Why I Think Nigeria Should Be Divided by melodyogonna(m): 4:29pm On Nov 19, 2018

My own opinion on how to make Nigeria work.


It's impossible for Nigeria to work, the best thing we can do to ourselves regarding this country is to agitate for it to be broken apart.
Why? It is obvious that the main problems ravaging this country is sectionalism, ethnicity and tribalism along with religion.
The effects of this is lack of trust, religious and tribal killings and backstabbing.

If Yorubas and Hausas thinks that a project sited in igboland will be better if it is sited in their respective regions, the mentality here will be that it will be that they project would not go on if it didn't start in their respective regions; this is sectionalism, and ultimately, funds for the said project will end up being embezzled.

This applies to the other points I mentioned, you can replay them in your with multiple scenerios

Now, If the country is divided into three or four parts, the Igbos, Yorubas and Hausas will work with what's in their best interest, this will also lead to healthy competition because these respective countries wouldn't want the other to overtake it.

If Nigeria could at least be like Great Britain, each country representing themselves when it's best to be separate and coming together when it's important they stick together.

Like Great Britain inthe Olympics, then smaller countries like England, Scotland, Wales etc in the world cup

Who do you think guys

If the country is divided, there won't be sectionalism because every country will be fighting for its best interest, no ethnicity or tribalism because there would be only one major ethnic group, no conflict in religion ( I can't really say this for Yoruba country tho).

There will be healthy competition where every country would be trying hard to be best.

We would be friendly neighbors and trade together

so why do you want it to be divided in to 3 or 4 parts?
Re: Why I Think Nigeria Should Be Divided by melodyogonna(m): 7:34pm On Nov 19, 2018
I don't think the Yorubas hate Igbos, neither does Igbos hate Yorubas and I have heard that Hausas are peaceful and contented people (unless you talk trash about their religion); what's happening is that because we have a central government the whole region is fighting for their best interest. Now this interests conflict alot because clearly the central government can't cater for all the interests

It can't be divided into 200 parts na, or maybe it can.

The important thing is not to have more than one major ethnic group as two captains cannot command the same ship.

there are many European countries smaller than Lagos with not upto 10000 people

Anybody with access to the internet can type trash. According to this educated slowpoke, the Igbos are supporting Atiku because over 90% of Igbo leaders are criminals. grin

If you ask her to provide data to back up her foolishness she will probably play a different tune.

It will be the greatest joy of my life to see Igbo land become an independent country. I want to wake up and remember that we Igbos are no longer share the same country with Yorubas or Hausas.

Lugard must turning in his grave for having made the big mistake of bringing this 3 tribes together in 1914
