I don't threaten anyone,what I am saying is that what is good for the goose is also good for the gender
Equity,fairness is the only key to national unity but when u see a people and castigate them perpetually...the hatred becomes endless..
You are pushing for SW forgetting they have hard it 8years?
Why not them do the wait?
They should sacrifice that
SS has been doing the sacrifice for 64years
SS is bleeding
Nigerians would v been another chad,niger etc if not for the wealth in SS
So why can't other region do they wait just so they complete their tenure?

Brother I understand your point... Niger Delta region is the most important region in Nigeria... Unfortunately most of your leaders have no reputable legacy except GEJ who I still respect... Pls don't take this comment offensive
Niger Delta deserve more... It's left for you people to groom a candidate we can trust... We don't have problem with Niger Deltans... Jonathan has done more for the north than Buhari and yar'adua combine

Who is afraid of war nonsense
Bring it on we tired of threats

Nobody wants war... We are only refuting fake news

helinues:
At least the media will do little investigation without publishing any news and if they are caught spreading false news, we have seen them apologising.

Have you guys ever apologised for most of your lies starting from Jubril? Why are there no reputable media from your region to do the damage instead of some illiterates to be pendling lies and false news upadan.

These days, nobody is ready to argue with you people... Na to present you people with facts and watch una Usain Bolt like una Dilector

Bekool:
This is very impressive and commendable from the new generation of northern youths we from the better east wish u all well but the only problem here is if you also want to continue with the evil path of ur father's who don't love to see the SE region politically and economically free this is where God himself will seriously punish and destroy u all if u decides to also follow this wicked evil path.

I don't have problem with an average Igbo man!

I'm the most misunderstood person on Nairaland

I'm only after ipobs... The religious and tribal bigots!

I'm making them experience what it feels like to stereotype and condemn a whole region!

No tribe has the monopoly of bigotry!

The SS is presenting a candidate to complete their tenure.
Heaven wouldn't fall if Gej didn't hand over to buhari like Obj did
U need to appreciate that knowing that a SS man gave the north / buhari the highest gesture of his lifetime
The north best allies is the SS

Our oil is there for share for sears now
Where is ur appreciation?

Don't anger the SS to revolt

We càn dash US our oil to have niger delta state so that abuse the will of the SS

we don't have problem with South south Ruling this country... Jonathan is one of my best president!

But let's Collectively push for the south west 2023... Power will surly go back to the south south... You people should start grooming a presentable candidate...

And pls you don't have to threaten me with oil...

SLAP44:
As chijioke onye Atani will say "Anaghi akpo oga na korota"

We are too busy in this side to waste valuable time exchanging propaganda with regions who obviously survive on it. You need the propaganda more, that's why you cannot leave the NBS or NPC.

your own version of propaganda is too odd and illogical!

helinues:
I guess you guys are enjoying the disgrace going on social media lately..

we'll continue exposing their lies...

This is just the beginning...

EjaikreTheViper:
sharaaaaap!

Come and shut me up...

Bobonnukwu:
You dey mind that clown? Come Enugu, Aba, Onitsha, Akwa and even Owerri, dem plenty everywhere.

stop deceiving yourself... Those guys aren't Nigerians... They are Niger migrants... We have them here in the north too!

I'm not saying we don't have Hausafulanis in the south... But they're very few! Most of them prefer Lagos

kettykings:
But if there is a war between Arewa and igbos and external parties in south west, south south, middle belt, Britain, Russia, Chad and Niger remain neutral, will Arewa survive the onslaught from igbos

Nobody is talking about war here... Northerners are historically warriors

We don't have to fight any war even if we are going to divide this country... Everything will be done diplomatically... We are not in stone age!

Apawicked:
I know your not a northerner but Hausas are found in their scores in every street in south east even in the villages hustling their own way

I have been to Enugu state... 82div I hardly meet my fellow northerners in enugu town... The only place I meet northerners is in ABC... The place they used to change Dollars close to O,cross

Davash222:
So, why are you bothered about the deportation of your alledged foreign nationals??

I'm not bothered... I'm just refuting fake News.

Pls you have the ears of your governors... Tell them to deport all the Nigeriens...

FirstbornWds:
French??

yes they speak French... Confront any of them in the south... That's if they will not pretend... Because many of them are enjoying the privilege of being call Hausas...

Nobody sees them as foreigners in the south the way we see them as foreigners in the north

Shezkid01:
Since they are not Nigerians with no valid visa

You want them to face another BK herdsmen
Everybody should stay in their region please

that's The fault of federal government not us... Nigeria is a country where neighbouring African countries migrate without visa or strict immigration policy...

