i am not in support of any clamour for secession because there's strength in our diversity. we can maximise it. but i don't understand why we tend to use south sudan as template when we have other countries that got their independence from 1990 and they're doing quite fine.

Since the year 1990, 34 new countries have been created. The dissolution of the USSR and Yugoslavia in the early 1990s lead to the creation of most of the newly independent states.

Nnamdi kanu is the most powerful leader in Africa as we speak

They have to use it to console themselves nah,even when they all know a lot of countries that have seceded and still be far ahead of the country they broke away from. If they they didn't use south Sudan as example, then know that their process of unity begging is not yet complete

.."i am not in support of any clamour for secession because there's strength in our diversity..." OP

This is not the case in Nigeria. Here diversity is our greatest problem.

If Igbos develop anything due to their creative nature. The federal government will make an Hausa/Fulani, the CEO of the enterprise. Within few months the enterprise becomes another failed project. We are better divided like those small countries who are wealthier than Nigeria with their small population.

This is indigenous people of South sudan.

Do they look like people that will not have a failed state?

Look all of them are having AKs as part of their culture.

Damn people, give Biafrans some respect, we not the same mate with these medieval people.

Where were you when your director was threatening to make Somalia better than Nigeria?
Don't ever start what you can't finish. War is not a tea party.

Excellent post op, but i disagree with you when you said diversity is our strength. No it is not our strength, but our weakness. Diversity is the only reason nigeria will not work

Can't you see the coward in you speaking? Ain't you ashamed?
Hausas don't want war, they want a peaceful resolution.
Igbos want a peaceful referedum.
Wetin concern the cowards of Nigeria? Why are they beating war drums? Tufiakwa

Where is the stupid referendum coming from? Are you now scared of making Nigeria worse than Somalia? Is it now dawning on you that all the threats of violence by ipob is nothing but hot air?
If you are not cowards you will start another war right now and get your freedom because no one will give it to you on a platter.

op!
don't be mischievous!
here is why!
all the seceded country is a failure of human to the humanity, its not a glory to be proud of, it's a total failure, "self determination is a selfish determination" right to aid the wicked soul in human being, it's not different of right of gay for adoption, gay didn't want children it not rightful to adoption in common sense!
So if self determination is human no need for community we call for individualism and isolation!
And it's the causes of revolt and war anywhere in the world.
Also in common sense why Islamic state self determination is not allow?
Then , No single country dissolved attained the great height of of parent country!
second, No seceded country without agony of war and long time war ranging from 10 years or above!
No single new independent free from agitation for unstoppable self determination!
why feeding people with cooked lie!
