Nigeria has always been on the thin line of breaking-up. Igbo self-acclaimed freedom fighter, Nnamdi Kanu has always been on the forefront, wanting a Biafra nation for the Igbos. Last year also saw the emergence of Yoruba freedom fighter, Sunday Igboho. The ordeals that befell both freedom fighters are a tragedic story to the ear of their supporters till today.

Nigeria is a nation with many diversities in various ramifications; religious diversity, ethnic diversity, cultural diversity, ethno-religion diversity, economic diversity, political diversity, and many more. All of these build up to the reasons that make division look reasonable. Looking reasonable does not however equate to being the real solution.

Should we forget that each ethnic has it's own various diversity? Let's take a look at the Yoruba tribe; filled with many sub-tribes (if I may say sub-tribes ): Ijesha is a dialect spoken in Ilesha, Osun State. I taught Oyo dialect is the same everywhere until I found out that an average person from Igboho does not speak like someone from Saki, meanwhile, both towns are in Oyo state; in fact the Oyo dialect spoken in Ibadan is different entirely from the ones differently spoken in the two earlier mentioned towns of Oyo state. How about the people from Ekiti State? In fact each town in Ekiti State speaks different Ekiti dialect.

I have an Igbo friend who once told me that he hardly understands the Igbo language that Phyno speaks in his songs. That was when I realised that even Igbo has different dialects.

You may think that everyone from the Northern part of the country is an Hausa man but start from Kogi state that has various tribes such as the Igala, Ebira, etc. Okene alone has different tribes. The North is filled with many tribes, an average Kanuri man will fight you if you dare call him an Hausa man.

Therefore, you may be wrong if you think or believe that breaking-up will be the end of the problem of this country. In fact it may be the beginning of fresh problem for each new nation. Let me use the Yoruba people as an instance; if the Yoruba or Oodua nation eventually happen, a time will come that the Ekiti people will start a fight that the Ijesha people have ruled for so long, it's time they too take over the Presidency. This will be the similar case with Biafra nation or Hausa nation .

In my own opinion, breaking-up is part of the options but not the solution to the problem.

Here is a video of a popular clergyman from Ogbomosho, Oyo state, Rev'd Tolu Agboola giving perspective to this message.

What is your opinion in this matter?

Cool story. We are still leaving. Goodluck with the North.

Nigeria has gotten progressively worse since 1960 to this day. Things are not working out. So what is the point of Nigeria? Should we be united for the sake of being united? Or should we be united because our unity is making everyone progress?

If our unity is not making everyone progress, then may be it is time to explore other options. It could be that Nigerias will do better apart than together

All of us were doing well before the British came to force us to be together. The Yorubas were doing their thing in the Oyo empire, Hausa/Fulani were doing their thing in the Sokoto caliphate, Igbos were do8ng their thing in the Aroh confederacy

It is the British that came from nowhere to come and day we can do better together under a colonial name called "Nigeria"

We have had 61 years of total failure to know that the British were wrong. So let us come together and allow this country the British created, to disintegrate, so we can all try new things

Akuko ndi mgbu. Nigeria must breakup to see any atom of progress.
