Naked truth.

We are not North Central but middle belt.

We no longer want to be addressed as north central.

We hereby proclaim ourselves the middlebelter, and not North Central.

The prevailing wisdom is that we seek to carve an identify different from that of the core north and state categorically that the term "north central" exists only.for the benefits of the core northerners who love using land and population to their advantages.

We want no part of that.

Besides, we have suffered more grievously than any other group from the activities of the herdsmen in recent years.

Our forebears allowed them into our lands all because they were open and receptive to all. Today, their hospitality has turned back to haunt us right in our backyards.

Some silly ignoramuses like that dolt from Kaduna (the one who types in red ink) even go as far as claiming the middle belt as fulani land.

Be careful. You cannot rebel against the north. Be careful

didnt people sacrifice to keep soviet union together? What of Sudan?

This is neither Soviet nor Sudan. This is Nigeria located in West Africa. Or would you rather go the way of South Sudan?

I feel compelled to comment on this gentleman's claims.

He claimed to have submitted a cure for diabetes to NIPRD. The fact is that at this moment in time there is no known cure for diabetes either type 1 ( Insulin dependent diabetes ) or type 2 ( Non- insulin dependent ).

I am at a loss to comprehend how he can make such a bold claim. This is a disservice to those suffering from the disease in Nigeria by attempting to give false hopes.

He also claimed to have perfected toothache medicine to eradicate toothache in the world, give us a break. Surely he doesn't know the basic patho-physiology of toothache.

This guy is clearly an illiterate who has no clue about what he is claiming. The term charlatan comes to mind because this is nothing short of quackery or worse a 419 scam.

Is this another Philip Emeagwali in the making ?

You just said my mind. Sorry to say, but 90% of Southern Nigerians are criminals who thrive only by making bogus claims. Imagine claiming to have found cure for diabetes! lol

90% of rich people in the South made their money through such questionable means but this one has failed. Tinubu and co, renowned for criminality. If Evans was not nabbed, he would soon become a hero too.

This country needs thorough refining and we will see to that when the time comes. Their education is cancerous to our collective unity. These animalistic Yoruba people can not keep poking our eyes and expect peace

The death of ibos and some other Nigerians in 1967 - 1970 is a unifying factor that must keep Nigeria together. These people made supreme sacrifices that we may love each other and live together in a united Nigeria. We must take that sacrifice seriously.

Biafra is a mirage and so is restructuring. Get busy with your lives and stop wasting it

Who is this inconsequential conquered minority?

Minority? You must be out of your mind. But don't worry, you will be paid in full for your treachery, backstabbing and all the vices you solely brought upon this country.

A group named the Nigerian Youth Advocate for Justice threatens to lead seven million youths to force President Buhari out of office if he fails to resign in 8 weeks

- The group’s chairman, Seriki Olorunwa, says the prevailing health condition of the president has made it impossible for him to govern the country -

The youths state that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has subjected Nigerians to humiliation because of its self-serving activities A group, the Nigerian Youth Advocate for Justice has given President Muhammadu Buhari an eight-week ultimatum to either resign or form an interim government following his absence from the country for more than 53 days.

The group warned that if the president fails to comply with the ultimatum, it would lead seven million youths in 22 states to force him out of office, Guardian reports. The group’s chairman, Seriki Olorunwa, said the prevailing health condition of the president had made it impossible for him to govern the country. “We urge the Senate, House of Representatives, state house of assemblies and parastatals to persuade Mr. President to resign and hand over to an interim president in the interest of Nigerians,” group said. Though the youths pledged not to shed any blood, they however noted that they were prepared to fight than to live as slaves. “We are speaking with one voice for the masses because we want the progress of the people.”

The group said the All Progressives Congress (APC) had subjected Nigerians to humiliation because of its self-serving activities. The youths complained that that killing, kidnapping and robbery have become the order of the day in the present-day Nigeria. Meanwhile, the APC has said President Muhammadu Buhari is fast recovering from his illness contrary to allegations that he is on life support. The national chairman of the party, John Odigie-Oyegun, gave the assurance in Abuja on Friday, June 30, while speaking with newsmen at the end of a meeting between the party`s national working committee (NWC) and state governors elected on the party’s platform. Oyegun, however noted that Buhari will only return to the country after his doctors abroad certify him fit to do so, The News Agency of Nigeria reports.[/s]

Foolish youths

You people should keep on converging here like vagrant vultures that you are. That is the only leverage your education offers you, but I'll laugh over it so long your incoherent draft will end up a nonsensical piece. But pray! Pray earnestly that I don't ascend to power, which none of you can overrule anyway, because if I do, you will wish you never deceived people in this country.

