Is she too important or too sensitive to split? Even if it means that the distinct regions may renegotiate to come together at their own terms? The truth is that the agitation is beyond settlement at this point. So much opportunities have been lost to nip the problem associated with the unsolicited and un-negotiated unification of the hitherto regions by the white man (strangers). No palliative would satiate or fully appease the Eastern region, craftly branded Niger Delta, by an ostensible divide and rule arrangement. The present situation has seen virtually all parts and all levels of the indigenes of the region highly enlightened about their ownership of the oil which has been feeding the growth of other regions at their detriment. Nothing can replace taking back your heritage, fully. It is often a struggle that people will die for and resurrect to fight for. The earlier Nigeria begin to think along the line of giving back to each region what belongs to them and letting the people decide how they want to run their affairs as in their natural pre-colonial existence, it would be near impossible to come up with a permanent solution to the issue of agitation in the Eastern region. The earlier we begin to stop some divisive terms like South-South, Niger Delta, etc when describing the region, the quicker the people can begin to perceive sincerity in any discussion relating to the issues. Sincerely, if these people had not began militarizing their quests would have been listened to in the first place? Has Nigerian governments past and especially present not attempted to call their bluff, before taking them serious? Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286037337042250574noreply@blogger.com
