From this man's submission, it is easy to see that the solution to Nigeria's issues is to put in a structure that respects our differences, and allows for us to live by our cultures, but at the same time encourages us to grow Nigeria as a country, and to be a proud citizen.

Breaking up Nigeria will not solve the issues as already answered by the man himself. Nigeria would need to be split into thousand pieces if not millions if we believe his illustration of the level of mistrust going around.

Nigeria needs honest reforms and accountability of not only the Government institutions, but also the citizenry.

You have started this your typical SW rigmarole around issues. You should be asking the necessary question(s) which are these -- Did the SW (in partnership with the Fulanis) vote out Jonathan in 2015, and the answer is a resounding YES

Did the SE or SS vote out Jonathan in 2015? Yet again, the answer is a resounding NO

When you guys were rejoicing when the oba of Lagos was threatening Ndigbo with the Lagoon, what was it all about? Wasn't it because Igbos did not join the Yorubas in their anti-Jonathan political stance, but instead chose to vote for Jonathan and his party in Lagos state?

You can twist around all you like, the point is that everyone knows the SW was instrumental (and were proud and boastful about it) in the unjust removal of the only ever SS president. This fact will be remembered for a very very very long time. Trust me
Another absolute trash!

@ emboldened was during the Governoship Election

It happened when igbos wanted to revenge as you often do by voting against APC in the governornship election a week after Presidential election that the King threatened you.

So where exactly is the evidence of Hate when Jonathan got more votes than a Yoruba APC in 2015?

Jonathan lost in the North East, North west, North central and Lost by a slight margin in the South West in 2015.

Yet, I have not seen you call out Tivs, Nupe, Igala, Ebira, Junkuns who gave Buhari more votes than the Yorubas gave Buhari in 2015.

DIVIDE NIGERIA NOW, NO ANGEL CAN UNITE US – NORTHERN ELDER
Arewa Gazette
10 June 2020

1914 Amalgamation was a grave mistake' Yorubas more homogenous than the North

Chairman of Dialogue Group in Kaduna, Alhaji Mohammed Mahadi Shehu, has lamented the deep ethno-religious divisions in the country, stating that breaking up the nation may not be such a bad idea.

The prolific writer and public speaker stated that the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern protectorates by the British in 1914 was a huge mistake.

He stated that most Nigerians have not been able to rise about ethnic and religious sentiments, making a united nation difficult to achieve.

Shehu disclosed these in an interview published by Daily Sun on Monday.

He said, “When the amalgamation of Nigeria took place, virtually everybody’s head in this country was not up. In other words, nobody realised the consequences of merging this country.

“With the passage of time, with the knowledge, with clear daily happenings it was realized long ago that the amalgamation was done in haste, out of mischief without taking into consideration the peculiarities in Nigeria.

“But before it was realised, it had been done and it had become a country. Events from 1960 to date have clearly shown that the amalgamation was the biggest mistake of that century and there is nothing wrong in righting the wrong once you realise the wrong is wrong. Amalgamation is wrong.

“Our togetherness had been fused together not through consultation but through unilateral action of the colonial masters and politicians at that time to serve their immediate needs. That was what happened.

“You will agree with me that from 1966 till date, precisely, it has not been rosy and easy for Nigeria. It has been one form of calamity, tragedy or the other. In fact, now we are at the height of suspicion. We do not trust and believe in each other. We are at each others’ throat and at daggers drawn. Must we allow another war to come before we part?

“Let us peacefully go on the table, break the Kola, distribute the country for everybody’s peace. If we do not do it now, the future generation will abuse us.

“It is better for Nigeria to break into smaller, smaller countries as much as possible if that will allow us to save properties, lives, relationships and posterity because I do not see any Angel coming now, in human form, to unite Nigeria.”

Shehu added, “People have gone under the umbrella of Islam and Christianity to advance their political cause only for them also to ride on the same Islamic and Christian umbrella to plant hate and venom in the mind, heart, psyche and socio-economic activities of Nigeria such that today, that unity is no more there.

“If anybody is pretending that there is unity in this country, he is on his own and God help him. But I am not going to live in denial; all is not well.

