Dear Mayowa,

I find this a thoughtful and interesting idea, and a necessary one too. However, although I think this is a great idea in principle, I think it would be rather impossible in practice.

For example, in the north, where there is relatively little in the way of the natural resources from which Nigeria receives a great deal of income, people may not be so receptive to the idea of a split of Nigeria.

Furthermore, this may not reduce corruption but rather spread it between the newly formed nations and lead to a power vacuum.
