A leader is someone who inspires a group of people to follow him. He is not a lord who orders his people to do his wishes without considering their opinion and viewpoint for either convincing or review of his decision
ONNI, Joseph Yusuf
So bothered about the degree of Geopolitical, Ethnic and Tribal Sentiments in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it interests me to probe the reason for the sudden rebellion amongst those who have once sworn to live together.
I am one of those who had suffered the consequences of the mini-divisions of the Federal Republic of Nigeria into its different Geopolitical, Ethnic and Tribal Divisions. Rather than swiftly concluding that these divisions are products of ignorance and illiteracy, I decided to probe further into the cause of the revolt by looking up into the historical chart of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria had always have challenges of either persuading/compelling/enforcing these different units/fragments (Geo-political, Ethnic and Tribal divisions) to stand unified as the visionary one Nigeria that was amalgamated in 1914 but the rare truth remains that chances are thin that a Nation divided against itself would make a reasonable unified progress even under the operating force of the unitary/central system of government.
To bring an end to these, many propositions have been made through National Conferences, Legislative Chambers, Public Lectures and Media Conferences but none of these have yielded any fruitful result. The failure to yield result is a function of so many abnormalities resulting from Regional/Ethnic/Tribal protection of whoever had to steer the ship of the Nation during the period of these propositions.
Collectively, our nation is being referred to as “Federal Republic of Nigeria” but the salient truth is that it is made of fragments of people who seek independence and freedom from undefined unison that currently has a domineering effect on them
Our united existence had been like a Naval Soldier in comatose resulting from his inability to clearly understand the steering force of the Naval Ship that drives him to an inland water project and also lacking a clear definition of the reason he had to stand alert and watch all day at the deck of the ship
If we could not accommodate ourselves as a people with a united vision to be the giant of our continent and the world-at-large, if we could not collectively make decisions as regarding the governance of our nation, if we are no longer interested whether there is anything worth being patriotic for in our unified existence, if we no longer trust a fellow Nigeria citizens of a different Geopolitical/Ethnic/Tribal decision all because we believe he/she is a stranger, WHY ARE WE DECEIVING OURSELVES THAT WE ARE NATION?
Back to history, the 1999 Nigeria Constitution adopted the language of the United States of America thus “We, the people” without adopting the process that gave birth to the binding document. Right from our second independent constitutional drafting, laws have been imposed on the masses by a few elites because we ran the military system of government during these periods. The validity of these law depended on how rebellious regions to these unlawful adopted law can be forced or coerced to be subject to what they were never part of in terms of agreement
As Nigeria, we are no longer in the dark ages. We are no longer in the age of lack of information. We are no longer in the age of confusion. We are no longer in the age of random decision for a collective group of people. These facts have called for the need to either renegotiate the need to continue in the visions of “Sir Federick Lord Lugard” that birthed us or form our different protectorate for progress in the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Many propositions have been made and opposition have also been made but the fact remains, propositions not accepted and acted upon cannot be trusted to contain the will of the people. We need “Restructuring”. As far as the present Nigeria is, we are a simulation of different nations of different lifestyles and beliefs struggling to exist together and make unified decisions.
I call on all those involved (United Nations, African Union, Economic Community of West African States, Political Stakeholders, National Leaders) to look beyond their interest and summon a call to review the ethics of our existence
As an aspiring Nigerian President, I believe we need the following before we can be maximal in our output:
1. A peaceful co-existence agreement
2. A defined direction
3. Patriotic submission for all citizens
4. A Vision Statement of the need for our existence
5. A fair leadership system
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Aspiring Nigerian President

guess what? I no read am.

Well done. Our Military men from Gowon to IBB have tried to understand The Lord Lugard Creation by redefining it in 36 States. Well done Nigerian Military. Now in a Democracy, the President and the 36 State Governors should just fashion respect for themselves to govern Nigerians in their 36 States without fear or favour of domination and disrespect for their self esteem. The Basket that Lord Lugard skilfully weaved together and skilfully partitioned for decentralized manageable governance by our very intelligent and knowledgeable Military, should not now be torn apart by vengeful and greedy Biafra on the one hand and by the unfocused, cursed and ignorant Hausa/Fulani Arabs. The Devil is still In the Garden, otherwise, Buhari and the NASS should have seen and known without equivocation that the "Line of Best Fits" was to amend the 1999 Constitution to grant FULL AUTONOMY to the 36 States with regards to Sourcing and expending their Funds in a constitutionally uniform way and grouping them also constitutionally into Six or four Zones for easy Mergers, Combinations and Cooperations. May God help our NASS and the 36 State Assemblies with Knowledge and Understanding!!!!

Happy Independence to non existence?

I thought it's only me and mike who knew this, Nigeria don't exist, Not as a country, Nigeria was built on scam and till today still remain scam until every region that was amalgamated break apart and exit on their own.

Igbo/Biafra would be a country
Hausa/Fulani would be another
Benin/delta would be another
Efik/calabar would return to their bakkasi penisula area and merge with their origin in Cameroun.
Yoruba would stay here because they the true owner of this area called Nigeria of today.

I am of this opinion too
We can't be coercing ourselves to live together for over 56 years now and it's not working.
When will it work?

This is a wonderful alternative but Ethnic and Tribal disgust in the land would not permit

It's our NASS and the 36 State Assemblies that are stupid. let them wait there doing nothing till one hot Soldier comes in to spin and scatter their heads!!!! Just to amend the Constitution in the right ways provided by the Constitution, and they're dragging legs?
