@auwal87

theres nothing like emir of wukari,theres a aku of wukari who lords over the jukun people.

THE TIVS ARE RULED BY THE TOR TIV AND THE IDOMAS BY THE OCHI IDOMA! THERE ARE NO EMIRS IN BENUE (AND CAN NEVER BE!)

Well you are trying to tell people that SARKI of KANO is also not an EMIR. For GOD sake what is the TOR of TIV (Emir of TIV, or King of TIV), or the OCHI of IDOMA, it is all the same, all means EMIR, all means KING. Okay, also tell People that there are no Emirates in Benue and Taraba. Man, do your Assignments before coming up with conclusions okay.

bawomolo:
what makes u think there is unity in the North, u still haven't said what the north would do with the tivs, idoma, jukun, nupe etc??

North is United, and will remain United for ever, have you ever heard any Nupe, Tiv, Idoma, or Jukun, come up with any thing that shows a sign of being a separatist from the North. For GOD sake, our Flag is One, and check this out.

Haven't you see the beauty of our Unity above, culture difference is very very little.

Also, NOTE that this is the UNITY of EMIRATES, most of these Emirs are cousins and brothers, so are you thinking that the Wukari Emirate will rather join the Yoruba People or the Bida Emirate join the Igbo People, NO, It is not Possible. WE ARE ONE PEOPLE WITH ONE VOICE. By the Way, any EMIRATE is FREE to Join anywhere they like, no Force.

Dividing Nigeria will not make any appreciable impact till the fundamental issues has been addressed.(accountability and etc) im not too border about your wonder map[/b]. we cannot be deceive by these fanatics in here,

Please let us have the fundamental issues, and your own everlasting possible solution to our current problems. Do you want to kill all the Northerners and then claim the North as yours? Or do you want the Northerners to kill all the Southerners and claim the South as yours.

The most Justifiable and Workable solution is to divide. Since this Post started, have you seen any Post that have the Justifiable and Workable Solution? Division IS the ONLY solution to our Problems.

NB: God did NOT say NIGERIA must EXIST! But the BRITISH say SO. Also, God did NOT named NIGERIA, it is one WOMAN that named the Country, old Papas said she was a Bitch. Anyway, the British have made their mistakes and Go, now we are the ones to correct the Mistakes, and re-claim our Freedom to exist Independently. Or, are you waiting for the British to come back and Separate us? Well. they can only come back to further destroy the country and take the Oil they always wanted. Open your EYES, Do not be illussioned with North and South Unity Stuffs, It is a FRAUD, It will never WORK.

The Flying Flag of the United Emirates of Arewa

https://bubblester.com/uploads_group/1000/3/animaflag.gif

This is one of the kind of cities we will build in Arewa

https://bubblester.com/uploads_group/1000/3/arewaemiratescity.jpg

https://bubblester.com/uploads_group/1000/3/waving2.gif

What ever the Population is, Big or Small, it will not stop Arewa, Odua, and Biafra to part their ways, these and more arguments are the things that lead it to become very necessary for the Niger-area to divide. Do you think the Country will forever remain in arguments, one dirty day will come when the Southerners or the Niger Delta Militants will start attacking Arewa, while Arewa remains un-prepared for the worst, we will suffer a lot more than even the Niger Delta People are suffering now.

Population will not stop us from becoming Independent, that is; a country with population of as low as 100,000 can become independent. Let us prepare for Worst, for all those that thinks Arewa is far less less in Population than the South. It is quite an advantage for us, because we will have a balanced share of resource revenue among Citizens, and the Economy will perform better with less population. E.g. Dubai, (United Arab Emirates) the Population of their Citizens is less than 6 Million, or Qatar with a Population of 1.5 Million. But look at their Economy, please isn't less Population an Advantage to every country. I know some of you will talk of Sea, Oil, etc, okay how about Luxembourg a Landlocked Country with a Population of only 500,000, and surviving with Rubber as their major Raw Material and Farming but Pride with a Per capita of more than $80,000, or take Switzerland also a Landlocked Country with a Population of only 8 Million with a Per capita of more than $35,000. You see, this is the real issue, all what is needed is the Manager, if we have good Rulers that will take care of our Countries, nothing will stop us from getting a Per capita more than that.

