Northern leaders took a swipe on their southern counterparts on Wednesday, saying they are not gaining anything from the present arrangement of the country and can therefore stand on their own if the country eventually breaks up. The Northern leaders, who met under the auspices of the Arewa Elders Forum, said that even though they can afford to survive in a divided Nigeria, they have resolved not to be the cause of the breakup of the country. One of the leaders of the new group and former Special Adviser to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo on Food Security, Prof .Ango Abdullahi, told the Hausa service of the British Broadcasting Corporation monitored in Kaduna that the north has always been on its own and will continue to survive without the oil resources from the south. Abdullahi, who was reacting to calls from southern leaders for the convocation of a Sovereign National Conference, said that some people are hiding under the agitation to show to the world that they were tired of staying in a united Nigeria. We know this is an old call because it has been on for over 20 years. They have been saying this corporate existence of the country and the Federal system is faulty. They are keen on sitting down to discuss what kind of arrangement would be conducive for Nigerians. This is an old call and it is not a new thing… some people are hiding under the guise of this agitation to show that they are tired of staying in a united Nigeria. Therefore, we have resolved that we are not going to be the cause of Nigeria breaking up; but if others decided that the country should be divided, and they insisted that Nigeria should break up, we won’t say no because we realized there is nothing we are getting from the current arrangement that other sections of the country are not getting. “If they insisted, why don’t we sit down and talk? If at the end, everybody agree that Nigeria should be divided and if at the long run, everybody is satisfied that the country should break up, let it be”. Speaking further on whether the north can stand on its own if the country breaks up, the former Vice Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria said that the North has always been on its own because the poor in the North has always been on his own. “He (the poor) feeds himself from what he cultivates in the farms and feeds Nigeria up till tomorrow. It is possible if all Northerners would return to what their forefathers did through agriculture with which proceeds they built the North and Nigeria as a whole,” Abdullahi said.

Because they are no longer ruling. lol Well, let the conference begin already because I'm tired of mortgaging my future and that of my children to a hopeless system. EVERYTHING should be on the table; from true federalism to total disintegration. The outcome must be acceptable to all stake holders in Nigeria, and the process should be supervised and enforced by the UN if necessary. Aburi is still very fresh in my mind. All these talks are not deceiving anyone. These types of talks proceeded Aburi. Heck the conference itself held in the most cordial atmosphere. Yet, the North (led by Gowon) flushed it down the toilet after signing it. So, when are we starting? Thank God almighty for a time like this.  |

Onlytruth: Because they are no longer ruling. lol Yes we all talk of Nigeria splitting but come to think of it, would you be happy if Nigeria split ? |
| Re: We Are Not Gaining Anything From Nigeria – Northern Leaders by Onlytruth(m): 3:36am On Apr 19, 2012 |
alj harem: Yes I would! lol As things are today, I would want it to split. The only time I may drop that wish is if the core North stays FAR AWAY from Nigerian presidency for at least 12 years from 2015. Why? Because I fear that they would set Nigeria back again if they take over too soon. We have not recovered from their many years of misrule. As much as people can hate Obasanjo and GEJ, both are still far better than Yar adua or Shagari. |

Onlytruth: How can you say OBJ and GEJ were better than Buhari ? So you cannot see any good from the north ? Onlytruth, as for me if Nigeria split I would miss it die because the uncertainty drops. SNC would be better for Nigeria. In as much as I chat crap at time on this site, the truth be told I love Nigerians from all corners equally and would miss their touch.

DEMDEM CALM DOWN! The Northerners are playing smart. Any breakup of Nigeria would lead to a fair share of offshore resources as Northern Agricultural resources were used to develop the Oil industry. I kid you not, there are more Oil reserves in the North than south. After the sharing agreements have been reached, they will start seismic studies & start discovering oil left right centre. If Niger Republic can have large reserves, there is no reason why oil should not exist from LIBYA, to NIGER to Northern Nigeria |

Nigerians are born liars. It's this kind of lie that will make them say that Abuja was built with the sheer hardwork of Northerners the same way our SW brothers are saying about Lagos. I really don't care what they say, what i want is for them to fast-track their want for secession. 1 Like |

They are just bluffing. They will be the first to withdraw when they see the FG serious about SNC. But wait ooo, are these people illiterates? How do they reason to utter such statement even when a newly born baby knows that they are the ones who ruined Nigeria and are still ruining it with their boko haram. Just cause they lost power and they are bluffing at every slightest chance. Fools in de making |
