Bollinger: You make a bit of sense, but you're missing the point entirely. The point is that Nigeria is an artificial entity. Where it not for the British, the country we call Nigeria today would NEVER have come into existence by the natural course of history and every ethnic nationality would have been free to pursue its own development goals and agenda to the best of its ability. Evrything that is wrong such as the lawlessness that your Swiss friend witnessed is just a sympton of the Nigerian malaise and not the actual problem. Artificial Countries like Nigeria which lack any real unifying factor always end up disintegrating. The examples are just too many to ignore (Yugoslavia, The Soviet Union, India, Sudan etc) |

Onechancearmy: All great countries have strife. It is normal. Do you think Britain or the united states haven't gone through worse? There are states in the U.S who do not want to be part it's union and go there separate ways. The difference between them and Nigeria is that their citizens don't have to act like animals to put their point across or throw away decency in other to lead their daily lives. |

Eluwilussit: Nigeria is not going to break up anytime soon because there's simply no provision in the constitution for any part of the country to secede. As things stand, the only way for the country to break up is either the constitution is amended and such clause is inserted (and this is a very tall order given the kind of legislooters we have), or the country erupts into another brutal civil war (this will lead to needless loss of lives). People who are clamouring for a separate country are currently going about it the wrong way. All of this starts with the media. First, they need to influence opinions and make everyone (including those who are for and against the prospect) start seriously discussing the unity of the country. Second, petition law makers. Only vote in those law makers who are ready to sponsor or vote for bills calling for referendum or amendment of the constitution. Third, curry sympathy. A proverb says to catch a monkey you need to behave like a monkey. Build bridges among the major tribes rather than spread hate. As it stands, the Hausa/Fulani are mostly 'One Nigeria' while Igbo are mostly 'separatists' with the Yoruba somewhere in the middle. To separate, the Igbo need the Yoruba (of course mutual distrust, age-old rivalry and simple ego will probably make a lot of people kick against this simple 'truth') or at least make a large portion of the Yoruba sympathetic to the cause. Build bridges with the semi-major tribes (the south south and middle belt). Convince them why they are better in a fractured country than a 'united' one. In conclusion, this is 2017, no Nigerian President in their right mind will simply wake up and give order for the break-up of the country. Such a president will be lucky to continue with his tenure that is even if he is able to escape with his life. |

oluamid: I agree with you totally. I wonder how the SE can convince the rest of the nation that fragmentation of the country is good for all. What will be their reason? Any ideas? |

Eluwilussit: The best advert is the condition of the SE. The only thing Nigerians respond to irrespective of tribe or creed is 'success' or the appearance of it. This is majorly the work of the SE governors and states houses of assembly. They should have regional developmental commissions with the mandate to make the SE the best among the regions in terms of infrastructure and economy. Should the SE somehow become the economic capital of the country with the best infrastructure and opportunities for Nigerians without the direct input of the federal government, it will make people begin to wonder what use is the Federal government and why the SE wouldn't be in a better condition if it is autonomous. This is totally doable with the monthly allocation the SE gets at present. |

Onechancearmy: By this logic, there ought not to be any country in Africa seeing that almost all the countries on the African continent were creation of colonial masters. |

oluamid: I see what you mean. It will be nice if the SE governors can get together and develop the SE region. The problem is that I don't see how that can help their cause as regards self-determination. It will only create envy. It may make them more attractive to the minority SS especially, and maybe some minorities in the middle belt. If this happens, I see the core north and the SW becoming stumbling blocks. Unless the SW is willing to pull out as well. It is unimaginable to think that the SW will ever join the SE in their quest for self-determination. Truth is that the SW is very strategic to the survival of our unity as a nation, or otherwise. After all is said and done, I still believe in a viable United Nigeria. A Nigerian State where the tenets of democracy, equality and meritocracy are entrenched and practiced. Our diversity should be our greatest strength with proper leadership. Per adventure a united Nigeria isn't feasible, I don't think it is a bad idea to split. USSR, Yugoslavia etc, did the same. Our unity is very much negotiable. It does not matter what anybody thinks and says. This is my opinion. |
