"ONE NIGERIA" IS A DECEIVING PHRASE

The phrase "One Nigeria" is foreign to us the Biafrans. Yes, we know about Arewa and Oduduwa, but the term "one Nigeria" know we not. It is the fabrication of one Mr. Frederick Lugard, a British who was sent into Africa by the British to look for greener pasture for Britain. By an act of force, he compelled our people to live together with Arewa and Oduduwa and named the association Nigeria. Meanwhile, the three nations are not the same in nature, Culture, Religion, we don't eat the same type of food, and our system of living is not the same.

Both Ariwa and Oduduwa base on Biafra resources for survival in the name of one Nigeria. In the name of one Nigeria, the resources of Biafra are used to provide good roads for Arewa and Oduduwa but none for Biafra.

One Nigeria is a deceiving phrase because, those who feel they are born to rule being the Arewas, will develop the north using Biafrans mineral resources, but keep Biafra behind. Where is the "one Nigeria?

Today, those in power have changed our name from Biafra to South East and South South, by the same people who said that, no tribe can take power from them, that is why Mohamadu Buhari said that he will make government ungovernable for Goodluck Jonathan and he did, by using Bokoharam to scatter Goodluck Jonathan led regime. Where is one Nigeria?

Now see some schools built by the Nigerian government and their locations in the so called one Nigeria:
