Practical Steps To Breaking-up Nigeria Print E-mail
Written by Lawrence Chinedu Nwobu   
Saturday, 26 May 2007

Some years ago the American intelligence community looked deep into the soul of Nigeria and predicted her break-up in 15 years. It will be foolhardy to assume they were wrong. Every indices and every prognosis points to the same dire conclusions. I sympathise with those who continue to play the ostrich, and those who are afraid of change even if it means self determination and freedom.

Nigeria is not for real and was never meant to be. The evidence abounds all around us. Since her creation over 3 million people have died as a consequence of her existence. From the Tiv riots, to the Western region Akintola- Awolowo crisis, to the pogrom, to the genocidal civil-war, to frequent ethno-religious riots, to government massacres and decimation of whole communities i.e. Odi and Zaki-biam etc to routine Army and Police brutality and extra-judicial murders, Nigeria is quite simply a nation that drips in the blood of her own supposed citizens. It is a nation at constant war with itself.

The toil, tears, brutality and death Nigerians have faced within their own boundaries is much more than any, ever witnessed from White Colonial masters, or even the South African Apartheid regime at the height of it's power. The Apartheid regime in it’s worst days never wiped out whole communities as is ever so common in Nigeria, neither did their Police or Army routinely brutalise, rape and murder citizens without any provocation as is the case with Nigeria. Nations exist for the enhancement of the common good and protection of the basic fundamental rights of her citizens, but Nigeria functions only to protect the new internal colonisers who took over from the White Masters.

It is an outpost of evil, a nation of unbelievable oppression, and injustice. The logic or purpose for Nigeria ’s existence has long been defeated. The tragedy of leadership and the un-progressive feudal caliphate system that produced idiots like the lousy, unconscionable and mentally inferior Olusegun Obasanjo as president is part of the price we are paying for being in a nation that shouldn’t be. It is not an accident that Nigeria has never produced any great and progressive leader. It has not and will never be in the interest of the new internal colonisers, or feudalist cabal to produce young progressive new generation dynamic leaders. As long as Nigeria exists, they will rather always opt for a recycling of stooges whose only mission is a preservation and continuation of the status quo stranglehold. That system has successively produced all the ethnic idiots and mentally inferior charlatans who have misruled Nigeria to-date, and empowered evil, rapacious buccaneers and profiteers like Chris Uba, Lamidi Adedibu and Sunday Ehindero who lack any iota of conscience.

I have thus come to the conclusion that breaking up Nigeria is a task that must be done. My research has shown that it is actually easier to break-up Nigeria now than it was in the 60’s. The world has changed so much since the 60’ s. Arms are now more readily available, and new very effective methods of guerrilla warfare are now so common place, such that a faceless guerrilla army of just 2000 men can bring the nation to it’s knees as we can see in Iraq. Many new nations are increasingly becoming independent through United Nations organised referendums like in East Timor, Montenegro etc, with more independence referendums coming up in Kosovo and Southern Sudan . The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 without firing a shot in spite of their stockpile of formidable conventional and nuclear weapons. It is thus obvious that the geo-politics of the world is changing rapidly to make it easier for Nigeria ’s eventual break-up.

Anything but Nigeria , even if it means each of the 36 states becoming a nation. During the course of my research I have come to discover that there are many unbelievably tiny nations, some of which like Monaco have a landmass of just 1.4 km² yet they were able to make successful thriving nations that enjoy unlimited prosperity, human rights and freedom. See link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population_density .

The most practicable way to tear down Nigeria , under the current world geo-politics is 2 fold. (1)A massive mobilization of international support by regularly contacting and lobbying the United States government and civil-society, the United Nations, the World Jewish council, the British government, civil society and House of Lords, the World council of churches, the French government and civil society, the Chinese government etc. In the case of the Chinese government they would be very willing to back you up with arms and logistics once crude oil is part of the bargain.

(2) The raising of a well armed and determined faceless militia, using guerrilla methods to specifically target government officials, strategic infrastructure, Police, Military personnel, crude oil installations etc to make the nation ungovernable. The predictable reaction of the federal government with waves of massacres will increase the sympathy and support of the local populace for the militia and attract the attention of the international community which will eventually lead to the intervention of the United Nations to conduct a referendum on self rule. Sometimes such struggles take time, but in the end it succeeds. It is a classic strategy long employed by many nations and most recently  by East Timor, a tiny enclave of only 1 million people that courageously resisted the Indonesian armed forces using guerrilla methods while some of their leaders on exile lobbied the international community until the United Nations intervened and conducted an independence referendum.

