Fred Nwabufo: Can We Expunge "Northerner, Southerner" From Nigerian Lexicon? by stephanie11: 12:26am On Aug 21, 2021 |
National affability has much to do with what we think of one another; how we talk to one another, and what we call one another. As nugatory as this may appear to be, the content of our dialogues and multilogue – caustic and vile – in our cocoons on social media and interactions with other Nigerians escalate recriminations, and deepen stereotypes and contorted perceptions. Bala gets a raw deal from Emeka, and he gears into pejoratives, ‘’southerners are dishonest’’. Tunde’s relationship with Dahiru hits the nadir, and he goes, ‘’northerners are vicious’’. In these instances, ‘’northerners and southerners’’ have become offenders vicariously in transactions between individuals. https://politicsnigeria.com/fred-nwabufo-ibb-is-right-the-political-class-divided-nigeria/ 5 Likes 1 Share

Whether stereotype or fact, must we remain in one entity called Nigeria without calling for negotiation or dialogue if we should continue with the abusive marriage in the name of being one? honestly I don't know why some people still pretend not to be seeing the trouble we go through daily in trying to remain one against the Will of certain people in many quarters....my opinion though... 64 Likes 2 Shares |

Such a thing is not possible. Nigeria is not a migrant country like the USA, Australia, Argentina etc Even in Europe, people no dey use their culture play. That's why Catalunya wants to leave Spain, Scotland wants to leave the UK, UK lead by England left the EU, Irish left the UK etc. If People are still shouting for freedom in a develop Country like Spain, so forget all this talk of Yorubas, Hausa, Efik, Ijaw, Kanuris etc seeing themselves as one. Only practising a true federalism(not this unitary system of government we are operating) go help this country survive as one. If nah this same system whereby a president will be forcing his will on everybody, like GMB is doing on the herdsmen issue, and the 3%-30% sharing formula etc... Is just going to be a matter of time, Nigeria might not last for long. We need to run Nigeria the way the USA is run or we can go the UK way. Over concentration of power in the central is one of the reason that lead to the collapse of the Soviet Union, Nigeria might not last as long as the USSR before it collapse. 112 Likes 8 Shares |

When will southerners Stop being naive? Being nice to a baby cobra does not invalidate the fact that it is venomous. Southerners are not the problem,we did not start it, northerners made it clear that we are not one,and it will be foolishness on the part of any southerner to refuse to accept this glaring fact. 41 Likes 3 Shares |

Nahh We have never been this divided as a nation than under Buhari's regime. Let me ask, if oil is mainly produced in NE. Will Buhari and Co sign a bill that gives profit of 3% to the North and 30% to the south? Everything about Nigeria is designed to favour the Hausa/Fulani. The dichotomy is there already so we will never see ourselves as Nigerians first. So stop talking rubbish Fred Nwabufo. 29 Likes 1 Share |

Paragraphs, sentences filled with sweet words, empty words. When are we Africans going to learn how to sail with the wind, instead of against it? The truth is that we love the northerner/southerner tag. We are interested in tribes etc. Why don't we convert it to an area of strength instead of trying to erase it? We need to stop all these castles Fred Nwabufo is building in the air, and face our reality. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Mr Frederick is either living in a fool's paradise or he's just a sycophant whose survival is hinged on political patronage. We all know that the term 'northerner' is as old as the name 'Nigeria' but the name 'southerner' is not even fully formed. Policies, allocations and a whole lot of goodies are publicly captured under the phrase 'northern interest' but we have never heard of such interest for the South. Mr. Nwabufo should do well to retrace his steps early enough because if he doesn't, Nigeria will happen to him too. Nigeria is dead and in her place, new shoots are shooting out to germinate and grow into more solid and productive trees that will cater for her people. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

Your big grammars alone is enough to put off potential readers of this your long article Now to the point you raised, the problem isn't having and keeping to ones identity be it religion or regional affinity. The biggest problem we are having in this country is intolerance fueled by political desperados who out of their desperation to either grab power or hang on to power or to cover their failures employs the divide and rule tactics by whipping up ethnic, religious or regional sentiments 4 Likes
