Why Do Southerners Hate Northerners So Much In Nigeria?
« on: August 20, 2008, 10:26 AM »

I have noticed that wherever one is, it seems like the hate of southern Nigerians towards northern Nigerians is always apparent.

Why is this so?  Is it because of religion?  Or culture?  Or ignorance?  Or general lack of understanding between the two regions? 

Why is their so much hate between citizens of the same country?

According to Adamu Adamu:  some parts of this country just don’t like the fact of having to make choices; but there are two choices that we must always learn to make: either we choose to become nationalists or we become traitors to the national cause. Calling others parasites is not a particularly intelligent or creative thing to do; and it doesn’t make the caller a more productive or less shiftless or more nationalistic stakeholder in the national enterprise.

@ McUsman: when did you turn into a Nigerian? Did you naturalise or what?



@ gadogodo: why is there so much fighting and discord in Lebanon? Is it culture, ignorance or religion? Why so much hatred between the various factions there?  Is the constant fighting the reason why you had to be raised in Nigeria? It wasnt safe to go home?

Now tell us if before they got to that region if their migration was north or south and who they share closest genetic DNA with Niger-congo speakers or Afro-asiatic speakers and the bastardization that occured with northern incursions.

my point is the north you are implying or these norm skulls are implying are part of the north are not ethnically northern but cultural by way of northern incursions so If I were to carve out the new south I know what states would be included to represent the south. Plateau is not a a true muslim state and sould be split along  border lines to account for this.

I had a rosy view of Nigeria until the far Northern states systematically started introducing Sharia.

It was an affront to the rest of Nigeria, and but for Obasanjo's kowtowing, the country should have been dissolved
there and then.

They were afraid of loosing power so systematically as usual used "religion" to galvanize the people as is always done by most islamic states when they feel their power slipping away. I recall history would support he vatican used very similar approaches too.   Hmmmmm

WE HATE YOU B/C You FIRST HATE US.
The entity you call Nigeria has 36 states.19 of these state  are northern preserve u think this is wisdom?
When was the last  time an easterner or southerner ruled this entity call Nigeria?
How many local govt. councils are in Lagos , how many are in Kano? Do you remember what happen b/w Lagos and Kano in the last head count? Do you  know that the north manipulated the census figures so as to be ahead and continue to share our resources?
  Where is the EQUITY, where is the JUSTICE that binds us together  in love as a nation?
  All we ve is marginalisation of the  minority. The air you and your family inhale in the north contain 35- 50% oxygen which is normal?
  In the south it has been reduced to 18% due to gas flaring, we change our roof at least once in a year, and every body is paying def ear. The list is endless.
  My dear poster, it might intrest you to know that NO VICTORY LAST FOR EVER. We in the south have realise this and we ve  stood up to our rigth and  to take that which is ours period.

You obviously do not live in Nigeria. Such things happen once in a while in the North. Only recently, a secondary school mobbed to death an innocent NYSC teacher.It happens here.

It is because we are far better off  and we are always outstanding where ever we are which creates envy by the southerners. Don't you notice that no matter how hard a southerner works, he is always suffering. No matter the position he achieves or holds, he is never better than a poor northerner.

They are never contented with what they have and they always love to live in abject poverty despite accumulation of Nigeria's wealth (talking about their rich ones)and sending all their generations abroad.

I know your ancestors are micro organisms that formed the oil in Niger delta, thats why you think like an amoeba.

Did your gegological time scale teacher tell you that humans formed Oil? Are you sure you dey go school? or you are attending tinubus university of chicago in Oluwole.