Guerrilla warfare is a strategy of war by faceless militia’s that is impossible to defeat even by a heavily armed army. Around the world from Sri-Lanka (Tamil Tigers) to the Congo , Uganda to Iraq etc protracted un-winnable battles, some lasting decades have raged, mostly ending only when a political situation is found.

                                                                     Welcome To Biafra !

In terms of the struggle, the Igbo are still at the first and critical level of taking advantage of a large Igbo Diaspora to mobilise international support for Biafra . On the home front MASSOB has pioneered the grand beginning of Igbo activism, which though still non-violent, but is bound to take different shapes and dimensions including armed guerrilla militancy in the near future with the ultimate aim of bringing the United Nations to supervise a referendum. I have absolute confidence, that once the Igbo chooses to go down the road of guerrilla conflict, the famed Igbo spirit of determination, courage, creativity and aggression which sustained them against all odds for 3 years of civil-war will ensure the final dismantling of Nigeria. My research has shown that whatever the circumstances, there are no constraints to Biafra . The territory and land area might cover the whole or part of the old Eastern region and even beyond or be restricted to native Igbo speaking areas spread across the Igbo triangle of Abia, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo, Anioma, and Igbo areas of Rivers state.

Indeed even if the Igbo choose to construct their nation on the pedestal of only the 5 South East states, there will still be no constraints. Singapore a nation with a landmass of just    704.0 sq km is the 17th richest nation in the world with an economy premised on small scale enterprises and manufacturing. See link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore
Anambra state alone, the smallest state in the South East with a land mass of 4,844km² is more than 6 times the size of Singapore .

Taiwan is interestingly a nation that has a lot of similarities with the South East, with a total landmass of 32, 260 sq km, see link: https://www.odci.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/tw.html roughly the same landmass as the present day 5 South East states and a population of almost 24 million, they succeeded in building, through creativity and enterprise a very prosperous state. My research also revealed that Botswana though landlocked, is one of the most successful and richest African nations. Belgium and Netherlands are also nations of similar size with significant prosperity. There are therefore no constraints to the possibility of building a free and successful Biafra , with or without our Eastern neighbours, taking after the Asian Taiwanese model of large clusters of small scale enterprises, creativity and manufacturing. I have no doubt, that the Igbo once in their own nation,  will become unfettered to use their hardwork, creativity and enterprise to build a prosperous nation.

One of the immediate challenges of Ndigbo in the new nation would be to create a bustling metropolis that will suck in at least 15 million people. Lagos for example is just slightly over half the size of Anambra state yet it contains an estimated 15 million people, heading for 25 million by 2015. Even more eye opening is  Delhi in India with a landmass of just  1,483 sq km less than a quarter of Anambra state, yet it has a population of close to 14 million people.See link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delhi
Creating a thriving metropolis as part of a land management strategy, has the advantage of  conserving rural areas while concentrating a large number of people in a small area.Obuaku city which has long been in the drawing board will be rapidly actualised  in Biafra.

In the years ahead, Ndigbo must be focused and resilient as we undertake this final journey in our “necessary road to freedom” from an evil nation and un-progressive feudalist cabal that like a Witch desires no progress, and seeks to hold down others desirous of progress in the same un-progressive boat. History has shown that no pseudo-nation can survive. The Ottoman Turk Empire collapsed after centuries of being together, the Roman and Greek empires collapsed, the Soviet union most recently collapsed against all odds, the British empire collapsed after centuries, and Scotland one of the last vestiges of the British empire recently voted in the Scottish national party whose campaign and aim is to separate from England after centuries of being together. This establishes beyond all reasonable doubts, that no matter how long it takes, pseudo-nations like Nigeria must inevitably break-up.

Just imagine the possibilities in a free and independent Biafra . The Igbo are builders who have gone round building distant lands in Nigeria ; imagine what a great nation we can have if the Igbo can concentrate all or most of their investments in Biafra . Have no nostalgia or regrets for Nigeria , because Nigeria is not the wish of God, if Nigeria were the wish of God, the oppression, wickedness and injustice prevalent in the land would not be there. Long before there was any such place as Nigeria , there were Igbo people, and long after Nigeria would have passed away there would still be Igbo people. In this final struggle, many would die, but that is the necessary price for any struggle for freedom. Ndigbo were in the forefront of the struggle against the superior, craftier, and more formidable British in the struggle for independence and prevailed, there is no reason why we cannot prevail in this struggle against lesser mortals. Prepare for the rising sun, prepare for the new dawn of Biafra !

