Nigeria And Nigerians Will Die If We Do This

The issue of seperation has been a fire kindling in the hearts of some nigerians, but do they really know what they would suffer? Or they ignorantly just want to follow the choice of the selfish elite leading them to their doom?

The efik- ibibio and ijaw cried for their own state in nigeria some years back because they were fearful of the igbo's domination in their new BIAFRA. To oppose this motion they supported the federal government in the war against biafra.

Seperation is no way favorable to any nigerian citizen accept to those elites that have stored stolen money somewhere only God knows to enjoy their loot.
I read some article on The Nation Newspaper which made me want to emphasize more on this topic of seperation of the country.

First lets start with what we are currently enjoying due to unity at the moment.

1. Nigeria is among the 15 most populous country in the world with its GDP of over $400 billion and a population high,giving us advantage of a bigger market.

This huge market attract investors from every part of the world. This is one big reason why we beat South-Africa as the biggest economy even though they have better infrastructure than we do.

Well I guess you might start asking questions like....." So What?, To what end then?, e.t.c" well here is what it means.

Having a bigger economy makes nigeria authoritative in international affairs as being bigger commands respect than being a small republic, of course its obvious, (would you rather let your kid brother tell you what to do in the house?)

2. Nigeria if still united is blessed with large expanse of land and also having a richer vegetation to its reputation. We are richly blessed with fertile soil for agriculture, which makes us self sufficient in farm produce if we work our lands.

Now some major things we would suffer more if we divide into small republics are as follows:

1. All emerging republics will easily have access to the sea. The landlocked republics such as the ethnic group in the north and the likes will have no access to the sea or ocean and will be at the mercy of republics that are located along the coast in the south. This, in a layman view means that importation of goods through the coastal republics either northward or eastward would involve payment of tariffs, high cost of transportation of goods and above all, cooperation of the coastal republics. Hmmmmm I can bet that this will be the death of us all.

2. Ethnic groups having visible buoyant investments outside their enclave will be major losers after the break up. To be more precise the igbo's would suffer more here, they seem to have visible investments such as houses, hotels, churches, shops and so on outside their enclave.

This is immovable and would mean handing over their birth-right to main dwellers.

3. Nigeria is one big country in africa that could deploy troops to troubled countries in Africa and the world.
Countries that have looked up to us in their time of crisis, crisis such as dismantling of apartheid to the chagrin of world powers, assistance during civil wars and so on, likes of (Sierra Leone, Liberia, South-Africa, e.t.c). Would no longer have us to look to.

And apart from the praises and respect we citizens of nigeria have gathered, the death of our great loving Nigeria will create room for other African countries to assume this honored post and would render every other nigerian.........you  know better............

There's no worse attribute than a once Great Nigerian Citizen been called Ordinary

I am a Great Nigerian Citizen Please don't let be Ordinary......God Bless Nigeria....
