I do not want to go into a tribal bash with you so I simply decline to comment. So the people who are engaged in baby factories, fraud and yahoo things are the pride of the Nation abi?

I didnt trade any blame here I simply highlighted the origin of the problem or can you plan for a better future without referring to the best.

With all due respect from your comment what I deduce is the lack of comprehension for all I have written

murtalaa: And you guys are the best thing to happen to Africa since Moses landed in Egypt, I suppose?

IgboMonk: Who is even interested in whatever you arewaqueen abi arewabitch is masquarading here, trying to appear more civilized, liberal and rational when behind you every Nigerian know you all very well.

Where should one start asking you questions from beheading of Akaluka, Maitatasine Riot, Miss Universe, Reihard Bonke protest, shooting of a female Christ Embassy evangelist, Cartoon Riot killings and Youth Corp members you terrorists clubbed to death because one of yours lost a free and fair election.

The comment of Tafawa Belewa of Nigeria being the estate of una forefather Dan Fodio, or ''I will make this country ungovernable" or Kwankwaso breaking beer bottle, refusing to release terror victims list, ECWA churches getting burnt everyday, 6 Igbo traders killed in Apo, all the utterances of Junaid Muhamed, Ango Abdullahi, Nyamko calling for genocide against Igbos bc Ihejirikwa was fighting BH or the NEF, threatnening to sue Ihejirika for fighting BH, arrogancy of the North that Niger Delta oil is theirs, Buhari jailing VeePee but allowed Presido to go scotfree, Buhari using PDTF to work all Northern roads but non in the South, Killing of Saro Wiwa, Dele Giwa, Kudirat Abiola, et al....looooool

Norths are Nuts, they are wicked, sadists, callous, violent, brute and tribalistic.....abeg OP go and recite ur Koran, Northern image can never be laundered here, it will be an uphill task for the biggest PR firm to do, so if you want to launder Northern image sell it to outsiders not Nigerians abeg.


Everything your trying to assert here is false because your opinion is considered retrogressive and sabotage by your feudal caliphates besides every Nigerian know Northerners more than they know themselves. And make sure u don't reveal your identity after this discussion because you have instantly betrayed them

Forget those that are trying to give you a soft landing here, they are laughing and shaking their heads on your futile attempt here behind their PC, PDAs and mobile phones

arewaqueen:

DONT YOU EVER IN YOUR LIFE USE A WORD BITCH WITH ME. I BELIEVE ONE CAN MAKE A POINT WITHOUT NAME CALLING. YOU HAVE NO RESPECT AND YOU THINK YOU COMMENT IS CIVIL. AM FASTING IF NOT I WOULD HAVE PAID YOU IN YOUR OWN COIN. AM VERY GLAD THAT THE MAJORITY COMMENTING ARE CIVIL AND VERY WELL MANNERED. YOU ARE A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF NIGERIA'S PROBLEM. AND SOFT LANDING MY FOOT.

Adelaide2: My questions:

1. What is ''Hausa-Fulani''? How can two distinct ethnic groups be grouped as one? Where else in the world has this happened?
2. What does an Hausa man/woman think of a Fulani man/woman?
3. What does the average northerner think about the northern elites?
4. Is the North better of on its own or as being in Nigeria with the south?
5. RELIGION: why does an average Northern Muslim assume that they can make every Nigerian become a Muslim?
6. Do Northern Muslims hate Igbos? If so, why?
7. What does the average non-violent northerner think when he sees southerners being killed in many of killing sprees that have gone on in the North?

IgboMonk: Lol fasting kor hunger strike ni

after rain comes the sunshine, Northerner is a northerner, stop hiding under religion to play the ostrich, why must all the violence and problems that spread to other parts of Nigeria originate from North, is your version of Islam different from those practise in Qatar,Turkey, Tunisia, Morocco UAE, Kuwait, Oman etc or were you people given the wrong version of the koran that encourage killing with abandoned recklesss?lol .

Why always you guys, 24/7 since 1914?

Abeg close the thread retreat to your hijab until una perceptions about human life change or keep instigating riot and bloodshed like you are knowned for.

PLEASE GET OFF THIS THREAD I REALLY DONT NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO DO NOT HABOUR ANYTHING BUT HATRED IN THEIR HEARTS. AS FOR RELIGION. PLEASE STICK TO YOURS WHILE I STICK TO MINE. AS FOR THE THREAD I AINT CLOSING IT SINCE YOU DONT HAVE TO BE HERE. IF YOU THINK OUR BRAND OF ISLAM IS WRONG PLEASE IMPORT THE RIGHT ONE.

gsalvatore: The Problem with the North nobody wants to mention and deep down the OP doesn't want to acknowledge is the RELIGION.

