If US And UK Can Peacefully Split, Why Can’t Nigeria: Aminu Sa'ad Beli by drfun(m): 10:35am On Jun 17, 2021 |
See what @Aminu Sa'ad Beli wrote on his wall. Moving forward I will start promoting peaceful separation for healthy development. ------------------
SEPARATION IS NOT ABOUT WAR, IT HAS PEACEFUL ASPECT.
In 1776, the USA split from the UK In 1830 Belgium separated from the Netherlands In 1965, Singapore split off from Malaysia in 2002, East Timor got split off from Indonesia In 1921, Ireland split off from the United Kingdom, and (possibly in the future) there will be secession of Scotland. In 1944, Iceland split from Denmark with remarkable ease. In 1905 Norway split from Denmark In 1905, Norway and Sweden also peacefully split ways. One got the car. the other got the kids.
In 1947, the British India Dominion was partitioned into India n Pakistan. In 1971, Bangladesh secceeded from Pakistan. In 1992-93, the two parts of Czechoslovakia agreed to each go their own way. Thus were born the Czech Republic and Slovakia after what's been named the “Velvet Divorce”., About the same time, another kind of separation occurred, of course, in Yugoslavia. This one led to a bloodshed.
in 1965, Singapore split from Malaysia for a variety of reasons, including religious (Malaysia is majority Muslim, Singapore isn't), ethnic/racial (Singapore has a very large majority Chinese population) and concerns over the Malaysian Bumiputra policy, which was (and is) basically a form of "Affirmative Action" for Muslim Malaysians - who make up the majority population in Peninsular Malaysia.
Ethiopia and Eritrea
Sudan and South Sudan are now separate countries
USSR is now broken down into several countries.
I see separation as an avenue for a healthy competition for development as the case of Singapore and Malaysia, India and Pakistan, Norway/Denmark/Switzerland.
In the case of Nigeria, I am sensing a healthy competitive development among the original component part, the North/West/East each making useful progress while competing with the others.
It is not about war after all there is nothing wrong for one to decide he is no longer comfortable with the union and therefore want to opt out.
LETS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE AND SEPARATE HONORABLY.
This is worth sharing over and over again...

THE FUTILITY OF PRESERVING NIGERIA
My angry reaction earlier today on APC UK platform:
Most of the Diasporans here living in Europe. Can you show me one multi-ethnic state in Europe where one group is positioned to dominate the rest that hasn't broken up?
For those who do not know, what you call ethnic groups in Nigeria are called nations in Europe.
There's nowhere in the world where the white man accepts domination from another white man in perpetuity.
It used to be so under the Roman empire and the like. Not anymore. The Communists tried it, dividing society into capitalists and proletariats, deluding themselves that ethnicity is effectively swept under the carpet, but what followed? The Communist edifices in Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and the big brother, USSR, all collapsed, while the two Germans that are ethnically the same but split by communism vs capitalism were reunited. Such is the power of ethnic nationalism.
Czechoslovakia was made up of two ethnic groups, the Czech and the Slovakians. Both separated peacefully on 1st January 1993. The former is today 10.6 million people and the latter 5.4 million. Added together, they're not up to Lagos. Yet, they split for peace. Two masters can't be in the same house.
Yugoslavia in 1991 was 23.2 million, barely more than Lagos population. It broke into six countries same year - all along ethnic lines, namely: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia.
Then the big brother, USSR. It had, at least, the following ethnic groups identified by their languages:
Regional languages:
Ukrainian
Belarusian
Uzbek
Kazakh
Georgian
Azerbaijani
Lithuanian
Moldavian
Latvian
Kyrgyz
Tajik
Armenian
Turkmen
Estonian
Minority languages:
Abkhaz
Bashkir
Buryat
Chechen
Finnish
Volga German
Korean
Ossetian
Tatar
& various others.
Today, your fingers will not be enough to count the number of countries that have emerged from the USSR.
Sit down there and be preaching unity in Nigeria as if you're the kindest gentleman on earth while you have no solution to the genocide in Southern Kaduna, the illegal but officially condoned arms in the hands of killer herdsmen roaming the country, and be condemning those better informed about the fact that the country is undergoing the strains of a forced union and should be peacefully restructured or let people go their separate ways.
In Europe, the two best examples of fairly stable multi-ethnic states are the UK and Switzerland. The former is led by reasonable men who permitted regional autonomy to the Irish, the Scots and the Welsh, while the English dominate Westminster. That's something some of us are asking for, but you're fighting against it in your own country wracked by ethnic crisis. Your own people are better off under oppression of fellow black men because your people have bad leaders who can't do better than their new internal colonisers.
The latter country, Switzerland, has four ethnic groups. Each of them rotates the presidency annually through seven cantons that constitute the federation units. All the four languages of the four ethnic groups are recognized as official languages and school languages to boot, namely: German, French, Italian, and Romansch that has just a few thousand speakers!
There's nowhere in the world where the Caucasians allow the domination of their group by another.
In Canada, Quebec is the only full French-speaking province, aside a little section of New Brunswick. The other seven provinces are English-speaking. Yet, Canada is bilingual for the sake of Quebec! And each of the provinces is largely self-governing.
Here we are in Nigeria, you have people arguing vehemently that a decrepit, structurally-flawed, and crisis-prone artificial contraption badly configured by the British only needs good people to survive. Why not centralise the powers of the British regions to London and see what happens?
My Conclusion: When many commentators read and repost or share your articles with many of their friends and contacts, they do so because they want others to learn.

