Are you sure you have seen the four walls of school before? (NO OFFENCE)

The truth is that the Northern Nigeria's brand of Islam ( mind you not the Southern brand ) cannot and will not exist peacefully with the South , ever.

In fact when I spent some time in the North, even Yoruba Muslims were killed during a particular riot, they are not see as the real deal.

Moreover the Northern Muslims are exposed to virulent strains of Islam imported from Saudi Arabia and routed to Nigeria via Chad etc.

some similarities but the facts arent the same.

Southern Sudan is one of the poorest places on earth, way behind northern sudan.

you cant say that of nigeria where tthe south is more developed.

Also some will contend that the alleged political domination by the north is not as great as it probably was.

“If you look at the footsteps of Lord Lugard, he moved through India, Sudan and to Nigeria. India has been broken up- Bangladesh, Pakistan. Sudan is about to be broken up. Nigeria may be next. These were or are large countries
“The lesson, of course, is that our leaders should read the handwriting on the wall. When the American intelligence agencies talked about Nigeria breaking up, people dismissed them as doomsday prophets. But they have not read the handwriting on the wall that it is very easy to dismember this country by external forces. Given the injustices in the land, the Niger Delta crisis for example, whether Sudan breaks up or not, our own leaders in Nigeria should be very vigilant; all those predictions may not go for nothing.”he argued- saturday Nigerian tribune 15/01/2011

I think you have over simplified the similarities. We are way far away from Sudan in terms of similarities.

Sudan is controlled by the North, but I doubt Nigeria is controlled by the North. In Sudan, you hardly get any Southern Sudanese in any government position. But in Nigeria, despite all the rumoured domination of the North by the South, other than the military leaders, it is like a 2 way thing. Southerners have occupied every key government position.


Sudan oil is in the middle of the country, with the North having some oil wells too. But in Nigeria, the North is far away from well

Contrary to widely held belief, there is a large number of indegenous christains in the north and their population could be as high as 30-40%. States like Gombe, Adamawa, Taraba, Nassarawa, Benue, Kogi, Kwara, Niger, Plataeu, Kaduna and Kebbi have significant indegenous christains. In Sudan, the North is nearly 100 muslims.

There is only one refinery in the Northern Nigeria, while 3 in the South. Nigerian oil is not piped to the North like Sudan. Other than Kaduna refinery there is no any oil infrastructure in the North.

In Nigeria, the South is superior economically and dominates almost all the sectors in Nigeria other than farming. In every market in the North, the Igbo community controls huge chunk of the economic activities. But in Sudan, the South is extremely poor.

Nigeria is more homogenous than Sudan, if Nigeria was to initiate any referendum for independence, it will be huge challenge to the government and the people as well. Most of Southerners think that their population is small in the North, but that is not the case. There is a very large population of Southerners in the North and for many, to think of going back to the south is unthinkable. Despite all the ethno-religious crises in the North, they are still there and they will be there till the end of time.

Southern Nigeria is light years ahead of Southern Sudan in terms of all indices of human development - education, social, political, economic and infrastructual developments. There is no basis for comparison.

@Tsiya: that was a candid, factual & true. I completely agree with u. True Words

Thank you tsiya for giving a 100% analysis of some true situations in Nigeria.

How could we divide and start missing Suya,Fura di nunu,kuli kuli,bozo?Who will mend and shine my shoes and sell my needs at the kiosk.Who will rear the cattle that we eat?

We need each other.
