People are saying Fubara outsmarted Wike. This was a move he should have made immediately after his beef began his Wike. If he had done this earlier, there is no way he would have been suspended. I wonder why he didn’t see this on time. Never too late though.

He should have made this political move a day after his beef started with Wike. A bit late, but better late than never.

If you believe anything that comes from the blanket-on-the head hypocritical Sultan, then I have bridge to sell you. Where was the slowpoke when Deborah was burned alive under the guise of Sharia? Where was his voice when Christian-owned alcohol business were being destroyed in the North? Where was he when Christian were being persecuted in his territory?
The Fulani are the most cunning and manipulative people in Nigeria. Their only mission is to kill, loot, and conquer the indigenous peoples of Nigeria. When will the rest of the country realize this?

Protecting the sub Saharan christians from fundamental islamists is an ingenious way of protecting Americans, because if west Africa is turned into an Islamic wasteland like somalia and the Horn of Africa region, it would directly affect the America eastern seaboard due to the one single ocean separating West Africa and America. Therefore the best strategy is to roll back rabid Islamic influence in the region before America has a taleban Afghanistan right next door in Africa. With the advent of drones, America doesn't have to send boots on ground, just a squadron of Reaper and Predator drones can


triangulate and exterminate bogies at critical flashpoints especially in the region of North Central Nigeria and Sahelian West Africa..

I agree with you that it’s in US interest to fend off terrorism in Nigeria, but I disagree with your premise. If it’s based on geography, the US is far removed from Nigeria. The Atlantic Ocean that separates us is huuuge. If you look at the map, the Senegalese coast is even closer to them than Lagos. It’s not as if we share land borders with the US like Mexico. Moreover, the hothead of terrorism in Nigeria is far removed from the Atlantic coasts (in the South West and South East of Nigeria).
The reason for US involvement is not geographical proximity, but geopolitics and geoeconomics.

This man is a terrorist sympathizer and part of the broad Fulani scheme to dominate and conquer Christians in the Middle Belt and Southern Nigeria. How can we forget so soon? In a sane society, he should be under investigation for his role in the Christian genocide in Southern Kaduna and the importation of foreign Fulani mercenaries to torment and terrorize the nation. This man is evil. He may be a harmless looking midget, but his capacity for evil and the hate he bears in his heart towards “Christian heathens” is beyond words.

if you use the hausa influence to count, they are. Any place that takes Hausa language as lingua is consideted north. Sokoto, Kebbi, Kano, Kaduna, Kogi, Katsina, Kwara, Niger, Jigawa, Bauchi, Gombe, Yobe, Borno, Adamawa, Taraba, Benue, Nasarawa, Plateau,

Kogi. Benue. Kwara. DO NOT speak Hausa. The name “Kogi” was imposed by Northern imperialists, using the northern military, to give the false impression that the region is Hausa.
Also, large swaths of Nasarrawa do not speaks Hausa.

Geographically and culturally speaking, Northern states are not up to 16.

What is your definition of integration please?

In this context, it means not being reclusive and being intentional about interacting with the rest of the country on the basis of mutual respect, not seeing the rest of the country as sinful heathens. Understanding that humor and self deprecation is a way of life in the Middle Belt and South. We yab each other on a normal level in Nigeria. Yabbjng is a way of life. They should quit being snow flakes

Why are these Northerners so sensitive? What don’t they get about southern satire and humor? They are so scared of being called out and when they are called out, they resort to threats, insults, and violence. They are so different from the rest of the country and do not feel the need to integrate. They should just go and form their little Islamic republic and leave the rest of us alone.

This is a rich source of protein and it’s very delicious when deep fried! We used to hunt it as kids, and it’s usually available in the rainy season, especially July and August. If you start cricket farming in Naija, you will make a killing.

Nigerians are so shallow. A lot is at play in this confrontation. Let me break it down in simple terms:
a) The Military officer(s) are/were in the wrong. Regardless of how you feel about Wike, the officer should produce the documents of the land. This officer clearly thinks that he and his Oga are above civilian officials. Also, he was clearly disdainful to the police officer, a law enforcement officer of the Nigerian state. If you think our politicians are arrogant and disdainful towards us, the military is ten times worse. This young officer showed the arrogance of the military towards law and order and towards civilian authorities,

b) There is the subtle North-South dynamics at play here. I can bet my liver that if this FCT minister were El-Rufai or Bala Muhammed or Muhammed Bello, this officer of Northern extraction would not have been this openly defiant towards him. He would have said "Rankadede."
The fact is Northerners think they are superior to the rest of the country, especially Christians, and they can't stand an assertive and effective Christian politician like Wike. This officer is clearly expressing the sentiments of the Muslim North, who think that FCT ministry is their birthright, and who are still agrieved that Tinubu chose Wike, a Christian Southerner, as the FCT minister.

I am not a fan of Wike, but it's good we see the dynamics at play in this interaction

Caseless:
You're even truncating your own line of thought.

In one fold, they're culturally and linguistically Igala, in another, they're not.

Don't understand what you're saying. have a question for you: Will you call an igbo man born and raised in Kano, who speaks fluent Hausa, a Hausa man? He is even closer to being a Hausa (cos he speaks and understands Hausa) than the Angwa residents in Igala land. These people are culturally and linguistically Igalas. THEY NEITHER SPEAK NOR UNDERSTAND HAUSA.

Caseless:
Hausa is a lingua franca in kogi cos some of its citizens are Hausa. "Kogi" is a hausa word. "Lokoja" is a Hausa word. Angwa in Ankpa is a Hausa word and populated by Hausa/Igalas. You have such places in Idah and Dekina too.

