While the Igbos are significantly and strongly clamouring for a "Sovereign State of Biafra" the Yorubas on the other hand are agitating for a nation to be named "Oduduwa" and on the other hand the oil rich Niger deltans are on the course for an independent state.

The only entity that still have a vested interest in the continuity of Nigerian union are the northern elites and in all honesty, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to assimilate why this view is so prevalent.

There is no doubt that a breakup of Nigeria would most likely lead to economic ruin for a lot of rich and powerful northerners who could potentially find themselves left behind in a "Landlocked" country with no access to the sea, no oil revenue and a large undereducated population of which an estimated 50% of women have no formal education.
