Talks on dividing Nigeria breaks up over who will get Jonathan
18 Jul 2011

He's holding Nigeria together in more ways than one
Abuja – Wazobia Report can exclusively reveal that a high profile panel of Nigerian elders has been secretly holding talks on what to do should Nigeria break up.
The panel of very important Nigerians was put together by the forward thinking president as a pre-emptive measure in-case the current agitations for separation become impossible to ignore.
Members of the panel include Nigeria’s past rulers who are important in any debate on the future of the Nation because they possess the unique experience of haven contributed in some way to the current mess, and as such, are uniquely positioned to know what not to do.
Other members of the panel include the current first lady and past first ladies - because they insisted on being part of the talks and going on fact-finding missions to Europe and America.
Top on the agenda was the division of Government owned companies such as NITEL and PHCN.
It was quickly agreed that should Nigeria be divided, both PHCN and NITEL will be sold to whoever is foolish enough to want them.
Things were moving ahead swimmingly until the issue of the current president of Nigeria came up.
No matter what hypothetical lines the former leaders divided Nigeria by, no representative of any of the theoretical new nations wanted to keep the current president.
This failure to reach a consensus on what to do with GEJ, has led to a stalemate which has in effect stalled further discussions on the issue.
