If wishes were horses.....
All you have ignored the main problem and are chasing fantasies.
Our problem is not because we are different or because we are more than 300 ethnic groups religion or whatever. It's simply because most of those who find themselves in leadership positions mischievously use religion and ethnicity to cause acrimony and in the ensuing confusion get away with their looting and atrocities.
Even if you have regional governments with a central parliament, there always going to be FFKs fault every policy based on religion or ethnicity once they are not getting what they want.
Left for me I'd support total balkanization of the country, because it's always my tribe and region that's being blackmailed as the cause of all of our problems.

Lexus Copycats
I'm not impressed!

Madam Toyota owns Lexus.

Toyota really lost it when it comes to these new design Camrys. No wonder it sat at the bottom on rankings. Honda has been more creative and consistent with the Accord.

Lol! the unity begging continues! Let's divide it into five if you like! I stand with KDD.

It sucks to be short!

This is a better opportunity for you to discuss with God am very sure he still answers prayers

But he forsook Jesus!

Omoluabi16:
forget the title and maybe the first 500 pages, the subsequent pages has been quite informative. no infighting amongst nationalities. I've learned a thing or 2 there. maybe tonyebarcanista can edit it? that thread doesn't look like dying any time soon.

Well the title alone is an eyesore to me, and for that thread alone I disliked the author, mods and even NL itself.
I don't care what they discuss, am not opening the thread.

Unity begging in progress. Abeg someone help with that latest WIKE meme.

dalaman:
His mum is from Kano while his dad is from Turkey. His elder brother is a very close friend of mine.

That's saying the same thing his dad being a Turk automatically qualified him as Turk as well.
All the same we are proud of him.

Slanza:
And??

And am proud of him.

sayentease:
Why is he standing beside a Turkish flag then?


OP.. Be like say Evans don kidnap your brain join..
It is only good things you like to claim. He's a turk


Don't be decieved by his name. Turks are Moslems.

He's half Turk half Nigerian. He grew up on Kano and am not even sure he understands Turkish. He was my Junior in Secondary school.

Wow that's my Junior in secondary school.

Thank you flexisafsupport please may we know how many questions are in each section and the marks they carry so that we know where to direct moat of our energy?
That's if it's not too much to ask.

Lie lie! Dole a raba. #KD Declaration

I love Discoveries, but from this dinosaur ish down to evolution theory is what I don't buy.

Nowenuse:
People from Southern Gombe, Southern Kaduna, Adamawa and Taraba are usually tag along middlebelt struggle because they are northern minorities too just as the people of the north-central are.

Before states and geo-political zones were created, middlebelt was all encompassing of all northern minorities whether Zuru from present day Kebbi state or Marghi from present day Borno state.
As long as you were not Hausa-fulani-Kanuri, you were regarded part of the middlebelt as a northern minority.

Does that make sense to you?
Anyway I hope you are formulating how to make up your own country with this random selection, because we fed up with the blackmail. We may issue you your own KD declaration since all you stand for is to be against Hausa-Fulani-Kanuri.
We have no time bullshit!

yemmight:
Dino is not in the position to condemn the recall process. INEC has notified him of what they received. They are looking at it presently and date will be set out for confirmation. We are all waiting. I don't care if this one scales through but I am happy that for the first time people have started the process of recalling. We will get it right very soon.

This is not the first recall undertaken please.

Mujtahida:
Don't mind them. When it is politically expedient they hug us and tag us Northerners but when it comes to issues of development, manning sensitive positions they ditch us. This is 2017, not 1960

Madam don't be silly, the so called middle belters have been the ones taking a lions share in whatever the north benefits from.
Tell me when middlebelt was ditched for development or appointments.
The FCT we are accused of transferring to our region is in the middle belt, the heads of states from Gowon to IBB to Abdussalam that ruled for such long times are from middlebelt. The northerners accused of cornering Niger Delta oil blocks are mostly middle belters.
What else do you want from the north?

Mujtahida:
Go knock your head on the wall. We are Nigerians from middlebelt not North Central. Look at the disparaging way you talk down on the people within that region by tagging it middle belt nonsense.

