Real Estate Today? Profitable or a lost course

Secession according to the Merriam Webster dictionary simply means the withdrawal to privacy or solitude. According to an article published on imformationguidenigeria.com causes of ethnic dispute include tribalism, inequality, ownership of land, religious intolerance, marginalization and even amalgamation among others. My opponent might claim this factors are not enough to consider secession as a solution, however the consequences of this factors is enough reasons to. Please help me paint this scenario, a Yoruba mother of about four little children, wakes up early in the morning to proclaim what she believes in after all we all have right to our religious believes, not more than 10minutes of leaving home she was butchered by some useless Nigerians with knives and cutlasses. Imagine the tears on her little children, imagine the sorrow bestowed upon them, imagine her first child a 15year old girl crying out loud, they killed my mother like a chicken and left her to die, please just imagine. What you imagined now is what happened on July 11 2016 in Abuja according to vanguard.

Please let it be noted that it should not be until death gets to the peak before the only solution secession would be considered by then it would be too late. War will be the only solution, why create a situation where people would have to unlawfully use unlawful means to put the law in their own hands when there is a justifiable tool, secession.

At this point I will like my opponent to explain why a typical Igbo man would prefer to kill an Hausa man why he would gladly like invite a Ghanian man in for palm wine. It is simple we are just living together we were not meant to be together. When Nigeria was joined together as one, in the 1914 amagalmation. It was never our choice, it is not too late to make the right choice our fore fathers couldn’t make.

Julius Nyere a prominent African Stateman once said, when the machinery of the state and the power of the government are turned against a whole group of a society on the ground of racial, tribal or religious prejudices, then the victims have the right to take back the power they have surrendered and to defend themselves.

For God sake according to Chapter IV section 35 of our 1999 national constitution, it is well written, we have the right to personnel liberty. We have to fight for what belongs to us but no opportunity was given for us to even feel it, Our birth right was taken from us. We cannot continue to live like strangers in our own fatherland where an hausa man is scared of going to a small community in a Yoruba land, where a igbo man is afraid of walking on a Fulani road. If as voluminous as our 1999 national constitution is and it is finding it hard to put Nigerians together as one what makes my opponent think his two pages speech would keep Nigeria in one peace. It is true our fathers fought for our independence that was from the colonial masters. It is time for us all to fight for our second independence. The second independence will be our true independence and secession is that independence.

Till when are we going to continue the altitude of a Yoruba man must be the president this year, an hausa man must be the president next year, July 7 1998 is a memorable day when M.K. Abiola was killed due to ethnicity. If my opponent comes to here to say anything about unity he will be wrong because we are already separated as a country, it is not just official why not for once let’s just separate and feel the kind of peace Nigerians have with Togo, Ghana, Cameroun, instead of butchering ourselves and claiming to be Nigerians, why not just build ourselves in diversity instead of falling in unity.
