But this same man went about forcing kings to take up his religion.
Many king became Muslims cause they will not be given staf as
Christians or traditional worshippers. And if paradventure they did
become king as non Muslim they suffered from serious antagonism. this
happened especially in d middle belt.
NB. Hitler was very charismatic and eloquent that many thought he was d
Messiah of his nation.

Doc, I served in Sokoto to be precise. I'll not be partial in my post. I must say that the North in general is nothing to write home about. May be you are from an elite family thus you were able to get educated; however 90% of your kins are wallowing abject poverty and ignorance. People from the North need to be exposed to the new age.

Nevertheless, the South is not good as we paint it either. There is a lot of corruption down here. Education in the South has made them bigger thieves and I don't expect less from the Educated Northerner.

Nafeesa AA: SIR AHMADU BELLO'S (Sardauna) XMAS MESSAGE TO NORTHERN CHRISTIANS IN
1959
We are people of many different races, tribes and religions, who are knit together by common history, common interests and common ideals. Our diversity may be great but the things that unite us are stronger than the things that divide us. On an occasion like this, I always remind people about our firmly rooted policy on religious tolerance. Families of all creeds and colour can rely on these assurances. We have no intention of favouring one religion at the expense of another. Subject to overriding need to preserve law and order, it is our determination that everyone should have absolute liberty to practise his beliefs. It is befitting on this momentous day, on behalf of my ministers and myself, to send a special word of gratitude to all Christian missions. Let me conclude this with a personal message. I extend my greetings to all our people who are christians on this great feast day. Let us forget the difference in our religion and remember the common brotherhood before God, by dedicating ourselves afresh to the great tasks which lie before us.

Ibo-Killer:





But Ibos have been telling their offspring that Hausas have always hated them and their religion. Wow!!

dayokanu: This was the man some never do well went to kill i his house with his wife.

May those who killed him and other leaders on January 15 1966 never know peace in their life till the 6th generation and all those related to them

jerseyboy: Deception. Taking Christians in the North for MUGUS that they were before their eyes opened. Action speaks louder than words.

DanNafada: 1. For those of you who think the real Sardauna was, in truth against the South and Northern minority Christians:
He was the Premier of the Northern region and his allegiance was to his people firstly. As was that of Zik to the Igbos and Awolowo to the Yorubas. That being said, despite the quote from The Parrot, he did NOT marginalise Northern Christians and indeed his main legacy was uniting Northern Nigeria despite tribe and creed.

2. For those who curse the grandchildren of the people that killed Sardauna:
Shame. It is great injustice to visit the crime of any individual onto their descendants.

3. For those who never thought an "Aboki" could be so articulate:
When I did my Youth Service in Ogun state the first thing I noticed was the complete ignorance on the North and Northerners. A good many people came up to me expressing surprise about my English and the fact that I was a medical doctor. The majority of those who had a strong opinion on the North were those that had never crossed the Niger. Almost certainly that is still the case, despite the internet bringing us closer and closer together.

The majority of Nairalanders are Southerners that, as far as Northerners are concerned, are blissful in their ignorance. That ignorance does not change the facts about our education and our elite in Nigeria and abroad, that we already know and are proud of.

This is the real Sadauna. As for fluency of the original post, the British aid wrote it for him. Remember this was pre-independence in 1959. The above quote in the month of independence October 1960 after the British aids had departed is more reflective of the man. His supporters should not bury their heads in the sand like the above was never said.

BlueMurder:

Your post reeks of arrogance and the typical southern superiority complex. Your claim that you served in Sokoto implies that you are a graduate. Can you please substantiate your claim that 90% of Northerners are wallowing in abject poverty and ignorance?

Jarus:
His action actually matched his words. Chief Sunday Awoniyi, a. Yoruba christian northerner from today's Kogi, was his secretary. There were other Christian leaders around him like J.S Tarka, Ishaya Audu, Silas Daniyan etc.

They are the ones who sowed the seed of discord along religious and tribal lines.

If you really take your time to research on this country you will see Gods hand in everything that has happened from 1960 till date in keeping Nigeria as one united entity.
