the writer of this article has re-echoed some of my thoughts. nothing will change in this country unless we the citizens decide to take our destinies in our hands, damning consequences and forcefully revolt with this useless politician for our rights. until then nothing changes, the status quo will still remain. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Hmmn, Passionate write-up...albeit its lengthy form. While I sober-reflect on this .....the writer failed to explain how education will bridge & liberalize the so-called class system. It goes with the reasons you brought forward..how will a graduate of a third world University with a strike-ravaged academic calendar get to favourably compete with those ivy league schools.......I daresay you made points, however not in entirety. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Finally, the secret is out. Glad you just woke up. When studying in UK, we were all a small club of Nigerian kids. Tribe didn't matter, what mattered was your last name and dad's bank statement. Most of us flew back to Nigeria every two weeks just to run errands. Today. We rule. Not by choice but because of the precedent laid by our forebears. @Op please don't whine about it. Just concentrate on laying a solid foundation for your own offspring. This is not uniquely Nigerian, it happens all over the world! Even now, do you think Obama's kids will be rejected by any US Ivy League college? No, they have an express way in. I'm from the South but some of my best and closest friends are northerners, we schooled together. No matter the unrest in Nigeria, I'm safe with them and they with me. It's the 'masses' that kill themselves. Merry Christmas. 17 Likes |

dmater:The write-up is not about Kanu. Who are Kanu's people you are talking about? Certainly not me. Where is the land borders of your Biafra. You belittle the survivalist and success driven concept of the original Biafran ideology when you line up without a plan and without cohesion and without direction. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Chubhie:True if need be. Most good or great tins don't come cheap. a times it can be very expensive. but the question is; are Nigerians willing to pay the price even if it means blood to have a better country for posterity. until we develop that iron clad will and determination, our politician will keep taking us for a ride. 1 Like 1 Share |

Mikollon1:common u already what a better country means. in the sixties and seventies countries like south korea, Indonesia, singapore, Brazil, south Africa and even China could not be compared to Nigeria talk less of Ghana or Kenya. But today, same can't be said. which is to show that bad leadership is the worst thing that can happen to any country, to me I consider bad leadership worst than conflict. becos it's effect is pernicious. a country with issues of conflict but has good leaders will develop faster than a country with no issues of conflict but with rotten leaders, if in doubt check out Israel. 2 Likes |

I have never heard so much nonsense in my life. Everybody knows that the problem in Nigeria is down to tribes. The last election is a clear indication..it was won purely on tribal lines Yoruba and Hausa the entire South East was excluded. Which is why Buhari finally got into power because Tinubu got the Yoruba to join him. How do you explain that the Igobs have only been in power for 6 years out of 55 years since independence 10%. Until the problem is fixed Nigerias progress will be hampered. Lets not fool ourselves...IT IS A TRIBAL WAR SILLY ! |

The purpose of this is to rally the "populis", I guess. But you can achieve that without the whole shebang of half-truths and conjecture I just read. The issue with Africa, not just Nigeria, was birthed by the "scramble for Africa" that culminated into the Berlin conference of 26 February 1884. Vertical partitioning and foreign selfish influence did us in. The white man and his selfish whims have since left, but the damage is already done. We are a mismatch of all sorts who don't necessarily mix. This is not the big issue these days, except it laid the foundation for the Banana Republic that we are now. And If you must know, secession is not the solution to our problems. The secessionists can please rest now. Indiscipline, nepotism and injustice is the issue. Tribalism and sectionalism too. We need to come together to pen a common law to guide us in nation Go back in history every great nation was formed through the unification of kingdoms. A leadership rallying the people to seek common good. Don't go any further than Mao Zedong (China), Lee Kuan Yew (Singapore), Gandhi (India) etc. Sadly, we are yet to learn. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Igbo boy here and the OP is spot on. Should Biafra secede who do we think would rule the nation? the same corrupt bastards like the Ekweremadu's, the Iweala's, the Ngige's and the rest of them. I am all for Biafra but first things first- how do we get rid of the elite that has been syphoning the funds and resources meant for the people? Its not a situation unique to the igbo's, should the Yoruba's go on their own they would have to deal with the elitists - the Tinubu's, Saraki's, Otedola's etc. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

The recent SOCIAL MEDIA AGENTS OF CHANGE party or whatever that was is a stark reminder of the class war situation in Nigeria. The average poor guy was willing to kill himself for "change" but at the end the "influential and rich" people where the ones invited to the change party that took place in Aso rock. 3 Likes 4 Shares |

Although this insightful writeup finally made front page. Most Nigerians won't follow cos it has Nofin to do with celebraties and many after reading won't understand due to prejudice. Others will quickly take side and want to defend the the norms. Nigerians are Unique! 4 Likes 1 Share |

Indeed a wonderful piece but it's not a new thing to me. One major problem we have in this country is illiteracy everywhere. Illiteracy can be traced to the problems with boko haram, election violence, and a whole lot of other problems we experience as a nation. When our politicians want to contest for elections, none of their children casts a single vote for them because they're all overseas for solace, whereas the jobless and illiterate masses are the ones who kill themselves for the politicians. No matter how poor and underdeveloped we say the North is, the children of politicians still bag degrees from Ivy league colleges. Everyday of my life I thank God for using my dad to open my eyes to the benefits of education and my kids will definitely get to the zenith of any field they delve into. The truth be told if 50% of Nigerians especially the youths are well educated, 50% of Nigeria's problems (economic, security, etc) would be solved. Once again nice piece Mr. Smoke2015 |