Davash222:
Still, we are not accommodating any Almajiri, at least for now.

our people hardly travel to the east... Tell your governors to stop deporting imaginary Almajiris...

SLAP44:
So why are you crying for people that are not from Nigeria?

The news is FAkE...

Yarima never threatened any region!

Our youths here hardly travel to the south!

Southerners hardly differentiate between a Nigeriens and Hausafulanis...

They see every Hausa speaker as onye Hausa...

Hausa and French is Niger republic official languages

This is FAkE news!!

Arewa youths never threatened any region!

The person that posted this is a blogger who is here to Generate traffic to his site!

And the only way to gain this is to concocted fake Negative news that will Attract readers to his site!

Dear Chrysora Why must you post fake News just because you want to Generate traffic to your site??

Do you know you are instigating crisis??

Dear southerners let me make this clear to you...

80% of those Abbokis you see in the South are not Nigerians... They speak Hausa and are generally Muslims but are not Hausafulanis they're migrants from Niger republic!

The only places you'll find Hausas in the south are in military, customs, police, tailors and those changing foreign currency.

Arewa youths didn't threatened the south east... We have more Igbos in the north than Hausafulanis in the whole south!

9japride:
Hope you guys can educate the fulani herdsmen to shun voilence. Nigerians are tired of primitive actions which is not of this present civilization. I hardly see any of you guys condemning their actions and you expect people to see you differently.

Killer herdsmen are sponsored political criminals...

Their atrocities is has no boundary...

oyatz:
Let me contribute to this discussion.

1) The Historical backgrounds and worldviews of people in the core North is DIFFERENT from people in the South and these are molded by the religion of ISLAM.

2) The Legacy the the Uthman dan Fodio's Jihard.


The Jihard sought to correct some perceived evils in the various Hausa kingdoms by toppling the ruling Hausa Dynasties and establish an egalitarian community in which every body will be equally and justifiably treated under the banner Islam.

3) To achieve num-2 above, the Fulani Jihadists stressed Religious (Islamic) identity over all other identies, including ethnicities.

4) Politics of Colonial Nigeria. Those who have lived together under the Sokoto Caliphate practicing similar (Islamic) culture and inter-marriages for about 100 years before Colonial rule were regarded by the British Colonial Government as one homogeneous unit- the Hausa-Fulanis.

5) There are examples of similar different but similar ethnic groups/Towns being regarded as one unit (of administration) during the colonial rule e g Ogori-Mangogo, Ikwerre-Igbo, Sango-Otta.

Recently, I have also seen some people from Ilorin referring to themselves as 'Yoruba-Fulanis'

thank you for your selfless contributions

fk001:
It started with intermarriages between them many many years ago but is more peculiar in the NW than NE. Some Hausas household have like 4 or more generational intermarriage between them and Fulani hence the reasoning for lumping them together with the phrase "Hausa Fulani"..

Secondly, Hausa and Fulani have the highest intermarriage between them in the whole of northern Nigeria than any other tribe. For instance, my Kanuri people hardly Marry outside our tribe they maintain that tradition of marrying within the old Borno lineage. However, some Fulani from yola also maintain that inner circus of marriage they hardly marry other tribes but some do it sha


Any more question?

Thank you for helping out brother!

Openbusiness:
Again, I appreciate your contributions. I agree with your point about sharing the same geographical space, very solid point that makes sense, especially relative to my example of other southern tribes mixing up. You're very correct, they don't share same lands, so it is say easier for them to choose to be separate entities. So let me focus my observations on the North itself. Like I said before I believe you are right and everything you explained is true and correct. But I still feel there is more to this bond, I think it goes deeper than that and so far no northerners I know have been able to come up with an explanation beyond this same area you have covered. Sometimes, I feel they know more but are hiding the info, like maybe it is meant to be a secret for only hausa-fulani to know about, just an opinion though, I'm not saying that's a fact, but sometimes it feels that way. The question you may wonder is why I feel, or why do I feel there is more to this bond than is being revealed? I will answer like this, many years ago, I used to think Hausas and Fulanis were the only tribe in the North, until whether by chance or whatever, for the first and only time in my life, I dated an Hausa girl from Kaduna. Well, at first I thought she was Hausa, like because she didn't look Fulani. Because she was the fleshy type, so first time i saw her and heard her accent i thought she was hausa, cuz fulanis are usually the slender, slim types. Sorry I don't mean this as an offense or abuse. Anyway, after some months of dating, (very sweet girl, well behaved, coolheaded, respectful, submissive and stuff like that, and very very neat), she told me she wasn't actually Hausa by tribe even though she speaks Hausa. I was shocked to my bone cuz I automatically thought she was Hausa prior to her revelation. She told me she was from Kafanchan area in Kaduna but they were not Hausas, can't remember the actual tribe she said she was. And then she was like there are plenty different tribes in the North, just like we have in the south but the only difference is majority of them speak Hausa, like it is the common language, so most people think all of them are Hausas. So now back to my original question, in this case where you have many other northern tribes whom also intermarry with Hausa ands Fulani, who also share similar culture and share the same geographic location, how come it is only hausa-fulani that formed the single unit identity, why don't Northerners say Hausa-Nupe or Kanuri-fulani etc, how come it is only hausa-fulani that merge together in this way? This is the major reason I have this feeling that the bond goes beyond your explanation. I don't know, maybe it is an exaggeration on my part, but just sometimes it crosses my mind as to why that unique unity is singled out.

