| And so what ? We spend on our children to educate them they spend their on underage marriage, at the end they were killing our children.for what? If it's to break, break men.
I hate to mince words, why don't you break it? I don't see you bringing out any knife to divide your illusionary fragility and therefore desire not to tarry with unelightened dross. I quit as a consequence. See you in 'Banana Republic'! | | |

| No I disagree with you dude, your examples are loose not water tight, the prophet is right. India is about 1,2 Billion, different religions but common background
Pakistan are about 98% Muslims, mainly fanatics.
China is about 1,6Billion, has a system problem called communism, not religious
Russia as soviet union was as far as Ukraine, white Russia letland Iceland Uzbekistan etc..
Mexico has drug issues as national challenge and not religious.
Iran has about 95% Muslims, though they never have conflicts of religion, rather politics.
Turkey are mainly Muslims with about 5% Christains, Their problems are with the Kurdistan who dominates the northern Turkey. Their leader Ochlan has been kept in jail for almost twenty years for actively involving in fighting for secession of the Kurdistan from Turkey. Both parties are Muslims.
Nigeria has a bigger problem, three major ethnic groups that have notting in common, held together by Britain. Bone of contention, Religion & Oil = Power!
My guy, I will appeal to you to eschew this tribal and religious bigotry and confused history you appear to propagate on Naijapals. You need to travel the world to see that hardly can you find a country where everybody belongs to one tribe or religion. I will take apart your disjointed rejoinder to my comments by starting with India, a former colony of Britain:
The Constitution of India recognises 212 scheduled tribal groups. Hinduism, with over 800 million adherents, is the largest religion in India; they are followed by Muslims , Christians , Sikhs , Buddhists , Jains , Jews, Zoroastrians, and Bahá'ís. India has the world's third-largest Muslim population in the world. About 43% of Indians speak Hindi while the rest speak Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi and other languages. Almost 45% of the Muslims speak Urdu while the rest speak Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kashmiri, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and other languages. About one-third of the Christians speak Malayalam, one-sixth speak Tamil while the rest speak a variety of languages. In total, there are 1,652 languages and dialects spoken in India.
There is a number of ethnic strife in India where some have taken up arms against the state demanding more autonomy and others, like in Kashmir, are demanding total independence. There are over 600 million Indians who live in abject poverty of less than $2 a day. This is equivalent to 4 times Nigerian population! Your claim that these differing ethnicity is of the same background is totally false.
Russia has 160 ethnic groups who speak some 100 languages. Russia has oil. There are over 20 million Muslims in Russia. Other religions include orthodox Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism. Chechnya fought a brutal war of secession and was equally brutally crushed. Terrorism is on-going in Russia as well as in USA, both of whom have oil. China officially recognizes 56 distinct ethnic groups. These ethnic groups speak a variety of languages including Mandarin, Wu, Shanghainese, Yue, Cantonese , Taishanese, Min , Hokkien and Teochew, Xiang, Gan, and Hakka. Other languages spoken widely by other ethnic minorities include Zhuang, Mongolian, Tibetan, Uyghur, Hmong and Korean. Standard Mandarin, a variety of Mandarin based on the Beijing dialect, is the official national language of China and is used as a lingua franca between people of different linguistic backgrounds. There is several conflicts hanging around China’s neck, not least Tibet , Taiwan and internal ethnic terrorism as reported widely in recent years. Yet nobody is calling for division of China!
Turkey is locked in a tug of war with Kurdistan. Iran and Iraq are in similar situation with diversed ethnicity and oil. Nobody is calling for their division.
Pakistan has over 60 ethnic groups speaking languages ranging from Punjabi, Saraiki, Pashto, Sindh to Balochi. In the Northwest, there is armed conflict going on. Bombs go off like popcorn daily, and yet you claim Nigeria has more problem? You must be kidding!
Mexico is ethnically diversed; the various indigenous peoples and European immigrants are united under a single national identity.
In Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica many cultures matured into advanced civilizations such as the Olmec, the Toltec, the Teotihuacan, the Zapotec, the Maya and the Aztec before the first contact with Europeans.
In 1521, Spain conquered and colonized the territory from its base in México-Tenochtitlan, which was administered as the Viceroyalty of New Spain. This territory would eventually become Mexico as the colony's independence was recognized in 1821.
The post-independence period was characterized by economic instability, the Mexican-American War and territorial cession to the United States, a civil war, two empires and a domestic dictatorship. The latter led to the Mexican Revolution in 1910, which culminated with the promulgation of the 1917 Constitution and the emergence of the country's current political system.
Elections held in July 2000 marked the first time that an opposition party won the presidency from the Institutional Revolutionary Party.
Mexico is home to a large number of indigenous languages. The indigenous languages with most speakers are Nahuatl, Yukatek, Maya Mixtec, and Zapotec languages. In total there are over 68 ethnic groups speaking 364 different specific varieties of indigenous languages. In conclusion, it is only on Naijapals that one keeps hearing this confused noise of tribal and religious bigots to divide Nigeria at a drop of a hat as if she is some cake or because we don’t speak one language or have the same religion or that armed conflict is going on. If you want a country of your own where everyone speaks your language or your religion, you can crown yourself chief apartheid joker of the century.Your argument that Nigeria should divide because 3 disparate ethnic groups or tribes were brought together by Britain is childish and or elementary when 160 ethnic groups form Russian Federation and over 1652 form India. | | |

| I can't imagine why any human should rejoice in any death be it that of muslim or christian? These are fellow Nigerians and the fact that the police station and the prison are in Gombe does not mean that all the police men there or the wardens are muslim. Anybody in Nigeria can be posted to work anywhere and prisoners can come from any where in Nigeria. People should show maturity with their comments! | | | |
