Won't Stop Nigeria's Break-up - Bishop by EngrH: 7:03am On Nov 03, 2013 |
Conference won’t stop Nigeria’s break-up – Bishop NOVEMBER 3, 2013 BY LEKE BAIYEWU 47 Comments Rt. Rev. Peter Adebiyi (retd.) Rt. Rev. Peter Adebiyi (retd.) Retired Bishop of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Lagos-West Diocese, Rt. Rev. Peter Adebiyi, has faulted those who do not want the proposed national conference to lead to Nigeria’s break-up. He said there are several indications that the nationalities in the country are living together under duress. He said this was evident in the high level of religious intolerance being experienced, which was reflected in politics. Adebiyi, who spoke on the state of the nation in Lagos on Saturday, said it would be suicidal for him to walk in some places in the North in his robe without being attacked for being a Christian. He noted that such would not occur, if he goes to the North as a foreigner. He said if he was killed as a foreigner from Yorubaland, there would be diplomatic row but if he was killed as a Nigerian, only his family would bear the loss. He identified the born-to-rule mentality of some northerners as one of the causes of the crises in the country. “An average northerner believes that he was born to rule Nigeria and that is the essence of the conference we are talking about,” he said. Adebiyi said, “Sometime, when I see people speak about one Nigeria, I remain silent because I know that Nigeria is not one. We have an agglomeration of nations in Nigeria. I will only go to where I’ll be tolerated. “It is only those who are after money; those who are selfish that say we are a country. How do I call where I’m not wanted my own? Everything is a deceit; Nigeria is a country of great deceit. “It is time for every one of us, if this conference is real, to say that ‘this is what we want.’ If we cannot live together, why can’t I go home? What is wrong, if I say I’m going home?” The retired bishop blamed the failures of the countries anti- graft agencies on lack of political will by the government. He said they were driven politically. He stated that it would be difficult for the head of an anti- graft agency appointed by the President to investigate the President, if indicted. The bishop said, “I was a member of the Code of Conduct Bureau at its inception in 1988; eleven of us were members. I was there for 20 years until few years ago. I cannot say what my eyes saw. At a point, the bureau became a god that cannot bite because the setup was good but the operating value was bad.” |

I am just happy that ppl re beginning to see line of reasoning in Nigeria's breakup. We re not one Nation. At least if Nigeria break's up, d northerners re free to practise there born to rule mentality,sharia, even if they like let them reduce cut of marks of all der schools to zero, we won't be an obstacle. Also I think a referendum is to be held in the states in d middlebelt, those that want to join the north should be allowed to, same goes for those that want to join d regions in d south. As for d southsouth same too, those that want to join the west should be allowed to, same goes for the east. |

Haven't u ppl wondered d reason y other regions when talking abt Nigeria, they say wat we want for Nigeria, but when ppl from d north talk abt Nigeria, they don't refer to themselves as Nigerians, they refer to themselves as northerners, and der is always"what we want for d north".

Dats our problem, Nigerians are very good @ talking about what dey want rather than fight for it. we wait for some1 else to do d dirty job while we sit to place judgement. We all know Nigeria needs to break up we've known dat for 5 decades n within dat tym only 1 men had the courage to fight for that separation. Now every1 just come on media complain n complain n complain n complain. The people in power aint planning for a separation in d nearest future dat is y countries are investing in Nigeria cos Nigerians are going No where. 2 Likes |

The fact that students have been home for about five month now is an indication that NIGERIA HAS NO FUTURE! The opportunity to part ways showed up in 1967. You guys bungled it. So lets remain one Nigeria, whatever that means. Ojukwu must be laughing at some people in French. |

What's d retired bishop's bizness wit politics? Is dis wat he is called 2 preach? Doz ignorant blind followers above av been spewing rubish on a poster who rightly said MOG's hav no stake in politics. Dis is wat d bible refer to as spiritul f4nikation wit d beast! Preachers suddenly assume d role of political activists and der clueless follower apluads dem in thousands! D truth is politics is unchristian in nature n only unbelivers engage in it. If d so called bishop n oda MOG's want 2 play politics, let dem 1st openly denounce Jesus instead of using d holy name 4 selfish interest. As 4 his point, he has no clue because 9ja is beta off united, competing wit d rest of d world. |
