If it happens, Yorubas around Lagos will secede as well. Nigeria will give birth to three countries. The population is also crippling, by 2050, nigeria will have over 350 million people.
The problem is that the politically dominant group, Hausa-Fulani, contribute very little economically, yet they take everything, including oil revenues from the south, because of their numbers.

Hehehe remember when Gaddafi was alive? He called for the country to be split into Islam-Christian parts. I don't think that would be a solution - South Sudan being an example. Inclusivity.
But this is Africa. Each would prefer to tyrannize their own.
Meanwhile, I thought the Igbo & Yoruba were the most there?

we dont have a politically dominant group in terms of numbers. In Nigeria, Hausa-Fulani can win elections alone, they number about 100M, in a population of about 180M. Fulani was a different group but they have adopted Huasa language and because of intermarriages, they are basically one now sharing Islam as their common religion
Kama umesoma "half of a yellow sun" you will get a glimpse on history of the Biafran war. Then there's the Igbo-Yoruba scuffle that I imagine is similar to the Luo-Kikuyu scenario here in Kenya. Those Dangote cousins you see in Nairobi are most probably Yoruba, a mixture of the stereotypical luo flamboyancy with a tincture of the shiny eye conman instinct, but to a higher degree.
For South Sudan it is a classic example of ungovernable people lying to themselves they are better on their own.
In Kenya, devolution is a pragmatic way of giving power to the people. How counties are run is a good example of how they would turn out if they were to secede. Currently there are numerous basket cases of counties that do not add value to the national cake and blame the central government for all their woes, let them leave.
