Nigeria is already a human rights abuse .by Femi Olajide

The philosophy of ‘One Nigeria’ is the major driving factor of disunity in Nigeria. I have an elderly friend who still refers to his wife as “my father’s wife” Their marriage has been like that of cat and dogs. As an only son, his father forced him to marry early and to achieve this, they chose a wife for him, paid her dowry and transported her down to Lagos, where the man saw her for the first time and was forced to marry her. With time both of them discovered they were not meant to be, but fear of societal shame has kept them together in fear.
In another case, I built a small Christian community centre for students. When they came to live together, I strictly warned them not to contribute money for any form of community cooking. I told each person to have his stove and cooked whatever he liked. Unfortunately they negated this advise and decided to contribute money and cook from one central pot. Not long the cord of unity was broken. Quarrel broke out.
Some of the students were not willing to make contributions again. Some were not willing to do the actual cooking and the food also finished quickly because some had larger stomach than the other. Finally they settled to everyone to his kitchen and everyone to his pot and every one to his kind of food.
We must tell ourselves the truth, Nigeria cannot work. Nigeria can only work under a restructured model like that of Scotland and England. Isn’t it wonderful that despite the fact that Scotland is part of Great Britain, she is playing at the World Cup as a country in her own right? Why can’t we have Biafra, Arewa, Yoruba, Akwacross, Ijaw, Edo Tiv, Jukun as nations with quasi sovereignty in a union? If this is not done, then Nigeria is already a human rights abuse and a huge humanitarian crisis in the quick making.

What you described in your last paragraph is a true federalism which every reasonable Nigerian is clamouring for.
Aguiyi Ironsi, an Igo man, started the slippery slope away from true federalism that existed at independence.
You will never see a Yoruba vote against true federalism because the south west prospered under it and was the the cynosure of all eyes in Nigeria at the time.

CBN is even buying dollars to ensure supply is managed to stem too sudden appreciation of Naira.

Peter Obi or any of the other contenders do not have the intelligent capacity nor economic and financial know-how that Tinubu and his team has exercised in less than a single term in office to turn Nigeria's economy around.
Let Obi and the rest keep on occupying NASS while Nigeria is moving out of the doldrums. Only fools and haters of Nigeria will change the capable hands turning around the fortune of the nation.
Only spoilsports and killjoys will venture so!
