This country would actually be better off without the northerners(no offence) but really violence is in their blood.Boko haram-north, herdsmen- north.Basically all the terrorist attacks Nigeria has been undergoing were caused by northerners. I used to be against Biafra, but now......not such a bad idea

PreyingMantis:
One thing is crystal clear... You're not from the Middle-Belt. I'm a full-blooded Igbo man and I'm not ashamed of saying it. For the umpteenth time... Who are you? I have zero tolerance for impostors. Now run along and look for more people to slaughter in Benue state.

PreyingMantis:
Another marauder from Futa Jallon claiming Middle-Belt. You have nothing to say. Go and tend to your cows.

PreyingMantis:
Amoto94

You're not Fulani or Hausa.... Then why are you very reluctant to tell us who you are. Are you Tiv, Berom, Igala or Idoma? Tell us what you are and I'll properly address your issue. Your brain needs reformatting to default settings.

PreyingMantis:
Don't mind those uneducated clowns... They think everybody is as daft as they are. In case they have forgotten, I'll give them a little reminder.

The first pronouncement by Gideon Gwakar Orkar(a middle-beltern)during his unsuccessful coup attempt was the immediate expulsion of the Core North from Nigeria. I wonder why that coup didn't succeed. Nigeria would've been permanently restructured for the better and we would have had peace.

These online imbeci1es come here all the time to give the deceitful impression that they have anything in common with the Middle-Belt. We all know the truth. Right now the Fulani immigrants from Futa Jallon are doing everything humanly possible to conquer and subjugate the hapless Middle-Belt. I pray another Gideon Orkar arises from their midst someday.

Stop saying what you don't know, I have been to about 85% of LGs in the north west, did you know that the cheapest thing in this place is FOOD?, farm fresh food oh.
Don't be deceived, you need to go to these places to understand what I'm talking about.
These people have also mastered this thing called irrigation, their farmland are nor really rain dependent, which means there is nothing like dry season, my concern is that the farmlands are being over exploited which may have adverse effect on their production in the future.

Dollyak:
Which NC? Kogi, Kwarans, benue, Benin, or Plateau? I have read quite a few books on Nigeria so I don't know from which source you are giving your assertion.
Kwarans (not culturally-Mostly Yorubas), nasarawa are the only ones that exclusively shares religious beliefs with the core Northerners.

Dollyak:
I know the argument comes down to Agriculture majority of which are produced in Plateau, Kogi and benue state. Please stop claiming this people as core Northerners. It is often said that a middlebelts can never rule Nigeria because they are neither accepted in the North except for stratetigic reasons.
Once Middlebelters allign with the South you lots will calm down.

Dollyak:
You are the blind person here. You guys don't care about NC, they share nothing (culturally) with you guys,doesn't get as much funding as the core northerners, so don't include them in your write up.
Let's just ignore the questionable population of both NW and NE being bandied about, what does the whole SE gets in proportion to NW? Let's start from there.

I specifically mentioned core northerners which is exclusively NW and to an extent NE.

Dollyak:
Well I do agree with all the point.
1. I agree that proportionately, core northerners get the most and contribute the least. I.e It's criminal how kaduna gets more funds than Oyo state.
2. The deliberate marginalisation of SE being the root cause of biafra agitation is also absolute. Though, I blame the selfish elders in Igbo land who are not strategic but only cares about their wallet.

Harzan:
@Amoto94 U really try oooh! To share your time with pple lik this.
Esp that Dollyak wey dey take pcm for another person headache.
Don't know y they are not happy with d peaceful coexistence we enjoy in Ilorin. So, what's the benefit of joining the Yoruba speaking states? What achievement can be linked to d ones on ground? Shioor!
If d whole country can share dsame love, be each other brother's keeper, love and care for fellow Nigerian no minding ethnicity, tribal difference nor where d leaders come from, we won be where we are today. Yet, because u were fortunate to buy cheap mb, u sit at your convenience to promote disunity. It's a pity.
For the other guy,
If Nigeria taya the guy clamouring for division, he can as well relocate to Somalia or Niger! Mthcewww!
I believe in Nigeria, and this Country shall b great again.
God bless Nigeria
God bless Kwara State.

