The Myths, Restructuring The Nigerian State
"Those who are advocating for the restructuring of the Nigerian Federation into a federation of nationalities and ethnic groups have failed to grasps the substance of the historical process which produced our ethnic groups and the Nigerian polity. Not only do they repeat blatant falsehood about how Nigeria came into being, but they seem oblivious of the impossibility of demarcating the boundary between most of the ethnic groups of the contemporary Nigeria and their neighbors.

Any attempt to carve out the territories of Nigerian ethnic groups, or even sub-ethnic groups, to create ethnically based federating units, will lead to violent conflicts and sustain civil war, because there is no basis for these boundaries at the ethnic level, given the mosaic nature of the ethnic and cultural geography of Nigeria and most of Africa".
