they said Igbos are miscreants but look at the tremendous impacts they are creating in nigeria. IPOB has given many ethic nationalities the boldness to voice their grievances. IPOB is the fearless goat that bleats foods for others. thats who we are and thats how we roll. we don't have f.ck to give. 6 Likes |

ExInferis:The whole of your post is indicative of the foulness ravaging Nigeria. Everybody is infected with the virus of ethnic and religious bigotry. If I were like you now I will remind you of someone who is battling with serious wasting disease but it's not necessary because that is not something to wish on anybody or to gloat about. 1 Like |

You people should run for president on that platform but Buhari APC never ran on that platform of restructuring or secessionist SO he will not go with your wishes. Run for office and tell the people this what you want...finish... if they elect you than fine. But all these politicians using our presidency to make frivolous demands about our to govern this country should meet quite IT IS NOT YOUR TIME TO RULE |

Nowenuse:This is precisely what I have advocated-let the South unite, align with the Middlebelt and we'd cut off this guys in the North and bring them to discuss this country. We in the middle belt are actually the ones who hold the aces in this situation. We are in the middle for God's sake. That's why I decry the hate exchanges between the Igbos, Yorubas, and the people in the south generally. 1 Like |

coptic:Actually I'd prefer to be regarded as a Nigerian but if not for the madness that has affected and twisted our national consciousness there's nothing wrong in identifying as Northerners, Easterners etc. Other countries do it and it adds beauty and variety to national identity and consciousness.

[quote author=mrvitalis post=57769898]If southern politicians have sense ...impower this northern minorities with power ..this will dislodge the power of the Hausa Fulani in nigeria As far as am concerned middle belt is the trigger in Nigerian politics ...who ever they support becomes majority The south has never given them and option We in the south need leaders that can think and plan for politics Well Fulani's and Hausa's have the playing politics for years before we came along [/quote Nice analysis there. The middle belt have been practically seeking an alliance with the south for ages. They have voted almost exclusively for southern backed candidates in protest to fulani methods but Southern politicians are nitwits. How many of them have tried to create a strong alliance with the middle belt? How many of them have met with them as it concerns this fiscal federalism issue? How many of them have gone on condolence visit to the middle belt? Our people no just sabi aeg. 1 Like |

Mujtahida:There is nothing wrong identifying as middle belt people, to me the terms middlebelt and north-central are all the same.Where the danger os is trying to give it a religious coloration by calling it middlebelt and other minority tribes/Christians. Once you give your campaign that coloration two gigantic problems arise. 1. The middle belters who are Muslims will never be loyal to your cause once you disparage Hausa-Fulani at every slight opportunity and try to align with people from Southern Borno and Gombe just because they are Muslims. At the end the middle belt will be divided. and we all know what happens against a divided house. 2. You will generate bad blood from the rest of the north as well and you will be between the south and the north with no ally to turn to. Weigh your options and consider what's best for you. You people can decide to revive help the Arewanism from the time of Sardauna where every northerner regardless of tribe or religion is treated equal. Burn that alliance completely and try to align with the south (may be join Biafra) or stay independent in the middle. Nigeria shall be balkanized, let everyone go! Enough blackmailing the north. 1 Like |

Mujtahida:Madam don't be silly, the so called middle belters have been the ones taking a lions share in whatever the north benefits from. Tell me when middlebelt was ditched for development or appointments. The FCT we are accused of transferring to our region is in the middle belt, the heads of states from Gowon to IBB to Abdussalam that ruled for such long times are from middlebelt. The northerners accused of cornering Niger Delta oil blocks are mostly middle belters. What else do you want from the north? 1 Like |

EazyMoh:Yes we identify as middle belt but we also want to be known as middle belt not North Central. There's everything wrong with tagging the middle of Nigeria 'North Central'. It's a political formula that violates plain geographical logic. It's at the centre and should appropriately be tagged 'Middlebelt'. We don't have South Central so why should we have North Central? Let Arewa do their thing. We've romanced with them for long(we in the middle belt fought that bloody civil war not the Hausas or Fulanis because we formed the bulk of the rank and file in the Nigerian military at that time). I'd rather we align with the South and force you guys to answer to the total restructuring of Nigeria especially politically and economically(I hope you know that even in Pre independence politics UMBC was aligned with Awolowo's AG). Let every state control it's own resources. Why of all the delegates to the 2014 conference, only those from Arewa rejected the UNANIMOUS recommendations after they had participated in it? (I say the above out of political expediency and not hatred. I regard every tribe in this country as important but unfortunately not many reason like me so we have to be realistic) I do not support the middlebelt joining Biafra. It can never happen (even if I were to wish it, - which I don't because I want this country to remain as one- it would still not happen). This is reality. And I see no reason why the North is not in the forefront clamouring for restructuring. For God's sake if this country is restructured, I don't mind sacrificing to build up manpower, promote education, development in the North just to prove that this region can do it. Just to explode forever the wrong view held by other Nigerians that Aboki get nothing, Aboki no sabi book. Aboki can do exceedingly great even without oil. People! people!! people!!! That's the greatest resource of any nation. And I know from my University days in ABU that those in the North can match their contemporaries in the West, South and East and even surpass them in ALL spheres. All it takes is believe and hardwork. Shikena Every damn part of this country is important. Let nobody, no tribe, group or section disparage or disregard the other. That is the legacy of the wasted generation of our forebears. It feels good in the heart to hate, mock and deride other groups but experience has shown that it is no good for national development and it would NEVER put food on the table for the vast majority of Nigerians irrespective of tribe or religion. Our conversation must change. All I want is for Nigeria to move forward. Nations are rapidly dropping politics for development and economics. We are here playing politics of division, of hate, of injustice. It has to end. It just has to end. 3 Likes |
