Ahlaji you just contradict yourself

First you said we ought to be govern by the constitution, and if so, soon, now or later Osibanjo would be sworn in as president according to the constitution.
If Nigeria Unite under him everyone would support him to rule till 2027


How do the Arewa plan to retain power? Keep Buhari in London till when?

Or force him to continue even tho he is sick?

Or what?

Or wait, force Osibanjo to resign?

or kill southerners in the northwest via riot?

make Nigeria ungovernable again?

Or use the military?

how would you you do it.

it's like the Yorubas have won again this time.

I stand to be corrected.

I'll be glad to correct you because most of you are misinformed.

First, Osibanjo has to respect the gentleman's agreement he had with NEF and resign peacefully. Beyond this, the constitution makes provision for rotation of presidency. Obasanjo was in power for 8yrs without any form if interruption whatsoever. The north should be allowed her full 8yrs

This write up has loads of mischievous intent. You people can not keep dividing this country with media propaganda.

The Yorubas are very treacherous people and that leaves them more foolish than not. They cannot rebel further than they have already done especially now that good people of this country have their eyes on them because such action will be met with brutal resistance.

My big question Ahlaji ... Does two wrongs make one right ?

The problem with the Fulani is they lack patient.... They actually believe they can intimidate every other tribe with Violence or War. which historically in the 16th century they were militaristic power, conquer the whole north... I respect that.

but in this 2017 Technology and Globalize era . Education is the best weapon.

For the records... The Yorubas has called the Fulani bluff, The SE and SS too, and the North Central too.. they are like saying to the Hausa Fulani do your worst.

Yoruba man is already the president (an acting President has the full authority of the president) ... and he his actually doing well... very well.

Now in ending. Nigeria should actually divide. I believe Arewa would be better off without the south.
and they would easily dominate the minority and make it an Islamic State they by allowing the Quran to unify them.
which is not possible in a united Nigeria

Let Osibanjo go and rule over his people Yorubas and let Muslim Fulani Rule over Arewa.

Today, only the constitution can determine how we govern ourselves here. Please respect that.

Osibanjo will be the greatest fool to think he can become president of Nigeria. That is madness. We are smarter now and we can see through your game. And for your information, his "acting" has massive limitations. I hope you won't want me to talk on this.

I would like to know what you mean by the South calling our bluff. In what way? We said no to 30% oil derivation, were you able to change that? We said no to Biafra, were you able to change that? We said no to restructuring, were you able to change that?

Yes, you get lesser derivation and again, monthly allocation for states but that is sheer generosity. We didn't bow to pressure to do any of that, so respect our benevolence. The world was not this generous. The victor used to take all the booty but I think it's fair to have a tweak. All we ask is respect

coptic:
Come, did a Yoruba man snatch your wife, kill your parents, or fathered your child?

I don't get the senseless image battering you are doing all over nairaland.

You are such a bitter soul!

F#ck off!

You must know, I'm very bitter and we must give them a bloody nose soon. If you want to kill a snake, grab it by the head. The South have reneged on their allegiance and Yoruba leads in that. Have you seen my bitterness concerning Yoruba?

coptic:


There's no doubting that that guy is dealing with some mental problems. His insanity is not from around here.

They can't think outside of the Quran o, as you see them so.

People like that are the greatest danger facing the world. Imagine that kind of kid that guy would raise. No be terrorist e go become?

If you know me, you will never say such nonsense about me.

For a long time. I've been passive on social media. I became active lately because of the level of damages the Yoruba people have done to this nation, using their media. I guess I'm joining late.

Everyday, Saharareporters publishes one stupid lie against Buhari all because they want Osibanjo to ascend. Is that fair?

Is it proper that the ministry of education will be accused of Islamizing Nigeria all because they introduced a new language? And who started this savagery? Yoruba people, of course, ffk and their pastors. Do you still wonder why there are so much infidels in Yoruba land? Do you wonder why they burn down mosques at every slightest provocation while churches stand?