“Kogi” is a hausa word imposed by the military when the state was created. It’s a way of creating the false intention that it’s a Hausa or Northern Territory. No indigneous Kogi tribe speaks Hausa. The lingual Franca of Kogi is pidgin and of course, our respective mother tongues (which is not Hausa). Also, the fact that Hausas came to settle in Angwa does not make them indigenous. In fact, their came to ancestors settle in those enclaves , but their descendants don’t speak or understand Hausa an Angwa—either in Idah or Ankpa. They are a tiny minority, who have become culturally and linguistically igalas. They can’t even speak Hausa. Will you call the Igbos that settled in Sabon Gari in Kano natives?

You see the Nigerian government arguing against sanctioning Miyetti Allah, which is a known terrorist organization. This tells you all you need to know. The Nigerian government is aiding and abetting Fulani terrorists and jihadists

Kushites:
Hot air.

BRING YOUR ARMY.

We'll use them to roast suya here.

Ajebota army that couldn't defeat common Taliban after 30 years of war, but it is Sambisa forest you will close in one day.

Come nau, make we see....

You have to be naive to think the US will put boots on the ground. They have satellites, they see all your fellow jihadists and terroists. they observe all your movements from afar. They'd take them out with a drone, one by one or in groups. Jihadist pigs

If you believe a few tweets from these avowed Islamic extremists claiming to support the “killing of terrorists,”then I have a bridge to sell you. We’ve seen enough of these guys over the years to know that they are truly in support of the killing of “infidels” in Nigeria.
They are probably tweeting support for US action to save themselves in case the US actually comes looking for the supporters of Christian genocide in Nigeria. They and the Fulani elites in Nigeria should be too on the list

You'd be dishonorably discharged.

Who is “ our” . God punish the Brits for making us share a country with people like Gumi

This man’s lack of integrity and fickleness is stunning. This senile man tore up his Greencard on live TV for spectacle and vowed never to return to the US again as long as Trump is in power. Why is he applying for a visitor visa since Trump is still in power? Soyinka has disgraced himself in Nigeria. Many Nigerians of integrity have zero respect for him. I have nothing but disdain for him. He is finally disgracing himself on the international stage.

This Senile man with a complete lack of integrity and morals has finally disgraced himself on the international scene. You destroyed your green card and vowed to not return to Us again, even international media carried the news at the time. Why are you applying for a Us visitor visa? Why are you disturbing us? Are you not ashamed of yourself?
Stay in Nigeria and keep eating yuur corn.

by that logic, there should not be anything called "south-south" as it does not exist anywhere on the 4 cardinal points.

Igala is the only tribe that you find in the north, SW(Isale Eko or by closeness to Yoruba), South-south(Delta, Edo and it's related to the Itsekiri) and in the southeastern part where you have them in Enugu, Anambra, etc.

Go to places like Ankpa, Idah, Olamaboro, Dekina, etc, you'll see people who are originally hausa but are now Igala today - they came and settled there(we all came from somewhere). Kogi is extensively diversed, and most bordered state in Nigeria, expect her to have northern and southern traits. Ankpa is closer to Kaduna than Adamawa. Plateau is north central(MB) and it's not close to any southern state. Northwest is close to SW if the road is completely linked.

A Hausa man that came to settle in Ankpa is not an Igala man. That buttresses my point that Hausas are migrants and not natives in Kogi. Would you say Igbos born in Kano or Lagos and doing business there are Hausas or Yorubas? Unlike in most Northern states, where Hausa is widely spoken, even by non-Hausas, Hausa is not a lingua Franca in Kogi.
Yes, there is nothing like South-South. It’s still that divisive aberration, to shrink the size of the South East.

Judolisco:
oga I asked a question and you're not answering... Even people in the northwest and North East not all of them are hausa or fulani....... That you're a Northerner doesn't make you hausa or fulani......politically kogi is north Central.... Go and learn your geographical regions very well... It's primary sch work

Such ignorance! The concept of north central is a new term supported by people like you, who want to give the false impression of a gigantic north. Kogi is in the middle belt. Politically, culturally, linguistically, and geographically, Kogi is not aligned with the North. Kogi borders more Southern states. Kogi does not want to have anything to do with the North. Igala language is related to the Yoruba language. The Okuns of Kogi West are Yoruba. The Bassas are related to the Igalas. The Igbos in Kogi are related to the South Easterners. Kogi doesn’t want to have anything to do with Fulani oligarchy

Devil cites scripture for his purpose

Judolisco:
who told you that every northerner is hausa or fulani?

Kogi is not in the North, neither politically, linguistically, geographically nor ideologically. Is it by force to be in the North?
Kogi is closer geographically and ideologically to the South. Kogi is MIDDLE BELT. Kogi has nothing to do with the Fulani Oligarchy the north.

iwaeda:
Normal in Africa to waste institutional knowledge and resources for personal gain. That is why most times developed countries, the next in line know themselves, just like Olubadan's system .

which institutional knowledge? Fulani officers promoted indiscriminately by Buhari and the North? Those guys, with their pot-bellies are hardly qualified. We must release the army from the grip of Fulani jihadists.

He proudly AN IGALA from the MIDDLE BELT. KOGI IS NOT NORTH!
Kogi does not speak HAUSA and there NO indigenous HAUSAS in the whole of KOGI. KOGI IS NOT NORTH!

When did the motto of the Nigerian army change to Arabic and who made it the jihad slogan of Ottman Dan Fodio?
The Fulani-jihadists have really held us by the throat in this country. No wonder they have always believed Nigeria belongs to them.

Ghana, the perpetual backstabbers, already sold out their West African neighbors in a similar deal with the US. The same Ghana went to report their Neigbor, Burkina Faso, to the United States during the last administration.

Hope the code will be a key combination that can help opened from inside and outside. Such that the other pilot can’t be locked out. And I hope the chief flight attendant also has the combination.
