Slavery was officially declared illegal in Islamic northern Nigeria as late as 1933.

This is despite the fact that the British Crown had abolished slavery over 150 yrs prior.

The British met a well entrenched slave based economy in the north and seemed hapless to stop constant slave raids by the Hausa Fulani in and around the middle belt.

Towns like Suleja where setup as slave raiding centers by the Muslim north in conjunction with Arab slavers.

The twin towns Abuja and Suleja where named after two Arab slave raiders , Abu and Suleiman.

In that same Suleja, the hills and their natural caves served as refuge by the indegonoius Gwari people who fled to them to avoid capture.

The slaves where transported to Kano and other slave markets in the Moslem north where a vast majority where sold in the trans Saharan slave trade while some ended up as domestic servants, field hands or sex concubines.

The groundnut pyramids you used to hear of where based on slave labour.

The British tolerated it because the Northern Muslim oligarchs where making them rich.

The House of Dantata are prime example of this dark past of slavery in the north.

They traded slave labored produce to the British and distributed finished goods in return.

This is why you will never see or hear of groundnut pyramids ever again.

This also applies to the much touted cocoa glory days in the SW. The Agbekoya Parapo uprising ended an exploitative plantation model.

This is why Tajus are not farming cocoa anymore.


Till this day a form of indentured slavery still exists in the north.

Widespread ignorance and lack of basic education has made the majority of northerners unemployable unless as field hands.

This is the reason the northern elite will never truly invest in education in the north. A vast majority of the northern illiterate population are actually descendants of slaves.

This is why a hereditary and class rotational monarchy still exist in the Islamic north even though Islam forbids it.

This is why the Maitassine class revolution was viciously put down and similarly why the Shiites have been widely condemned by the Emirates.

El Zackzacky was always preaching against this class divide and had several runnings with the Emir of Zazau.

Ironically, the same descendants of slaves living in bondage to the descendants of their ancestors' slave masters are now fighting in the NE to bring about this class society based on an inhumane doctrine of subservience and submission in the guise of religion of peace.

God dey.

There are tens of millions of Igbos in the SouthWest.

There millions of Igbo even in the North despite the bombings.

Is it safe to say those places are both part of Biafra too according to their "South South is part of Biafra Logic"

Am not surprised anyway, due to their teaming numbers in the South west, Lagos to be specific, they're already claiming it to be no mans land.

That there is the evidence of the greed of Igbos. They naturally have limited land resources but due to their gradually explosive population, they always develop the habit of populating strangers land and then when they have the numbers, decide to overtake the economic and political structure of the ancestral lands of their hosts.

They have already overtaken the Niger Delta economically and Politically, hence why they don't need to argue about the fact but usually flaunt it in front of the indegenes of those places how powerful they are.

They have partly taken over Lagos economically and were aiming to also do so politically by supporting PDP enmasse during the last elections not until Yorubas realised their endgames albeit almost a bit late and then reversed the equation. I don't need to inform you all about the Oba Akionlu saga.

you cant expect a lady of my calibre to under a sentimental work !!!! enjoy

Is either you guys are ignorant or deliberately tryin to massage your deflated egos..

DSS didn't not release any news, the details you are reading now, are the statements of facts contained in the Charge sheet which will be used to arraign The Albino any time the Case is assigned.

Mark My Words, Nnamdi Kanu Is Not Coming Out In The Next 1 Year:

Buhari does not forgive nor Forget!

joliyp:
yra to prove a point that d thread is not quite reasonable!!!! why should fight or die for man or country

EasternPride:
You are really making lots of sense.
I know DSS is trying to save face by coming now to release two press statements close to 3 months of arresting a someone of high profile case like Nnamdi Kanu.

They simply failed to make him sign an undertaking, he refused and they had to quickly charge him for treasonable felony.

The most funny part of the case is that the weapons they said they found were two "pump action" short guns. These are guns men keep in their houses for security, the type of guns ordinary body guards carry around.
Please how can someone use a short gun and kill someone with Ak 47 from afar.

This case is gradually becoming a joke. DSS is a joke, Nigeria is a joke.

joliyp:
tout I was coming to read something reasonable

EasternPride:


broh eh! THis is epic, I believe because this government is capable of anything that has to do with propaganda.

Fash20:
Continue dreaming. In reality Nnamdi Kunu is in DSS dungeon.

Who told you Dss want to release him buy all cost. Who is He (Kunu) to call the president of Nigeria a 'terrorist'. He has not seen anything yet he will suffer for all the evil he has done.

MosakuAW:


I will forever tell you that you are lost cause to this nation. Ask your stupid father and useless mother how it was when they were fighting for you useless Biafra. I know you are just a teenage brainwashed to shout Biafra without knowing the root of it. Omo-ale Omo ajekuta ma momi. Oloriburuku

Lagos is a service based economy or it's positioned to be one so it needs to attract and retain middle-income earners. The low income people can go to cheaper neighboring states and stop constituting a nuisance in a state with high cost of living. For every New York, we have a New Jersey.

I wouldn't know the demographic makeup of the destitutes. I am not a demographer or statistician and I guess neither are you. So stop with the tribalistic BS.

Lagos only needs enough low income people to work in domestic capacity. A floodgate of low income people is undesirable, they compete for resources that are limited and don't contribute anything towards development via taxes or charity.

Save the rants for someone else,your silly self said why would rich people go to lagos and not dubai ignoring the fact that the commercial market in lagos is larger than that of dubia.Only stupid peeps from rural areas would prefer administrative cities(abuja),to commercial cities(lagos).The person you quoted said lagos needs more middle class and rich people than those liabilities that were deported.Admit it!,he/she is right.

The west must have registerd their utmost displeasure and condemnation on Buharis total disrespect of the rule of law, authorization of extrajudicial killings on religious minorities , continued use of brute force to stem seccionist agenda in the southeast alongside continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu.

I believe the EU, and some European leaders would have since called for the release of both Nnamdi Kanu and El Zackzacky.


The Buhari govt has no choice but to release him or face open condnmation and sanctions on his govt if he doesn't .

In order to save face the APC govt through Nnamdi's abductors in the DSS must have approached Kanu to sign a conditional release document to which he vehemently rejected. An apologetic and remorseful Nnamdi Kanu will deflate the morale and spirit of pro Biafran youth and will also make any future similar struggle for seccesion a joke in the making.

Since there is no way Kanu will sign a conditional release where he will "apologize" to the Presidnt and Nigerians for Radio Biafra and since the ultimatum date given to Buhari by his western puppet masters is drawing close, the APC has began circulating fake news of Kanu's remorseful disposition and apology before releasing him anytime soon.

Mark my words Kanu will be free before the end of next week.

Aregberascal retained works ministry for himself and the shoddy state of govt roads and buildings commissioned under him are all evidence of Aregberascal's quackery.

Rich people see the opportunities in the slum while the poor people seek social safety nets. Population powers growth and development, see India as an example with all its slums.

kayfra:


We need more middle-income earners than a poor population. So getting rid of not so productive and attracting or keeping the productive is good for the state.