*Niger alone = 76,363KM²*
*Niger State = Entire Southwest States - Lagos*
*The entire Southeast is a little less than Kogi State only.
Just for our record
The North Has enough land for ranching and cattle colony.
We in the South West have little land mass. PLEASE LET US BE; LEAVE US ALONE TO MANAGE THE LITTLE LAND WE HAVE
*GLOBAL CATTLE BUSINESS: FACT SHEET*
*A*. Top 10 NATIONS in terms of cattle inventory (2017).
1. INDIA 303 million 2. BRAZIL 226 million 3. CHINA 100 million. 4. USA 93 million. 5. EU 89 million. 6. ARGENTINA 53 million 7. AUSTRALIA 27 million 8. RUSSIA 18 million 9. MEXICO 16 million 10. TURKEY 14 million.

*Additional Considerations*:
1. Nigeria is not among the top 20 nations in the global cattle business. 2. Non of the top cattle producing nations create cattle colonies or engage in primitive cattle grazing. All the top cattle producing and exporting nations utilise modern technology and ranching methods to maximise production and profit. 3. Non of the top nations earning billions of dollars annually from the cattle business condone the killing of citizens for cattle. 4. Nigeria's cattle business requires a complete re-think now and not later, for posterity's sake.

The part of about Europe being made up of many nations while in Nigeria the same is lumped up to form one country is the most common reason for Nigeria to restructure. It's hard that a country that has so many Learned colleagues and National Assembly that want to develop can't see the solution that is so clear right before our eyes. The same elite spend their vacations in most of these countries but will fight tooth and nail to stop the same solution back home. Middle East is predominantly Muslims but even they are divided into different countries. If they really want to still be Nigeria then we should look to the USA where each state is allow to autonomous. Make its own laws that doesn't go in contrast to the overall constitution. Allow to develop at their own pace. Sometimes when you think about Nigeria and knowing the solution is just at the turn of the page but the powerful few are so determine not to turn it, it becomes very disheartening. 1 Like |

Nigeria is not even among the top 20? Why then are they using cows to disturb the peace and harmony of the quiet people? What is the essence of the incessant killings?
With these, I think Nigeria too can do the needful. Enough of this bloodshed in the name of One Nigeria. If separation is what will bring about lasting peace, please bring it on.
If the people you claim to be governing turns to the enemies you start killing because they wanted freedom from oppression, what then are you? A leader for real?
Please for GOD'S sake, stop the bloodshed. GOD has visited this country for their too much of injustice and too much innocent bloodshed.
It is quite clear all regions wants to secede. Everyone is already tired of Nigeria. But it seems only those in the government does not. That is the power of minority and power.

Sudan and South Sudan are now separate countries
USSR is now broken down into several countries.
I see separation as an avenue for a healthy competition for development as the case of Singapore and Malaysia, India and Pakistan, Norway/Denmark/Switzerland.
In the case of Nigeria, I am sensing a healthy competitive development among the original component part, the North/West/East each making useful progress while competing with the others.
It is not about war after all there is nothing wrong for one to decide he is no longer comfortable with the union and therefore want to opt out.

