There'll Be Another Civil War If Nigeria Breaks Up With Biafra –Emir Of Argungu by KEVIND: 7:28pm On Oct 09, 2019 |
Alhaji Samaila Muhammed Mera, the Emir of Argungu, has warned that Nigeria risks another devastating civil war if the calls for the country’s break up are not halted. The first class monarch and foremost traditional ruler said the nation is better off as one entity. The monarch pointed out that if Nigeria was separated today, each of these ethnic groups would start rising against each other, waging supremacy war and this would lead to another civil war. He said, “I am not a constitutional lawyer or politician. Whatever restructuring would take place in this country, my sincere advice is that we are better off to remain one Nigeria than divided into pieces,” he was quoted by Sun. “I keep on telling my friends in the South-East, South-South regions of Nigeria that it will be a sad day for me whenever any one of them would have to collect visa before they could visit me. There is strength in number, unity. “We are over 150 million now in term of our population and there was a forecast that before end of this century, Nigeria’s population would exceed 300 million making us the most populous nation behind China and Indian. “If you look around the world today, the most successful nations are those with highest population. Like I said, our problem is that we are not patient with our leaders. “Just imagine, if Igbo break away, how many land space do they have? The same thing with Yoruba, the same thing with us in the Northern region. “Every part of this country has something to offer to other regions. We are better the way we are now. Whatever our grievances are, let us embrace dialogue and address our differences. “Whenever I hear our people are agitating for Biafra here, another region calling for break up, I feel sad. “We must not forget what happened to Albania, Yugoslavia, and others when they separated into seven nations. “Their country was the most vibrant nation in Europe in term of economy. But today, they are small nations with inadequate resources to cater for their citizens. “This should be a big lesson to us. If we break up, all of us would suffer for it, because we have many ethnic groups and tribes across the country. “If we were separated today, each of these ethnic groups would start rising against each other, waging supremacy war. “May God forbid, that would be the beginning of civil war. Instead, we should continue to pray for our leaders, unite for the country’s survival and development. “We need to fully tap our potential. We were made to understand that Zamfara state is the richest state in Nigeria in term of gold deposits. “Have we fully utilized this potential? Also Kebbi state is blessed with gold and other mineral resources. “In fact, each state across Nigeria has two or more natural resources that could change the economy of this country for better. We were also told that there are large deposits of gas in the Northeast. “Let us bring all these potentials out, utilise them and I am optimistic that all these threats of breaking away, restructuring and others would be history in our country.” https://dailypost.ng/2019/10/05/emir-reveals-may-lead-another-civil-war-nigeria/ |

Where there is no unity and inclusiveness they are bounds to be wars. The Housa, Igbo and Yoruba must come together to move this country ahead. Anyone one trying to undo the other is calling for chaose 1 Like |

God bless Alhaji Samaila Muhammed Mera, the Emir of Argungu for those words of wisdom. Nigeria is bigger and better together although more should be done to give every every one a sense of belonging. |

It will seem as though since I advised Junaid to jump into the Argungu, the emir of Argungu has seen it worthwhile to get into this Biafran argument ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As I've written previously, the ball is on the side of the court of the north. Igbos have drawn a line. 2023 presidential primaries better bring up Igbo presidential candidates in the major parties, otherwise a chain of events that will lead to the final breakup of the nation would have been kicked off. 5 Likes |

The Northerners are not fooling anyone. They reason they want Nigeria to stay united is not put of love but out of love of "free oil money" Had this Oil been in the North, the North would have declared 'Arewa Republic long before Ojukwu declared Biafra
Somebody should tell this man that Switzerland has a population of just 8 million people and is roughly the size of Abia state and Enugu state combined. Yet Switzerland is the 13th richest country in the world and has a higher GDP than Nigeria. You can have all the land and population in the world, what matters is what you have to offer. Bigger does not always mean better and in the case of Nigeria, bigger has meant disaster Let Northerners stop deceiving anyone, their love of "One Nigeria" does not go beyond 'Oil' 7 Likes 1 Share |