Do you know how much the Per Capita of Nigeria is? It is really Sad, it is only $1,500, imagine please. In my own Assignment I estimated the Economy of Biafra will reach a Per Capita of more than $10,000 in the first month of becoming Independent, Yes, more than $10,000. That of Odua region will become up to $8,000 in the first month, but for Arewa, the result is from $4,000 to $6,000, depending on the situation and agreements made for the use of Sea ports of Odua, Biafra, Cameroon, and Benin.

This my Calculations will seem confusing to some people, but I am writing a Comprehensive article with clear estimations and how I came about with the results, and it will be published in one of the Nigerian Dailies very soon. I will post it also on Nairaland also.

Cheers all!

Should all be mindful when talking about Arewa's Economy, you have to do your Research before coming up with a Judgement. Arewa has Gold reserves in so many areas, including Kano. Yes, Kano. For more information, check this out http://www.rmrdc.gov.ng/MineralRawMaterials/Gold.htm.

Arewa can support itself with the vast number of Solid Minerals we have. We do not need Oil to survive. Resources are abundant all over the Niger area (aka Nigeria). North, South-West, South-East, South-South, all have abundant Resources, but because of the Oil Wealth and its high demand, all the other Minerals have been neglected, which is very very very wrong.

By the Grace of God, Arewa, Odua, Biafra, will become great Countries in the world, if divided. It is our own so-called Political Leaders that are enjoying the Oil Commissions every day that are always against this notion, else, we would have been separate since.

BUSHFELLOW:
what have we archieved with the Unity other than every one fighting for the national cake for his own interest not the collective interest of his people. so for me i think breaking up will be the best this will help every one tap their own human and natural resources for survivor not dependining solely on what comes from niger delta.

I totally agree with you.

bilymuse:
Arewa project is a poverty project.

What ever, but at least we have peace, you will not blame the Northerners for your own Poverty.

@ bashali

I believe the IGBOS will love to see us apart more than even the YORUBAS will. The think tank of 2 countries is not a possibility, likewise, it will drive more chaos to the region. The Peaceful Solution is to unite the Northern Leaders to agree on the AREWA PROJECT. I know down there in the SOUTH, they do not have problem, SINCE 99.99% of them always said, they do not need ANYTHING from us, so it will be easier for them to accept the Division Project.

But the main problem lies from the NORTHERN LEADERS, who are always not Satisfied with the wealth they have, they are always hungry of Oil, we must do something to them to make the AREWA PROJECT, a reality. My Plans are;

Let us collaborate with Oil Drilling Companies like Shell to make a fake report that there is huge deposit of Oil in the North. I am very sure those Oil Hungry People will not like to share the Oil from North with the Southerners, and they will quickly accept our AREWA PROJECT.

The Game has already begin, Uniting all the Emirs is not a problem, but we have to be very logical in presenting this AREWA PROJECT to them, we have to find out the very best part of becoming separate from South West and South East Regions and show it to them.

The National Flag of Arewa

@ bawomolo

We don't care, they are welcome to go their own separate ways, even if they like Abuja, let them take it. What we are all after is Peace, and later if they want to Join, we are ready to accept them.

More coming soon

Well well, I have so many friends from the South South, South East, and South West, not 1 or 10, but in I know many. Magazines? I read them sometimes, but I prefer to see things with my own eyes, do you know how many times I have been to the Niger Delta? Cannot count, may be you have never been there, or how many times I have been to Oshodi, or PH. I have been to so many places in the South, but the story is all the same, Nigeria where ever you go is all the same.

What are you trying to figure out, I am a Kid? or What? Well, Yes, I am a Kid, that is what dumbs always think, Kids cannot do anything, so they are kept aside. Well, in this case, Kids I mean Youths!

Auwal for a 21 year old girl, i don't know what to say. Tried and make more friends, especially those from the south. Also try and read more magazines (times, economists etc) maybe, just may be u ,

kindly stop embarrashing the north with your posts. Libya could have been a better model.

It is because some People are trying to claim that Arewa will suffer like Niger, I am trying to show them the other sides of Niger, what they are enjoying, every country in the world have its own Problem, but why Blaming each other for the whole Country's problem. Why blaim Arewa for the Problem of all Nigeria? Libya has developed over the years, this is the kind of things you will see now in Libya.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/12/Tripoli_Central_Business_District.jpg/800px-Tripoli_Central_Business_District.jpg

Check it out, it is only 2,500 Kms from Tripoli to Kano, and Kano is about 1,000 Kms away from Lagos. Tripoli is the Capital of Libya, and it is just beside the Sea.

