Acting President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) has explained why he would not support any secessionist group.
Osinabjo said after series of meeting with groups from the north and the south eastern parts of the country, they all unanimously agreed that Nigeria must remain a united country.
Osinbajo was quoted by his spokesman, Laolu Akande as making this remark at Iftar dinner he hosted Monday night at the Presidential Villa with Northern Traditional Rulers.
According to the VP, with the way things were developing around Nigeria, today, the people had no choice than to remain as a one and united nation.
According to him, “All of us have however agreed that our nation must remain one. When we spoke yesterday with traditional rulers from the South-East; despite the issues that were raised here and there. I think that there is clarity as to that one thing, that our country ought to remain, must remain a united country.
“Just as I said to them yesterday, a lot of blood has been shed on account of the unity of our country and our faithfulness even to the lives of those who have made the supreme sacrifice to this country, demands that we do everything on our part to keep this country together.
“And in any event, the greatest nations in the world are those nations who have the size as well as the human resources in particular to make the best of that size, and I think our nation has that and the mere fact that we have such a large nation and so well-endowed, in terms of human resources.
“I think that we are in the best position not only to be truly great but to ensure that all of our people benefit from the greatness of our country.
“So, I want to thank you again for your kindness and for doing us this honour of attending this Iftar and for sharing the love of the season.
“I pray that the almighty God will bless you and keep your kingdoms safe and also extend your own lives so that you will rule your kingdoms for long and you will rule your kingdoms in good health.”

Thats right Nigeria needs to be united n forget about this break up ish
We need a restructuring of the country- this so much injustice and inbalances
VP Osinbajo should be explaining and only explaining HOW he is CREATING jobs and growing wealth in the PRIVATE sector, not some fucked up meaningless comment on “breakup” associated to Nigeria.
VP Osinbajo talk jobs in EVERY sentence that comes out of your mouth and you see Nigeria’s economy BOOM again!
This time, when the economy picks back BOOMING again, I hope that Nigerians will not fall for the trick or misrepresentation that the booming economy is booming with corruptions and not real GROW, as it was during JONA’s administration as well as during Shagari’s administration – it was real growth.
To be clear, am telling you now that VP Osinbajo needs to talk jobs and do (create) jobs by making government work for the masses, and when that transpires, the economy will start booming again. Then, don’t listen to “those” THIRD WORLD EDUCATED Cockroaches listen to Diaspora Trained Expatriates NOT “some” of the non-performing 3rd world educated buffoons that perambulate the fora and the landscape of governor’s residence or state houses begging for contract instead of innovating and improvising in business management and operations. Nigeria’s educated class, and Joe Attueyi is a poster child of this culture and mindset, were not trained “to learn” and adapt they were trained to “memorize” and repeat the memorizations. Tufiakwa!
Stay tuned for jobs, jobs, and more fucking jobs. Nigerians need job creators, not jack off artists.

Nigeria can Nebr break up… God is on our side
We need to begin to treat eachother as our brothers and sisters if we are talking about staying United. Every life matters and everyone’s interest has to be protected.
Unity promotes fairness and equity, if not it will collapse. It is better not to divide but it is far much better to share the common good of the nature to a mininum satisfaction of each tribe. When people opt for divison.. it is because they are no longer comfortable the way things go.
