Why Can't Other Regions Be Like The Middlebelt? by Sweetlemon(f): 3:58pm On Jul 25, 2015
Do you know anyone that is very humble, peaceful, unassuming, adaptive, fun, yet intelligent irrespective of their religion? Check their state of origin, they're most likely from the middlebelt! Save for a few bad eggs, most have very endearing qualities.
I grew more respect for them during the elections, I thought they were going to vote against Buhari being a Fulani man because of the way fulani herdsmen and people bully them on their lands. But surprisingly, they gave majority votes to APC even though there's also a large Christian population there. It shows they may not be phyical fighters but they can reason strategically.

The North central is the only region that hardly has militants, "freedom fighters", or whatever silly, violent, directionless, selfish, groups all other regions have.

They go about their businesses without creating drama and irritaing tantrums at the drop of a hat. Sometimes they're mistaken for "slaves" or docile people but there's a difference between being docile and wise. They're wise enough to know that fighting for their own country when they know they're not economically, socially, or politically ready to stand on their own two feet or allowing some selfish politicians to use their youths to fight "marginalization" is just NOT the way out.

The rest of us should please borrow a leaf from them. We need it urgently.

Yeah voting happily for someone who comes from a group of people that have raped and killed you on an ongoing basis is very saintly. Agree. All Nigerians should be like this! Stop whining about marginalization, cause duh! Nigeria is equivalent to Sweden and Norway. Look at all the immigrants queueing at Nigerian embassies for a green card.

I like how middle-belters think.... Buhari could repay them in kind by addressing the genocide decimating them especially in Benue/Plateau but all that is just propaganda and wild exaggerations from the cries of wailers who should mind their business because it's a different region (comprised of another saintly species of Animal).

Who cares if just a few of them are being killed? Jolly, carefree fun times are all that matter! Let's put aside trivialties such as wide scale murder and genocide and vote for political strategy and inclusion!!! Wooooooo

We all hold hands be happy.....obliviously happy.

Thanks OP! I learned something new today! cheesy

Are SS not minorities as well?? And please don't tell me they (middlebelt) have nothing to fight for.
Look here, NO SINGLE region in this country is strong enough to stand alone. NONE. The south West might be the mnost politically mature BUT they still have a long way to go economically and socially.

I'm not talking about the usual communal clashes. And most of these clashes esp the religious ones are caused by the fulanis and kanuris in their region. I'm talking as per National politics.

No no no....the OP was talking about politics and votes. These determine how saintly and happy you are. As long as you don't use proper means to voice out your opinion, but vote strategically and in a carefree way (whatever that means), you are good to go!

Killings and riots are negligible. Don't you see Hausas and Fulanis that kill Yorubas in the SW are WAY better "guests", peaceful and saintly than hateful Igbos who whine about marginalization? Political discourse is errthing bro!

Voicing out concerns and acting in your interest in the political arena makes you hateful and vindictive! Read properly and stop being a wailer!!!! Up APC.

The point is your assertion above is not true.
Are there militants in the SEast or SWest?No!That they voted PMB was out of the general conclusion except for the scamming in the SE and SS by Jonathan,that the man was a universal failure.
Yes, the NC should be proud of that,but the region has its own seemingly intractable problems and violent groups,just maybe not as destabilizing as in the SS and NE

Bros stop dey lie jor. Whhich tiv jukun crises?? When was the last time you heard about such?? Those were very rare and isolated incidents and hardly last more than a couple of days. You talk about Ombatse as though anyone even knew they existed until police raided them.

The North Central is undoubtedly the most peaceful region of this country, save for Plateau where you have recurrence of violence in some remote parts from rampaging herdsmen.

How does it affect your livelihood admitting that the region is the most peaceful?? Which kain badbelle come be dis one

Really? Excuse me, BUT the SE has gotten MOST of the senate President seats. Did that satisfy the Igbos? Mbanu! Yorubas have had a considerable share of the cake but why do they still make noise in some quarters? In fact apart from Saraki, Akume, and Mark how many prominet politicians does that region boast of?

Those people are wise. Simple.

You see how you guys keep acting like headless bumble bees because of hate?? Some of you have never ever stepped a foot out of your immediate enclaves, and all statements you make are purely based on the staple of hate messages you feed on from people of like minds like yourselves.

During Obj, Yar Adua and Jonathan's eras, all states in the NC were PDP states except Nassarawa. The scenery only changed in 2015. Even with that, we still have two PDP states in the region.

The NC has the least bigoted folks in Nigeria. #Fact.
