PointB:
Sharrap there, you scheming mischievous imp
When did Benue become a fulani enclave?

Where did you get that stu.pid info from?

dude there were fulanis living in benue even before the formation of Nigeria

dayokanu:
History has it that its a Ibo man who prevented the North from dividing this country and not the other way round

Anyways kudos to you on your attempt to rewrite history

Thank you a famous quote

Bello tells Nnamdi :- We the north don't want to be part of this union, we are too different from the southerners

Nnamdi tells bello :- Lets throw away our differences and unite to form Nigeria.

Awolowo agreed with Bello and tells Nnamdi to put a clause on the agreement on the formation of Nigeria

Nnamdi tells Bello :- rather than throw away these differences, lets understand them.

Nnamdi said No and became the president. who's headache  

the North, the west or the east

PointB:
Exactly what we are asking? What do you bring to the table - North, SW? What?

North- food, miltary

SW - brains

SS- Oil

SE- trade, aka the rope that connects Nigeria.

everyone bring something to the table, stop trying to remove other parts because of greed

Beaf:
You didn't delight in my retort today, because I got so carried away that I didn't tell how much I love you, never forget that. Please accept my cyber token below, troublesome as you are, I mean it.
For your info, PointB and all intelligent NLer's are my masters, please never forget that also.

With that cleared, I would dearly love to know where you got the idea about the core-Norths "agricultural prowess."
To my layman's eye, there is only evidence of decay, lost groundnut pyramids, forgotten cotton plantations; this aside the sad fact that most of our agricultural produce actually comes from the Middle Belt states of Benue, Plateau, Taraba and Adamawa. Goats and sheep are predominantly imported from Niger.
Please could you unlock the mystery of the core-Norths "agricultural prowess?" I am willing to learn.

LOL you are back to your senses now, good

bolded part

the middle belt has Hausa, kanuri and fulani people in there, thus zone does not determine ethnicity

Adamawa is kanuri.

taraba, benue are all fulani

cows are in kwara as well

Spices and conduments are from kebbi, jigawa and co

Point B you still have not answered my question  

I guess I was right after all, You people, your leaders and your forefathers Know the truth but only chose to lie.

Isn't it funny how Point B tried to divide the North and kept calling SE/SS union

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=798719.msg9508058#msg9508058 date=1320781113]You've nailed it.

To be quite honest, the #s are reassuring. SW can stand on its own, without annexing anyone.

We have 4 strong states (Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Ondo), one weak one (Osun) and only one liability (Ekiti).[/quote]Who told you ekiti is a liability ?

Ekiti has its role just like other states in the SW,

Without Ekiti and Osun, Lagos would be long dead and every single awori knows that even to Oba eko and Oba Bini.

One must go sarifice for others to survive.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=798719.msg9508026#msg9508026 date=1320780882]Anyway, if naija scatters, I extend an open invitation to Kwara and Edo to join the squad. Though judging from those IGR #s for those two states, they'll be fine (or OK at least) whichever way they decide.

I also extend my invitation to Itsekiri, of course.[/quote]excactly, Invitation is good but claiming is bad

if the SE extend it to the SS then good, it is there decision but without invitation and just claiming that it is automatic is just annoying only for them to divide other zones as mid-west and Middle belt

anyway me and my wife Bliss4lfy are watch onto bed.

Bliss4lyf and I would have the final say in this equation

isn't it nywanne bliss4lfy

PointB:
Lol, Igbo poor? What nonsense won't one hear on Nairaland. Any, if it is on the basis of IGR, it is clearly nonsense talk. IGR is just a function of raising tax, if the SE states refuse over-tax citizens it simply because they dont think it is necessary. I am yet to see an Igbo man begging on the street. So I wont comment further on this Igbo poor argument, it's simply out of ignorance or malice.


As for export of food crops, the last time I checked Nigeria is still a net importer of food, so no one is export food in any quantity to outside the country. However, if it is within the country, then you need to find out what is what is brought from across the Niger daily.


Considering the Middle Belt issue, you are a bundle of contradiction. On one hand you accused me of calling them Middle Belt, next you assumed I was looking for reinforcement in the middle belt? Where exactly do you stand?

