Let's just divide Nigeria

It's time to part ways! We have indeed come a long way, but it is time for us to go different ways. Things that separate us overshadow those that unite us, and indeed, we never agreed to walk together at the beginning, more reason why the 'walking' is difficult (Can two walk together unless they agree? - Amos 3: 3)
What's the gain of trying to safe a marriage that took place without the consent of the couples? Couples that are not compatible! The marriage without 'I do' is heading towards the path of dissolution. And some are advocating for a 'drastic divorce'.
I do believe that two can't walk together unless they agree, but come to think of it, we have walked together for almost 56 years!!! Despite all the challenges, we are still one. Is it now time for us to destroy a journey of 56 years? Imagine a man, after 56 years of marriage, divorcing his wife? 

I have always been believing in this country. I have always been believing that we can live together as one united entity. We may have many things that divide us but certain things do unite us, why can't we strengthen those things that unite us?
To those who think it's time we go separate ways, you think it's easy to divide a country? I do believe we passed through many challenges that were strong enough to divide us, but unity prevailed. In the future, there may be an undeniable reason for us to divide, but for now, there is none.
I look forward to a Nigeria where each region controls her resources. I look forward to a true federalism. Never mind the heading, it's indeed time to strengthen our unity.