sorry I slept off last night

Gandollar:
Both you and the igalas are the most backward, illitrate diseased and endangered!

Enjoy your rule and destroy Nigeria!

Arguing with you about financial muscles of the two zones is useless because either way, you don't measure.

Thanks to the lifeless Sudanese and his SIP! We know the highest beneficiaries codenamed the poorest Nigerians

You are feeling funky posting pictures of your people serving all over the world, every single one of that achievement has been recorded a billion times from gbo land before you were born.

If Igboland had a politician with half the political acumen and sagacity of Buhari Igbos won't be in political and developmental wilderness they are in today.
Ordinary Deputy Speaker, you can't even win. You have resorted to be Wike's houseboys.

Gandollar:
Legendhero the almajiris you are seeing online are the future decider of your destiny according to your friend here.

Arrewa continue ruling oooooo

As long as the north remains the poorest and most backward, I'm cool with it.

see who's calling the north protest... Imagine with your small 5 eastern you're still the capital poverty of the south!

Kano alone is richer than Enugu and Ebonyi combined

Your region is underdeveloped,poor and backward...

Upon how small your region is!! In terms of development Gombe alone is better than ebony and Abia put together!

You're blaming civil war of 1967 for the backwardness and Underdevelopment hitting your region!

Gandollar:
That's what the landgrabbers from futa jalon used to attach themselves to real hausas to make Fulani look credible. Correct me if I'm wrong Arrewa.

Go to history and read about the Fulanis! No tribe ever conquered us!

We had the largest empire in Africa... We have great emperors like Usman Danfodiyo,Umar Tall and Ahmed Baba... History will never forget these emperors they're being studied in African historical literatures!

While your tribe at the other hand was colonised by the Igalas... Igalas colonize igbo land

So don't ever compare your tribe with Fulani... We are high above you!!

Gandollar:
Answer my questions above you backward slowpoke!
Still, Yorubas see you as subhumans. You see all the comments here and it breaks your heart but you take your anger out on superior Igbos!

I sighted a simple example with katsina state where the dullard hails from, but you carefully ignored it!

SE poverty capital of where? Hahahahaha!! You wish!

Take the lockdown for instance, who are those who couldn't cope and resorted to robbery and banditry to survive? Yes, those are the poorest in mind body and soul!

Globally, you know what every document says about northern Nigeria. Backward illitrate diseased and most insecure! I love this one

Your region is the poverty capital of the south!

Your region is the most backward region in Nigeria!

I have exposed many lies about the east and I will continue exposing your lies!

East will never rule this country... You won't occupy even VP...

Continue Agitating for Biafra!! You'll not get Biafra in the next 50yrs

Those Almejiris you're seeing online... They are your future public officers... They will decide on your behalf... And there's nothing you can do about that!

spendoon:
when ever we defend the north we defend it with dignity but you on the other hand I just can't say you are a disgrace to your tribe and I know your tribes men are ashmed of but I won't judge a whole tribe from the acts of a few among them this is whats killing Nigeria so change begins with me
I love north
I love south
I love east
I love west
I love Nigeria
Proudly Nigerian
proud to be brothers to igbos, Yorubas, tiv, nupe, south south people and every other tribe in the federal republic of Nigeria
if you are with me like please let shame the devil

Stop wasting your time on Tribal bigots!