The North to Suffer

The West to Suffer

The East to Suffer

All is not the Problem of each other, in as much as no ONE is blaming Each Other. We do not want our Children to grow up with this kind of Hate against each, let us end it from here. Now for Example, is Niger Republic Blaming Nigeria for its Poverty? No! But Now in Nigeria, All Southerners are Blaming the North for what is happening in the country Now. For God Sake, For our own Term "Divided we Stand, United we Fall"

Starvation in Niger Republic

Drought and plagues of locusts have caused severe food shortages in Niger, one of the poorest countries in the world. Aid agencies have warned that 3.6 million people could be affected. Visiting Niger, David Loyn reflects on whether part of the blame could lie with the foreign policy of other countries.

Please stop insulting Nigeria. Comparing us in anyway to Niger Republic is nothing short of an insult.

How can I insult Niger with the country that don't even exist, if you continue to rely your claims on those BBC, CNN, News you will for ever remain in Total Darkness, get the news from real people that are looking for the truth to tell, Niger is a thriving economy, few years back, they caught off the electricity being transported to them from Nigeria, and now they have constant 24/7 Electricity in their country.

Dangote group is today a testimony of the celebration of corruption and nepotism.

Yes, I agree with you, and look at what I said just below the quote you made;

Many People don't like Dangote in Arewa because he is doing basically nothing to improve the Lives of even his own relatives as people are saying. I don't know though, but we cannot count on one person as the success of Arewa. Dangote is also behind so many monopolistic changes made by Obasanjo to further enrich his Business by banning the Importation of some particular products which he produce, further increasing the prices of those products and making his business more profitable.

Niger Republic is not a failed Nation, but a sufferer of Artificial Poverty created by few people.

If you don't know Niger Republic have its own National Carrier with 150 Planes now (Nigeria does not have even ONE now with the so called OIL), See for your Eyes down here,

If Arewa will fail, then Niger republic would have failed since. When I said, Niger Republic, see what I am talking about;

Every State should rule itself.

Division will not be the answer

I like your Point, then we become the United States of Nigeria or what, but the problem is still there, president from the North or East or West is still hanging around, we want to totally become Independent, so that no one will keep blaming another one.

DRANOEL:
most of you guys are lousy economist,if the country should break up today the part that will be most affected is the west! and you know why? without oil lagos will collapse and the effect of this collapse will be heart breaking. our economy is 90% dependent on oil which means most people are in lagos are there for economic gains,in the advent of a break up,port harchout will assume this status and most companies currently in lagos will now shift to port including banks etc. taxes which  some might want you to believe will sustain lagos will also become a port harchout thing, the ports in lagos will experience little traffic as all will be focused on port harchout(remember benin republic survives solely on nigeria's economy). the west will be faced with a huge task to maintain lagos infrastructure where as the others will be building on what they have. it is not the north that will suffer but the west

The most Important thing is to get things done, it is an evidence that most of those people thinking that Northern Nigeria is economically a failed Nation need to re-think. Because, Northern Nigeria has the highest number of Metallic and Non-Metallic Materials apart from Agricultural Products. Imagine the Import Duty of Cement Materials like Limestone and Gypsum from Arewa to Biafra or Oduduwa. Every Nation needs to Improve its infrastructure in order to become developed.

To those people who always quote Beggars from North, it is one of the biggest Problems the North is facing now, and efforts are always been made to Combat these Begging Problem, and let me remind you that Islam Does not Permit Begging but Islam Encourages Charity, So the Beggars are benefitting from the Charitable behaviour of the Northern People, that is why you see People from Mali, Niger, Chad, and many parts of Nigeria coming to become Beggars especially in Kano. Because the people compete in giving Charity.

So, with a Proper planning, Begging can be stopped in a day.

