Clearly nationalism and unity doesn't work. There's no balkanizing as different states would still be under the federal administration of Somalia while protecting sovereignty of states and land.Balkanization will not work. All it will do is create more conflict, over who owns what land, who owns what resources and so on. Say oil is found tomorrow in the disputed galmudug/puntland region. Now what? War is inevitable.
What's even the point in splitting up? How come other African countries are capable of living under centralized governments but Somalis are somehow unable to? Somalia is stronger together, if people move beyond clan divisions.
The Hawiye attack on Darood during the civil war taught us (Majerteen at least) to go back to our regions and enforce borders and protect our people. There is still on going conflict in Mudug, hence the green line in Galkayco.
Because of clan fighting, massacres, and cleansing it's better for different clans to be in charge of their own affairs. That's how Somalis solve disputes via the xeer system anyway.
