Northern Elders Forum Kicks Against Nigeria’s Division by KEVIND: 7:24pm On Sep 23, 2019
The Northern Elders Forum has said that the North has never agitated for the breakup of the country, hence, it does not have any plan for it.
This is just as a member of Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed expressed disappointment in the leadership style of Northern peoples who hold various political offices in the country.
Making the assertion on Monday, a former presidential candidate of the defunct National Republican Convention (NRC) party Bashir Othman Tofa, during the inauguration of students’ wing of Northern Youth Groups, organised by Coalition of Northern Youth held at Bayero University, Kano.
According to him, “If you look at our population and what we have together is more than what anyone can hope for. So to try to destroy this is certainly a lose-lose situation. That is why we here in the North would never say we want to leave in this country. “
His words “If you examine the situation, you would find out it is only in Northern Nigeria that there is no agitation for the breakup of this country”
He said that the unity of the country is sacrosanct, adding that the North has been playing the role of encouraging the unity of Nigeria “That is why we are the root of this country. If the root is uprooted, the tree will not be there.
He then added that so we like to be patient, we like to encourage Nigerians to love their country to be united and tolerate one another. So that we can build a kind of country we like to build.”

He then advised Northerners to exercise patience in building the unity of the country, as they are the root of Nigeria’s unity.
It is Northern Nigeria that doesn’t have any specific plan of its own, in case Nigeria is divided. This means we have absolute confidence that being together is the best thing for all of us.”
Our responsibility is to exercise patience to make sure we guide this country to the kind of unity and progress we need to develop into a better country and even become a nation-state,” Mr Tofa said.
A member of Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed expressed disappointment in the leadership style of Northern peoples who hold various political offices in the country.
His words Northerners who hold different political positions had failed to address the region’s problems in areas considered to be of paramount importance for the region.
“We are disappointed with our northern leaders at all levels. We will be putting pressure on them to correct their mistakes of tackling the problem of insecurity, poor quality of education and health, the problem of economy among others.”
Alhaji Baba-Ahmed then charged northern governors to provide shelter for cattle headers in the zone to stop them from wondering about anyhow.
However, on the occasion, three regional coordinators for Northwest, Northeast and Northcentral geopolitical zones were inaugurated during the event.

Na by force? Even in marriage, there is room for separation and divorce. We are already separated, Let's divorce, let those who want to go go and stop forming glue that is gluing us together by force!

If oil is found in commercial quantity in the north, the drums of division will beat louder there than in the southeast.

FOR NOW till a very long time : IN ONE NIGERIA WE STAND.

Because,

The best bet and the best time Biafra would have come to a sovereign state was during the 6 years Jonathan was in power.

Biafra would have gotten their nation peacefully with no sweat or fight.

Goodluck Ebelechukwu Jonathan would have done it for them easy peasy.
But what happened in those 6 years?!
And why did they come up with 'Biafra or Death' just 2 months after PMB won the election back in 2015?
Only the wise have the answers.

Let's leave it there at this point.

God bless Nigeria.

DocH:
For u and your household and entire generation unborn.
AMEN AMEN and AMEN IJN. cheesy wink
God bless you so much for that prayer Doc.
We are happy you believe in our prayers and confirmed it with a more serious prayer.
IN ONE NIGERIA WE STAND.
So shall it be till the end of time.
Good boy! cheesy

richie240:

Leave them o.
Ask them who stood against the escape clause in d first republic.
Ask them who scattered regionalism in d '66.
Ask them what they were doing during 6 yes of Mr. jona.
Hmmmm,
You are a wise man Mr Richie!

The division of this country is made and designed by God. I can feel it each time I'm in the spiritual realm and there's nothing any man can do to stop it.

They are always against both true federalism and separation because the current scenario or status quo favours them but whether they like it or not they must accept either of the two in not too distant future.

"Our responsibility is to exercise patience to make sure we guide this country to the kind of unity and progress we need to develop into a better country and even become a nation-state ,” Mr Tofa said."

Southerners, at the first emboldened, can you gullible and simple minded folks now clearly see that the northerners see zoogeria as their car and we southerners as their passengers and that they are the ones that must decide whatever destination zoogeria will finally arrive at?!!!

at the second emboldened, the only way our "husband"- the northerners, would ever see us southerners as equal members in their planned future "nation-state" is if we southerners ALL get islamised!!! don't ever kid yourselves that the northerners would ever see you all as anything other than kafirs!!!

the time to come together and determine the future of our southern region on our own terms is now!!!

you can see that the northerners are seriously complaining that their politicians are not bringing enough "oyel" up north to quench their never-ending thirst for other people's wealth and they have as well told you guys clearly that they have no other plans that they have prepared for themselves in case the zoo divides because they have no other plans apart from being parasites on the South for their survival and, of course, are ready to fight anyone to the death who trys to take their feeding bottle away from their ever-sucking mouths!!!

afonjas believe they can wrangle the northern cobra like snake-charmers, but they are in for a rude awakening!!!

zoo must fall!!!
