Nigeria Don tire person, there is no hope for the current generation and one can laugh at the possible unfortunate future that awaits the unborn generation of Nigerians. this improperly structured nation filled with nepotism, tribal and religious biases, mad people(terrorists and religious fanatics) and most importantly fantastically corrupt people is clearly on a path to failure and many groups have felt self determination to be the solution. the igbos feel same, the south south people feel same, recently it appears the Yorubas along with minority groups are feeling the great hunger for self determination. yet the South Sudan situation and history must surely serve as an educating tool while thinking out our way from this quagmire.

A great country is a multicultural, economically diverse and adaptive one run by efficient systems of government which caters an ensures equity and justice to all within. this must strictly be the hope and expectations for any self determined country in event of a break up, but we must ask ourselves why exactly did the Nigerian project fail, how exactly will same not apply to our self determined entities we in a hurry to create. humans are naturally individualistic and are quicker to see differences amongst themselves than similarities. this natural trait has created religious and tribal biases, racism and even terrorism.

there is no homogenous working society in the world. even when bound by religion people will always want to prioritize another differentiating bias (Sunni and shia Muslims). amongst the yoruba there is even alot of internal biases, same applies to the igbos and almost every other tribe in this nation. there is no proof that in a Biafra the same tribal problems plaguing Nigeria will not crop up, even though religious biases could be reduced (this is not necessarily true as observed by the segregation traditional worshipers face from Christians and even biases amongst Christians of different denominations).

it will be very difficult to create a working homogeneous entity that can ensure fairness and otherwise as hoped by all seeking self determination. we will end up creating small versions of the same failed Nigerian system.

it will be meaningless to do all this ranting without proposing a solution , thus I must state that only a foolish man tests the depth of a river with both feet. dividing this nation at any point in the recent time is very much akin to that. therefore we must test the waters with one feet. this one feet is simply. REGIONAL GOVERNANCE. what many call true federalism. when we can create and empower governance at the various regions, we have automatically created self determined entities who simply contribute a pittiance to a small federal structure to ensure the efficient running and maintenance of federal roads, universities and the military. every region should go develop and run their regions. they should have complete autonomy in managing their affairs and have regional laws that govern them (of course laws that doesn't oppose federal laws).

we can start our self determination this way, and test that theory in this structure. note that there are alot of benefits to our multicultural and largely populated Nigeria. if we practise true federalism, and stop having non existing governors who we never hold responsible for anything, we will start the process of eliminatinf alot of the problems plaguing us and finally pleasing many people who for many years have felt disenfranchised and maltreated.

after a period, people will truly see how much of love truly exist amongst their homogenous people. this will be a revelation.....

my humble opinion

I disagree . . . All regions will experience re-awakening as there would be no free flow of easy oil money again. Imagine all those idle civil servants currently gulping oil money via civil service up north embracing farming and contributing just N100k per person per annum to their govt. 30m active people can and will give N3 Trillion Naira.
We have the potential but the free flow of oil money has attracted the wrong people to power and the populace won't hold them accountable because its not from their sweat.

everyone is suffering, and even in self determination you will see groups who will be suffering. the point is that why jump into seggration when regional government and resource control solves all of our current problems

When gallant Yoruba boys bring the heat on your coffee table-shaped heads now, you'll start wailing to the MODs. The fate of your Biafra republic lies in the hands of the Yorubas and Hausas. It's not our fault you've become the country's b¡tch. Anyway, I'll appeal to my Yoruba brothers and your Nothern tormentors to free your tribe from political slavery.

after the Hausa vs Yoruba clash at ife,only yorubas were arrested including an oba,they're still unjustly detained till today plus many other problems affecting the yorubas but you hardly see them agitate or discuss their problems rather they would be moving from one igbo thread to another spewing hatred over what is not their concern. a famous adage said that "an unexamined life is not worth living"

Lol. Y'all started the name-calling and sh¡t. Snakes like you preach peace but also like and share tribalistic posts of your fellow igbo brothers. You're always quick to complain when Yorubas comment on Biyanshfra threads, but you don't caution your brothers whenever they throw unnecessary shades at us on your Biafra threads. There isn't really any trouble until you go about looking for one.

And for the record, word got out that the Yoruba people arrested were guilty NURTW thugs who were punished accordingly. We're not hypocrites like the descendants of Harambe the gorilla from the yEast.

We don't mind punishing our own in the public to uphold peace, when the useless criminal Ifeanyi Ubah was arrested, I remember you people spamming Nairaland with your wretched he's-our-thief mentality.

thats exactly what people must be fighting for and not self determination. that is exactly my point. Nigeria is soon heading into implosion as a result of youth disenfranchisement. instead of conducting an election, the youths are to insist via whatever means for a restructuring. because in truth that solves the present problems by localizing it amongst homogeneous communities

it's only when we get what we seek that the war is over, so far we haven't gotten regional control thanks to the north. the youths must get it by force in need be. we must not support an election to this same structure come 2019. all we need is a restructuring of the nation into regions with resource control. it's more beneficial for youths to fight for this which solves our issues than to run into a homogeneous entity without any assurance it will be better off than current Nigeria. South Sudan is a perfect example. they are self determined yet the north is Berra than they are

Let them keep breaking till they achieve stability. A force union is no better than a lone ranger.
