Why Is The North Central Not In Political Contention? by Odibembem: 10:43am On Dec 31, 2022
I have observed arguments that both South West and South South have tasted power, that the two zones yet to taste power are the South East and North East. The likes of Orji Uzor Kalu used that as basis to support Ahmed Lawan at APC primaries that if South East doesn't get it, then it should go to North East being the other zone yet to taste power. What about the North Central? Why is no one fighting for them, why are they not really agitating for power to come to them also? Yes, in d military era, they produced Gowon, Babangida and Abdusalam but they have never produced a democratic leader, not even VP. At least the North East have produced Tafawa Balewa as Prime Minister for six years and Atiku Abubakar as VP for eight years. The North Central should also show interest in the presidency like the North East and South East. They are not less Nigerian

NorthCentral is a Diverse region, created by Abacha just to balance power

Kwara and Kogi have Yorubas ... Obasanjo

Nassarawa , Plateau, Niger have Hausa Fulani and many minorities --; Yaradua, Buhari

Benue and FCT are very diverse Tivs, Idoma , Gwari etc

SouthWest is Majority Yoruba

NorthWest is Majority Hausa and Fulani

North central know only an Igbo man would stand by them to take power

Took us the war n Fulani herdman to understand each other but the bond between real north central Indigenous people and Igbos is super strong ...stronger than ever ...from southern borno,to Bauchi,to gombe to Kaduna to Niger to nassarawa to kogi to taraba to Adamawa to plateau to Benue

They know who would stand by them and who have been speaking up for them

An average middle belter does not know the member state.

That's why I laugh at the ipobpigs when they say the north Central is in the bag for Obi.

It will take the grace of God for LP to get 200k votes in all the NC combined.

The NC is a diverse region, not even one state is homogeneous, the union is not strong.

Go and tell a Kogi Yagba East, Yagba West, Ibira man that and watch him laugh at you

Also Tell a Kwara State man that and watch him hiss at you

There are more Fulanis living in Kogi, Kwara, Platue , Nassarawa and Abuja for Centuries than there are Igbos


As a matter of fact most Biafra onslaught came from Middle Belt, and Gowon , TY Danjuma led the fight

At the bolded,
The north Central under what umbrella ?

Mrvitalis , you and this your shallow reasoning are inseparable.
The NC as it stands today consist of 6 member states and the fct, of which apc are controlling 5 of these state, the remaining 1 is part of the G5.
The NC have no union, each state would vote based on the kind of politics going on their.

I'm from the middle belt, NC have no single bond with ibos.

From my experience so far in Lagos, a cosmopolitan city, seems every tribe hates ibos.

Number 1 on the list are people from cross river.

And I thought Amaechi was going to win Apc primary according to you... Hahaha.

I’m from the north central, we’ve dominated during the military era, we are silent now cos it’s yet to be our turn but we’ve never been far from govt until now. We dominated the senate through saraki and David mark. The democratic era is still fresh to start complaining. The northeast and southeast should discuss first.

How can you draw map without referendum
Give the old eastern region plus Igbos in other regions opportunity to reject or accept the Biafra

Then the map, how to go about independence if accepted can begin

How many tribes ?
For you to say that you must have counted personally or are referencing some published research
When people claim to be educated we expect that to manifest in their utterances
Evidence?
How many " tribes" are there in each and every region
then we can rank
1
2
3
4
5
6

If you cannot do such a fact base ranking then you are guessing