I knew I would have some children like you speak evil of me but I've a very thick skin

Terkimbi01:
I am not speaking for the Middle Belt.
I am too small and too insignificant to do that.

I am only here to relay our sentiments.

1. First and foremost, the Fulani must pull out of our lands.
Even if they will return, it will be after negotiations and agreements on bow they will return.

They cannot invade our lands, destroy our way of life, destroy our crops,.maim and kill us, and on top of it, take over our lands.

2. Nigeria must pull out of Organisation of Islamic Countries.

While some Nigerians are Moslems, some of us are not.
we have no intention of becoming for obvious reasons.

3. We are not part of the North.
we did not negotiate with anybody to put us there.
it was the British that defined our current status.

we are Middle Belt. we want to be addressed as such.
Our governors will have Middle Belt Governors Forum where they shall discuss our affairs as it concerns.

After all,.the South are not lumped into one. South East, South west and south south all have distinct identities.

4. We are more comfortable with the peaceful south than with the violent North.
so, if we want to seek alliance, we look towards south.

5. Abolish Qouta System especially when it comes to areas that demand intellectual capacities. Let those qualified do the work.

6. Allow us to govern ourselves. we wish to provide our security and approach eduction with sense of responsibility without interference from the centre.

7. Allow us to develop at our own pace.
We are not afraid of resource control.

8. We are not begging for ONE Nigeria, after all,.what it has given us so far is tears and blood.

To all middle-belters here on Nairaland, feel free to correct me on any of the points.

Add your own points.

To all Nigerians here on Nairaland, feel free to correct me.
I don't want any abuses. I believe what we all want is a peaceful and prosperous nation where the citizens are equal.

expressing my opinion is not a crime.

[/s]

I will not blame you. Not at all!

I blame our elite for not doing enough to curtail the excesses of Yoruba people in orientation moulding. They had undue indulgence in the media and today everybody can see the terrible result.

It was Yoruba who caused the incessant quest for restructuring. Now the flame is burning hot and they have scrawled back into their shell as usual.

It was Yoruba who instigated violence in Lagos, the then capital, in 1964. That violence led to every bad thing happening in the country today, including the agitation for Biafra, in larger scale.

Today, everybody has learnt to copy the wrong things without minding the consequences. But I will advise those infidels in the North to reconsider your position because your rebellion against the North will be met with absolute brutality.

It can only be an infidel who will wake up in the morning and decide to change his name to middle belt

chiefbidemi:
The igbos are yearning for an independent nation which they called Biafra. In recent times, they have drawn a map to include the states in the South South region. However, most of the south south states have voiced out their antipathy for being part of the entity called Biafra. They do not want to be part of Biafra. However, if you ask people from the South South region, they do not like being part of Nigeria either. What's the soulution? The igbos should stop being selfish. You cannot force a people to be part of your agitation without making them take a front seat. The igbos should find out why the south south people do not want to be part of Biafra. Ask the people questions. They will find out 1 common thing across all south south states. Everyone hates the name "Biafra".

The only way the igbos can have an independent nation is to drop the name "Biafra" and accept to be called Niger Delta. The only way the igbos can achieve an independent nation is if the Niger Delta region joins them fully in their agitation. Do you know the Federal government are not shaken by igbos agitation? Do you know what will make the Federal government shake to its knees and have sleepless nights? When they wake up to see that the south south states are saying with one voice that they are no longer interested in the illegal union called Nigeria.

My advice therefore is that they drop the name Biafra and adopt Niger Delta as a name for the new country. It is more appealing to be called a Niger Deltan than to be called a Biafran. A Biafran sounds like a terrorist or a rogue. A Niger Deltan sounds much more respectable and would open more doors internationally for future citizens of that nation

You Southerners should stop your rebellious attitude before it's too late. This is no longer funny.. A stitch in time, they say, saves nine.

greatiyk4u:
Enough of all these shit of crowd Kanu pulls.........among his cult of followers, who are the prominent members?

