A lot of noise has been raised about Gaddafi's comment due to the lingering ethnic and religious crisis that has engulfed the country in various states with Jos in the present. The man from Libya said it would be better if Nigeria divided into north and south with the north given to Muslims and South to Christians - Not that we give a hoot about what Gadafi has to say anyway. A lot of prominent Nigerians have responded that call for division with rage with some saying that he was mad, crazy or not worth listening to, however, these are comments from people who are in power and enjoying the first fruits of democratic dividends. The Senate President, David Mark said Gaddafi was insane and the ACF also rejected it. Several ministers and statesmen have called such statement useless but what does the ordinary Nigerian have to say about Nigeria being divided?
Well, Nigeria could have been divided during the Biafran war or was divided already for 18 months until it came back as one and has been so for almost 50 years. Would it be possible or in our best interest to divide the nation due to the increasing intolerance, religious discrimination and killings going on? Make comments to this post and vote in the poll - Should Nigeria be divided?

According to Obafemi Awolowo,he said that,"Nigeria is a mere geographical expression".If a sage like Awolowo could have said a thing like this,one does not need to drink from Nostrademus skull to know that Nigeria is long overdue for division.The pockets of troubles here and there across the country is a testimony to the fact that the mixture of people of diverse background cannot coexist any longer,hence the only available option is to toe the line of Gadafi's opinion.
Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by Romanus Ogar on March 19, 2010 at 01:06:24: Nigeria need to be divided because the north need to be on their own. That is the only way we can have peace in this Country.
Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by yisa on March 19, 2010 at 02:29:17: Why the division, the man asking for it is a terrorist and a mad man. if you are ask to do it where do you send the muslims from the s-west,s-east and s-south to or the christians from the n-east, n-central[middle belt] to. i think Gaddarfi is a mad man and terrorist and should be considered by the whole world as a terrorist.
Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by zamani chintif on March 19, 2010 at 06:07:42: rEALLY i DONT WANT IT TO BE DIVIDED, BUT IF IS TO BE DIVIDED THEN LET THE MIDDLE BELT OF THE COUNTRY BE MERGE WITH THE SOUTHERN PART AS THEY ARE CHRISTIANS. SO THAT LET THE MUSLIMS GO AND FORM THERE OWN AS ALL THE TIME THEY ARE THE ONE FORMING RELIGIOUS TROUBLES IN THE COUNTRY AS THEY HAVE ALREADY ARRANGED THEIR SUPPORTERS FROM OUTSIDE INCASE OF ANY REPRISAL.

Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by Olewuike Ugochukwu Stan on March 19, 2010 at 08:18:13: Gaddafi's statement is not far from the truth but this will lead to futher bloodshed,if Nigeria is split.This same issue led to the 30 month civil war.Anyone who is agitating for the country to be divided should be ready to pull the trigger and face the sound of the barrel.
Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by Emeka on March 22, 2010 at 03:02:45: We do not need to ask ourselves that question again, because it has long been answered.When a yoruba, igbo and hausa man respectively don't have d slightest love for one another.
Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by Mr. Michael Joshua Abakpa on March 22, 2010 at 03:02:55: First of all, the people that are agitating for Nigeria to be divided, my question to them is that Nigeria should be divided into how many part? definately not into two part.I think is very wrong for a true citizen of Nigeria thinking of division at these time our growing democracy, instead of thinking on how to consulidate our democracy.At this time we pray and advise our Acting President Mr. Goodluck Jonathan to focus on developing infrastructure like POWER,RAILWAY,STEAL(Ajoakuta Steal),Textile factories,Agriculture etc.With these so many youth will be engage and offcourse there will serious decrease in crime. I think this is what we should be agitating for as true Nigerian.
Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by Francis on March 22, 2010 at 04:47:20: Yes.....are we making any progress as a country? common to light, water, road,school,house,huspital which are the basic things, we don't have. We are just big for nothing. Let us not deceive ourself. either we go back to true federarism where all the regions, will be on there own and allow to develop on their onw. Only the north-Hausa and Fulanis are asking for one Nigeria... not the Yorubas or the Ibos.
They are mostly favoured by the one Nigeria. see the Ibo man can never be the President of this country becouse the know what to do with power. The Yoruba are lucky just bc of June 12th. President Gadafi is telling us the trueth and we are pretending that all is well. This country should be divided into six....but no matter how we say no, the Biafra is still alive and other once are coming up..

Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by halima abdullahi on March 22, 2010 at 09:59:35: it will be better if Nigeria is divided because right now, the country is not moving forward but rather moving backwards with unnecessary issues which have become necessary issues like the killing in Jos or is it the boko haram issue that came up from no where.for crying out loud, we are in the 21st century and all this issues should'nt be occuring.i think the solution to put an end to all this is to divide the country.
Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by Samuuel Umweni on March 22, 2010 at 10:39:04: It might not be best for Nigeria to divide because of many economic reasons, among are: its population attract foreign investors, its ethicity is amazing and the exchange of produce that is to write those things produce in East,West,South and North are all transported to different regions and there is no barriers to trade. I believe we need good governance, it might come from the minority it doesn't matter.
Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by Jim on March 22, 2010 at 14:22:44: This is absolute madness. Gadafi is a mad man who want 2 cause bloodshed. Did d Biafrans succeed? Was there nt bloodshed? Lets learn 4rm d past, instead of praying 4 our economy 1 fool is telin us 2 divide. He's a complete mad man. I tink he was drunk wen he said that. He should go n divide his family or split his parent if he has any.
Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by NKAA on March 22, 2010 at 20:41:25: The first question that comes to mind when ever the contraption Nigeria is mentioned, is, does Nigeria actually exist as a country? The answer is obvious. There could not be a better option to allowing this disjointed assemblage to disperse.Those that hold tenaciously to the Nigeria falsehood are those that do not contribute to its existence but exist from its dysfunction. The truth of the matter remains that, either the container (the name nigeria) is destroyed and the content saved, or the container is preserved in fragility while the substance remains forever putrid.

Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by Felix Okoli on March 23, 2010 at 04:24:39: Those who want Nigeria to be divided should take a look at the map of Africa. They should understand that dividing Nigeria would only bring more wars for west africa.
Nigeria is the major stabilizing force for west africa, our army, our financial resource, our technology is what is still keeping peace for us in west africa. If Nigeria divides, it will only create smaller countries which will end up fighting against themselves.
What people don't understand is that Nigeria is changing and we've grown too old to be dividing. Nigeria has only come to stay.
Nigeria is not the biggest country in Africa and is not too big to remain as one. We would not be able to create any other country out of this one that will be as prosperous as this one

Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by Samuel Bassey on March 26, 2010 at 08:37:42: The history,the structure and the background-laid by the colonialists- of this Nation called Nigeria has an answer to the question of divide. Be it as it may,one can not actually say 'yes' or 'no'to this question, rather, the situation in the country has the final say. The amalgamation of Nigeria in 1914 by Lord Lugard and the subsequent division of the country into three regions add flavour to the ethnic sentiments, and bais experienced in enforcing certain laws and also in the political realm. However,Nigeria cannot be united neither can she be separated until One thing is done. It is good and important to note that M. Ghadafi's approach to settle Nigeria's problem was not just that he envied and wanted the country to be divided, but was out of his sheer concern for the nation. Though his stance was observed from the negative point by many Nigerian's, the fact remains that there is a problem and solution to the problem lies on what he has said,or at best,if the people still wants to remain as a nation,there should be a collective responsibility,the avoidance of rotatory presidency and heads of other important office etc for these are signs of internal division so, why not make it external for the whole world to see. What is more, such trend of rotatory leadership also denies the best individual the opportunity to serve when it is not time for his/her region to pilot the post.

Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by Enyinna on March 31, 2010 at 04:13:16: What some people like Gadaffi don't know due to their ignorance about the entity called Nigeria is that there are a great number of Christians in the North and also a great number of Muslims in the South So anyone asking for a division is indirectly asking for a disintegration
Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by sege on March 31, 2010 at 14:01:33: that it has become a question prove the point.
it can and should be avoided by way of true federalism.the tool required for that is the conference of sovereign nationalities that fuses into what we know as nigeria.the power of prayer to God can make a success of it.

Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by M. O. Abubakar on April 06, 2010 at 14:53:02: The federating nature of Nigeria ougth to be a blessing to Nigerians, but very unfortunate to nigerians, we have always been deprived of our right to chose a credible leader for our selves. There is unity in diversity. India is more coplex than nigeria socio-culturally and religiously speaking. If only we can agree to recognise our differences as a cite of identity, with a sincere purpose of leadership, we have been together and we can always remain together as a state.