Paperwhite:
Nigeria is being administered by a constitution so it's logical that any legal abnormality therein should be adjugated in a competent court of law.So why is this senator talking of praying for a Buhari that have spurned our Constitution because of his inordinate quest for power? Mr.Senator do take a back seat man.

Mr. law what exactly does the constitution say? Has the constitution said a president will never fall sick? Has it said people shouldn't pray for their president? We are religious people

bantudra:
better stop listening to radio biafra that lied to you that nigeria will split......

because you believe radio biafra doesnt mean the rest of nigeria must believe it too...

newsflash:

not all nigerians listen to radio biafra..!!!...

you want to split??...then go talk with the nigerian army about that and stop disturbing us here on nairaland with radio biafra propaganda...

Don't mind the jobless people. They are inconsequential and believing in their pirate radio is just a consolation for their past failure.

The sovereignty of this nation is unnegotiable - Fact.

I will blame the Yoruba for the stupidity going on in Nigeria today. All these nonsense going on in Nigeria today are evil seeds planted by Yoruba people in years past. Our elite have spoilt them with sheer benevolence but they wont stop stabbing us in the chest.

oodua constitution within the federal republic of Nigeria? You people must be mad. I keep saying it that Yoruba is the problem we have in this country. Everything evil begins with you people. This is how you started singing for sovereign national conference in 1993. Today that evil seed has grown and everybody is shouting restructuring. Now you are drafting a constitution that will most likely contradict the constitution of the federal republic. There must be a permanent solution to end this

Durbar Celebration: The Durbar reflects the state’s cultural and historical dignity. It is a significant royal display of horsemanship mainly organized to mark important occasions and Sallah festivities.

The Durbar is characterized by royal horsemen, dances and gorgeous – horses, trumpeters led by the Shehu, Emirs, District heads and other traditional title holders as the case may be.

Katsina City Gate: Katsina city gate is a tourist attraction because of the wall that surrounds it with its seven different gates. The wall was built about 900 years ago during the reign of King Murabus.

Gobarau Minaret: The minaret which was said to have been built about 300 years ago was built of baked clay and mud and has been a thing of wonder to the inhabitants of the city.

It is decorated in white and green paints depicting national colours. The colourful festivities and Durbar on Salah days continue to attract thousands of tourists both within and outside the country.

Their headache! Nigeria is one so anybody is free to rant otherwise

Fyno:
that's not constitution, its a decree that has held down Nigeria from development which must be resisted by all through all lawful and or unlawful means.

If the north feeds you,it doesn't feed me,I foot my bills not the north.


They are parasites especially with their feudal mindset

You don't consider it a constitution because your signature isn't there, right?

lol.... someone represented dude and if that does not satisfy you, then the constitution can be arbitrary. It's so everywhere.

The North feeds you. If you have ever been to farm, then you would appreciate what the North does to feed you

BabaRamota1980:
So Kanu is criminal now, ehnn? Two months ago when Nwodo, Soludo, Anya O. Anya, Ezeifo, Nwabuisi, Ekwueme, Azuchia, all five SE governors, Ekweremadu called for his release he was not criminal then, abi? See how you now turn your back on him and made him a criminal overnight...Ibos are abandoning Kanu, and as is typical of you, blame your backstabbing on Yoruba!

Let me tell you, Ibos are already working behind the scene to have him rearrested and locked up for good, for him to rot in prison. All because of Kaduna Declaration. You are slaves to North, its beginning to dawn on you. Even your brothers in North have separated themselves, they no longer want to be known as just Igbo....but rather, Northern Igbo! They are separating from your culture.

Ikwere dont want you, Ika dont want you, Northern Igbo dont want you. All the people that speak Igbo as a language are struggling to separate from cultural Igbo. Internal treachery and backstabbing left and right. Uwazuruike is a traitor, Kanu is a criminal, Igbokwe is treacherous, Obiano is a sell out, Rochas is a sell out, Ngige is a sell out......do you have anyone left with credibility in Iboland?

