Nigerians are foolish people. Still arguing in 2017 about whose tiny little inconsequential tribe is better. Religion and our various cultures distracts us from the real issues. It's funny that some people think that breaking the nation into tiny little tribes will lead to success. Ethnic and religious issues will continue, but the difference is that each tiny little country will have it's own military inevitably leading to frequent small-scale wars. We'll all be back to pre-colonial era... constant inter-tribal war, no long-term peace, no political and economic stability; therefore, no growth and success! There's a simpler way out. Dismantle the stranglehold of religion and create a new cultural identity. Culture is dynamic, not static. It has been done many times in history especially to nations on the losing end of a war. Every little aspect of culture can be consciously modified, even up to the type of food a group of people consume. Intermarriages, migrations via economic development of new areas, common law for all, prioritizing scientific education etc. Huge changes in behavior will emerge within 2-3 generations. At best, the nation breaks in two because the northerners don't seem like people who will ever be willing to shed their culture+religion and fully integrate. These things can be done but we have old useless leaders with zero foresight. 3 Likes |

Exciton: Listen, Nigeria is an artificial creation and will never work until its forced inhabitants come together and draft a brand new constitution on the terms of engagement and nationhood. For now let's continue to pretend and beat around the bush. For example, how would you feel if suddenly I forced you and your neighbors to live in one house without any mutual terms or agreements? 8 Likes |

Fremancipation: That's exactly why I said common laws for all. Of course, our leaders are pretending that all is well and aren't doing anything because they only care about their immediate future. It's a common trait of unenlightened people. Otherwise, they'd already be doing the things I said. 1 Like |

Exciton: Let's tell ourselves the honest brutal truth. The north controls 60% of the house of reps and the senate. They got this advantage through very rigged census aided intitially by the British. The only way for Nigeria not to break up is for them to give up and agrees to a complete and a total restructure of this shittyt country. 6 Likes |

I don't think anyone is laying claim to Izon or Ijaw least the Yoruba. Some Ijaw are in Ondo State but have no land there. Just like Fulani, the Ijaw are migrants in many parts of southern Nigeria and there's no way they can proof the ownership of anywhere in Edo and Ondo state. The coastal areas from Escravos Warri to Edo and Ondo state do not have any Izonland. I do not think Yoruba want to claim Ijaw but has been affirming their kinsmen the Itsekiri. This statement by the Ijaw is deliberate message to Itsekiri and Edo, trying to affirm ownership and I will advise that they perish the idea. Now on a more pragmatic level, who really need who? Compare what ijaw have to the Yoruba in all ramifications, they are not mates;is it productive landmass good for agriculture, population with good purchasing power, educated population, already organized communities in terms of economic power, what are the ijaw fighting for? 1. Crude oil: The exclusive land area the ijaw can claim is Forcados to Bayelsa and maybe some areas of Kalabari in Rivers. They can make do with their resources and lets see how many decades it take them to be like the Yoruba or Igbo. Other ethnic groups have oil too, by the time your Nigeria is fully divided(I don't advocate for such) you will know that Yoruba and Igbo has oil than you can think. This is also applicable to natural gas. 2.Warri: Former oil capital of Nigeria, wealthy oil potentials and location of a refinery and proposed gas FTZ, the ijaw can't claim the one at Porthacourt and so looking at warri will to them be a good starting point. Now, if the Itsekiri should stand with Yoruba it will be zero probability of getting what they want. The Gelegele at Edo is slipping away already and consolidating through Toru-Ibe is a dead dream, the ijaw are led largely by youths who just want economic empowerment but with little grasp of history and diplomacy. What options do they really have if they want an Ijaw country? Live in peace with their neighbors, hold to those undisputed areas and trade away those disputed areas for strong economic and cultural ties because they can't win the Yoruba or the Edo in eventuality. They need to consolidate on their areas in Rivers and Beayelsa else they may be fighting battles against all their big neighbors and they can't win. So, what would the Yoruba want from ijaw apart from oil, don't think there's anything and its not looking like Oduduwa will want to include the Ijaw even though historically the ijaw claim ife and, when the value of oil becomes less and less a driving force, the ijaw will see the light. happy Sunday to all. My take is let the Izon live in peace with all their neighbors, negotiate a confederation with any big side and you will win from both sides. 4 Likes |