You are obviously ignorant that J S Tarka a Tiv man was an early advocate for the middle belt with the formation of the United Middle belt Congress with people like Solomon Lar in the party even before Independence. Away with the fraud called North Central. I repeat we are from the middlebelt. Mind you I said 'We' not 'I'

There is nothing wrong identifying as middle belt people, to me the terms middlebelt and north-central are all the same.Where the danger os is trying to give it a religious coloration by calling it middlebelt and other minority tribes/Christians.
Once you give your campaign that coloration two gigantic problems arise.
1. The middle belters who are Muslims will never be loyal to your cause once you disparage Hausa-Fulani at every slight opportunity and try to align with people from Southern Borno and Gombe just because they are Muslims. At the end the middle belt will be divided. and we all know what happens against a divided house.
2. You will generate bad blood from the rest of the north as well and you will be between the south and the north with no ally to turn to. Weigh your options and consider what's best for you.
You people can decide to revive help the Arewanism from the time of Sardauna where every northerner regardless of tribe or religion is treated equal. Burn that alliance completely and try to align with the south (may be join Biafra) or stay independent in the middle.
Nigeria shall be balkanized, let everyone go!
Enough blackmailing the north.

I already have five admission offers from four different UK universities, Newcastle Inclusive. but am tired of applying for so many things. It's like PTDF no wan consider us this year.
May give it a try sha.

Why is the IB not talking.

Pidgin2:
If Nigeria is truly a secular country such dressing shouldn't be allowed during national programs like the news, especially 9pm news, this dressing is for Arabs not African culture.

So wetin happen today na, how come we have freedom to comment on Muslim topic?

If you are to be allowed to cast news in your "African" attire you'd have to do it topless, because that's how whitemen met your ancestors and gave them cloth.

The epistle of Dr. Damages. I will read it after breaking fast. Iftar Mabrook!

Chai! See finishing!

QueenOfNepal:
The only way to kill Biafra agitation is restructuring. Let there be fiscal federalism and all these noise will die down

Nope nothing is dying down. There shall be Biafran Flag flying at the UN before Oct 1st. Biafra you want Biafra you mist have.
#KD-D

Seriously I never opened the thread and it baffles me what people could really be discussing.

feeshbaba:
thats a warthog not rhinoceros

I thought it was a boar, with the tusk and everything.

wow I never knew we have boar in Sambisa.

This can't be happen.

SalamRushdie:
Oya EazyMoh come and condemn this now like you did on the other thread

Oga leave me break my fast in peace.
Anyway this is equally barbaric and condemnable! I urge security to fish out the perps.
RIP

This is very cruel and barbaric. We shall all condemn this act. The authorities shall get involved to prevent reprisals.
RIP to the dead.

coptic:
Well, I respect you for your reasonable input.

However, you looked at things from one perspective only.

First off, being part and parcel of the northern region at the time, I don't see why you should consider The middle belters being absorbed into jobs and the armed forces as doing them a favor. That's the government of the day living up to its responsibilities.

And, the benefits of giving one a job works both ways - both in favor of the employers and those of the employees. You speak as if our forefathers brought nothing to the table.

Again, at that time, there was a lot more sanity in the system. There was purpose in the direction of government. Sir Ahmadu Bello wanted nothing more than the growth and progress of the northern region. And even though he was a supremacist, there were times when religion took the back seats in his decision making.

The same cannot be said of today's core northerners. Case in point is the happenings in Federal University, Dutsin Ma, Katsina. Our people are now being told to their faces, "look, you cannot occupy this position because you are christian or not Muslim enough." Merit has no place in today's northern Nigeria.

Did our people not accommodate yours and gave them lands for free? Today, that hospitality has become our greatest undoing.

Our people are being killed in their sleep for no just cause.

Religion is now almost constantly on the front seat. Nobody gives rat's ass about your capabilities no more.

Even I would go to war for a Sardauna and Tafawa Balewa.

But today's core northerners are the worst. Religion has them thinking upside down. Ahmadu Bello must be weeping.

This doesn't mean that all of them are like that.

Thanks for the understanding, and am truly humbled by your accurate perception of the past and present situations as well.
Am glad you acknowledged that Sardauna and Tafawa Balewa never short changed the middle belt or minority Christians in the north. This point has been the greatest propaganda being peddled to further aggravate the crisis especially farmer-herdsmen by enemies of the north.
As you mentioned we ourselves aren't proud of our present day leaders.
Up till tomorrow the best leadership reference is always made to Sardauna and Balewa.
But what could be the solution?
It certainly can't be keeping malice to Hausa-Fulani as your thread is trying to do and align to the south to continue to fuel hare and division among people.
If our present crop of leaders aren't doing enough to find lasting solutions to our problems like ethnic and religious crisis. The best solution we have is to change them.
Instead of blaming only Hausa Fulani, Yakubu Dogara is Speaker and represent everything middle belt. What are people like him doing as leaders of middle belt to get to see that the rest of northern leaders find lasting solutions to the attacks......
