Who is afraid of division? Let the country divide now

This king is the only sensible person making use of his brain. All those beating the drums of war have no sense at all. Mostly demented and emotional Nairalanders itching for destruction. They think War is #Endsars protest.

This will only happen when a kobo of southern money is not used to fund budget or development project in the guise of federal allocation. Southerners will willfully leave the north when the country is divided or when fully restructured back to its ethnic constituents.

Smart southerners are already pushing back their investment southward. It wasn't easy for some of us that were born there but we just to have things back home. Despite all the ridicule, discrimination and the tendencies to give southern a shorter end of the stick when in most cases we contribute on an average, we still persevere until this point.

See how you are always pretending that that you want the country divided. What your true desire is , is to own the the whole country north and south and lord over the north. What I explained above is the best way to separate. All southerners without exception to go back to the south and all all northerners to return to the north.

Are there any farmers in SE? Where is the land?

Distorting?

The West will have nothing to lose also if Nigeria is dissolved.

So maybe we should kuku dissolve it then.

That will be the best thing to happen to the North. But the southerners are just pretending.

I can’t wait to see all of them in northern schools and colleges and universities, in government services in the north, in the northern markets, in businesses, hotels, estates , spare parts , building materials and all. I can’t wait to see them move back to their enclaves. I can’t wait to see them move out of Abuja with their compensation for their properties. That would the time for the north to start a true development. Agriculture, mining, trade and education with partnerships around the world.

I dunno how EFCC will tag someone a yahoo boy without proof. Owning all these gadgets doesn’t prove anything not until it is proven in court that they used them for cybercrime

Yes they are suspects. It is all by training, both the Yahoo boys and the EFCC boys.

He has been coupling them in the past for Boko Haram so why won't he feel confident in dismantling them?

Very insensitive and wicked comment

This is human bite wounds

Imagine the most educated tribe with the greatest number of constitutional lawyers and jurists in Africa now crying about a constitution they helped the country to develop. They have no shame to complain that the ignorant and illiterate North is oppressing them.

Even Awolowo was sent to prison by Yoruba judges for his treasonable crime.

PureMe01:
Only people who don't know whatsup will blindly commend the northern governors...they are simply protecting their #ONENIGERIA parasitism on nigerDelta oil.
They surely know that's a trap ahead which IPOB especially wants them to roll into.If they ever try to retaliate,that's the END of Nigeria which they know and don't want.
Their resolute resistance to retaliation despite the high provocation is 'cos their main ally,the Yorubas have deserted them.This is no more 1967!

Northern leaders have been foolishly distracted by the Nigerian contraption. Dissolving Nigeria will be good for the north. When they can concentrate on their problems and develop their people and their economy. So far they have been carried away by thinking as Nigerians, which is stupid and lazy.

LegendHero:
Northern governors should rather re-orientate Northerners traveling to the South on the need for them to refrain from using violence as the the first resort during disagreements.

If the Hausa man continue to use stabbing as a scores settling mechanism, they will always have problems with their host.

Lesson learnt for both sides. RIP to the victims and let’s rebuild Sasha market.

Distorting the whole story, you are the type that doesn’t want peace. The north will have nothing to lose if Nigeria is dissolved.

did you also read about benue mass burials. What's your take on that?

There will be more mass burial, so get ready , start digging.

UNN becoming a mega baby factory

All these cooked up stories to paint a tribe bad.

I know this might go to front page to bring more traffic and create more contention.

All unverified news are just for sensationalism and to create controversy.

Everyone keep blaming fulani for kidnapping, last year, prisoners were released from prison by endsar protesters, these same people looted police stations armory and stole guns which many of them are using to commit crime.

They know what you are saying is the truth. But they hate the truth and they will hate you too for saying the truth.

