Most Nations are largely heterogeneous!
Nation-building requires one thing "Value System"
Nigeria has incompatible value systems.

Eg "The American value system is rooted in freedom.

What is the Nigerian Dream?
South East, Far North, South West all have a divergent value system.
Building a nation has nothing to do with love or the absence of war.
But working together to create a better place for us and our future generation.

In Nigeria, our divergent values do not align.
Our Ethnic identities supersede our nationality.
But we've continued to pretend
In Igbo land, the thought of looting Umunna's fund would be inconceivable, cos the consequences are unknown.
Community Development is paramount!

Who loots from their father's house? Of course, Nigerians do!

Development? They're jokers!

Nobody gives a damn, cos it a jungle.
For a fact, every Ethnic group would do great on their own, irrespective of their intra-differences, provided they share the same value system.

So dead the talk on "How divided South East is and how it will turn into South Sudan."

It is obsolete and ridiculous.
It is actually a reflection of your zero insight of the people.

Democracy is deeply rooted in Igbo culture, which is very inconsistent with the Feudalism (North) and semi-feudalism(West).

The reason "Igbo Enwe Eze" is very popular.
It gives us the freedom to express ourselves.
The truth is, No matter what S Sudan has gone through, they're way better than being with N.Sudan.

People tend to adopt failed instances to validate their preconceived bias, that's typical, but leaping, South Korea, Singapore, to South Sudan is rather disingenuous.
There is nothing more important than allowing a group of people to control their destiny, iow, FREEDOM!

See, decentralizing this big for nothing country would be a win-win for all.

It is time we avert the looming disaster than parroting fallacies like One Nigeria.
Have you ever heard of One Ghana? or One Liberia?
Why are we forcing a marriage that never happened?

If a group decides to kill off themselves, that's their business, it shouldn't be a concern.

After all that has always been the dream since 1966.

Forced Unity is No Unity.
