Mr. Ambassador, we can never be part of the north.
Never! We have more than enough resources to last us billions of years.

You see we don't need and want you.

malton:


Which state are you from, if you don't mind?

DateMynd44:
cry me a river. U minorities in the north make up the hausa fulani and we see u middle belt as part of Arewa.
Whether u like it or not. NORTH CENTRAL, NW, NE are all One under Arewa. Kiss the truth

Aufbauh:


Onneh, subtlety to me should be part of politicking and politics.
The notion of being used and dump is a function of individual perception. This is because a lot of middle beltans have benefited politically, socially and otherwise from our friendship with the core North more than any region in the country. From political office holders to civil servants either military or paramilitary.

As for the war, it was a necessary evil then, borne out of the collective goal of keeping the country one.

royalamour:

Your opinion is irrelevant just like a droplet of water on hot desert sand.
Anyways, you re noticed. Pls shift.

Paperwhite:
[s] I'm from the middle-belt.I don't belong to the north.If this fool thinks by speaking he must forcefully copt us into the core north then good luck to him.I'm so much angry my kinsman Gowon played the stooge for these brutes but when they consolidates their grip on power, then they brazenly push him out to where they felt he rightly belongs through the July 29th 1976 coup.Check out the senseless killings inflicted on the middle-belt and other regions down South by the marauding hausa-fulani.I maintained again-"one north and Nigeria" is the slogan when a core northerners is in power. [/s]

NCP:
That statement belongs to the garbage bin of history.

You can't tell an Okun man who sees his Ekiti kindred daily, that he is from the north.


Na Problems You Dey invite.

babyfaceafrica:
okun is an exception.....they are purely sw..I don't know how they got that far in kogi...I need history lessons..they are too far from their kinsmen

Aufbauh:


Sure, of a truth I'm more closer to the Igbos either by proximity or blood line than any tribe in the country be it Igede or Tiv in my state. In fact my mum is from Isi uzor LG. in Enugu state, a neighbouring village to my paternal home in Benue state.

But of a truth, I've not been impressed by the way the Igbos play their politics. They should learn to consult with others, consolidate on their friendship with others before confronting a perceived opposition .

DateMynd44:
shut up there. S/West is strictly limited to the 6 landlocked states in yoruba land. Stop claiming brotherhood with Kogi and kwara.

Gotze1:
Meaning they hate being called northerners ba? What do they call call themselves then?

DateMynd44:
as far as you're from Benue, you're a core North and we see u as aboki hausa fulani. U have no choice other than to deal with it.

sarrki:


Do you know KANU is going back to prison

DateMynd44:
olodo u knw his house at Abia state. Just go there and arrest him na. OTONDO

sarrki:


Igbos always claiming to be historian

shut up there. There is nothing like middle belt in Nigeria's geo political terrain. All Kogi citizens are ab0ki hausa fulani because ur state is core North. North is north, be it Ncentral, Nwest or NEast. Stop wallowing in ignorance, be it Benue, Kogi, Plateau, Nasarawa or Kwara, we see u all as aboki. And if Nigeria were to break up now u will go with the Hausa Fulani because u all are part of Arewa. So stop spewing rubbish, rather emulate from Niger state who have accepted they have linkage with Hausa Fulani despite being North central.

so says a hypocrite christian who is wallowing in ignorance.
You're an Arewa Northerner, just accept the bitter truth and move on.
Mind u i'm a Kogite too and I'm a proud Northerner

ehie:
[s] if this f00l who was probably around during the firt TIV uprising from 1960-1964 when the Tivs wanted to seperate from the North and then the Northerners used Pam to quell the riots he would realise from time immeorial that we the middle belters were the piooners of agitation.
The Old F00l is probably broke and needs peanuts from the Buharists .
We have nothing in common with Northernm Nigeria. [/s]

Quality20:
u guys r talking of central Nigeria as marginalized, if I may ask where is IBB, Gowon , Abdul salam from or are they not from ur so-called middle belt? Is anybody barred from politics? If ibos and other regions don't know how to play politics then they should either learn or accept their fate and should stop noise making/abuses/hate speech

frankihima:
bro we are north.nothing like meddle belt

Oxenomy:
As long as your governors are members of 19 northern states, you are part of north... When your governors starts Middle Belt governors' forum, then we can take you serious but until then, you are a northerner..

frankihima:
nothing like middle belt we are northern if u don't like it go and drink snipper and die

charlesucheh:
[s] Benue sate is not north simple!!!! now let's look at some indices,
1) the predominant means of communication in the north is hausa
2) but you can never learn how to speak hausa even if you stay for a hundred years in Benue sate
3) most northern states fall under the territorial district conquered by usman danfodio which makes them predominantly islamic states.
4) but Benue state is a predominantly christian practicing state with catholic and NKST as its major worship centers.

OGA!! you can incorporate other states as being north o!!!! but pls leave the UMBC for Benue state if you don't want my trouble today. [/s]