Please remind them

Kusugu Well & Legendary


Bayajida Sword: “Kusugu” is where a giant snake called “sarki” was killed with a sword by Bayajida in the 10th century AD because the snake only allowed Daura people then to draw water from the well once in a week.

This heroic act by Bayajida made Daurama -the reigning queen of the time- to marry Bayajida who came from the middle east.

The well and the sword are still intact and can be seen by tourists. Katsina city Walls “Ganuwar Amina”:

The wall in Katsina was built during the reign of Sarki Ali Murabus in the 15th century and seven gates associated with the wall are Kofar Yandaka, Kofar Guga, Kofar Kaura,Kofar Durbi, Kofar Sauri and Kofar Kwaya.

Old Katsina Teacher’s College: Built in 1922 with red-baked city mud and clay, this is the oldest teachers training college in the northern part of Nigeria and the college has produced prominent Nigerians like the late Prime Minister, Sir. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and the Late Premier of Northern Nigeria Alhaji Sir, Ahmadu Bello as well as many others.

Mairuwa & Ajiwa Holiday Resorts: The holiday resorts of Mairuwa and Ajiwa lakes sites in Funtua and Katsina have recreational facilities for water sports such as boating, fishing, swimming etc.

Dan marina Tomb: This is a grave of the celebrated saint Dan marina, the famous 17th to early 18th century scholar.

FemiMaduka:
I thought you were a civil and couth fellow but since I have confirmed that you are just another almajiri that got some education (howbeit uselessly), I will treat you as such. Tell your likes in the north that when push comes to shove, the Sahara would be their destination (that is if we don't change our minds and make it the Mediterranean). You are such a disgrace to even the North you purport to be speaking for. A nonentity like you calling other people infidels! What an effontery! Jonathan did it and nothing happened, it only took the help of the same Yorubas that you spite to get the seat back. What did you do? Killed yourselves in a brutal insurgency (I only pray for the souls of the innocent people caught up in that disaster). What about cutting the nose to spite the face...

Talk is cheap

kp3tech:
North and their fake magnanimity propagandas and fake history.



Nigeria is a like human body, If the hand attack the leg, its like attacking itself.

Buhari (with the North) plan was to oppress the Igbo "intentionally " because they felt threatened by them.... especially during 2015 election. not knowing attack on Igbo would affect everyone, attack on any major tribe would affect everyone.

Now they are planning to oppress the Yorubas.

the north better change their political strategy. If they harass the SW it would affect everyone including the north.

Just 2 years of attacking the igbo, Nigeria is crumbling, the whole world is watching, For the first time the North Central is rebelling against arewa, for the first time we had recession twice. Biafra secession for the first had gain national and international attention after the civil war...

Everybody needs each other!

Hopefully it is not late.

The bolded is the only valid point in your post. Everybody needs each other, quite true. But do the ibos know this when they started their secession songs?

We need each other but you cannot leave your role and play mine and expect peace. The Yoruba is eyeing the presidency today, is that fair? They want to take advantage of others' misfortune. That is the betrayal we are talking about. Watch the little man in Aso-Rock doing everything to be seen to have outshined his master. Wickedness!

Saying that the North is oppressing the ibo intentionally sounds as treacherous as what a Yoruba person will say to deceive others. The North has no intention to oppress ibo. ibos are the ones oppressing themselves.

A subtle warning to all those championing division and restructuring and other enemies of the state

Kyase:
where was the North when herdsmen are killing my kinsmen, all they could do is to issue quite notice to igbos, forgetting whats going on in its region. Do you know i defended the north more than anyone here, i was insulted. The North never for once ask about the fulani menace in its region. Why.

It's this kind of your recalcitrant behaviour that leads to violence at times and people lose their lives, not just your people, the Fulani also die at times.

