Gravas:
You are great.

Nowenuse:


You are very ignorant for this silly comment.
Who are the middlebelt muslims if i may ask?

The middlebelt is not divided based on religion, because there are muslims and christians among most tribes of the middlebelt.

Igala christians and muslims for instance are the same people with the same cultures, language and one traditional ruler! How on earth do you want to divide them by religion? Most families and villages have both muslims and christians.

Take your religious division to Zamfara or Katsina state. Middlebelt tribes do not need it!

Paperwhite:
You won't be talking this poo if you belong there like us.The agitation is across the land and not only the middle belt.No thanks to the anti-humanity stance of the most bigoted man we ever had as a president.The end of Nigeria is at hand.Better back of and find where you belong.

ItsMeAboki:


Don't mind him, he is merely begging for relevance; having already backed the wrong party (PDP) and the wrong faction (Markafi) and lost; he is now seeking for another platform he can ride to politically re-launch himself.
In any case. the core north is not afraid of division; anyone knows his father's house and can waka alone when the time comes.
Besides, the Kaduna Declaration was by a coalition of northern youths, including the so called Middle Belt - he must obviously be out of touch with the youths of they were representing .

Thanks brother man.We're on it.Better to be a hungry free man than a well fed slave.

Gana said, “They think when it comes to
break-up, we will go along with the North. We
have already told them that if they allow this
country to break up, we are not going with the
North. We are staying where we are. So, just
take notice.

fiizznation:
Ignorant talk. I'm very sure you a NC Christian. And I ask again, who made you folks the spokespersons of a very complicated secular region called the north central? Do you share the same opinion with a Muslim from the north central? The muslims that made up the majority of the folks in north central aligned themselves with the north itself. And you don't see them creating silly forums to call themselves one ridiculous name. The last election should have told your d**k skull were the north central stands. Buhari won in all the states there.

I don't even have any problem with the very few of you from the north central that always want to divide the north central along religious line(e.g is what this clown called jerry is saying), but I will continue to ask you, who made you very few folks in the minority the SPOKESPERSONS of a very porous north central region?


Like i said earlier, there are more hausa/fulani in the north central than any other ethnic group. So where do you keep them in your ridiculous 'middlebelt' nonsense?

Kagarko:


You and Jerry Gana are on your own. I understand where both of you are coming from. Remember that middle belt has been cursed by Sardauna.


No any Muslim from the North Central will align himself with Gana. Because in this so called Middle Belt Muslims are the Majority and cannot but stay with Arewa (ie Nigeria).

Jerry Gana run away from his home town and take a refuge in Jos. Christians are the majority in only Plateau and Benue state of the so called region. Nasarawa, Niger, Kwara, Kogi and FCT are Muslim majority States they decides what happened and happened not.


If Gana doesn't want Arewa He should please go to SS or SE.


God bless Nigeria (Arewa) and Nigerians (Hausawa).

Amin.

-I think the war of where Middle-belt belong will really be fierce and bloody. Not to say the years of violence there hasn't being.

-The best each Nation/Tribe can do is to start a vigorous campaign to distinguish themselves and position itself for the eventuality. This "We're Middle-belters" is lazy, crowded and definitely doesn't hold water.

-Without the above, The Fulani caliphate will continue to do what they do best, enslaving your people. Remember they had the highest concentration of Slaves in the world even before Europeans got into the groove, and most of those Slaves where from the tribes in current day Northern Nigeria.

-The minority Tribes in the North ran Nigeria from mid 60s to late 70s, Gowon's kitchen cabinet known then as "Oxford Tribe" attests to this, but whatever they achieved the Fulani caliphate took the glory and ran away with it.

ItsMeAboki:


Yes, Arewa means north in Hausa - read and get educated.

Nowenuse:


Very soon, the world will start hearing from us. The scales of slavery is gradually falling from the eyes of the youths.
If the overall middlebelt identity doesn't work, then we will form something else.

At the end of the day, northern minorities must have our own unique identity. Enough of this Arewa nonsense.

ItsMeAboki:


So says ignorant you: note, there had never been any legally known entity such as the Middle Belt in the history of Nigeria - ignorance is a disease; try and get some education before you join issues with ppl far above your level; but since you said so, then try to explain why are their governors, their youths and others are full members and participants in the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF)? - anyway, when the push comes to the shove; they know where they belong.

lofty900:
ur right but the average yoruba man prefer to align with hausa instead of igbo

Nowenuse:


What is Arewa forum? What is the meaning of Arewa in Igala, Ebira, Idoma, Tiv, Nupe, Berom or Gbagyi languages?

Fulanis are settlers all over the middlebelt just as Igbos are settlers in kano state.

Stop being a unity beggar and stick to your Hausa-fulani land alone!