For you information, Middle Belts have separate identity from the Sharia North, unless if you haven't learnt anything recently.

And on that point I ask my question, rather more specifically, can Sharia North stand alone?

If Alaigbo is rich then WHAT IS U PEOPLE FIXATION ON IJAWLAND, URHOBOLAND, OGONILAND IBIBIO LAND ETC ?

why can't alaigbo stand on there own

for ur information and here is a little history of the north for you

Do you know that between 1950-60 the Kanuri wanted to secede

Did Kanuri call hausa or fulani or jukun before they can leave ?

If not for balewa the kanuri would have gone and Kanuri would not take anyones land, why is your own differnet

jmaine:
You people have abrogated so much power to Beaf . . . even thinking contrary views and opinions to the antagonistic stand of nairaland is accrued to beaf . . .This Beaf na super man oo!  . . .  

Not by Beaf but the power of propaganda . Yes

We need to be careful before the devil instigate a rwanda genocide on another group in Nigeria.

Names like parasite, leeches, Cockroaches, etc used to describe the Hausa and fulani people is WRONG

Or Names like TWO-face, Rats, cockroaches, traitor etc used to describe the Yoruba is very wrong

We really need to becareful

Lets not FEED THE DEVIL,

btw eti eti I am learning Ibibio

Bliss4Lyfe:
No I do not agree and my day was on Nairaland.  Coming away from the site soon, very addictive.

I agree, very addictive site.

Anyway, forget this nonsense Beaf is trying to sell to u people. He is a well known bigot and a very good tribalist

Bliss4Lyfe:
By the way, as far as i am concernedthe key states on the IGR are Lagos, Delta and Port Harcourt. All the others are volatile, extremely volatile. They clearly benefited from the eight years of investment under OBJ to an extent and States like Oyo that is Ibadan has alot of Igbo businessmen, likewise Ogun with Abeokuta/Ijebu.

If u doubt me why did Fashola deport yorubas in Lagos and not Igbos. Where does he get the tax money he is using for lagos development and maintenance? Why has he freely given away Lekki to foreigners with very low tax returns and in some cases none and all sort of promises that they now own that part of Lagos?

Thank you bliss4lyf, you are right

Now do you accept my intial theory that IGBOS are a minority in Nigeria. Yes or No

since the Highest Igbo population and concentration is in Lagos, Oyo and Kano

lagos of a population of 9 million has 50 % Igbos thus 4.5 million. Still Lagos remain a yoruba speaking enviornement even that Igbos are a majority because yorubas are CERTAINLY not the remaining 50%

Thank you , How was your day today ?

GAR3TH:
The Fact remains that NO PART OF NIGERIA CAN STAND ALONE. even the Niger delta states have nothing, take away the oil and they will all collapse. The only places that may stand a chance is [size=33pt]Lagos[/size] and possibly rivers, other than that every region in nigeria is worthless. [size=33pt]You guys on nairaland always have draft arguments, in this case you are arguing who is the poorest of the poor, which in this case is the north. Pathetic,[/size] [size=33pt]and some even try and associate them selves with the SS, why because their region is also worthless[/size].

Thread close. No point in auguring again

[size=33pt]One question to this SE people.

Can the SE stand on there own without lumping the SS with themselves EVerytime ?[/size]

Answer is No they can't because of

1. access to the ocean

2. Oil money

3. Ndi the one and Only majority so they can crush any resistances by minorities

4. Expansion of territory

5. Use the minorities

Igbos are NOT A MAJORITY IN THE SS don't let them lie to you. I have lived in port harcourt and they are not majority there not to talk of SS

Here is an ethnic map

Bliss4Lyfe:
[size=14pt]In hell?? Don't make me start my campaign now. u did be surprised, wat happens.[/size] 

trust me if u know the bitterness people have against IBB, you would stop your campaign

IBB did not put OBJ there, It was either OBJ or Falea and he chose his corrupt friend and military man OBJ

He did nothing for Nigeria nor North or SW.

anyway how was your day sweetie

i pray nigeria would be like this if the fuel is increased to 145 N

useless government
