Sharing a country with the barbaric north is a huge mistake. They're the main root of all our problems. And it is heart breaking that Yorubas blindly support them! So for these reasons, it is only prudent for the Igbos to dump Nigeria. The Nigeria project is totally a failure. Let Igbos go!!!! 8 Likes |

lightblazingnow: While I agree with most of your points, this one does not follow, you cannot compare a state-owned assets such as oil with an individual's business such as cattle-rearing. In modern times, countries don't go hungry for lack of farmers but for lack of money because their are producers who can produce at scale provided a country have the means of buying. 4 Likes |

A lecturer gave his students a group assignment titled "Does History repeat itself" to determine and come to the next class with their findings. The students after studies research came to this conclusion. "HISTORY DOES NOT REPEAT ITSELF BUT DOING THE SAME THING THE SAME PRODICES THE SAME RESULT" If Nigeria must be better the change we need must not Br unconnected to restructuring or at best disintegration! It is Godly as no Nation has ever remain united forever. But pls let's handle with decorum and respect for life and rule of law. Thank you. 1 Like |

the only option for Nigeria now is to break up cos clearly the Northern part of Nigeria does not see the people from the south as equal and one entity, they are so tribalistic and display religious fanatism. Just imagine the idiot called Buhari calling people from the south 5% percentage ontop our oil wealth that was used to save his life. Let us break up and they should go back to their groundnut pyramid and let us see. Bunch of ingrates 5 Likes |

mr OP and every other patriots on this thread should ponder deeply on warripikin contributions and submissions. alot of groups feel shortchanged right now. until there is fairness and equity. better standard of living (one Alhaji once told me nigerians are living like animals compared to other africa countries ), there will continue to be cries for breakup. everyday on NL I see peeps spending/wasting their energy trying to claim superiority over other tribes making same mistake (exact cause of the horror Rwanda genocide). history should be brought back to schools to prevent repitition.. .. instead of them to use their mind to create solutions to naija problems to make her better. |

You can't defuse and dismantle an ideology with lies. Your submission is clearly mistaken on so many points that it come off as an opinionated rant rather than an intelligible and educated piece.

Land is a Resource Fossil fuel is a reigning natural resource and has been extremely valuable within the last two centuries for its use in providing the energy to drive engines. There are numerous other natural resources obtained from the land, but one has to have the land to begin with, before attempting to find out what it may contain. Land is a natural resource of profound importance, after all it is the pieces of land joined together that make the world and the land in your hold is your own share of the globe - at least in physical and geographical terms. We all know the importance of land and what misery and conflicts arise from the quest for it throughout history. We can safely say that a large proportion of wars fought from thousands of years of man’s existence were related to land - a resource worth fighting for; to concur, to ward off invaders or to physically settle a border disputes. In recent history the colonial wars of the 19th century and the on-going Middle East conflict are perhaps the most well-known to our generation as examples of territorial wars where the goal is land as a resource. Nearer home in Nigeria land disputes are so common you can assume that a couple of disputes are going one point in time somewhere in the country. The 1995 Aguleri/Umuleri land dispute claimed thousands of lives and the land related Ezillo/Ezza conflict in Ebonyi state claimed 150 lives in 2010 and 66 lives in 2012. Land disputes occur even within families often with serious consequences. These few illustrations are just to remind us how precious land and territory is to the humankind. In relative terms northern states of Nigeria have abundance of land resource occupying 79% of the 923,768 square kilometres that make Nigeria. Oyo state for example, is the state with the largest land area among the southern states with 28.454 sq km but only bigger than 6 of the 19 states of the north and actually less than half the size of Borno or Niger states. Niger state (76.363sqkm) is 2.6 times the size of Oyo state and 10 times the size of the largest South Eastern state of Enugu (7.161sqkm). The total area of the entire five states of the South East, add to only half the size of Borno state.( Those five states of the South East constitute only 3.1% of the total area of Nigeria and yet according to the last government’s body language they are the favourite for creation of additional states in the country even if only one is decided on.) With the rather egocentric concept of “resource control” as the vogue in the Nations politics the North must start thinking of how to apply resource control to its expansive asset and of course how to explore and reap the related fortunes. We know that there is no state in the country, north or south , that does not have confirmed mineral deposits under its grounds. A few examples in the wide expanse of land in the northern states are; Iron ore lead and zinc in Benue, Uranium, lead and Zinc in Bauchi, Copper and glass in Kano, Tin columbite and tantalite in plateau, Sapphire, aqua marine, gold etc in Kaduna. Gold and lead in Sokoto kebbi and zamfara. The effort to refine the crude gold mining going on especially in Niger and Zamfara states is a welcome development. We need the support of expert mining countries like South Africa, Chile, China and Australia. Closely related to land size and climate is agriculture. Despite the years of neglect of the agricultural sector development, farming is still the greatest employer of the labour force especially in the north. Although less than 25% of the arable land of the north is used for agriculture, millions of tons of food and cash crops are produced annually by mainly scattered peasant farmers using simple non mechanised tools. The potential for agricultural development is really immense and requires the will and the planning to execute. Coming back to resource control, will the north allow free access to it’s own resource (land) by the resource control advocates? Will the cost of land rented or owned be the same for a Nigerian from the resource control zone and the one from another zone? What about other businesses, education, industry, mining estate management, transportation and local air travel, will the taxation be varied as a response to resource control? Many northerners are of the opinion that the resource control advocates cannot have free access to these resources in the north and they may have to compete in global terms with the Chinese, the Indians the Lebanese etc. for the northern market and other resources hitherto taken for granted. After all, as one child will say to the other, you cannot hold on to your ice cream and still expect to play freely in my fathers vast garden. Another area to look at is The Federal Capital Territory’s 7300sq Km which was curved out of the states of Niger, Kogi, Nassarawa and Kaduna. Could these states not be compensated for such resource provision to the nation? The federal government should perhaps return the land to these four states and get it back as negotiated rent in the spirit of resource control. I believe that the north has more potentials that many of the chest beating separatist, the north should not persuade anybody to stay as Nigerian. They can start by withdrawing their federal ministers,federal legislators and all federal government employees including the police and the military and start moving their businesses ,their property and families back to their ethnic enclaves. Then and only then we will know that we they are serious. We are tired of these empty threats. I challenge you to start moving as above. 1 Like 2 Shares |

The only hope for Nigeria to still remain as one is TRUE FEDERALISM. We have less than 30 years to coexist with this our current system. Anyway, the center is becoming weaker and all the tribes will have this serious talk in a round table whether a section of Nigeria likes it or not. Men of 1966/67 are getting old, these men are sworn unitarianists. Obj, Buhari, IBB, Gusau, Danjuma etc are getting weaker politically and physically. Their last political fight will be in 2019, by 2023 they won't be able choose who the president will be because they must've lost their powers by then either due to old age,ill health or death. We must devolve powers from the center to the states if we must survive and thrive as a nation. Failure to do so will give birth to more deadly Tompolos from all the tribes in Niger delta, many different militant sect in the core north, Christian militant sect in the north/middle belt, Nnamdi Kanu successor who'll convince Igbos to carry the arms again and a well armed OPC. The geographical space called Nigeria will be led by different warlords if we don't change our system now Whether we admit it or not, our military is getting weaker. Boko Haram war wearing them out and they are active in almost all the states of the federation. It all started like a joke but look at Boko Haram now. That's how Nigeria will slowly disintegrate if our elites don't do something fast 8 Likes 1 Share |
