The political, ethnic and religious tensions in the country, accentuated
by the tussle for the 2015 Presidency, have begun to make many people
raise the alarm that the often misquoted and misrepresented personal
comments of the participants at the United States’ National Intelligence
Council conference of the possibility of a break-up of Nigeria in 2015,
if certain things occurred, is about to come to fruition.
Many people have often quoted the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency as the body that made that prediction so as to give that misrepresentation more authenticity. But reports show that some participants at the National Intelligence Council conference had noted that if some junior officers were to stage a coup in Nigeria, it could cause a crisis of immense proportions in Nigeria, which could destabilise the West African sub-region.