If you have defended the North in the past, who told you to stop now? If you are truly a Northerner, try to understand the doctrine that binds the North. It's such an indisputable allegiance you owe the North to protect her interests at all times. The major problem we have up here are those infidels. Otherwise the holy Qur'an is enough binding force. Rebelling against the North is like rebelling against Islam. please be guided

gentlechyke:
That is the problem in Nigeria and people like you champion it. why call someone an infidel and lesser beign cause he doesn't belong to your faith...if there is a brain in your skull, you should know that if unlike terms are forced together, the centre will not hold. Power monger, born to rule. Never will North decide fate of others Bigot

Ok. let's see if Osibanjo will go beyond acting capacity.

Kyase:
chest beating at its peak.

Perhaps, you are a Northerner but you have been showing betrayal tendencies lately. If you don't retrace, you will certainly meet what will make you wish you never perceived that thought of betrayal.

PreyingMantis:
It is a date with destiny. The destruction of the Fulani is imminent. You lots have become an excess baggage the rest of Nigeria has to do away with.

The worst you can do to the North has already happened but will never repeat.

We brought obansanjo, who was condemned to die, and gave him a new lease of life. Not only did we give him life, we gave him power in furtherance of our boundless benevolence to Yoruba people.

What happened? When it was time to return power, he started aiming at third term - a decision that completely violets the will of the North. When we did not agree, he insistently foisted Yar'adua on us, a man he knew too well was not medically fit to carry on with the tedious task of adminstration.

His plan came to pass giving way for that Otuoke man to plunder the economy of this country.

Now, tinubu and his cohorts are converging like vultures around Aso-Rock, praying day and night for bad news that Osibanjo may take over. But that will never happen. Them alone know what they did to Buhari.

So I can tell you authoritatively that the one happening now is the last evil the North will ever endure from Yoruba

PreyingMantis:
Just like the once overly arrogant Tutsies of Rwanda. The decimation of the arrogant, overbearing and boastful Fulani will be televised. I can see it coming.

And it's you that will decimate Fulani, right? Good luck!

FemiMaduka:
Run the check yourself and forever free yourself of that misinformation.

run what check? State your point if you have any

FemiMaduka:
That is the lie you guys in the north were told (of course you guys swallowed it). Let me embarrass you with the FACT...Please read and be informed. Your groundnut-economy was not even bringing in a quarter of what only PALM OIL from the East was bringing. I dare say again, the South has always being paying for the North. Run your checks and be informed.

Can you post another list of any of these years 1930 - 1948?

FemiMaduka:
Are you trying to be spiteful or you are just plain STUPID? You are part of the problem of this country; those sets of people who dubiously falsify history and stand it on its head. Are you ignorant of the fact that the Southern part of Nigeria has been subsidizing the Northern part of Nigeria for more than a 100years. Yes! I said for more than a 100years! Imagine how you spit ignorance with so much pride! Go and do your research. Don't remain an ignorant person. And by the way, this time, if any northern group tries shit in Nigeria, it will be fed with it. Bring it on!

I think you are just a child so let me squeeze out a few minutes and educate you. Not that it is necessary anyway but let me try.

Forgive me if I'm blunt but I'll state the fact.

When you say "South", I suppose you are referring to Southern Nigeria. Then I ask you whose Nigeria are we talking about?

In 1884, this world was not so democratic. People conquered and dominated people and it was always arbitrary. Europe organized a conference they tagged Berlin conference in Portugal. The conference was based on their intended inversion in Africa. At the conference, a man called Henry Morton warned them that some parts of the place they call Africa already had colonial master but Otto von Bismarck waved it off, banking on their perceived military superiority.

Henry Morton was referring to Fulani ruling what is today known as Nigeria.

They came anyway. And their coming changed so many things, not for good.

Before the white man came here, we had captured the land, purified the people and gave them Qur'an

While the white man was here and after he left, it was the proceed from our groundnut that sustained Nigeria.

Today, you people still feed because we farm.

The useless Yoruba vagrants incited the riverline dwellers and deceived them into thinking that oil deposits in those areas belong to the so-called occupants of the land. But none of them understand the international police on land order. They don't know why massive offshore deposits are left for Nigeria.

So I ask you again, whose Nigeria?

anyebedgreat:
Wailing Ipod Igbo spotted!