The type of lslam practiced in the north is Problem.
Forget Colonialist and past leaders joor.

No need for long talks .

C0llynzO2: This thread is dead on arrival, there is no ''misconception'' about the north.
The north has one of the highest illiteracy levels in the world -- fact!
The north has one of the highest poverty rates in the world -- fact!
The north is home to some of the worst diseases in Nigeria -- fact!
The north has serious long standing problems with extremism, religious intolerance and violence -- fact!
What misconception is there to clear again?

I disagree with the Illiteracy part because there is a difference between illiteracy and education. A literate is someone who can read and write while an educated person is something who has gone up to the tertiary level. If they said educated i would agree but illiteracy i dont.

Poverty article isnt from a neutral body like the world bank so I dont agree 100% to it but I agree there is poverty.

When you say deadly diseases. I assume you are talking about HIV right

Akshow: Nice job arewaqueen but u forgot the number one misconception southerners are quick to use against northerners. "The north (and by the north they mean Hausas) have ruled for forty years".

This is really laughable cos Gowon is a christian jos man. Babangida is a nupe from Niger state. Abdulsalam is also from Niger state. The true Hausa leaders in Nigerian history are Shagari, Buhari, Sani Abacha and Yar Adua.

EasternLeopard:

Nigeria gained independence since 1960 which is 54 years ago and your guys keep blaming the British for your educational backwardness despite ruling Nigeria for more than 38 yrs.

My sister face reality

You guys are a disgrace to black Africa.

How many schools scholarships etc have you successful ones created.

Blaming the British after 50 years of independence and doing nothing about it despite the opportunities given to your guys by GOD is the height of madness

C0llynzO2:
The OP herself said somewhere that she is ''Hausa-Fulani'', so what do you expect from Southerners?
The so called misconception is the work of the north for reasons best known to them

gentleoyink:

Now you want to break them down according to their different tribes. When it is time to claim land mass, census figures and political weight, then they become Northerners and Hausa/Fulanni.

Choose you this day who the real Northerners are!

9jii: PLEASE,POSTER NEVER TAKE THESE ILL-MANNERD,ILL-IMFORMERD, GRUMPY INSIGNIFICANT GUYS SERIOUSLY.IF YOU DONT KNOW THE REALITY THEY WILL MAKE YOU BELIEVE 9JA WILL BREAK TODAY.THEY LACK MEANINGFUL WORK AND THEY ARE LOOKING FOR WHERE TO DIRECT THEIR DISAPPOITMENT.THEY TOLD NORTH IS THE PROBLEM,HAHAHA.

LIKE THIS ONE.

arewaqueen:

I think Hausa/Fulani was born out of the religious,cultural , regional and inter marriage among the two communities. I also believe is a media /political creation.

2. Well I think they are normal human beings just like you and I.

3. I believe we will be better off on our own as it will make us develop and region.

4. Our elites have failed us. They are a failure though we also have a share of the problems.

5. I have never ever witnessed any house-house preaching or Islamic missions encouraging or forcing people to change religion. For me religion is personal.

6. I dont hate Igbos. Where I live is full of Igbos with a Hausa Landlord and from comments from my neighbor she said she finds it easier to trust me with her kids than our neighbors who are from the same place as her husband IMO state and shes from Abia. Hausas and Igbos live side by side in markets and in their neighborhoods. My Igbo friend said madam if not for BH the north is a better place than where he grew up in Aba.

7. Killing/Death whether muslim or xtian isnt a good thing. We are human before anything. Contrary to what the media reports that Igbos are the targets of BH is a lie. They target every and anybody

Maybe you didn't read the articles because this one is from the world bank
http://en.starafrica.com/news/world-bank-report-says-poverty-remains-high-in-nigeria.html
as for your HIV jibe, a certian northern state has always topped the chart for the prevalence rate in Nigeria. Besides, there are far more deadly diseases than HIV and they can be found in the north.

EasternLeopard:


What are your brothers Boko Haram fighting.


From blaming Christians and Southerners to blaming the British for being educationally backward.

GEJ who built almost 500 alamajiri schools is he a Northerner. Did he waste his time blaming the British.


I repeat


North especially Hausa-Fulanis and their allies are disgrace to black Africa for blaming others for their underdevelopment.


We Igbos are not perfect but we never blame others for our shortcomings especially when we can do something about it.

Stop insulting the African dignity.

Adelaide2:

Thank you for this well-ochestrated and stage-managed response. I would have been surprised if the response was different. I hope all you northerners continue to live in denial and delusion until soapy water gets into your eyes.

domack99:

I don't believe that religion is the problem of the North, No religion is BAD, we only have BAD people. The south west also have Muslim but their economic condition is not as bad as that of the north.

I want to believe that they love their religion that they easily get deceive by people who they believe are righteous people.
