The OP's epistle is one of the longest I have ever bothered to read on Nairaland. It is well written, which is one of its few merits.

I want the OP to know that Britain, our colonial masters have held two referendum since 2014 and another one is scheduled for 2018/19

Scotland is a constituent part of Britain, the 5th richest nation in the world. Despite all the advantages of Scotland being part of Britain, they still agitate to leave Britain. Why? The answer is in one word, sovereignty. The OP is talking about Nigeria, far below Britain, why would the Scots be even thinking of seceding from the 5th richest nation on Earth? And not just Scotland, elements of Northern Ireland want to leave too and join their kith and kin in the Irish Republic. If our own colonial masters can contemplate secession, then who are we that they brought together to say we are indivisible?

The question of Nigeria breaking up or the reasons why it shouldnt break up does not arise. Our colonial masters Britain voted to leave the EU, the single largest market in the world and the richest, who are we to question their democratic decision? It is theirs to make.

The same should be applied to the issue of those who agitate or are agitating to leave the Nigerian colonial contraption called Nigeria. Im an Igbo man, I dont deny that the activities if the colonial masters helped to unify the Igbo nation that used to be a scattered cluster of confederations, but that is no longer the point

The point is who wants to continue being a 'Nigerian' and who does not. Despite the huge potential of Nigeria as the largest black nation on earth, it should the decision of its constituent people to decide if the want to carry on with it same as our colonial masters, Britain, allowed Scotland to decide and will still allow them to decide again in 2018/19.

People can argue the pros and cons of Nigeria being together or breaking up from now to eternity but unless we accept that it is the ultimate right of the people to decide. We must trust the people to decide their fate rather than trusting Lugard to decide it for us. If the people are denied their God given right to decide their fate, then it all means that Nigeria is an instrument of bondage and it will never work

They have been killing themselves without biafra - aguleri vs umuleri, ezza vs izzilo, ritualists, cultists, killer kidnappers etc. What difference would biafra even make other than to join south Sudan and Somalia as failed state.

No bad idea is repeated as constantly as the notion that the solution to chronic violence in Nigeria is for her to "break up." The case for Nigeria's disintegration surfaces routinely after tragic episodes of violence and has emerged following the recent increase in sectarian terrorism. Some perspective is necessary. Since the days before the Civil War, beating the drums of separatism has become a sort of pre-programmed response to national calamity. Rumours of our impending divorce attended the 1964 elections, the June 12 1993 crisis, the death of Moshood Abiola in 1998 and the Sharia controversy in 2001. In 1990, a gang of over-ambitious soldiers attempting to oust the Babangida regime even purported to evict five northern states from the federation. Thus, current debates about the durability of Nigeria are nothing new.

99% of southern Nigerians are extremely hardworking, independent, resilient and work towards been successful... So there is a very high possibility in the "constituent units" been better off and very successful as long as rebel groups are not sponsored by foreigners to cause mayhem like the case of Ojukwu and Ironsi been used to destroy regionalism(I believe the civil war was orchestrated by foreigners because the north wanted to separate during that time and the "foreigners" knew if the resources was left with southern Nigeria there was a possibility of there been a very powerful African country)..

Unlike 1966/1967 where the SE leaders wanted to rule SW(even Biafran army targeted the SW)... Present day Igbos(not igbo politicians) are more concerned about developing the SE. If Ojukwu had focused on developing the SE and not on trying to conquer other tribes then there would have never been a civil war (that's why I suspect that some northern leaders, Ojukwu and other SE leaders were cajoled into starting a war with the same north by foreigners then try to drag the SW into the war).

Guy, chillax okay? Lol

Ugosample:
All these my people shouting that the country should disintegrate, what is the guarantee that any constituent unit will be better off if they leave,?

The constituent units of Nigeria will be worse off if the country sinks tomorrow
Or do you think you just draw new borders and all will be fine?

Let's reason this thing na

codemaniacs:


you are one of those northerners that pretend to be a southerner on NL

there are millions of farmers in the south, you can search NL for farmers in the south..

southern Nigeria has never and will never be dependent on northern Nigeria.. southern Nigeria have never ever been interdependent on anything

codemaniacs:


the food basket is in benue which was in souther Nigeria until the civil war..

you're delusional