[quote author=$$Rhino link=topic=171179.msg2814993#msg2814993 date=1221662103]Do all the Oil belts sef enjoy all the good stuff, theya re with most of the unemployment rate in Nigeria, but then, they are mostly employed now with kidnapping and ransom demands.
Infact, i think they should be allowed to break away and let us see how long it will take for them to last.[/quote]You are Correct, when ever I see the kind of suffering the people of Niger Delta are having, I nearly cry with tears, because I know more than 60% of those suffering are blaming us Northerners for the suffering, while we are also suffering, so it is highly desirable to let the People either have 100% control of their resources or separate from the other parts of the country to become Independent. This will bring an end to the blame on Northerners for their suffering.

I think Diplomacy will lead to their Independence, but with Violence, we are not going anywhere, because there are some people benefiting hugely from the Violence, they will not like the Violence to end, they like the Violence to exist for ever in the region, because they are benefiting.

I have been following the discussions on this topic up to this point.

To those who think that Non-Oil Producing Countries like Arewa will not survive if it becomes Independent. I would like to remind them that even though with the Oil in the Niger Area, what benefit is it bringing to the Poor People called Nigerians? Basically Nothing, because we are still not enjoying Free Health care, Free Education, Good Roads, Stable Electricity, Nothing. Amidst, only the so called Nigerian Leaders and their gangs are enjoying the Oil Money.

Do you know that Kano State alone is generating 1.2 Billion Naira Monthly on Local Revenue alone?

[quote author=$$Rhino link=topic=171179.msg2801557#msg2801557 date=1221423614]Kano will want to break away from Bauchi,[/quote]I think Arewa (comprising 19 states now) will not even attempt to break up because they are already united as the emirates of Arewa (North). There is no single movement anywhere in Arewa that is claiming for Independence. Even if that happens, it is between the Arewa emirates only, we will not blame the Yoruba or Igbo for that. What is the case of being in unity in as much as Culture differs, this is a total waste of time, energy, and resources.

Let us wake up! Unite your group and live in peace with other groups, that's it. Let's stop looking for solutions that would never work, this is the ONLY solution for the peace of all of us.

If we keep remembering what happens in the Past, we will never have a greater future, we have to abandon all what happens in the past and face the future.

You talk as if nigeria is made up of only three ethnic groups, hisssssss

If all the Nigerian ethnic groups are looking for their own Independence, let them have it. Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba, are the 3 Major ethnic groups in the country, and it is with this three that Power Sharing, Revenue, and the rest of issues are being hassled about. It should be the right of every ethnic group to have their own ruler forcing a particular group to join another ethnic group is a devilish act brought by the Europeans to Africa. I support any ethnic group to have their own country. It is their choice to let another group rule them,

@Poster
From what is being posted here, we don't need a pastor or native doctor to tell us how the future will be.
I see no end in sight if we continue being one Nigeria. As we say in Military arena "a conscript will always fight like a conscript"

We are being forced to be United for the benefit of some few.

Unity is a term that is supposed to mean Peace as well, but in Nigeria this unity has brought so many troubles, killings, murders, etc etc, Which if this Unity of H & I & Y wasn't brought we would have been living in peace now. The so called Nigerian unity is perfectly a tool used by the british to make Nigeria a vulnerable war junction in the future. We need to tarnish this plan, separate, and make our long lasting peace,

QuotaSyste:
Everyone knows that as things are right now in the cage called nigeria, it will benefit all the different groups to go their separate ways as that will encourage competition amongst the various new created countries vying for who will be better than the other to prove "didn't we told you"

Yes!, That is what I want our people to understand, we will have a great future if we are separate, because we will be competing with each other to be more developed than the other, and in this way, everyone will be at least better than the present state, and no one will blame each one. The future will be better if we are separate living peacefully alongside each other.

Republic of Biafra - http://www. - Gigantic Movement for the Independence of an Igbo Country

Republic of Oduduwa - http://www.geocities.com/yorubacountry/history.html - Slight Movement for the Independence of a Yoruba Country

Arewa Emirates - Nothing


Unity of Nigeria is not going to work, and I am just sighting a very bloody future if Nigeria is not divided now, anything can happen in the future, If the said unity is there, issues of power sharing, revenue allocation, will not rise.

I am from the North, but I heard that northern leaders are meeting in case 'Yar adua die, the election should be cancel to avoid Goodluck becoming the President, I am really Sad to hear this, and this should not continue like this,  I think all major Nigerian ethnic groups (Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo) should each rule their people,  I'm afraid of Nigeria's future if action is not taken now.