ItsMeAboki:


Pls apply common sense to what you just wrote and explain to me since when does a party translate being a legitimate region or sub-region of the country? - you could say the same for the Niger Delta since there
are equally ppl identifying themselves as Niger Deltans; yet in reality it remains a mere geographical reference or expression without legal backing; same as the Middle Belt.

Mujtahida:

Read your second paragraph and see if it makes sense. Its pure recipe for disaster. You don't know the ancient history of the middle belt people. Resist the temptation to foist your own vision on us.

Nowenuse:


Yes arewa means north in hausa, so it should be restricted to Hausa land!

Idomas, Igalas, Ebiras, Tivs, Eggon, Beroms, Gbagyis, Bassa, Jukuns, Ngas, Kataf, Nupes and all of us are no longer interested in your Arewa. How hard is this for your coconut hausa head to take?

The middlebelt tribes now want to take their destinies in their own hands.
Hausas and fulanis should speak for hausa n fulani land alone! Period!

Roski1:

By the time plateau, Benue, southern Kebbi, Taraba, southern kaduna(Gurara), kogi, southern Borno, parts of nassarawa, adamawa, southern Baluchi and Gombe become properly organized as middle belt, the few states in the north will understand that no region has the power to oppress anyone. How I wish we can return to regional system of government so that the middle belt can fend for itself from its resources as well as other regions. Too bad for what will remain of the north. Maybe wuna go sell ur cows pay salaries.

Mujtahida:

Ohhhhhhhhhh stop this your posturing. I dare you to show me where any of the so called geo political regions exist as a matter of law in any of our existing body of laws . They are all - to use your fine phrase - mere geographic reference. Alex Ekwueme it was who propounded the principle of the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria during the 1994 Constitutional Conference convened by Abacha. Among the political parties only PDP entrenched it in its constitution. PDP constitution is not Nigerian Law.

Mujtahida:

What does it take to make any entity legal? For non human entities to become juristic (recognised by law) all that is needed for it is for it to be registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission as an association with Trustees. And you think that a man of Jerry Gana's stature will form a forum like this and not have it registered under part C of the Companies and Allied Matters Act Cap c20 LFN 2004.
Are you aware that as far back as Pre indepence era there was a political party called United Middle Belt Congress (UMBC) that was formed by JS Tarka and Solomon Lar to press for the political aspirations of the minorities in the middle belt?
Do we have Igbos in the North too. Cos all this kind of talk coming from you reminds me of Igbos and the South South minorities.

ItsMeAboki:


You must be walking around with your brain in your pocket; so get this straight.

The Northern Region a.k.a. north or Arewa was a legally backed geographical entity, which included the lands inhabited by all the tribes you mentioned; while the so called middle belt never was and still isn't but continues to remain a mere geographical expression, a concept yet to be actualised - much like Biafra.

Presently, your representatives; governors, youth leaders etc are full members and participants in the ACF; likewise the Kaduna Declaration issued by a coalition of Arewa youths was comprised of and involved the full participation of your own representatives - incidentally whose involvement or participation in the coalition have so not been disowned by any individual or group from the so called middle belt.

The likes of Gerry Gana (a mere been) are nothing more than wasted political jobbers angling for prominence and relevance on the basis of cheap ethnic and religious sentiment, who represent a mere minority rather than from the majority of political heavy weights of significance - very much like Kanu/IPOB's quest for Biafra is representing a growing vocal minority rather than the silent majority of Igbos and political heavy weights of the SE.

Finally, much in the same vein with the Arewa declaration; be rest assured that core northerners are not unity beggars and remain resolute in leaving the door opened to any co-traveller wishing to walk out of the union at any time; therefore if you guys elect to leave; by all means feel free to also take the hike along with the Igbos.

ItsMeAboki:


Yet another one who must have also failed JAMB.

Pls go back to my post and note how I tried (obviously in vain) to draw attention to the fact that a political party and a geopolitical land mass are not and cannot be the same.

In the 1st Republic the country was made up of legally backed geopolitical subdivisions of the regions and provinces; while today's equivalent are the states and local governments - the middle belt was never and still isn't anyone of them, pls get this straight.

It is sheer stupidity and ignorance to therefore equate any of the above, which draw their legality from the constitution, with a mere party or even an association register-able under an ordinary government agency - kindly know what you are talking about before embarrassing yourself in public.

ItsMeAboki:


As already mentioned, the core north is not afraid of a break up nor will it succumb to cheap blackmail from any section; therefore who ever feels the need to dissociate is free to go - very much like we are willing to allow the Igbos go.

BTW, should the country revert to regionalism; then you ppl will all be part of north as you used to be, because the middle belt never existed except theoretically - so you better understand what you are prayer.

Mujtahida:

Semper fi. Hold the forte. Thank you.