The South believes in excellence and meritocracy whilst the North wallow in, and would like to remain in their corrupt, decadence and mediocrity. The quota system was a rubish retrogressive policy and is the single most dastard policy in the Nigerian history. They then sold Nigeria to their religious paymasters in Saudi Arabia - Imagine Nigeria's budget being taken to be signed in SA just because this buffoons would not play politics by the rule book that is our Constitution. They are a bunch of political degenerates and fraudstars. The earlier we separate the better. Look at how they carved up Nigeria and sold it to their cronies as OILBLOCKS and IMPORT LICENCE MONOPOLY to the so called Nigerian billionare businessman Alhaji Dangote who is printing money on the backs of poor Nigerian people for importation of rice, sugar, cement and only God knows what else that we don't know about. Businessman my foot, anyone with half a brain would do the same if given a licence to print dosh like successive Nigerian government has given this morronic of an Alhaji. He is not an aberation because there are many cases like this all over Nigeria and we just can't go on like this because it'll be an unmitigated disaster. And all this when they swore to uphold our constitution and defend the interests of all Nigerians. Yeah RIGHT ! ! !

Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by Rashid Raji on April 07, 2010 at 05:07:17: Nigerians are very insensitive to rational discourse. Something is wrong with the we approach issues. When the US security report was issued some years back, it was regrettably dismissed by the political elites and the suffering mass as external intrusion of ideas. Now Gaddaffi has made a call as an outsider concerned about security in Nigeria. Most ignoramus in high and low places in Nigeria do not understand insecurity implication on other societies. Gaddaffi should be commended for boldly given a head-up to Nigerian leadership-thiefs to re direct and pay more attention to National security issues. It is wrong and ethically wrong not to take issues seriously by debating it and examining what is practicable and what is not. Gaddaffi has spoken when Nigerian leadership are afarid to tread. The question is what is our policy response? I agree that Nigeria need some sort of balkanization but not a 'muslim/christian states this would create terror haven in both states. Bala Usman spoke extensivelly about Nigerian history and how strongly Nigerian are related historically but infortunately this were variously ignored. What should the Muslims in the west do in the event of of muslim/chritian balkanization? and don't forget that shariah is been agitated for by some muslims in the southwest, we should also not loose track of the fact that the fight againt global terror has reemboldened religious identities among muslims and christians in Nigeria. What should ethnic boundary and demarcation look like. Ethnic and religious dynamics in the event of religious balkanization is not good for Nigeria. Nigeria should not be divided. A combination of skilful leadership and creative ethno religious management is. This obviously is a leadership challenge we shall see how it play out.
Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by Abuku on April 08, 2010 at 01:51:08: We fought a war for some three years+ to keep this country one. Surprisingly, we still seem to be impatient with each other. I would advocate tolerance and understanding between the various geopolitical zones to solve our developmental problems. Let us abide by the constitution of the land, and amend to suit our purpose as we go along. Nigeria must remain one to achieve our collective and several goals.

Re: Should Nigeria be divided?

Look at America, Canada . In US, the white house have nothing to do with what Texas is producing. California has no business with North Carolina resources.

Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by Ohanenye I. Stephen on April 19, 2010 at 14:35:05: The question of Nigeria dividing or not is as old as the entity called Nigeria. The answer to this question is long overdue! After the Biafra vs Nigeria Civil War (1967), I think the question was answered then, with the Igbos, Hausa and Yoruba, reaching a compromise, agreeing to unite and live as 'one Nigeria'. This question still linguered in the mind of the people, as a result of 'gross marginalization', as asserted by the Igbos' and the Niger-deltal tribes... In brief to this question, I think what Nigeria needs is a 'sincere people oriented' Sovereighn National Conference,(not division) where all these grievancies by the various conflicting tribes, crisis, and those in quest for division or separation will be resolved amicably, in the spirit of patriotism and 'one Nigeria !

Posted by Gerald on May 23, 2011 at 03:54:27: southern nigeria can manage on its own without the north.the middle belt's indigenous people are christians hence should join the south.states like niger and adamawa can do a population exchange program in which christians from the north can settle in niger and vice versa.adamawa can do a referundum to determine if the people want to go north or south.with oil and other resources,southern nigeria can become the next south korea.and democracy will prevail.not sharia.
Re: Should Nigeria be divided? Posted by mohammed audu on September 28, 2011 at 00:52:32: Long live Quaddafi. Nigeria is due for division since northerners go to saudi arabia for meetings to determine d faith of this country and kill fellow country members for 'God' and niger delta people are so proud of their resources not to want to share it with any one,yorubas are not too humble to consider others as equals. But north will only suffer for lack of resources for as long as they extinguish power hunger,religious crises and embrase love and see how to tap on her resourses
