| United Nations asked to divide Nigeria into six republics |
| 2016-06-12 |
| [Daily Post] Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, and Biafra Independence Movement, BIM, have pleaded with the United Nations, UN and other world leaders to divide Nigeria into six geo-political zones as a permanent solution to the myriad of problems facing the nation. The groups noted that granting the six geo-political zones in Nigeria self-rule would be the only solution to the many challenges. In a statement signed by the Director of Information of the pro-Biafra group, Chris Mocha, the two groups called on the UN and other super powers to consider the lives of people that are killed on a daily basis in Nigeria arising from insurgency in the North East and Fulani herdsmen and respond to their call. Mocha said the proposed nations include South East, (Biafra), South-South (Niger Delta), North East, North West, South West, (Oduduwa) and North- Central. He added that no amount of preaching on nationalism can change Nigeria as it is today. Mocha further explained that when the said zones are given independence, assets of the citizens of the different countries will be protected by international laws, just as bilateral agreements will guide the future relationship of the new republics. The group, however, insisted that several members of BIM/MASSOB were killed last week during the Biafra anniversary at Nkpor and Onitsha. |

| #6 Sure, you can give 'em a province and they'll be content for a while. Then they'll start moving into the province next door and causing trouble there. Then they'll demand that province... |

| #4 FrankG is right. From the CIA World Factbook: chief of state: President Maj. Gen. (ret.) Muhammadu BUHARI (since 29 May 2015) He'll be better able to deal with the various insurgencies when the govment has recovered more funds stolen by Mr. Goodluck Jonathan's cronies. If I recall correctly, they've already identified the location of about $33 million. |

| #1 Goodluck Jonathon has his hands full. Causing all manner of trouble are the Islamist insurgency of Boko Haram in the North East, Niger Delta militants in the South and the violently militant Fulani Herdsmen who are affiliated to ISIS and Boko Haram in the East. Separating (apartheid) the lot? 'Back to the future' of ethnic tribalism? What a novel approach. |
