“If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.” The above statement is credited to Andrew Jackson, an English man, who threatened the Irish people when the latter wanted to separate from the United Kingdom. In spite of that threat, the Irish people left and formed the Republic of Ireland. Today, it is the Scottish people who are about to severe their relationship with the rest of the United Kingdom. Like the English, Igbo and Hausa/Fulani have always threatened to go to war if Yoruba tries to break away from Nigeria. These two ethnic groups destroyed Nigeria when they suspended #TrueFederalism and instituted a unitary system in 1966 respectively. Nigeria like Sudan and Indian created by the British colonial thugs would soon give way to new nations.
