Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Obadiah Mailafia, says Nigerians have a right to decide whether to stay together in an entity, or go their separate ways.

Mailafia who was a participant in an online talk show, ‘The Toyin Falola Interviews,’ with the theme: ‘Nigeria: How to Fix a Failing State,’ on Sunday, also said the “ordinary people” in the country do not have issues with each other, but the problems they face come from the elites who use them against one another.

“Nigerians have a choice to stay together as a nation or to be divided. It is in the hands of Nigerians. For me, it is better to go separate ways if that will bring peace,” Mailafia said when asked about the continued existence of the country.

Commenting on the problems facing the northern part of the country, the former CBN Deputy Governor noted that the “peculiar disease” facing the north is perpetuated by elites who do not like the country.

“We have a peculiar disease in northern Nigeria perpetuated by elites. They are very bankrupt, they are very jaundiced, and they hate the country.

“That is what I’m beginning to see, because with all these killings, they are not talking. But when you open your mouth small, they say ‘who told you to say that?’

“I’m a village boy. I like to listen to people in the rural areas — the ordinary people — and they have no problem with each other. The Fulani that live in my area, they speak our language.

“So, if we are going to keep slaughtering each other, then it is better to separate every side and then on their own, the Middle Belt could decide who they want to partner with and join Yorubaland, or Oduduwa and Biafra to become another country.

“Let that be their free choice and referendum. This would be an option, instead of slaughtering each other.”

The North will never let that dream to come to pass.....


Their best shot is to restructure this country.. But their delay to restructure Nigeria is to see fit the other means that they will come up with that will still place them at the beneficiary side of all goodies from the country...

Anyway, if the restructuring won't hold..... breaking free will be the last option and by that time, it'll be very hard for the North to bond the country. ...

everybody don tire, few are speaking up.

Southern Politicians are not interested in the dissolution of Nigeria.

I wonder. Is marriage by force? We need to go out separate ways... that's that.

Seun are you hearing intellectuals who are seeing the bigger picture?
Stop fighting for one Nigeria when you know that your peoples blood will be shed to keep the one Nigeria.
Its time to stop deceiving ourselves and embrace the reality.
