“It is actually funny how some of these people protest in foreign lands and United Nations headquarters,sadly, even if they protest on the moon, their request will not be granted.

“Dividing the country will not make any part of the country a better nation whether Yoruba Nation or Biafra.

“What every Nigerian needs at this point is to have a reorientation and change of mindset towards our country.

“It is time to be more patriotic and work effortlessly towards building a Nigeria that works rather than tribalistic Yoruba and Biafra Nation.

“You can’t be living peacefully and comfortably wherever you are and be fuelling a crisis in your motherland.
