“If one Nigeria is not working, let people separate” — Odumeje

Controversial Nigerian cleric Chukwuemeka Odumeje has stirred reactions after making strong comments about the state of Nigeria.

“If you people cannot handle the country as they call one Nigeria, s£p@rat£ the country. Let’s separate this one Nigeria. Because I did not see anything coming out on it,” he said.

Odumeje also criticized political leaders, accusing some of focusing on personal gain instead of improving the welfare of citizens.

He pointed to issues such as poor roads, lack of constant electricity, and insecurity in parts of the Niger Delta, arguing that regions rich in natural resources have not seen enough development.

His words in full …

“If you people cannot handle the country as they call one Nigeria, s£p@rat£ the country. Let’s separate this one Nigeria. Because I did not see anything coming out on it. The only thing that come out in one Nigeria is a personal achievement from personal families. They are happy enjoying the resources that belong to anybody. Governors, they are happy embezzling the money that belongs to everybody. I have never seen anything come out in that one Nigeria. Nothing is working out in this Nigeria. No job, no security, no 24 hours light, no good road. The Deltas have oil is there any good thing in Delta? is there a good road in delta? is there any 24 hours in Delta? is there security there? Everybody can go to their own country. If they can be able to control their wealth, fine. If they can’t control, fine. More to gather people together and people you don’t know where they are coming, kelleeing innocent people for nothing.”
