. . . . . .then read through before drawing conclusions
i aint drawing conclusions man,just contributing my 2 cents conclusion is left for u.
The colonial masters didn't appreciate any simplicity in hausa people's world view and stop confusing yourself with the simplicity of the hausa's nature to the white man's because both are no where near in comparison. If not, they the colonialists wouldn't have left their place in search of where to make MORE money which brought them to Africa and other areas of the world. The European race love money and have the urge to make money wilts aggressively more than any other race. The hausas are not known for that, so your simplicity comparison is floored.
The colonialists giving privileges and power to the hausas is because they found them as the compromising mugus. That is people that can easily be maneuvered and used to hold and arrest the development of others while milking us dry. The colonialists knew they can't try such with the igbos of nigeria and they will lose out in their long term plan. Any coincidence as to why they located all nigeria's military installations in the northern part of nigeria before leaving? Because they trusted those mugus and illiterates to look after their oil in the Niger Delta without causing them sleepless nights and you can see that their evil plan is still working until today 2008. Go back to read the history of nigeria/colonialists power play. Akanu Ibiam, an Igbo was knighted and he threw it back at the queen, so being knighted has no meaning.
dude u brokedown my points real good.
i feel tho that we r share d same view on this because they got d privilidges because their society was as u implied 'muguish' whilst southern society was & still is more complex & advanced.
There is no right you can play to take back power from them. Everything is already programmed for them by the British and they get everyday advise from their masters at No10 Downing street. If you are thinking of playing right, then you will keep on dreaming. They manipulated the census to favor them, so if you wait to win correct election and wrestle power from, then as i said above, you will keep on dreaming. The only way will be by force. They have played into our hands by admitting there was agreement to rotate power and that was in their greedy quest to get power back to the north by all means after OBJ. Good and fine, lets wait for them to finish Yar'adua's term and lets see the next spin they will bring about, then blows will fly across if the power will not come back to the south. Power coming back to the south through rotation is definitely not what you meant by saying "playing the right game"
However i'll disagree with you on this because power truly is cyclic & history don prove am.
where the Roman, Greek, British, Ottoman and all em ancient empires at.
Also take the Jews for example, a jew running for d white house is sensational (less than a black man doing so no doubt), but my point is the backbone of americas economy ie. Wall street is run by these peeps infact the Global Financial system belongs to them.
Which sect i n history has been as marginalized as these people, yet they still run things.
For a second before anyone brings in the 'Gods own people twist' na as u help your self na so God go help u.
So rather than give up, or just whine bout it, we should put our thinking caps on & leverage our strengths to achieve our aim.
like i mentioned, the boys in the creeks if they can overcome the temptations of criminality have the power to bring this country and them Northern elite to its knees.
So also the other ethnic groups afterall all said and done na Yoruba get Lagos & d engine room of d economy, my people d igbos also have their fingas in some sticky pies.
Bottom line is we've been so busy in the south selling each other out which is why them abokis r getting their way.
Babangida, Abacha & co will tell u that without some high level southern collabration their looting esp the laundering of same would've been impossible.
Let me reiterate, no conclusions r being reached here, i just they yarn.
You BE THE JUDGE
peace