“All will not be well until these divisions are identified or are rather addressed by giving people independence the way they want it.

“Ask any Yoruba man, 90 percent will tell you he is waiting for the actualization of an Oduduwa Republic. Ask any Igbo man, he is waiting for the actualization of the Sovereign Republic of Biafra. Ask anybody from the Niger-Delta region, he is waiting for the Niger-Delta Republic.

“It is only probably in the North that there is no agenda of Arewa Republic because of our peculiarities. The Yoruba nations are more homogenous than the North. Niger-Delta and the Igbo are more homogenous but they all have their own internal divisions. But in the North, we have ethnic minorities, other smaller enclaves that are not willing to go with the majority ethnic tribes because of their previous experiences and that of their great, great grandfathers. They have also lost trust in the bigger tribes.

“The issue of power shift is an interesting issue and that tells you that it is better we divide Nigeria. One example; if you hear an Igbo man clamouring for power shift, if power were to shift to an indigenous Muslim Igbo, ask an Igbo man, because there are indigenous Igbo Muslims there; if power were to shift to say, Imo State and it is shifted to an indigenous Muslim Igbo, if you ask the entire Igbo nation who are not Muslims whether power has shifted to them they will tell you no. If you ask a Yoruba man about power shift, to say Modakeke; ask an Ife man whether power has shifted to him and the answer will be that it is not because it is to his sworn enemy.

“If people from Nasarawa, Benue, Kogi, Taraba, Middle Belt who are clamouring for power shift, a minority from them, a Tiv Muslim were to emerge president of Nigeria, Tiv people will tell you they have not seen power and that power has not shifted to them.

“In Katsina State, the Karaduwa people have been clamouring for power shift to them. Governor Aminu Masari is from Karaduwa. But were that power fallen to an indigenous Christian in Malumfashi, Kafur, Yarabori, Askia or Funtua, the Hausa man in that area will tell you no.

“Even now as we are talking, Buhari is from Daura, ask any Katsina Central man if he believes power has shifted to Katsina; he would tell you no.

“So, a country where you feel only comfortable when a man from your Church, Mosque, house or tribe becomes president, that country is gone and it is only a matter of time.

No it’s ALL OUR FAULT. Azikiwe was a yoruba man, Ojukwu too was Yoruba, they all disguised as igbos. The fulanis are Yoruba too, afonja as a matter of fact. White peoples are all Yorubas. Buhari yup you guessed it, he’s a Yoruba man from Oyo? Boko Haram, Yoruba! The bandits riding around that killed 70 people yup, Yoruba too! The media they are all Yorubas! grin

Now that we’ve settled all that, let’s seperate, go to your region and leave us in peace.

Why shouldn't Igbos vote against APC? So it is obviously no longer a democracy. The same Lagos state that voted against Jonathan in the presidential election, and you want Igbos to vote for APC in the gubernatorial election.

Now you are comparing SW votes for Jonathan with NE and NW votes for Jonathan. Doesn't this immediately tell you something about the SW.
How come you did not compare SW votes for Jonathan with SS or SE votes for Jonathan. Now you are seeking solace in a group made up of staunch anti-Jonathan people.
All you have revealed is that the SW is the only southern group that chose to vote in a staunch tribalist and nepotist in preference for a fellow southern president that's more competent than the northern tribalist.
As I wrote earlier on, the SW will undermine any SS or SE person in preference for a less competent northerner. 2015 is a case in point.

Also why should I be comparing Yorubas with northern minorities? You keep sinking into this hole deeper and deeper. Compare the SW with the SE and SS.

Are northern minorities not human enough for us to compare ourselves to them? or do they also hate Jonathan for supporting him in 2011 but voting against him in 2015? (going by your analogy)

The right to vote and be voted for is guaranteed in a democracy

Jonathan still had ranging from 60% to 45% of the of support of Yorubas at all times but he didn't do too well as the president either.

The reason the SW votes for Jonathan were even as high as 45%+ was because of Igbo and SS votes in the SW. Once the SE and SS votes in the SW are removed, the SW votes for Jonathan will go down to about 10%