This one is loaded with seeming logic. But, how about:

1. The impact of the landlocked nature of Igbo land-except of course the Igboid people of Rivers state (Ikwerre, etc) agree to go with you? Of all the countries you cited, only Botswana is landlocked. This is important considering the potential hostility that Biafran merchants will face from hostile neighbours (who may not belong in Biafra) when they use the seaports of Calabar, Onne, Port Harcourt or Warri.

2. What is the opinion of the Igbo establishments (PDP goons such as Iwuanyanwu et al) and other Igbos who have investments all over Nigeria? Did you read the revelation of El Rufai that Igbos own 73% of land in Abuja? What will happen to those investments and the ones in Lagos and other non-Igbo cities?

3. Will the oil in Imo and Abia, and going by reports from the Raw Material Research and Development Council, Anambra and Enugu not be a source of problem as currently experienced by our big-for-nothing Nigeria?

4. Will what is left of Nigeria after Biafra is gone be willing to accomodate Igbos who choose to live in the new Nigeria? Or will all Igbos be made to relocate to their own country?

5. Won't Igbo contribution to the bad image that Nigeria currently has follow them to the new Biafra? Thus sustaining the legacy that Nigeria is?

thank you doctor ,

you made a lot of sense

what i dont understand is why people agitating for break up , are assuming that break up is going to solve all the problems of nigeria or indeed its components.

i dont even know why they think that the igbo states will exist together in peace if they are plagued by bad leadership.

they always forget that iwuanyanwu, nzeribe,uba and the rest are all as igbo as the next man .

what will happen if these people take over power,

even today as we speak i have heard the indigenes of ebonyi state complain bitterly of what they perceive as exploitation and oppression from aggressive traders and businessmen from anambra state.

i still feel the animousity that exists between the people of anambra and enugu who mutally accuse the other of exploitation.


imo and abia are not left out. the rancour of asset fund fiasco of 91 is still felt till today, go to the streets of aba and ontisha and see the resentment that artisans from the old anambra and imo pre 91 feel for each other.

indeed the so called igbo identity is under threat , with onitsha people proclaiming loudly that they are not igbo and agitating for anioma state with other ika speaking communities west of the river niger(ika language god knows what that is if it is not an igbo dialect, just lie ikwerre) as a break way state from anambra and delta states.

under bad leadership , bad blood will linger and fester, and in the end it will be a miniature nigeria with the attendant problems .

i make bold to say that any problem which cannot be solved under nigeria will never be solved under seperatist republics , they will continue to rear their heads.

the tragedy of nigeria is nothing but bad leadership where good purposes are sometimes thwarted for bad intentions. then bad leader upon bad leader

today the states are just like the provinces before 1966

useless and ineffectual and pockets of corruption



THE CLAMOUR FOR BIAFRA IS AN INTELLECTUALLY LAZY APPROACH TO SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF NIGERIA .

this is because there is no guarantee that the problems of nigeria is going to be solved that way.

however i understand that a biafra of the mind can give people hope, where there seems to be none.

it is actually possible to build a vibrant nation in the midsts of the chaos that is nigeria today if one igbo state just one igbo state gets a visionary leader.

indeed they dont even need a visionary leader it is possible for them to organise and do things pretending that the governmenbt does not exist.

for instance what prevents the massive onitsha market traders association from building a hospital with dues to take care of their needs that way eliminating hosptial bills for members and their families .

but at the end of the day , igbos in spite of the so called 'biafran fusion' ( education and commerce ) they are still suffering from dependency mentality like other nigerians .

they cry that govt does not build roads, and they wont build it themselves , when they are the ones that will use it and not govt ( govt who is that anyway). what prevents them from building the road and instituting toll gates to recover the entire money that was used to build the road . they cry that is no health care yet they wont build and fund hospitals by themselves. they complain there are no jobs , yet they wont contribute money to build factories just like they built the schools between 1900 and 1960 when the british refused to build them.



the solution to anything is organising and doing things for themselves the govt wont do.

enough of this dependency and victim mentality ,

you want biafra , tomorrow ebonyi will start shouting that biafra has destroyed them.

you want biafra , the next thing imo and abia will say the oil is for them and them alone.

you want biafra , tommorrow imo the most educated state will occupy every position of civil service , others will start shouting ,

you want biafra tomorrow anambra will institute a policy that will allocate shops and economic opportunities to only indigenes

you want biafra, tomorrow the anambrarians the richest igbos will start to push economic weight around


just envisage the million and one things that can go wrong .........................

