Chairman of the National Summit Group (NSG), Alhaji Tanko Yakassai on Tuesday said he was happy that the country has survived as a nation despite many negative forces that have attempted to destroy its corporate existence.
Speaking in Lagos at the special expanded National Working Committee meeting of the NSG, Yakassai said his optimism for a better and united Nigeria grew after the Abuja meeting between the NSG and the Arewa Consultative forum (ACF), where it was agreed that there was need for all Nigerians to come together to identify areas of differences and use dialogue as a tool to expedite understanding among all groups and interests in the country.
He commended members of the group for their dedication and oneness, as he called on all to contribute their quota in planning a feasible path for Nigeria’s future as a united and prosperous nation, where justice, peace equity and the rule of law reign.
He said though the country was made up of varying diversities of cultures, interests, “it is therefore to be expected that although we have many commonalities, we also have quite a few areas of differences. It is in a bid to seek amicable resolution of these differences that at times seems to threaten to divide us that this body, the NSG, emerged in February this year, and reached out to diverse interest groups, including the ACF.”
Alhaji, pls i will suggest that u should think and talk about Nigeria and leave tribalism and religion. At ur age, u should be an agent of unity and not disunity. You should stop comments that are not fitting for ur age. You should recognise that every Nigerian has equal stake in this nation and that no one or section of the country is more equal than others.
Ladies & gentlemen, do u know tha with only N1500 today, ur financial problem will be over by becoming a Netcontacts member, and be paid N1500 for each person u invite to register as member also, click here http://xrl.us/bnxwkg and register to get started, Netcontacts is real, i urge u to embrace it and make alots of benefits.

I have said it many time our problem as a country is tribalism, look at a man of your age is here telling Nigerians that when your optimism grew for a better and united Nigeria is after Abuja meeting. The NSG and Arewa consultative forum(ACF) had metting, then you now know that there was need for all Nigerians to come together to identify areans of differences, before this admistration from 1960-2009 you dont know that there was need for all Nigerians to come together to identify areans of differences. BORN TO RULE MENTALITY IS DANGEROUS, IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT KILL AFRICAN POLITICS
I will like all the peoples of nigeria to join mind and pray over our nation,for our benefit,before it’s too late.

You can not cover what will happen coming 2014.No need to talk now,please Alhaji wait till 2014 we will talk. but if you want peace now,talk to your children BOKO HARAMS or better leave it till 2014 everybody will talk together fool
Yakassai, talkative the game is up. stop wasting your time, the country will depart by 2014. It is like you have seen the handwriting on the wall. Boko Haram you created will hunt your region forever.
See who is calling for national dialogue. Alhaji, are you done with bombing churches and christians? Please continue because there are still more churches and christians in the north to be destroyed so that you can actualize your islamic state of boko haram.
Hello Kano, Maiduguri, Yobe, Bauchi, Kaduna, Gombe states, etc. how far nau?????
ALHAJI GOOD MORNING SIR YOUR DAY HAS BREAK. UNITY MY ASS. YOU BETTER GO DESTROY THE REMAINING OF WESTERNER EDUCATION IN YOUR AREA NOW. FOR WE, WE LIKE WESTERNER EDUCATION AND MOREOVER LIGHT AND DARKNESS HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTING IN COMMON.
Onye Amagunze my distant cousin how nice to read from someone from my beloved Nkanu.
A fable nation, a make-believe country, and a land of hypocrisy. What dialogue are they talking about when islamists has declared war against the church and non muslims? Perhaps they want us to accede to their demand of converting to islam. Any dialogue that does not involve debating humane basis for cohesion or peaceful dissolution of the country is a mere costmetic exercise.

One nigeria my foot, we are not one and can never be one period. Se/Ss let’s unite and build a formidable and unified country that will benefit our children unborn. Ariwa and Yoruba can work together
We are always distracted by business man in other countries selling heavy arms and ammunitions. They leave their own peaceful country to places like africa to secretly cause war by any means(boko haram, Mend, opc, massob) so that they can sell they weapons of mass distruction. It is high time we resist and move forward because africa is very powerful. They distracting us(africa) so that we would not know they are stealing from us. Eg us, iran, china, russia, britian, saudi arabia business men. Watch the movie war lord by nicholas cage.
Alhaji Yakassai you should know that,Nigeria of today is totally different from past decades. South are more wiser now. You northerners should stop playing all those dity games over south. Nothing like unity, north is our major problem right from 60s. South want unity but you people dont want it. Simply because you people want tobe incharge and control every thing,and which is in possible. Every thing already fall apart, the killing of christians and burning their places of worship is too much. There can never ever be peace in Nigeria any more. You people are just after all what your forefathers said. I know for sure that, all this killings would never ever stop. Is better we go on our seperate ways peacefully
good talk both yakassai and commdntators. The joy of the whole drama has been made known that any region can depart after 100years of the accidental marriage called amalgamation. The security should bear in mind that after 2014 seccession shall no longer be an offence in Nigeria
