How do they know its boko haram.Do they have some special suit that they wear? Anyways this is all a ploy to put fear in GEJ. The way that they are saying the "boko haram" members gave info is to unrealistic. It seems more like the northerners are planning something and using this incident as a backdrop.I believe the northern politicians are probably in the process of having GEJ killed(God forbid).If that happens, no northerner shall step foot into presidency again so they better jettison that plan now.

I can't wait till the north gets Arewa Republic.Northerners are known to turn deserts into grasslands .Anyways they can practice sharia to its highest extremity.

xterra2:
And the way the article said may "use boko haram" is it that boko haram is supported by politicians, northerners killing each other Nahh i dont think so

CIA may be using Osama who is under their protections but the Boko Haram nooooo

Of course the CIA is in on this and making the mayhem happen;however, these fools in the north are landing themselves in hot soup with all these threats to southerners because the feel as though they are Royalty or some shyt.

Reading your reply one would think you had hot Egba in your mouth,lol!, but seriously so the northerners that went for GEJ declaration went there in body only, man you can think better than that, furthermore you showed your Sagacity in understanding simple English, as I said clearly you and your Cohorts do not even understand your neighbor--the northerners-- next door yet you said I brought religion into the Discussion, man I wonder whether you read by approximation not word for word, Furthermore you showed how sincere you are, as the senate that made GEJ the acting President is only composed of Sourtherners, man I clap for your "Intelligence" , as the senate is composed of both Northern and Southern people and they Voted in Unison to make GEJ  acting President yet your Heart is so Jaundiced that all the Northerners ganged up together and furstrated GEJ till Yar'adua death,even while they where Northerners that vioced their opposition to the way the Yar'dua saga was being handled, again only a fool will think you can become president without any part of the north supporting you,yet they are many Northern gorvonors who actively Support GEJ, and other Politicians also give him their support whether it is out of their greed or not --they give him Support, you said all their Imams call Southerners infidels, is that what you grandfather told you? coz it is false as the Sultan of Sokoto Prayed behind a Yoruba Imam, if that was how  they viewd things the emir would have stayed far and again this same sultan has been in contact with kings from other parts of the country notably meeting Igwes in the south, You can believe what you want to as I have come accross men with more foolish opinion than yours, as all this deep seated hatred against

Look, All hail Arewa Republic!!!

HAH:
The truth of the matter is that the north is the stabilizing factor in present nigeria. Deep down our minds we know that the Igbo prefers the Hausa than Yoruba, Yoruba prefers Hausa than Igbo and the other southern minority will also prefer a Hausa man than other southerners.

From the above analysis if the north should secede the south will be melting pot of conflict among themselves.

Bye North dont worry about us in the south when you leave all will be in peace,including you. Yorubas have their country in the Making and so does the Igbo and minority groups. Up Up Arewa Republic may your country be realized!

@OP
your thread sir lack merit and hardly in tandem with common sense as GEJ gets a lot of support from the north even during the Yar'adua saga Northerners played a vital role in his ascension to the presidency, but like typical of the Ignorant you read loads of foolish comments with no iota of understandings as some fools think the north is Purely Muslim, no there are loads of Christians and furthermore If Northern leaders are Frustrated as such why did we see them at GEJ declaration who are backing him for the Presidency, the OP failed to understand Politics in Nigeria is more of selfishness of a few rather than service to the many. it is apity that some so called educated? individuals do not even understand the basic composition of the North, this kind of foolishness you will even find in Univesity pofessors in the south who will tell you the noth is Hausa-Fulani, it is just a pity.

Since when does the showing up of northern governors at GEJ declaration mean that they are backing him up? If that were the case then there would be no need for primaries.Its called politics. Its not a christian/muslim thing.You people in the core north make it seem that way.  And you said the north supported GEJ in the Yaradua saga? These people went through all kinds of lies and nonsense that embarrassed nigerians all over the world to try and stop GEJ from getting the presidential seat. We all know Yaradua died last year and his death was only just announced this year you greed bigots. And just like the Imams in the north they tell you that all southerners are infidels, yorubas and igbos. Look just go your way you northerners will do well.Your leaders are the ones calling for chaos not us.

Do you want them to die of hunger.

