Yes agreed.

But the bolded
1. Zik Refuses to add secession into constitution

2. 1st Coup

3. Destroyed regionalism (even tho Gowon finished everything)

4. They didn't work for southern unity until 2015

And now everyone is blaming west undecided

Point one: You can’t blame the fulani for fighting to keep Nigeria one, since at the beginning they told them they can’t go.
That’s like investment
Point 2: don’t have anything to say
Point 3: well it’s not the fault of the north too
Point 3: Either it’s the business of the north

The point here is bro
The north never wanted to be part of Nigeria
The south forced them, the north never for once destroyed the structure of the country the south did all that
The constitution we are currently using was first used by a southerner

Why blame the north for everything

To be honest, I am not blaming north for anything.

I only blame them for not correcting everything in this country cos they're the one that ruled the most and they ought to have strengthen the institution

I blame them for using quota system and not appointment people via merit.

I blame them for being sympathy to Corruption and turning blind eyes to the evils of their people.

If Fulani are truly United then why are Fulani Bandits Kidnapping and killing Fulani people in Trailer Loads in the North ?

Why can’t the Sultan of Sokoto call his boys to Order tell them to release all their Captives all over the Country and to disarm ?

They lost control already

YORUBAS ARE SEDITIOUS. IGBOS ARE REBELLIOUS. REBELLION IS THE ULTIMATE FRISBEE.

GOWON GAVE AWOLOWO FREE HANDS TO WORK COOPERATION WITH OJUKWU BUT OJUKWU RENEGED.

OJUKWU TURNED THE TABLE TO BOMB ORE, A YORUBAS' TERRITORY INSTEAD OF KANO WHERE THE TROUBLE STARTED.

SHOULD THE IGBOS NOW GO AHEAD AND BOMB EITHER KANO OR DAURA OR ANYWHERE IN KATSINA, THE YORUBAS WILL FOLLOW THE IGBOS. THAT'S AN ADVICE. IT'S NEITHER A SEDITION NOR A REBELLION.

Fulanis did not hold power since 1966 if you are educated, not a liar or formentor of thoughtless arguments.

Starting from the stupidity of Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe which he later regretted...
An average Fulani person will support their own any day any time no matter how terrible the case may be

Fulani, are not ruling alone, there is this invisible hands of British, controlling Nigeria through them, have you asked yourself,why would,a Muslim Bihari pretend to go to Britain for medical attention, always.that is where the bonds are tightened the more,

What do you want Britain to do when South nigeria's are stupid and illiterate. Southern nigerians will run to the white man's country, as immediately they get there they want to vote for themselves so that they can destroy the white man's country so what do you want Britain to do it is better Britain, america and europe destroyed them before they can destroy white man's country with their illiteracy and stupidity. Southern nigerians are one of the most stupidest people they will run to another man's land and now want to vote for themselves.

Because the South West joined them to finish Biafra post 66!
It took Nzeogwu only 30 minutes to destroy the fulani political engine right there in Kaduna on January 15 1966! Emir of Kano and co were begging for their lives.. Sarduanas political machinery was totally annihilated! Nigeria was free...
But Awolowo and his brothers felt that the counter coup provided an oppurtuinity to blow the igbos away once and for all and so an Awolowo that once described Nigeria as a mere "geographical expression" joined a Gowon that said he had no more trust in one Nigeria to start a fight for oil in the east. That was how the fulani got control of the Army, Police and the Navy. The rest is history..

Forget religion
Nigeria is 50/50 on religion
The advantage is that the fulanis knows how to play their politics

Just check it
You guys hate Buhari but love Atiku


Bigoted Buhari and the bigoted Fulani hegemony behind him took full advantage of the core muslim norths’ predilection for islamofascism and expanding islams influence and control in Nigeria! There’s little or no difference between religion and politics as far as Islam is concerned, and this is what the ruling hegemony in the north (the Fulani) have used to their advantage!

You want to pretend you’re not aware of Buhari making comments pre-2015 on how he wants Sharia to spread all over the country!? You easily forget his divisive statement when he visited Lam Adesina in Ibadan in the noughties!

You talk of Igbos ‘hating’ Buhari! Fact of the matter is Igbos, pre 2015 elections, knew his antecedents...that he’s a bigot, a divisive figure and doesn’t have the capacity to govern a complex and plural country like Nigeria! Events have since proven us right! We didn’t hate him...we just didn’t have his time!

Buhari on the other hand, hates Igbos passionately! He proved it in the late 60s counter-coup...proved it during his first coming in 1983....and has been proving it since 2015 to date!

for the very first time I will disagree with you.

@op, the answer is simple; the British that gave them power and control are still ruling our country indirectly through them and because the Fulanis are unwise, the Britain are leveraging on that, they cannot trust the much educated south....

You talked about Buhari but didn't talk about Shagari and Tafawa you guy queue to vote.

Are they Igbo?

And they voted for Bashir Tofa against Abiola, most of them including Ojukwu supported the annulment of June 12 since their Fulani candidate lost

You have some points!

Southern ethnicities are not obsessed with capturing power as the Fulani ethnic grp is! They don’t see having power as the be-all-and-end-all in life, and this is why you see them excelling in so many other fields of endeavour!

The Fulani have also used religion (Islam) as the major tool to rally the troops as it were, and get other majorly islamic ethnic grps onside!

Southern groups also should find ways to rally their people to come out to vote if they're serious about getting power. Tinubu is doing his bit organising, but his bitterest enemies and those who envy him most are from the south.

Even by 2011 ibos captured Jonathan's govt, they took virtually every available political appointment. They didn't care about Federal character, religious balance, southern unity. They didn't care how Hausa of Fulani or northern groups felt. Greed took over as usual.

That's why they're always after SGF position. Buhari did them strong thing by making sure they didn't smell that position.

Among all of them na buhari government worst and na una vote am back to back.

Buhari govt is the best, amongst all Nigerian govt, he's the only one that realised what the colonial masters saw that for Nigeria to develop, rail transport is the number 1 project.
He has completed 4 rail projects while all the others before him completed none. And there are at least 3 other rail projects going on as we speak

Stop telling lies it was Zik wing of Ibos that betrayed Nzeogwu by hijacking the coup to take over Nigeria for themselves alone.
Ironsi quickly implemented Zik vision of unitary system while Awo was left in prison.

Ironsi did not care about southern unity, all they wanted was Ibo domination.

It was Gowon that deem it fit to release Awo from prison. You now want Awo to attack Gowon and fight for those who loved his incarceration

The corruption going on in the southern States and FG led by southern president is also because Fulani turned blind eyes?

You may even blame Fulani for sleep disorder and weak erection.
