Text of the Speech:	Almost every region wants Nigeria dissolved or at least restructured into semi-independent regions. Except the North.The North can even deploy military force to maintain Nigeria's unity. This patriotism and love for Nigeria is why the British prefers the North in power.The North loves Nigeria so much that the mere idea that any region wants independence irritates its ruling class The love for Nigeria is so deep that a genocide was committed in the South East to save Nigeria Murdering more than 2 million people is a little price to pay for 9ja.And look at the backlash at the idea of Amotekun by the South West. It threatens the unity of Nigeria. And as usual, the North is up in its whole might and arm to crush it before becomes a real threat. And the South West is politically primitive to even consider Amotekun.Any action that threatens the unity of Nigeria is politically primitive. Even if the action benefits the people of that particular region. The North is that elder brother that keeps the other regions of Nigeria in check for the greater good. Nigeria's unity is non-negotiable.One day we will appreciate Northern Nigeria for all the great effort it has put into ensuring Nigeria survives. When Nigeria finally starts functioning as a superpower in the future, we will look back and glory will be given to the North, Nigeria's guardian angels.Until that day comes, let's keep enduring the extreme poverty, the insecurity, the corruption and wastefulness by mostly Northern elites, the incessant crisis and much more. Nigeria shall be great one day. Somehow somehow sha, we shall be great. Just believe in the North
