Opinion: The fallacy of enforcing national unity

by Ugochukwu Amasike The threat of violence and force of arms can not guarantee or enforce Nigeria’s fragile “unity” forever. It is an exercise in futility to attempt to do so; the very idea of a “forced or enforced unity” is unnatural, even animals are not forced to live in unity. It has been almost half... Read More

Simon Kolawole: Like Brexit, does Biafra deserve its own referendum?

by Simon Kolawole I will start with a footnote: I believe in one, united Nigeria. Not that I am the best patriot in town, but I just love diversity. I love the Nigerian diversity.

Akin Osuntokun on #Scotland2014 : The ghost of Biafra is back!

by Akin Osuntokun Apparently the ghost of Biafra has not been laid to rest. I should know.

Opinion: It is time to break Nigeria up

by Damola Awoyokun We want a good-bye-to-all-that referendum now. And the National Conference sitting in Abuja should make itself useful by setting a date for one. Enough is enough. Sardauna of Sokoto and Obafemi Awolowo used to be good friends. They visited each other a lot and Sardauna was very keen to implement... Read More

Tunde Fagbenle: Nigeria – A time to negotiate our co-existence

by Tunde Fagbenle We need to talk and negotiate our relationship. If some bloc would like to go their way, and it is agreed to by referendum, then I see why not. That does not mean the country needs to splinter into a thousand countries – though I find nothing wrong with even that. A... Read More

Opinion: Why a Sovereign National Conference is what Nigeria needs

by Chukwumerie Uduchukwu Critics arguing that this policy is ill-timed should note that this is the best time to organize such because it will be better to discuss the fate of our unholy marriage in this era of various challenges. Also it is shocking for some people to say that Nigerians cannot dictate to government.... Read More
