Truthissupreme: Of course the Middlebelt has always been with the north from the beginning of colonialism. However, much of Igala and Idoma land was originally located in the southern protectorate. About half of Igala for example was under Onitsha province. These Igala and Idoma areas were exchanged for part of Auchi which were originally classified with the northern provinces. In 1964, there was a very bloody revolt in Tiv land against their inclusion into the Northern region. If the Yorubas and Igbos were united before Independence, they would have been able to force the Sardauna to hand over Kwara, Kogi and Benue to the south. Rather, Zik went to work with the Sardauna in order to create a Midwestern region which further weakened the Yoruba. All that identification with the core-north in Ilorin is nothing but survival politics. If Yorubas and Igbos had been united from the beginning and have fought for Kwara, Kogi and Benue to join the south, there is no way these groups would have resisted. That is what I am trying to say. These groups were forced to identify with Arewa' even though they had nothing in common with Hausa' fulani because they had no option. |
