1. Gullible Nigerians have big mouths but the fear in them is bigger. Peaceful coexistence shouldn’t be at the cost of anyone’s life, not even Sunday Igboho nor Nnamdi Kanu.

At one point, the mighty USSR broke up & not a single shot was fired!!

2. Today, much of Russia, Ukraine, Romania, etc, are still cooperating. The Soviet Union is no more, but the peaceful coexistence, is still very much with us.

Slavery did not end in Nigeria, it took on a new form & coloration.

3. We’ve had Umaru Musa Yar’Dua, a Fulani man. We had the worst in the 90s, the Abacha tyranny. We had Abdusalam Abubakar, we had IBB Ibrahim Babangida.

All northerners. Yet, there was no calls for separation by the South. Now Buhari is on the saddle, the calls became amplified.

4. Ask yourself why? You must really hate progress, if you are still supporting Buhari & his own definition of ONE NIGERIA.

I come from a political family in Rivers State. But Nanna & her children knows where my loyalties lie. I am for progress, I am an abolitionist.

5. I hate slavery & oppression of any form or guise. The way I see it; you must be benefitting from the “status quo,” for you to still want to remain a Nigerian.

If Buhari is wise, he must call a national dialogue NOW!!

6. When I say “national dialogue,” I mean no conference of politicians & rogues masquerading as leaders.

We need a genuine dialogue, where people with proven integrity will lock themselves up in a hall, & negotiate an arrangement for coexistence.

7. In the end, a RESTRUCTURED NIGERIA will rise. Bring equity, bring fairness, bring justice. Let everyone have a sense of ownership, where the son of nobody can aspire to be somebody. RESTRUCTURE OR BREAKUP!!

8. Because; I still cannot wrap my brain around the fact that it was some man, who goes by the name “Lugard” (I’ll rather not address him as lord)

His reason for bringing the North & South together was in the interest of the British Crown. It wasn’t in the interest of the locals

9. So why should we continue to accept that “unholy” arrangement? Who benefits the most from such an arrangement?

We have to look ourselves in the mirrow, & tell ourselves the honest truth. You want a ONE NIGERIA, not because it’s a general consensus.

10. You NEED ONE NIGERIA because it serves your SELFISH INTEREST!!

When we advocate for RESTRUCTURING OR SEPARATION, please do not bring up the “unity among the political elites,” as an excuse. That’s a flawed narrative.

11. What we are advocating for is “WE THE PEOPLE,” not “THEM, the killers.”

When the true inhabitants of Nigeria rise up to demand their FREEDOM, which rightly so, is there’s to determine, the security forces & the political elites, will mostly definitely be overwhelmed!!

12. There is still time for THEM to retrace their steps, & allow the people of Nigeria to determine their own destiny, going forward.

The Praying Mantis the Grasshopper killed, was deaf!! A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE!!

13. I think this speaker captured most of my thoughts. Millions of Nigerians are genuinely fed up. How did Nigeria come to such a passé?😞