People who never witnessed war Will think war is just shooting guns and killing people.They forget that
War is starvation,
War is rape,
war is deprivation of movement ,
war is fear ,
war is lack of access to health care ,
war is lack of access to your wealth ,
war is Diseases ,
war is hopelessness , war is losing children ,
war is losing parents , war is losing spouse , war is losing loved ones ,
War is not going to school
War is creating an entire generation who will be illiterates ,
War is so much more than just shooting guns and ending lives
Even after war it will take decades for a nation to heal to reconcile and to rebuild etc, Ask Rwanda , Congo , Liberia , South Sudan and Libya , War in reality is different from war in the movies. When next you wish for war ask those who have actually witnessed 1966 Nigerian Civil War , Everybody became casualties of war both dead and the living. "United we stand, divided we fall". May God Unite Nigeria "One love keep us together "

I have lived long enough in the south and I have lived long enough in the north.. I have lived long enough in Nigeria to know when trouble is brewing..
I have read books on the civil war, I have heard both sides of the story..

I have read "Why we struck" and i have read "Why they struck"
I have heard oral history of the unfortunate Biafra war.

Across our borders, I have read about the Tutsis and I have read about the Hutus..
I have read how 1 million Rwandans were hacked to death.

I have read, about Congo, I have read about Nile I have about Zambezi..

We warned about the quit notice in Ondo... I knew it wasn't from. Shongo..

I saw the sequence starting from Akeredolu and the consequence of Sunday Igboho..

When i heard the poetic instigation of Soyinka.. I knew the show was about to begin..

Who ever is supprised at whst happened in Ibadan, Shasha town, Sai Dai sha-,Sha-Sha

We warned about ethnic profiling..
I clearly stated it will lead to ethnic cleansing..

It is now clear and obvious some people are hell bent on throwing our dear country into the chaos...

What happened in Ibadan is not spontaneous, it is was carefully planed and orchestrated..

It is a shame, barbaric and unacceptable.

All those who instigated the killing of innocent people simply because they speak a different language must be brought to book.

Enough of the cowardice.

He will get part time job in the numerous baby factories in that region and with half salary from UNN he is home and dry.

An overrated woman character-wise. Find out more about her corruption from the finance ministry parastatals.

You mean Trump the IPOBs champion President?

samdunzo:
If/when they retaliate, say goodbye to nigeria as you know it. Thats why the leaders are trying to hold them back

Retaliation is a must. Let Nigeria dissolve or evaporate but these people cannot get way with mass murder of innocent people.

Perfectsouth:
Yorubas are most tolerant people but over time, they've used this against us..
Just because we've not been speaking out doesn't mean we are foolish..
I will never advocate for violence but let's always respect our host communities, nobody has monopoly for violence

You ain’t seen nothing yet, if you think you can murder innocent people and sleep soundly, you have to think again.

The Yoruba should forget the Presidential ticket in 2023. The vicious wild attacks on innocent people in Ibadan has sealed that.

No conscientious Northerner will cast vote for a Yoruba man.

The SW must be collectively punished for these gruesome murders. I will use all my energy nd resources to sell this idea to all Northerners and indeed to all Nigerians.

You mean the attack by Yorubas?

Goodluck Jonathan has always been a pushover and an underdog. Imagine this bitter and noisy guy naming a girl after him

Valkrie:
Been reading for days how Hausa people have been running to the house of Seriki Sasa...Note Not Seriki Hausa but Seriki Sasa.meaning the Chief of Sasa..you see how these people take over peoples land and install themselves as chief...next they would be fighting to be upgraded to a first class chief and woala the whole environment would be under their control....The south people should better wake up or else they would wake up and we their home gone and the grand children bowing to a foreign chief in their own land....!! If you further investigate you would discover the said Seriki Sasa is of fulani stock...!! Same thing they did to the Hausa people and kept them subjugated till today and used as slaves...!!

Idiotic comments

samdunzo:

We are all aware of the various plans to destroy the country or plunge it into a war. As #Endsars failed in that effort now the mass murder of Northerners in Ibadan and the West is expected to give enough provocation for the country destruction plan.
I think we can actually divide in peace. All these clandestine plans are not necessary. The North should not attack the millions of westerners living among them in Northern cities and villages.

Sometimes when things are falling apart they may actually be falling into PLACE"
The Hausa/Fulani leadership in Nigeria should know that the struggle has started, no region is superior to the other.

