Let Us All Agree To Divide Nigeria - Chris Ifynkris

An elderly man’s wish to live long enough to witness the rebirth of a new Nigeria stirred controversy, with many expressing doubt about the nation’s future. One divisive comment, “Tell your Yoruba people to agree to divide the country,” reflects the frustration some feel about Nigeria’s current challenges and suggests that separation is the only solution. This sentiment only deepens divisions rather than fostering unity.

Such comments ignore the complexity of Nigeria’s issues, focusing on ethnic divides instead of collective efforts to address the country’s problems. Suggesting division undermines the spirit of national cohesion and cooperation needed for progress.

Rather than resorting to calls for separation, the focus should be on fostering dialogue and collaborative efforts across ethnic lines. Lasting change can only come through unity, not division.