Openbusiness:
Yes, please, i need more clarification. but first, let me say that i appreciate your contribution. Out of curiosity, i have asked this same questions some years back to the hausa people i knew in lagos and this your explanation is same thing they said. And the main thing or main part of the explanation is that INTERMARRIAGE thing, that you hardly see a fulani family that don't have hausa relatives and vice versa in the North. But for me, my curiosity lies in why such a bond has gotten so strong to the point that 2 distinct tribes and people now almost see themselves as a homogeneous unit. Why do i feel there might be more to it than is being covered by your first explanation is because, there are other tribes too where you have a lot of intermarriage too, for example in the deep south, igbos mix with other southern tribes a lot, and hardly it is common place to see south south tribes with igbo relatives, in the southwest, yorubas marry igbo women a lot and for the sake of cultural similarity, let me better use something like Yorubas and Edo people, or Yorubas and Urhobo people, share lots of cultural similarities and they intermarry a lot, many edo or benin families have yoruba relatives and vice versa, same thing with Urhobo but still they see themselves are heterogeneous groups, as different tribes and they don't merge their tribal identity into a single unit like you have with the hausa-fulani. So i just wonder if the bond goes beyond culture or religion, or marriage, is there some history to it or is there like a treaty of unification?

We share the same Geographically entity... If u come to kano... Fulani and Hausa's are both indigenes of the state... You'll see a fulani and Hausas from the same village...that's how it is in the whole northern states...

That's why the bond is so tight! This is not about people coming from different states. This is about people sharing the same ancestral land

jumper524:
you dey mind them.
I once created a tread on this how the North voted Obasanjo and Jonathan against baba. They changed it to religious affairs claiming it was christains in the North that voted Obj.
Well some people dumb politics has left them behind politically..
https://www.nairaland.com/5521374/why-north-may-vote-southern

I will personally campaign for Any creditable candidate the south west will present here on Nairaland!!

I will show them how to play politics...

Let them continue with their Biafra agitation!

Openbusiness:
Great post. But i have a question, please don't be offended for my asking, it is just for me to learn about the northern identity culture, i don't mean to ask for any negative reason. Why is it that people, mostly northerners lump hausa and fulani together, especially with the famous phrase you just used hausa-fulani. almost as if hausa-fulani is a single tribe. Is hausa and fulani not 2 different tribes, and are they not culturally different? why do they always get joined together like as if they are a single unit. I think that confusion too is prevalent in the south that see them as one, based largely on the info or perception fed to them by northerners. Is there something more to it, that they are thus joined and united, is there something about the why we don't know?

we of different tribe and different language... We only share similar culture and geographical location... We inter marry you hardly see a Hausa family with no fulani blood... You also hardly see a Fulani family with no Hausa blood

We see ourselves as one people... That's why most of our people use to identify as Hausafulani... Tell me if you need more clarification

Gandollar:
"We love you guys".

Take your terrorist love outta my face!

Where are you?? You don run? Come and collect more!

Gandollar:
Arrewa you are confused! The airborne death mowing northerners down must have done this to you!

You sound weak and defeated! Hahahaha..

You didn't answer my question, since the monkeys overran the car....

Hahahahaha... Abuokii will remain backward till enternity!

Igbo presidency or not, they are progressing while you regress!

Jubrin is president today, but people in katsina have never felt this unsafe under any government. Bandits, Boko Haram and Corona virus constantly beckons to them.

Yorubas still see you as subhumans anyway.

shut up!! Which of your region is progressing?
.
The east is the most backward region in Nigeria! And now the capital poverty of the south!

You guys have no future in this country!!

You'll continue wailing and kicking till eternity...

Igbos will never rule beyond the south east!

2023 we are going massively vote in a Yoruba man alongside our darling elrufai!

The backwardness and Underdevelopment hitting your region is just starting!

Gandollar:
Oh puleeeese!!!!!!!


See how fvcked Nigeria is! Are you not ashamed!

Since the monkeys overran the car have they been able to drive it forward? Nooooo!!!

Even Ghana now has more respect than Nigeria all because governance is in the firm grip of backward slowpokes.

Which day your love with Yorubas turn to kiss sef?

Even as APC brought you together, Yorubas still considers you subhumans!

They teamed up with you in politics doesn't mean they can eat with you from same dish ok.

Even here sef, apart from defending buhari for political gains, they run your arses down once you start displaying your pathological crudeness or are you denying you don't read the comments

that didn't Change the fact that igbo land is now the capital poverty of the south... The south east is almost in the same level with NE

As for presidency! Forget am! Nyamiri will never rule this country... Never and Biafra will never come!

We Wil rather support a Yoruba,Calabar, Tiv, or even foreigners than ever support Nyamiri!!

Never!!

See them.... Una Want presidency...make una come collect make we see