And no region has the monopoly of violence. The North is just restraining itself. But for how long?

My message to the Nigerian media

From a Journalist

It is with a heavy heart, worry about Nigeria and a sense of impending doom that I am sending this message to my colleagues in the media .
Let me begin with a question, what exactly will we gain if Nigeria descends into war? How does it advance us, if our fellow citizens turn on each other and begin large scale ethnic killings, against each other? Let me even assume that a few of us don't believe in Nigeria anymore and want to see it broken into its constituent parts. How does enabling ethnic strife help achieve this objective in a way that guarantees the outcome you want?

For sometime now, many of us have thrown away the book on ethical reporting, propelled by emotion, we have betrayed every moral consideration that assigns our noble professsion a role so significant we are seen as the last hope of the common man, so much so our jobs are constitutionally protected.

Despite numerous examples that exist which have proved, including not too long ago in Rwanda, that the conduct of the media can help in, promoting, starting and perpetuating violence and ethnic strife, we have turned a deaf ear to pleas to not become a tool that enables hate.
But we have failed to heed these warnings.

We have given platforms to the worst among us, the extremists and the blood thirsty. We have turned militia leaders and criminals into champions. Instead of us to lead calm and rational discuss on the existential challenges we face with a view to promoting actionable solutions, we have succumbed to hysteria and the next exciting click bait headline.

And yet for many of us, especially media owners, this place called Nigeria has been relatively good .
This country has given many of us more opportunity than the majority of our fellow citizens. We have reaped a bountiful havest from this place. We have done so well that, if God forbid, this country is consumed, and chaos reigns, many of us will hop on a plane and bugger off to the many different countries abroad where our families live in peace, even though they are not native to those places.

We will run off and leave our foot soldiers, our reporters and headline writers, who we allowed maybe even ecouraged to go down this path to navigate a country at war, alone and perhaps without the ability to fully protect their families both immediate and extended from the horrors that will follow.

And there is no doubt it will be horrific. The play book is written and tested. We saw it in Sierra Leone, in Liberia, in Rwanda and more recently in South Sudan and the Central African Republic.
There will be killings in the thousands, limbs will be chopped off with machettes, women and girls will be raped, food will be scarce, fear will reign. The most brutal among us will take charge. And their word will be law. They will not tolerate journalists who try to hold them accountable.
And these horrors will not always come from the bogeyman we have been at great pains to create and project. It will come from the militia leaders fighting to take control of our neigbohoods and increasingly scarce resources. This is not a film script. This is the reality of war.
Our job is to hold power accountable and it is exactly what it should be.
The focus on those in charge, especially President Muhammadu Buhari, should be relentless and loud and insistent.

But when the killings happen and they seem to have already begun, it is not the President's family, nor that of his Ministers nor indeed anyone with any kind of serious influence that will mostly die.
It is regular folks, people already forced to travel and move in order to eke out a living , settlers, across all of Nigeria.
The ignoble role we are now playing in bringing this country to chaos is at odds with most of our history. We have always being the ones Nigerians could rely on to lift our voices, together for the betterment of this country.

Our proud history of fighting colonialist masters, carried on with the fight against military dictatorship, to standing up to civilian governments that tried to perpetuate themselves in office.
I don't know at which point we decided that a focus on ethnic profiling despite the repeated warnings about where this leads, would be a good idea.

So here we are today about to be consumed by the hate we have stoked.
They will write about us , just as they wrote about our colleagues in Rwanda. That we fanned the flames of ethnic hate, and enabled them consume our country.
They will write about us in the first person, because we live in a digital age and the internet never forgets and records last forever. They will identify us individually, and sooner or later a few of us will end up before an international court.

What we do today and what will count is whether we had the courage associated with our profession to buck the trend, jump off the bandwagon and do what is right instead of getting swept away by the moment, forgotting ourselves and the ethics that should guide us all .
In the end, we all die, but while we live, we write our legacy. It is not too late to make it one that saved our country from the brink.

Hausa cannot be fooled by fulani again

Hausas are being killed en masses in Ibadan.