@Adetunji:

Interesting topic, i will make my own reasoning step by step.

Landlocked:
The issue of Igbo being landlocked only came about after the civil-war with the high-wire politics of crude oil in Rivers state and the willingness of some "Judas" from that state to go along with the federal government project of identity brainwash. But in the long term and with the eventual end of crude oil, the Ikwerre will have hard choices to make on wether they want to join their kith and kin, or if they have enough confidence in the individual creativity and enterprise of their own people to stand on their own with only 5 local governments, or perhaps join other ethnic groups were they will be marginalized as it was in the old Rivers state before the creation of Bayelsa state. That said, the Igbo will still not be technically landlocked even without the Ikwerre. Azumini is only just about 5 nautical miles from the open sea. Just like the straits of Gibraltar, the Panama canal, and some other straits around the world, the Azumini straits can be diplomatically negotiated through the United nations to guarantee each neighbouring nation within 10 nautical miles, the right of passage within the straits of Azumini.

But it should also be noted that the general fear of being landlocked is a function of mental laziness, the same mentallity that has kept us glued to crude oil. The sea does not print money. There are many nations that are landlocked both in Africa and elsewhere. Austria, Luxembourg,Switzerland,Uganda, Botswana etc are landlocked nations but they are still some of the richest nations.On the other hand, some of the poorest African countries, and even failed states like Somalia have the largest coastlines. The most important aspect in the prosperity of nations, is creativity and enterprise, with these 2 factors the sky is the limit. There are so many Island nations surrounded by the sea, but still very poor because they are neither creative nor enterprising.


Another factor is that even if the Igbo is totally landlocked, the neighbouring coastal nations cannot be hostile, because they will need the revenue acruing from their ports which can be generated by the import and export activity of the mercantilist Igbo. The republic of Benin is currently making so much money from Nigerians importing banned cars through their ports. It is all a question of economics.

Igbo Properties Outside Igboland:
Property ownership falls under international law, that is why any of us including our rogue politicians can own properties in London, New York, Ghana, South Africa etc even when they dont live there. Abandoned property is no longer possible, as people are now wiser. All the recent nations that gained independence like montenegro and East Timor, none of them had their properties seized in their former republics, there is no way the United Nations can allow that. Those who desire can sell their properties and reinvest in the East. Besides if the Igbo separates from Nigeria, they will still be in West Africa under ECOWAS, and any Igbo who chooses to live in Oduduwa or Arewa republics and any Yoruba or Hausa who chooses to live in Biafra can do so as a foreigner, just the same way as there are Nigerians currently living in Ghana, Cameroun, Gabon et al. Cities like Lagos will actually be the loosers if Igbos pull out enmasse, because they make billions every year from Igbo enterprise

Hostility:
I actually beleive that the hostility experienced in present day Nigeria will cease once the nation breaks, because the struggle for power and domination among the different ethnic groups that has led to so much hatred, ethnic and politically motivated religious riots will cease.

The Iwuayanwu Factor:
People like Iwuayanwu and others like Adedibu, Chris Uba have all been empowered by the Nigerian government. Remi Oyeyemi exhaustively explained this phenomenom in his articles. In the good old days when the Igbo could choose their own leaders without outside interference we had great selfless leaders like Zik, Akanu Ibiam, D.M.I. Okpara, Dennis Osadebay, Jaja Wachukwu, Nwafor Orizu, Sam Mbakwe et al, once the Igbo achieve their independence we would be able to once again choose our own selfless leaders.In Obasanjo's administration we have seen a lot of Igbo dedicated leaders like Soludo, Ezekwesili, Akunyili, Iweala, Utomi et al, there are so many others like them, but the Nigerian government will never allow people like Soludo to take charge of affairs in Igboland because they know what they can do.We are all witnesses to the 419 general elections and how Obasanjo has rigged Andy Uba and other selected looters into several states, that is Nigeria for you. They will only use people like Soludo and dump them at the federal level. Once free from Nigeria, the Igbo will be able to elect people like Soludo, Utomi, Iweala to rapidly transform their nation.


