This question has been on many lips for years and I think it is time we face it honestly. Will dividing Nigeria bring the peace we are all desperately craving? Some people say yes. They argue that the country was forced together by colonialists who never cared about our differences. That our ethnic tensions, religious conflicts, and regional imbalances are too deep to fix under one roof. That separation is the only honest solution. Others say no. That division will only create smaller versions of the same problem. That the corruption, the greed, and the bad leadership we are running from will follow us into whatever new nations we create. That our real enemy is not each other but the elite class that has always used our differences to stay in power. And honestly? Both sides have a point worth hearing. But here is what breaks my heart. While we argue about division, real people are dying. Communities are being destroyed. Children are growing up without knowing what safety feels like. The urgency is not the debate. The urgency is the suffering. Whether Nigeria stays one or not, the question we must answer first is this. Are we willing to hold our leaders accountable? Are we willing to demand better from ourselves and the people we put in power? Because no map can fix a people who refuse to demand justice. What do you think? Should Nigeria divide or stay together? Be honest. π