Allah will provide for them

That has to be the funniest and craziest way of calculating population!
Figures and hard political realities on the ground are far superior to maps, don't you think?
Its ok to claim though, cos it ends up neither here nor there and life goes on as fact and reality dictate.

Fair enough.

Beaf:
Urhobo.

Sorry the Urobos alone is small compared to the Igbo and even when combine with the Isoko they are still not as large as the igbos:

Beaf:
They are not, and the political reality on the ground says so. IBB played them a serious bad hand and thats what has to be resolved, not making claims that don't bear scrutiny.

Back to topic.

They are. i said "single" largest. if not then which tribe is?

Ikwikwikwi:
WE NEED EACH OTHER MY FRIEND. WE NEED A PRACTICAL FEDERALISM NOT COSMETIC SURGERY THAT WILL DISSECT AND WEAKEN US. THERE IS A GREATER STRENGTH WHEN WE ARE TOGETHER. THE NORTH IS NOT THE PROBLEM. [color=#006600][b][/b][/color]

Ok, what does the East need from the North? what does the West need from the North? And how would they be weakened if they went their own way?

Ikwikwikwi:
THERE IS A GREATER STRENGTH WHEN WE ARE TOGETHER. OUR FATHERS FOUGHT TO KEEP US AS ONE, SO WHY WOULD ANY ONE WISH FOR A SEPARATED NIGERIA. I STILL SEE A BRIGHTER LIGHT IN OUR UNITY, MAY BE IN THE TIME OF OUR CHILDREN, THE LIGHT WILL SHINE BETTER, THAT IS THE DREAM OF OUR FATHERS. NORTH, SOUTH, EAST OR WEST, WE NEED EACH OTHER, AND WILL CONTINUE TO CO EXIST. WE SHOULD WORK TO PROMOTE WHAT WILL KEEP US TOGETHER THAN WHAT WILL MAKE US TO GET SEPARATED, JUST LIKE THIS POST.

May your fathers fought to keep Nigeria together so that a few elites can enjoy but Igbo,Ibibios, and so Ijaws fought to go their own way. Our fathers never had that dream that you talk about. The is a greater strength when we are together as Africans but not nigerians. As African brothers we can have our own countries and trade with each  other and live in peace without fighting over who owns what.

dappssee:
With true federalism, the north can practise whatever religion they like. If you move from one state to the other in the United States, it will almost seem as if you are in a different country. That is what I mean by federalism. If southerners still feel comfortable living in the north, they can stay but if not, they can move back to their states.

Already the north claimed federalism when introducing sharia. Is the north not almost completely islamatized with the introduction of sharia.

Breaking will not check the problem but bring it to the fore as you will find minority tribes screaming 'marginalization'. I believe in true federalism. The states control their resources and systems of governance.

And how does the country staying together,federalism or not stop the minority tribes from screaming 'marginalization'? In delta state alone the igbos are the single largest tribe amongst various tribes, the same goes for the yorubas with kwara,the idoma with benue,etc.

Nigeria staying together will just continue to be a tug of war for resources. Federalism is not the answer.It'll still never work especially since the same elites will be in the same positions as now.

dappssee:
@Chy: You dont seem to understand the point. When we all go our separate ways, we will still have the units fighting. True federalism means the centre will be weak and unattractive while the states control their resources.

I believe the north has more long term potentials than the south but the fact that they will get some allocation from the FG at the end of each month will make them and infact every other region lazy and less enterprising.

Lagos can survive without FG's allocation. How many states can do that?


I think we should apply the onshore - offshore dichotomy for deep water oil wells and leave the states to control the wells and other resources within their boundaries.

The North wants all out islamic rule so can federalism help them receive that? No. Can them going their own way give them that?Yes. You talk about the fighting between small groups, its not even major and once they get their own autonomy it will calm down.Also with other various tribes fighting,nigeria cant even prevent that because its to many tribes so the smart thing would be to break apart and those problems can be easier checked. And since you say the north has more long term potential than let them go their way.

dappssee:
I dont think dividing the country will solve our problems. What about the Ijaws/Itsekiri crisis, the Ife/Modakeke crisis. We have over 200 ethnic groups in Nigeria. Does it mean we must have over 200 nations. Even at that, there will still be crises.