I am not saying Nigeria should adopt the EU system, I mean for West Africa and possibly the world, Nigeria should be buried since it has failed. Let Igbos, Yoruba, Hausa and etc stand alone or with allies in real nations with African languages in official status used in their parliaments and in schools with English and others, let those viable nations stand alone as sovereign nations and develop their space as neighbours to each other under the moderation of the United Nations.

lawani:
You have made a very good observation, a most intelligent one but what language would you suggest be used in such a country and if such a country is a theocracy, how should the God be rendered? There are people already in West Africa whose first or second language is Yoruba who have essentially thesame concept of God and thesame kind of societal organisation as the Yoruba. I believe it is better for such a group to emerge as a nation.

The word Yoruba is new but Ile kaaro o jiire is not new, Ife is not new, the Yoruba language is not new. People defined by any one or more of these are thesame, they dont feel superior to each other or other human beings, they can work together easily. So Yoruba have been one even though they fought themselves in the past, tongue and teeth fight, brothers fight, disagreements are part of the human culture but allignment along the path of language and culture is beautiful and is the best. So far Germans, French, Spanish; Russians and Italians are not one nation, no reason for Nigeria to be a nation, moreso that it has failed. However, West Africa and even the whole globe can be a trading bloc like the EU.

lawani:
I had to point that out to you. Some Yoruba were put in the North. A Fulani person was controlling the ruling NPC while the Yoruba controlled the opposition. So the NPC used their influence to instal an Emir in Ilorin since the Governor of the North then was a Muslim Fulani supremacist. He couldnt instal a Yoruba of part Fulani ancestry, so he installed one of part Hausa ancestry to spite his opponents who were Yoruba in the AG. So when Alhaji Mohammed Lawal an Afonja scion became elected Governor of Kwara state, he promoted the Aare Afonja to 1st class to equal the Emir and the move was reversed by Gov Saraki when he became Governor, the Ajikobi family who are custodians of the British protection agreement also remain disgruntled as they see themselves as the rightful Olu of Ilorin.

The problem we have is that of mutual suspicion and lack of cohesion so rather than continue with that, breakup the country into units where they understand themselves and have a uniform culture where interests can be more easily alligned. There are good and bad people everywhere. So let the Hausa Fulani go and manage themselves and allies while the Yoruba, Igbo and etc also go and do thesame.

lawani:
There are no Fulani in Ilorin. No Fulani Jihad ever took Ilorin, Bariba or Nupe south of the Niger. Educate yourself. Only Nupe North of the Niger fell under the Jihad. Yoruba North of the Niger have Obas. Please go and read and stop displaying your ignorance. The Ilorin Emir's name is Gambari which means Hausa and not Fulani, his forebears were Imams. The last Afonja Oba of Ilorin died in 1895 and Ilorin was signed under British protection by a descendant of Alaafin Abiodun. The only Ilorin chief of part Fulani ancestry is the Balogun Fulani and I am not more Yoruba than that chief.

Dollyak:
Frustrated life you said . When you are treated equally instead of being second class citizens to fulani then come back and talk about the definition of frustrated life. I don't hide my feelings about fulanis and any attempt to liberate Yorubas from fulanis brainwashing is welcome by me. You guys are the ones leading a frustrated life and you are not liberated either. What a shame. Perhaps because I have read enough stories about Yoruba to know we should have been a lot greater than this. Old SW led by awolowo was competing with Egypt in terms of development. Now they are being sucked dry. Massive injustice that kaduna gets more allocation than Oyo state.
Save your preaching for someone else.

Dollyak:
If you are a Yoruba then you are a gullible person who has lost his sense of being. How can you be comfortable with being ruled by a fulani? I have read many historical facts on past wars in Nigeria and I can only conclude Kwara people to be a coward, betrayals and shortsighted people. Fools deserve their leaders seems appropriate with you lots especially with saraki. Fools are easily dismissive of their history, same thing i keep telling my African American/British friends about white people.
