HOW NIGERIA WAS DIVIDED BY THE MEDIA
SOUTH WEST (YORUBA) RULED NIGERIA MORE THAN ANY REGION


We have been confused and deceived so many times by both foreign and local media organizations,reporting a Nigeria divided along region and religion. They claim times and again that this beautiful Nigeria is divided between the North and the South,which they described as the South dominated by Christians and the North by Muslims.

But let us expose their deceit.

Nigeria was never divided between the North vs South and infact, there is nothing like North and south in Nigeria.

In 1960, Nigeria operated a parliamentary form of Government, where it was divided into 3 regions. Western, Eastern and Northern Region. There was nothing Like North Vs South.

It was after the civil war of 1967 that Nigeria was divided into what we have today, the 6 geo political zones.

So, Nigeria was divided into 6 zones (South West,South East,South South,North West,North East and North Central.) it was not divided into 2 as mostly claimed in the media.

There is nothing like Northern or southern Nigeria in this present Nigeria. It is those politicians who seek to ride on the ignorance of most people that adopted the services of the media organizations to spread FALSE propaganda.

Nigeria has six zones which include:

1. South West which comprise of tribes dominated by the Yoruba's
2. South east which comprise of tribes dominated by the Igbo's
3. South South which comprise of different tribes dominated by the like of Edo's,Ijaw, etc
4. North West which comprise of tribes dominated by the Hausa's
5. North Easts which comprise of so many tribes like,Fulani,Kanuri etc and
6. North Central which comprise of so many tribes dominated by the Yoruba's,middle belt,Nupe,Gwari etc.

Out of the 3 geo political zones situated in the north, only the north west can be said to be comprise of majorly Muslims. The North east and North central has mix religion. and also, out of the 3 geo political zones situated in the South, Only South east and south South can boast of majorly Christians, south west is mix.

Every one out of the six geo political zones has different reasoning and different challenges.

Every geo political zones out of the six zones in Nigeria comprise of not less than 50 tribes, every one having its own custom and political ideology.

When the failed politicians want to denigrate the 3 zones in the north, they would refer to the 3 zones in the north as one and accuse the north of ruling Nigeria for more years than any other region, while separating the 3 zones in the south,making each one retain its standard.

But in reality, the southwest (yoruba), a zone out of the six geo political zones has actually ruled Nigeria more than any other zone. no one single zone in the north had ruled Nigeria like the south west. No tribe in tribe in Nigeria had ruled like the Yoruba's.

Not Hausa, Not Fulani,not even kanuri, but the yoruba's ruled Nigeria more than any tribe. The record is very clear. But it is not about who had ruled or who had not, all those who ruled in the past and those ruling at present had proven to be failed leaders. The New generation of Nigerians must reason as a genuine brothers not divided along region or religion, we must ensure we restyle power from the hands of the failed leaders and ensure the best rules.
