The people who want to impose Arewa identity on Tivs and Jukuns are killing them. They are Tivs and Jukuns NOT AREWAs/
FULANIS are the killers trying to ethnially cleanse Benue

What the hell is AREWA. What language is AREWA and what does it mean?

There is nothing like southerner .

Stop creating your fake identity and imposing it on others. One minute you are calling them Igbos next the are southerners

We are talkiing about Lagos and the people identiify as Yoruba. The so called victim here is a so called "southerner" why must you impose this ridiculous southerner tag on people?

So that you can also impose "Arewa" on others?

Did the Tiv or Jukun or Gwari people tell you that they are Arewa.

Lagos is Yoruba . What are you ? Stop hiding behind the meaningless "northerner" or Arewa tag. Are you ashamed of your ethnic identity.

Abuja is no man's Land because it was bought and paid for with Federal money though we all know it was OIL money

The Gwaris have no future claims on Abuja they SOLD IT. There is no EMIR of Abuja or any other Gwari institution. T

Did you here of the same happening in Lagos?

Do you even know the meaning of the word "Arewa?" Do you realise how many different tribes exist in the North?

Did you notice where the man said he wanted the maid to get a taste of education?

He took an uneducated girl to start school at secondary level.

He believes his living abroad entitles him to walk in anywhere and get acceptance. The girl was rejected because she does not posess the pre-requisite for secondary-level education. Mr Spain feels pained by his rejection and came online with half baked truth.

Do you know of any other place in Nigeria that is as diversity tolerant as Lagos? Nowhere is!

This man should go register that girl in primary school....
I guarantee she will notvbe admitted there either due to her age.


His best option is to hire private tutor to give her home schooling and bring her to level. Hopefully the instructor will be female, and not a male specie...otherwise her education might just end in motherhood.


dundi it means she already finished primary in the easter part of nijeria

The meaning is irrelevant you cannot impose it on everyone .Certainly not on the Land.


The issue of "North" is a British concept and meaningless before the British Came what has the word "Arewa" got to do with Tiv People or Kwara People.

Is Oyo not in the Geographical "North" even further North than some parts of Kogi Benue and Taraba? Why not call Oyo Arewa.

Leave story.

The Idea is a Neo-colonialist Hausa -Fulani scheme that is dead on arrival. Tivs are Tivs and Igalas are Igalas not Arewas

Guy, you are bringing back the good old days.... cheesy Remember Alexander Road, Gerrard, Queens Drive? The breeze from that side, no be small, o! Ikoyi has been defaced now....lots of the trees have been cut down. Most of the old stately colonial buildings have been demolished, to give way to monstrous, ugly, high rise buildings, that are nothing to write home about. Tranquil neighbourhoods have been defaced. Its so sad, really. cry

To own a property and live inside Ikoyi today, you need to be a billionaire....land there, costs as much as solid gold! In the past, children of civil servants could live side-by-side with kids of directors of multinational corporations. But not any more....successive govts killed this structure, with their stuvpid, asinine policies. undecided



Yes, yes...Home Science was on Ruxton Road. Still is, in fact! cheesy Now, you have conclusively proved that you are an aje-butter! cheesy Grade 1 type, in fact! cool
I wish Ikoyi can revert to what it once was. Honestly now it takes billionaires to comfortably live in Ikoyi.

Remember Alexander Road, Gerrard, Queens Drive?
Why not? My Class Teacher in Pry 4 used to live in Gerrard. I missed Ikoyi, most of my childhood friends are no longer there... Na Billionaires like una de stay there...

One is even dreaming of the lie going viral so the law can be reviewed... Lol.

I'm a northerner, grew up in Ikoyi, family have had properties there for decades, but I still recognize that Lagos is Yorubaland, just like Abuja is Arewaland.

Let me remind you how the AREWA thing started on this thread

You mention Yorubaland and then Flattties So you were talking about the YORUBA nature of Lagos in contrast to the Arewa Nature of Abuja


Yoruba-ness is an ethnicity not a point on the compass

You were contrasting the Yoruba nature of Lagos with the Arewa nature of Abuja and at the same time drawing a line between Igbos and Yoruba


When called out you try to hide behind Arewa means North

If Arewa means North then according to the North South dichotomy you were propagating why exclude the so called Flattties frrom Lagos after all they are South.

The truth is you were not talking about North South but Yoruba Arewa and by Arewa you meant ethnic nature not geography. You meant Hausa nature of Abuja. You were appropriating Abuja for HAUSAS

of coursse We had to shoot that imperialism down immediately.

You can lie to yourself but not to others

When you contrast Yoruba Lagos to Arewa Abuja the word Arewa does not and cannot mean "NORTH" especially in the context that you used it where you talked about "FLATTTIES" and implied that flattties had less of a claim on Lagos than Yorubas even though they are from the "South"
Does YORUBA mean South? how then is Yoruba an antonym of Arewa to be used for contrast

Your whole argument about Arewa meaning North is nothing but an afterthought that fools only you

You stink of ignorance, no offence.

1. First of all, Abuja was in the earlier 20th century the name of the nearbyy town now called Suleja in Niger State (Northern Nigeria). It was declared a capital by President Ibrahim Babangida (Northerner) on 12th December 1991 and not any ajayi or whatever.

2. "Arewa" directly translates to the cardinal point known as the "North" in the Hausa language, hence my classification on the basis of geographical location instead of ethnic group.

I am Fulani and a Northerner. Gbagyi who are are indigenous to Abuja are also Northerners . I never said Abuja was Fulani land (never was, never will), but Abuja is indisputably in Arewaland because Abuja is geographically located in Northern Nigeria I.e Arewa, which is why Abuja is Arewaland. This is why every administrator of the FCT since 1979 (before it was even declared capital) have been Northerners.

I don't know how else to spoonfeed this simple logic to you, I don't want to believe you're incapable of simple comprehension.


Lie at the bold..... You are totally wrong.....IBB didn't declared Abuja capital of Nigeria.....IBB only formally moved the capital there.......Abuja was named and declared federal capital in 70s during Muritala and Obasanjo régime! Not everyone here are kids born in the 80s or 90s......

What you did say was Lagos is Yorubaland and Abuja is Arewaland. If your focus was geography as you now want to pretend and hide behind translation of Arewa to "North" how does "North" contrast with "Yoruba" .Why talk about Yoruba Lagos and Flattties in the Same breath. Are Yoruba and Flattties not all from the "South"

The truth is you were not making a North south distinction. That s self deceit. If that were the case you would not make a Yoruba Flatttie distinction in Lagos


Did IBB declare Abuja capital? You are obviously a child ignorant of history and also very bigoted too

Bla bla bla...Abuja is no man's land but it was created by a Northerner, the indigenous people are Northerners, it is situated in Northern Nigeria and EVERY SINGLE governor/administrator since creation has been a Northerner till date cheesy

Don't worry, Abuja is southern land you hear? Lol.

LONG LIVE AREWA tongue




It is clear from this that you are just a bigot , a child and uninformed

Firstly before Lagos State was created there was an FCT in Lagos the FCT with the late Yar'Adua (Father of late presdent) as FCT minister. So the significance of your claim only a Northerner has been FCT Minister or Admnistrator is what exactly

Unfortunately for you it is UNTRUE.

The Very First Administrator was YORUBA his name was Ajose-Adeogun

He commissioned the Abuja Masterplan

The other thing is I stand by the fact that the move to Abuja was recommended by Akinola Aguda.

What is interesting is the MOTIVATION for all these ridiculous assertions. Your need for ethnic supremacy is pathetic
