After Brexit’s outcome, read what Ben Bruce said about Biafrexit

Senator Ben Murray Bruce has lend his voice to the issue of Biafrexit says Nigeria is better as a single nation.

Following the referendum in Britain on Thursday, June 23 which saw the country pull out of the European Union, some pro-Biafra agitators have been calling for a similar referendum that will see the Igbos leave the country.

Senator Ben Bruce took to his twitter page to want Nigerians especially those calling for secession to think twice as the country has a lot to benefit as one rather than to disintegrate.

Brexit hit the British economy hard. I’m sure they’ll recover. But what does it mean for Nigeria? It means we’re better as one united nation

The amount the world has lost due to Brexit is over $2 trillion so far. More than UK ever gave EU. Nations are better together than apart!
