IT IS MIDDLE BELT, NOT NORTH CENTRAL

Brothers of Middle Belt and South, the people of MB had rejected being called "North Central" and for now, until after they get their new Republic and vote in a new name for themselves, they have signified they want to be called MIDDLE BELT.

REJECTION OF NORTHERN CONTROL
On 9 August 2001, a delegation from the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), which represents the North, visited Jos, Plateau State, in the heart of the middle belt. Major General Abdullahi Shelleng invited his audience to join the ACF. However, in response governor Joshua Dariye made it clear that he was not interested in being marginalized and would prefer to remain a "middle-belter". In an interview, retired Air Commodore Jonah David Jang put the position simply: "Middle Belters are Middle Belters, and we will remain Middle Belters".

In September 2001, retired Air Commodore Dan Suleiman, former governor of Plateau State and chairman of the forum, said the Middle Belters are grossly marginalised and have become an endangered species on the brink of extinction and cultural annihilation. He was supported by retired General Zamani Lekwot, a former military governor of Rivers State, who attributed the failure to create a Middle Belt region in 1963 to politicians perceiving the Middle Belt as a threat.

Arewa will off course continue to rudely call them "North Central" and what else to expect from losers who are seeing that Dan Fodio's Dream where the Fulani empire will last only 200 years is happening. (Google it)

It helps us identify Arewa as they will not be able to say or write "Middle Belt". grin

It is Middle Belt, not North Central.

Below is what the future will look like, as 4 new countries:
