I think the violence in the north is getting out of hand and it is obvious that our Government can not curtail it.I feel it is better we vote for a split.We need a break from each other.This 50 year experiment has failed woefully and we are just living a lie right now.Jonathan will go down in history books if he can he can do this for Nigerians.Jonathan call for a national conference and let Nigerians vote and choose whether they want to stay together as one nation or not.

When Col Gadaffi recommended splitting for us (Nigeria), we were all raining abuses on him. Now, it appears it is the most sensible advise.

Learn to analyse because we're  the ones actually laughing at Gadaffi, so the joke is on you. Libya is split in two, haha

If you had cared to read my previous posts you wouldn't have come to that conclusion. Am against war but pro a negotiated separation. Am against dullards who come here advocating wars while sheepishly living the life in US/UK.

Then the Brits left, and Pakistan left taking Bangladesh, but then  Bangladesh left Pakistan.  Just two years ago Indian and Pakistan were about to nuke each other over Kashmire. Who's laughing now?
Hehehe!!!!

Who's laughing now?  The Indians are laughing because they are no longer under  British rule  and are no longer under attack by Muslim extremists in Pakistan.  The Bangladeshi's are laughing because they are no longer under British rule.  The Pakistanis are laughing because they are no longer under British rule.  

Who's crying now?  The British because they wish they still had an empire.


Who will soon cry?  The Northerners when Nigeria is partitioned and they no longer have control over oil revenues.

Hehehe.  Like I said it's GAME OVER.

Look lets face facts we need to smash the three or so bridges that link the north to the south everybody go your own damn way.  Let the North rule itself jare instead of killing everyone they dont like the look of.

It is only Muslims in the north who have serious issues the ones in the south dont cause this kind of trouble.

If anyone fancies living under sharia law please go to the North. Leave the rest of us in peace and not in pieces HABA!

People quote how Yoruba's and South South hates Igbo's and wouldn't want to be part of a break away country. I want to raise too important issues.

1. No matter the differences between the various Southern groups, they have evolved past the level of taking cutlass against defenceless groups. Hence EVEN if divisions exist between the groups, it will NEVER reach the extent of what is obtainable in Nigeria. Tell me, what is the average number of lives lost in Northern Nigeria yearly for the past 10 years?
2. Who told u Igbo's really need the other groups to form a country? Igbo's have more than enough land to sustain itself (you may want to look at the size of Israel on a map).

Any of the regions in the South can prosper independently: mostly educated, hardworking or endowed with natural resources.
The North on the other hand have a culture of not striving for education, restricted by religion and negatively affected by their living conditions. Today's Nigeria is hell and heaven joined together.

[Quote] from: virgo on Today at 06:01:22 PM
LOL! Then  he is delusional. Hausa Muslims won't even pray in the same mosque with their Yoruba counterparts.  Grin

Is that true? If so, why?

So mosques, are there separate mosques for Yoruba, Hausa, Nupe, Fulani, etc? How does it work?

Nigerian churchs I've been too have been a mix of all types of groups before. Though few northerners.[/quote]

The TRUTH is this: Even a "Stark illiterate Hausa Cobler" or Ashaba/Okada rider THINKS HE IS SUPERIOR BY LINEAGE, to any other Muslim (from any other place in Nigeria!) and as such would not consider his prayers heard, if he worships with other non-Hausa Muslims.

Go to Lagos and you will see a very, very big Mosque with loads of Southern Muslims praying inside!
But your own Hausa gate-man or "shoe-make" and the rest of his likes will "partition" a part of the main road and turn it to a make shift Mosque!


He would rather endanger himself by praying on the road, (the same road we all march over with our shoes grin ) than "share the same house of worship" with a SOUTHERNER!
The only deduction l can make out of this is that: THE "HAUSA MAN" HATES THE SOUTHERNER WITH A PASSION! It does not even matter whether they share and worship the same ALLLAH!


Now, How on earth can you hope to live "PEACEFULLY" with such "MIND-SET"?


I am still looking for a "formula" to use in changing such mind-set (Abi we should convert them to Christianity?)

What? I bet you there are less than 100 muslim Igbo's IN THE WHOLE WORLD! Frankly, I only heard of one and he died in the 1990's. Anyway, a muslim Igbo is far evolved to want to kill somebody. And in Igbo land, there is freedom of religion. We don't care what you worship. Have you heard of mosques being burnt in the South East or Igbo's trying to impose their religion on anyone? We don't give a rat ass.

I do not hate anyone. I simply hate religious extremist and people who do not value my people's lives.  And most of the religious extremist are found in only one region in Nigeria.

My people have never been pacified. The majority of Igbos do not wish to be in this union. Go on Facebook, go on Twitter, go to Igboland and ask the average Igbo how they feel about this union.

I can't speak for other groups, but for my people, I will say that 90% of the Ndigbo would be in support of our nation.

Everyone who doesnt have oil in his/her land should go and bloody farm! people will always need food.  I have been saying it for sometime we Yorubas need to get some sense into our heads and start serious farming.

It is a disgrace that Nigeria has to import food!

Leave the oil to the south south, delta regions its their land their black gold!

I have no problems with us having very open borders a few of my family married across tribes but let every sect rule himself and lets stop this madness.  We tried to make it work but this a failed marriage!

Lets get a bloody divorce.

Muslim Igbos do exist, but most of them come from the North and only joined the religion in order to integrate with their host communities. However, as we know, this is not about religion.

This is about bigotry and intolerance in the North.

We seem to feel the same here, the first time I wanted to post here, I wanted to vehemently say "DIVIDE THE F-U-K-C-I-NG COUNTRY" but did not want anybody to get offended and get angry that I used the F-word on Nigeria even( I hardly ever use the F-word but I am mad at this killings right now) when I meant no offense  and is only saying for people to be given their own countries so that peace can reign. At the end I stuck to the mantra "LET THE DIVISION BEGIN"!

Wow!
SPLIT THE DAMN COUNTRY!
LET THE DIVISION BEGIN!

Based on what, though? What is the basis for this superiority? They are poorer. They mixed a lot of animism and paganism into their "Islam" up until the 1800s (this is a big reason why Dan Fodio conquered them all.)

So why is a Hausa Muslim superior to a Yoruba one?

Less wealthy, and has no older credentials in Islam. What then is the basis? Silly arrogance.

Let Mr President take a serious and sincere decision on this because every part of Nigeria belongs to his constituency. All the Heads of these various security outfit are under Presidency.

With resource control we still remain one country right? And those from the Southern section of the country will still be massacred at the slightest no provocation? Lives are not guaranteed in the North. Resource control will not address such an issue. Security agencies cannot address the situation there. Northern Nigeria has all similarities with present day Pakistan and Afghanistan. And if care is not taken, they will start exporting their new found hobbies (blowing stuffs up) to Enugu, PH and Lagos. Watch and see.

@Ivynwa, it is just funny. I know that things will never get better in this country at the rate these people are going. The CIA was right about 2015. Intelligence reports say that Al Qaeda is in the North. Who invited them? It is equally sad that the North feels more affinity to Niger and Chad than the Middle Belt and South. Really sad! But we must not keep silent again. We did for 38 years and nothing came out of it. A split is the best option, no doubt.