Well, seems you know something I don't know

wizzakosh:
Aboki, if you don't want restructuring, then we divide the folking nation. Smith can't be feeding you leeches any longer. Get that into your gworo skull.

Divide it let's see.

I hope you don't hinge your hope on this little man called osibanjo because his only recourse is resignation. Never again will we leave our destiny in the hands of an infidel, more so, a Yoruba infidel.

cumbak60:
Arrogance at its peak.

Sadly, it's actually the fact. Yoruba people are the most stupid people on earth to live with. I'll continue to blame our elite for ever conceding power to them in the name of consolation. They are the author of every problem going on in Nigeria of today. Things were not this bad. So far, they have planted evil seeds in the minds of every Southerner and now the minorities in the North want to toe that part. My position here is that your people should first consider the possible consequences of whatever action you choose to indulge in because there must be a limit to magnanimity and benevolence

Bros go and find out what 'dictrine of necessity' means.

What nonsense doctrine is that?

Mscheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew.

I even thought you have something upstairs in your brain to share, I never knew you are as shallow and empty as Public Water Tap.

I'll thank you to stop quoting me

SuperS1Panther:
See this mad man.

FUlanis are only ood for one thing -- being herdsmen..

Tell us how you conquered the Jukuns, Tivs, Idomas, Yorubas, Ibos Beroms, Kanuris etc

Tell the world the war you fought to conquer Yorubaland. Mind you we still have Oba in Kabba and Jebba, which are our farthest settlements.

Maybe history will repeat itself soon. To the Southerners that love causing problems, tell me, are you going to fight by throwing pure water at us? Or will you haul stones? I laugh at you

kenny987:
They died for what they believed in and they did not lose that belief before dying...to take their sacrifice seriously is to restore Biafra.

It was actually the impossibility of Biafran restoration that made them die. Shouldn't that be a lesson for the living? Or must you all die before you agree that Biafra is lie? See, we are just being considerate. Nigeria is big enough for everybody to thrive. Let's just bury this Biafra issue and move on.

SuperS1Panther:
Really. Who did you defeated apart from the Hausas which you have made your eternal slaves.

You only spared them because you needed slaves that you will lording over. Well that is the headache of your Hausa Slaves.

The Kanuris, The Tivs, The Jukuns, The Idomas, The Beroms etc were never defeated by your rampaging and blood thirsty fore fathers . WHat you could not achieve in 18th century is what you are using your herdsmen to stylishly achieve in 2017, by committing genocide against the minorities.

Before the advent of colonialism, we had defeated all what is today known as Northern Nigeria. We conquered, to a large extent, the ancient Yoruba kingdom. We put Ibos to rout during their Biafra craze.

In all these, we said no victor, no vanquished. That is magnanimity. Tell me, where else in this whole world has a nation conquered another in a fair battle and still choose to dine on the same table with them.

And here, the Yoruba have contaminated some ethnic groups with their disloyalty and backstabbing and everybody is talking nonsense.

dnawah:
they blood is the problem of the country 2day.GOD will be punishing all the countries behind the Biafra's genocide.

The only person behind the genocide is Ojukwu. We don't want it to happen again which is why we advise you to drop the idea of Biafra and move on with your lives. Nigeria will be prosperous for everybody who loves peace

SuperS1Panther:
Says the Fulfulde speaking herdsman from Fouta Jallon, who usurped the political structure of the Hausas.

It is not your fault, it is the fault of the Hausas and Middle Belters that cannot cane you out of their land.

A great virtue of the Fulani man you much love to despise is his magnanimity.

We are so magnanimous in victory and that is why everybody talks as pleases him today

coptic:
Rebel against the North?

The f#ck does that even mean?

Does the north own anybody? Does she pay me?

So why should I give rat's ass about the north or tlwhat she thinks?

My candid advice: Do not listen to the lying tongues of Yoruba people. They have caused enough problems in this country already. Don't let anybody deceive you. While it is true that we have lots of languages in the North, like most places in the world tho, North should be seen as one because we are stronger together.
