  1. Me watching as a Nigerian: This is not looking very good 😨 But I still love your informative videos, friend. Seriously, damn good stuff. Also, though tribalism is a huge problem here that has seriously stifled our economic growth and progress and hindered long-term stability, I see more strong nationalist forces, increasing rates of industrialization, the deep-rooted fear of the political elite losing out in a disunited Nigeria, and sheer inertia all working together at keeping us together as a nation in the long-run.

  2.  @jayfizz545  My guy, believe me, I feel you and I even agree with your sentiments to a degree but realistically, I don't think the nation will break apart. I am not even a northerner; I am Edo. What I see happening is restructuring. The north has been the biggest obstacle to this but after the last 8 years of buhari foolani mismanagement, and the amount of increased poverty and terrorism that their region has experienced because of their baba in Aso Rock, they can no longer ignore the calls to restructure Nigeria and two of the candidates (Peter Obi and Atiku) have made it clear that they want to restructure Nigeria. You notice I don't mention tinubu at all because I doubt he will come close to winning as APC is increasingly hated. What will likely happen is that once the insecurity problem and economic issues have been addressed after the 2023 election, there will be working on changes like the constitution and making more decentralization, especially for the army and police. Basically, Nigeria will start to function like a proper republic and if they keep putting up hinderances, it will either result in break up or serious conflict and restructuring by force. As you said correctly, the north (especially their elites and rulers) know that they need us more than we need them. They have mismanaged their own region and their people are growing increasingly resentful of them.
