There's nothing like one North.
The North is NW n NE.
Don't be deceived.
MiddleBelt is MB.
MB supports call for Biafra n the division of Nigeria.
They too want to be free from Hausa/Fulani.
The Hausa/Fulani have ravaged them.
Destroyed their homes.
Killed their wives.
Slaughtered their babies.
Ransacked their communities.
Raped their daughters.
Carved out the unborn children from their wombs.
Cut off the breasts of their wives.
Made them refugees.
Right now I am weeping....
Oh the atrocities of the Hausa/Fulani in the middle belt n Nigeria is just too much.
Evidence has shown that these people do not deserve to live among other good people.
The Hausa/Fulani should live on their own.
MiddleBelt are not under Arewa.

Like I said. Utterly clueless Mor.on

I thought them being christian makes them kind of southerners
but I realized middle belt people associate with Northerners than Southerners
despite the fact fulanis used them for suya in Jos all the time

u rarely see middle belt pple in the South
they either remain in their middle belt or move to Abuja

My Jos friend recently called himself hausa boy

if Nigeria divides. middle belt will join the huge Muslim North and become minority christian in that nation

I believe

The thing is Jos plateau is located in the north by geography. That makes us Northerners because we are located in the north. The Yoruba's from kogi and kwara are also from the north since their towns are located in the northern part of Nigeria by geography.
I want to also correct,not every one whose town fall in the south is christian(There are more Muslims in auchi Edo state than Christians and I believe most Yoruba's are Muslims though most of them are from the south) and not every one from the north is a Muslim. Most middle belters are Christians. We are not Hausa's. It's only an ignorant plateau man that will call himself Hausa.
I have heard so many argument concerning this middle belt thing. There is difference between North central and middle belt. The struggle for middle belt started before many of us were born,it was there before Nigeria independence.
There was a minority report that before Nigeria be granted independence the minorities should be set free from the Hausa Fulani kanuri oligarchs. These cause was fighted for by all even the then chief of kagaro in Kaduna state present north west Nigeria.His town is still not part of the so-called "north central". Any way that was middle belt.
But the present region called North central was formed in the early 90's by the military regime. The aim of it was just to defeat the struggle of the middle belt. When you look at the old map of Nigeria, present Kaduna and katsina States where what you refer to as north central. No present north central state was part of it.
I believe when a region is being carved, you place people of similar culture religion and tradition together. The people of south west are all united by Yoruba,the people of south east by Igbo and those of south south by their minority status. When you come up north you find out that people of southern Kaduna,plateau and taraba all have similar culture, dressing,religion and tradition but these states are all scattered across the 3 geo political zones in the north even though the share boundary.
You see these are some of the schemes of the Hausa man to shut the minorities and kill the struggle of middle belt.
On the question of if Nigeria divides, where are we going to head, I will tell you the solution of Nigeria is not in division. It's when the so-called 3 big tribes agree that it's time for things to work properly.

you are totally ignorant and making baseless claims.. What states constituted middle belt? U need to define dat. Are u talking about NORTH CENTRAL? By regionalization, d are northerners. So why wud claim to be southerners wen d are not. Religion shouldnt be the basis for saying am from dis region.. U need to change ur primitive mentality and make sure u know facts before makinh assertions.
