Apart from an attempt by OJukwu during the war, i have not seen any other attempt to break up this country. Before you blame me, understand that i want a working society. Several countries in eastern europe gained independence in the last 20 years.

My quetion is : Who exactly is responsible for the continued union of this useless thief-ridden corrupt contraption.

If it is the west, WHY ?
If it is the north, How ?
If it is the east, Why and how?

the answer lies in this question; why have you not taken up arms to champion the cause?
or better still,its because you e-warriors haven't actaulised your online fantasies

nigeria is not difficult to break. it is easy, you need to remove jonathan and replace him with another southerner who is not ijaw. replace him with me, and see if i will not break it peacefully. all the north want is oil revenue and since Jonathan is an Ijaw man, he will never give the north . One drop of oil . that is the problem.

North just need oil money and he does not want to give them, that why he does not want to. He prefer the north remain minority to the south. and this is what the satellite pictures show. By the times most nigeria have computer. The north will become minority forever forever forever forever and ever. So he is buying time to make the north minority forever.

Because the real owners of Nigeria do not want a break. Only the lower end of the Nigerian food chain or totem pole want a break.
Only the poor, wretched and disgruntled hopeless want a break in Nigeria.
If you don smell beta oil money. . .you nor go tok of 'break'!
Ask Reuben Abati!

nobody own nigeria. name that person. boko haram

Nigeria is a very, very complex entity. Factors are interwoven- Religion, culture, tribe etc. Funny enough, given the natural geograghical divides in terms of Rivers Niger and Benue dividing the country, it would seemingly be easy to divide the country along these lines, but this isnt the true picture. Infact, it is "Very" unlikely to break-up Nigeria, given the hetrogeneous entity she is. Religion is a key factor here. And the religous structure of Nigeria is more complex and doesnt give room for break-up. What happens to a "christian" indigene from Borno and Nasarawa states etc,that wants to be attached to the North but wants to be associated with the predominantly Christian south? Permit me to say this, the worst thing that can ever happen to any nation is to break-up. Ask Former Russia(USSR), Former Korea, India and Pakistan, and recently- Sudan. These countries know no peace as their countries have been ravaged bt incessant wars by break-up parties. Ironically, the very issue that seems to be tying Nigeria together atimes seems to be the same issue that binding us together. For some people (regions) "the fear of no revenue from oil (in the case of break-up) is the beginning of wisdom."
