Definition of a nation: A large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory. Nigeria is many countries lumped together by colonialists to form a country. Hence the many problems we have, Nigeria can never work unless we agree to a referendum. We need to renegotiate our being together.

But they still see themselves as Americans. My opinion is, if we see ourselves as Nigerians not oduduwas, or Arewas or Biafrans, then there will be peace n unity. Nigerians division was/is based on tribalism. Once we learn to love one another, that We can live unilaterally with the resources we have, we will be VERY fine.

This is one of the tragedies the British Colonialists created for this country: creating a huge North and a small South; which we find impossible to correct.

I see most people in the comments are pointing fingers at tribalism. Well it seems like the easiest thing to blame because Nigerians don’t want to make Nigeria work. If at this point we still think or believe tribalism is the problem of this country, then we have a long way to go. Now let’s assume tribalism is the problem, are the regions not supposed to work effectively at their own levels to surpass each other in order to develop? Every region has representatives and allocations but your leaders are all corrupt and speak the same language, they see no tribe when they’re looting your money. They don’t have their people at hearts and that’s why Nigeria’s early leaders are way better, each of them trying to fight for its people. In a newly created country I don’t think they had any choice. For the past three decades, every region has a stand and some degree of power, what’s stopping them from making Nigeria great?

@TaiwoAyedun 2 жыл бұрын

There are significant differences between the 1999 document and the regional constitution before independence. The whole idea of centralization and allocation in the 1999 document prevents the regions from any form of reasonable independence and has, instead, created political opportunists from all the regions that are simply sharing money with Abuja FG. This is why Nigeria will not work except the constitution devolves power to the regions and indigenous nationalities. No democracy with Nigeria's diversity works anywhere in the world.

We have always known the problem of Nigeria. It has always been a fragile nation of tribes that can't see a common goal.

Nigeria started to fail when Azikiwe's NCNC dumped Awo's AG and Merged with Balewa's NPC. Only if Zik could see Awo's vision. Awo the man who saw tomorrow.

Define tribalism! If it’s always the problem then it means it can be defeated and we should accept except if you wipe out all other tribes and leave one tribe

No, it’s not!!! A problem, yes. But the greatest, I disagree.

Forcing 3 regions(people with different languages and cultures) to co-exist as a country was a total sham and it all happened so that Nigeria can continue to be in disarray and the colonial masters continuing to gain from the fruit of the divide. They knew from the onset that Nigeria being what it was would never make a meaning unless divided but chose to forced it on her anyways. Here we are still suffering from that one singular act of the colonial masters. They gave the then Nigeria to the greed and thirst for continuous oppressors and has cascaded to the current Nigeria.

See how they Strategically put the Northerners in Power and today we continue to See the manifestation of what happened Years ago with todays Northerners, they think they own Nigeria. They can be easily Manipulated by the slave masters (The British). They cannot do that westerners or Easterners...

Actually British set the time bomb and knows that it must surely explode one day so British will get indirect control again. They cut of Benue and Kogi which used to be under Southern Nigeria and gave them to North with desperate need to make the North far majority so with their loyal Fulaniz North they can have indirect rulership of Nigeria and that's just what is still happening today.

Reality stand...you on point Nnamdi zik made a terrible mistake by conflicting with Awolowo in controlling the west a yoruba dominated tribe, instead of facing the east and claim today benue and small portion of Taraba state, he sabotage awolowo effort to reclaim kwara and western part of kogi state. Both side lost all areas to the north due to division among themselves.