[size=16pt]I think true federation, where every state controls its resources and the centre is weak and unattractive will be the solution to our problems. [/size]

Whats the point of federalism when everybody can go their way and sustain themselves? If they become their own countries and trade with each other,is that not better?

Kobojunkie:
uumm . . . again, you are LYING  . . telling me I am not igbo will not change that. Majority of Ibos both in Iboland and outside DO NOT THINK AS YOU DO. Hence your claim that your personal view there is shared by the majority is nothing but falsehood.

Stop damaging the image of Ibos by spreading ridiculous lies based on your delusions. Ibos are strong, independent thinkers who actually use their heads, and are not paranoid schizophrenic hateful warmongers like you and your ilk like to portray them all.

Stop trying to act like you care about we Igbos.Its flat out majority of us as of now are for GEJ. I do accept the compliment and you telling the beautiful truth about the igbos "strong, independent thinkers who actually use their heads, and are not paranoid schizophrenic hateful warmongers" but this the thread below shows you dont like Igbos:

Aigbofa:
You got it wrong brother! Biafra was a Nigerian affair and I can comment on it all I want. If we live in the same apartment building and you decide to set your own unit on fire, it becomes our problem.

Good. so then you just agreed with me that the story shall be told.

Ileke-IdI:
chyz, you couldnt have created a thread?

If you do, trust me, I have some nice Igbo cultural videos I'll post BTW, you guys know how to dance!

Take a second look

Kobojunkie:

Ileke-IdI:

Do we get school/work off on Igbo day?
Do we do a class project on Igbo day?

What exactly do we do? I wouldnt mind o, as long as everything is 80% off sale. Hallelujah!!!

You get the say excitement that you have on the useless christmas holiday so come out.

MaziUche0:
I wish my Aro brother Udezue would come to reason. His rabid hatred for the North is quite interesting. Yet, he does not show this same vitrol at our own brothers who betrayed us and the Yoruba.

Uche, Udezue is right in all ramifications. Before i start i want to say, who gives a damn about the betrayal of the yorubas. Also ive come to the conclusion that IBB doesnt give a damn about the Igbos,if he did he would have come out i told the North that if they keep giving threats of chaos that he would pull out of the presidential race completely. however, hes not going to do that because he doesnt care about igbos or any other southerner and all of the threats are to his advantage whether they are carried out or not. They see us, the middlebelt, and the west as their bytches that they will whip in line if we dont do what they say. Im convinced now that GEJ based on whats happening now is our best bet.

bk.babe97y:
Ifeajuna was Chinese, Nzeogwu was Hausa!

I'm glad you agree.

bk.babe97y:
Soon, real soon, u'll spit my hairy nuts from your saliva filled mouth! Am I supposed to know the difference between yalls tribes? Outside of the Yourbas, Ibos, Hausas (and now) the Niger Delta people/Ijaws, I couldnt mention another tribe off the top to save my life (which is more precious than the wretched one u live). But, anyways, take a hike. . . . . . .

Learn your history about Edo its not just some tribe dummy. Does the [size=13pt]Benin Empire[/size] ring a bell fool?.

Kobojunkie:
Seriously what is Ibo day? The day Ibo people were discovered? The day the language was first used? What ?? The day the people first gained an identity for themselves? 

Come out September 29th and find out . Either way, we still got it so LOL

bk.babe97y:
Nice to see your characterization of Nzeogwu. . . . Nzeogwu is this maniac . . . .  but what was Ifeajuna?! This tells a lot about you, you know?


You dont believe an educated [/b]Okpara would scheme with Coup Plotters,but,[b] I bet u agree with your brothers on here that a similarly educated Mr M.K.O Abiola often colluded with rogue Army officers, and was involved in EVERY coup that ever happened in Nigeria?!

Man, talk about double standards!

He's not Igbo,he's is Edo dummy. He it from the mouth of a non-igbo or yoruba

Ileke-IdI:
I prefer "Biafran Day" or "Nigerian civil war day". I thought Biafra wasnt just about the Igbos? Abi, why the Igbo day?

And I want my Ekiti Day too.
KoboJ, bawo ni nau?

Hey na God make'am Igbo Day


Now im starting to see why other yorubas envy y'all, none of your people love themsellves more than the ekitis
