What
inspired the Pro-Nigeria Group?
What inspired the Pro-Nigeria Group was that when I was graduating from the university, I had two options – to remain in Nigeria or travel out of the country. I chose to remain in Nigeria to work and prosper. I have stayed in Nigeria from 1998 till date, and I think I have prospered. So when I began to hear the voices of agitation that Nigeria should break, I thought that should a war break out in Nigeria, then one may have to travel out. This means one will have to begin life afresh. It is only advisable to stay within and look for a solution and ensure that Nigeria does not break up and that there is no war. That is the reason I came up with Pro-Nigeria Group in support of the unity of Nigeria, which many think is already lost.