@Nero Africanus:

Every society has internal differences, both in Yorubaland, Hausa land, even the Arabs in Palestine have internal differences as they are now fighting amongst themselves. In East Timor untill the last elections they were fighting amongst themselves.No society is perfect. The Igbo cannot choose to remain slaves in Nigeria were their development has been arrested just because of trivial differences amongst them. Most of the issues you identified can be quickly and easily resolved with good leadership in Igboland. Zik was one Igbo leader who because of his leadership skills was able to unite and carry along all Igbo including those of them in Delta state and Rivers states. Corruption, poverty, ignorance and federal government sponsorship of divide and rule is part of the reason for the general bickering in Igboland. Besides if we have to depend on the issues you raised, no nation will ever aspire to become independent, because even Nigeria had sharp internal differences before independence, but that did not stop them from fighting for independence from the British. It is better to be free in a room, than to be a slave in a mansion.There is a lot to gain from an independent Igbo nation developing at their own pace, than to be at the mercy of Nigerian slave masters.I rest my case.

Mr Chiedu,
It is not necessary for Nigeria to break up to get justice for the common man. We all remain black men, need each other and united in our common destiny. The fight is for equality and self diginity. We know the cabal who are willing to destroy us because of selfish interest, all we have to do is bloody elimination of them as far as God is willing. Plotting to destroy and disintegrate Nigeria will not benefit anybody because the traitors exists all over in the East, West, North and South. They will still find a way to oppress the our common destiny wether as Biafra, Oduduwa or Nigeria and thus our efforts will be in vain.

the problems the igbos face in nigeria today are so obvious, for the ordinary eyes to see ,that i will not waste my time enumerating them.
every dick and harry in nigeria knows that the igbos are hated by other nigerians. i had my university education outside igboland and i knew the mental and psychological persecution we
faced because we were igbos. an efik friend of mine was bold enough to tell me that an igbo would never be the president of nigeria!

why then are we part of nigeria?why then is it difficult for the non igbos to accept the fact that
the igbos really want a seperate country of their own?why then are non igbos resisting a homogenious biafra?

nigerians hate the fact that we are survivors. nigerians hate the fact that after surviving a civil war, we emerged 30 years after having the least poverty index in the country.nigerians hate the fact that an igbo man survives where no other can survive.

the entrapment called nigeria is a drawback to the progress of ndigbo.we can not be part of a country where we are hated. we need our own country.we need to take our destiny in our hands. our destiny has been in the hands of the IBBs, the ABACHAs and the OBASANJOs of nigeria for a long time.they have insulted our collective psyche long enough. enuf is enuf.

igbos are not disunited people contrary to what nigerians keep on reminding us. its only the agents of the nigerian state who do the bidding og their nigerian masters by causing confussion in igboland.they politics of self purification that is practiced in imo state today reveals the moral standard of the igbo when it comes to leadership. like some one said, when we were on our own, we had zik, okpara, etc.

we need biafra!

This article is tantamount to treasonable felony.

Breaking up of Nigeria is not going to be a solution to all the so called enumerated problems. Greedy people will always exist and thinking that when independence is gained, better people will be called to take over the helm of affairs is a balderdash. I used to be an apostle of Operation Break-up Nigeria but I had to pull out when all issues have been considered. It does not make a lot of political or economic sense to break up the country when ECOWAS is already making moves to unify the West African Region, except perhaps if Biafra is not going to be part of ECOWAS.

It is not true that the Igbos are hated so much. Look, my biafran friends... how many Nigerians have been celebrated in the past like the Igbos in the present political regime? From the Okonjo Iwealas to the Soludos to the Ezekwesilis to the Akunyilis... how many other people have all other Nigerians accepted have added a lot of value to the Nigerian lives? If you still believe that the Igbos are not appreciated then you need to rethink or need your cortex examined.

Very few Niger Deltans, except the radical leftists, who should be the people to cry foul most when it comes to marginalization, have ever cried for breaking up. All they clamor for is resource control. That is why I will always support my brothers in MEND when they terrorize the FG.

What Nigeria needs right now is to go back to true Federalism. Let everyone manage the resources they have in their land and use it to develop themselves. It is the creation of little nations out of one big nation working together as one family. The useless land use decree should be revoked and capitalists should be allowed to take over ALL government agencies that can be used to generate revenue and employment for Nigerians.

Another problem I have with the breaking up is ... well, who's gon inherit NIGCOMSAT? If my region does not get it then I guess my hope of having Internet facilities on demand unlike the 2 hours per week access I have will be dashed. Then we will have to go back to square one and restart all over again. If that is done, when will be get back to the present base we are right now?