Such is the power of ethnic nationalism.
Czechoslovakia was made up of two ethnic groups, the Czech and the Slovakians. Both separated peacefully on 1st January 1993. The former is today 10.6 million people and the latter 5.4 million. Added together, they're not up to Lagos. Yet, they split for peace. Two masters can't be in the same house.
Yugoslavia in 1991 was 23.2 million, barely more than Lagos population. It broke into six countries same year - all along ethnic lines, namely: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia.
Then the big brother, USSR. It had, at least, the following ethnic groups identified by their languages:
Regional languages:
Ukrainian
Belarusian
Uzbek
Kazakh
Georgian
Azerbaijani
Lithuanian
Moldavian
Latvian
Kyrgyz
Tajik
Armenian
Turkmen
Estonian
Minority languages:
Abkhaz
Bashkir
Buryat
Chechen
Finnish
Volga German
Korean
Ossetian
Tatar
& various others.
Today, your fingers will not be enough to count the number of countries that have emerged from the USSR.
Sit down there and be preaching unity in Nigeria as if you're the kindest gentleman on earth while you have no solution to the genocide in Southern Kaduna, the illegal but officially condoned arms in the hands of killer herdsmen roaming the country, and be condemning those better informed about the fact that the country is undergoing the strains of a forced union and should be peacefully restructured or let people go their separate ways.
In Europe, the two best examples of fairly stable multi-ethnic states are the UK and Switzerland. The former is led by reasonable men who permitted regional autonomy to the Irish, the Scots and the Welsh, while the English dominate Westminster. That's something some of us are asking for, but you're fighting against it in your own country wracked by ethnic crisis. Your own people are better off under oppression of fellow black men because your people have bad leaders who can't do better than their new internal colonisers.
The latter country, Switzerland, has four ethnic groups. Each of them rotates the presidency annually through seven cantons that constitute the federation units. All the four languages of the four ethnic groups are recognized as official languages and school languages to boot, namely: German, French, Italian, and Romansch that has just a few thousand speakers!
There's nowhere in the world where the Caucasians allow the domination of their group by another.
In Canada, Quebec is the only full French-speaking province, aside a little section of New Brunswick. The other seven provinces are English-speaking. Yet, Canada is bilingual for the sake of Quebec! And each of the provinces is largely self-governing.
Here we are in Nigeria, you have people arguing vehemently that a decrepit, structurally-flawed, and crisis-prone artificial contraption badly configured by the British only needs good people to survive. Why not centralise the powers of the British regions to London and see what happens?
My Conclusion: When many commentators read and repost or share your articles with many of their friends and contacts, they do so because they want others to learn.
NIGERIA'S 36 STATES & FCT RANKED IN ORDER OF LAND SURFACE AREA (KM²)*

Anambra State 4,844KM² 37. Lagos State 3,345KM²
*Anambra + Enugu + Abia + Imo + Ebonyi = 29,525KM²*
*Kogi = 29,833KM²*
*Ogun + Oyo + Osun + Ondo + Ekiti = 76,320KM²* *Lagos = 3,345KM²*
*Niger alone = 76,363KM²*
*Niger State = Entire Southwest States - Lagos*
*The entire Southeast is a little less than Kogi State only.
Just for our record
The North Has enough land for ranching and cattle colony.
We in the South West have little land mass. PLEASE LET US BE; LEAVE US ALONE TO MANAGE THE LITTLE LAND WE HAVE
*GLOBAL CATTLE BUSINESS: FACT SHEET*
*A*. Top 10 NATIONS in terms of cattle inventory (2017).
1. INDIA 303 million 2. BRAZIL 226 million 3. CHINA 100 million. 4. USA 93 million. 5. EU 89 million. 6. ARGENTINA 53 million 7. AUSTRALIA 27 million 8. RUSSIA 18 million 9. MEXICO 16 million 10. TURKEY 14 million.
*B*. TOP 10 MILK EXPORTERS 1. NEW ZEALAND $4.4 Billion 2. GERMANY $2.6 Billion 3. NETHERLANDS $1.9 Billion 4. FRANCE $1.5 Billion 5. USA $1.4 Billion 6. BELGIUM $1.2 Billion 7. AUSTRALIA $852 Million 8. BELARUS $637 Million 9. UK $569 Million 10. SAUDI ARABIA $556 Million
*C*. TOP 10 BEEF EXPORTING NATIONS (2016).
1. AUSTRALIA $5.6 Billion 2. USA $5.2 Billion 3. BRAZIL $4.3 Billion 4. INDIA $3.7 Billion 5. NETHERLANDS $2.7 Billion 6. IRELAND $2 Billion 7. NEW ZEALAND $1.9 Billion 8. CANADA $1.5 Billion 9. URUGUAY $1.4 Billion 10. GERMANY $1.3 Billion
*Additional Considerations*:
1. Nigeria is not among the top 20 nations in the global cattle business. 2. Non of the top cattle producing nations create cattle colonies or engage in primitive cattle grazing. All the top cattle producing and exporting nations utilise modern technology and ranching methods to maximise production and profit. 3. Non of the top nations earning billions of dollars annually from the cattle business condone the killing of citizens for cattle. 4. Nigeria's cattle business requires a complete re-think now and not later, for posterity's sake.

This fake writer is another illiterate. The UK and US did not peacefully split, they fought a war and a winner declared. The US wasn't even part of the UK, it was a colony of the British. |

For educational purposes, secession is different from gaining independence from colonial masters. So that US & UK reference is wrong. Secession can only occur when the countries involved share common geographical location. While independence can occur even when the countries involved doesn't share a common location. 1 Like |