Ijaw has a prime opportunity to emerge as the third leg of the proverbial Nigerian Tripod, if they can get their acts right between now and October1st. Apparently they know more about militancy than political savagery, otherwise their voice should now drown yours on the political arena and displace you permanently from political mainstream.

I think you quoted the wrong person

conductor1:
I went through the interview, went through the write up, even read the replies before yours. I didn't see anywhere where war was mentioned.

Why are afonja moozlems this daft? How does someone requesting his God-given self-determination rights mean war? Even if separating Nigeria means war, so we should not separate because of fear of war? The one Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen are currently doing, is it not enough war for your ewedu skull?

Go and pack the pieces of your medulla where you left it. Cretin.

Stop mentioning Fulani in your posts

kenny987:
Then u must live under a stone and only come out for short periods of time within which u pick up on crap and go back to regurgitate. For your information now that you're out, Gov Umahi has stated clearly that he was misreported and that he stands for a restructured and equitable Nigeria. The Yoruba leaders strongly stand for same,the only ones who are too dumb now like Tinubu and all political leaders are those on the corridors of power who would rather plunder the Nigerian commonwealth than give way to reason.

When under pressure, one can try to deny or twist his/her own words, especially when such interview come with tough political implications but those of us with working brain know the difference.

Umehi granted that interview as was reported by a major daily. If he didn't, litigation would have proved otherwise in lieu of merely denying.

Yoruba people will be repudiated in all entirety. Having stabbed us right in the chest, we owe it to ourselves to pay them in their own coin.

Asari would have been nothing too without Ya'radua's amnesty. Northern benevolence!

Anyways good for the foolish Yoruba. We will abandon Yoruba to their pitiful state. They think they can continue to betray the North and go free but that's a fat lie

Katsina State map Weather/Climate



The state can be classified into two zones in terms of climate which are the tropical continental and semi arid continental.

The south of the state (from Funtua to DutsimMa) belong to the former with total annual rainfall figures ranging from 1000mm around Funtua to over 800m around DutsimMa.

The north of Katsina State (from around Kankia to the extreme northeast) has total rainfall figures ranging from 600700mm annually.

Generally, climate varies considerably according to months and seasons. A cool dry (harmattan) season from December to February; a hot dry season from March to May; a warm wet season from June to September; a less marked season after rains during the months of October to November, characterised by decreasing rainfall and a gradual lowering of temperature.

This will be replicated in Nigeria. A lot of people have gone insane here.

RIP to the dead.

There is crises everywhere, not only in Nigeria. But some foolish ones like painting Fulani black.

HARDDON:
You know the north have more to lose!

Just imagine If oil was in d north. Nigeria wud have broken up long time ago!

Every regoin needs to control what resources are located within it domain n only pay token to FG.

This is the way forward. This wud make all governors sit up n look for a way to make money to fund their budget.

It wud make developement faster. Power issues wud be addressed swiftly n those granted stay in other region wud know their place n not run cows tru farmlands.

Eboyi State governor is the chairman of southeast governors. Speaking on behalf of southeast governors recently, he said they were not in for restructuring.

A wise man, that is.

Even the confused Yoruba elders that started crying for this nonsense called restructuring in 1993 have all backed out. Why do you choose to be different?

Well, they have no choice other than denying that criminal called Kanu. In sheer benevolence, the North has extended a hand of friendship to the South, even when we have all what it takes to act otherwise. But what do we get? Backstabbing from Yoruba stock especially.

sukkot:
please stop spreading lies about hausa-fulani. power has been in the south for nearly 15 years in the past 20 years. if anyone is being oppressed as slaves its the north. jonathan had power for 6 years and obasanjo 8 years and ernest shonekan 1 year. north only 5 years while south has had power 15 years. stop being paranoid of the north. its your insecurity speaking

Thank brother. Keep reminding the betrayals

OK

All you needed to do was to make your point without the insult. But sadly, you never learnt manners while growing up. Take out time to work on your life

Fools learn only by scolding. I need not make any point because you have obviously made up your minds to cause problem in this country. A day is coming when you will earnestly wish you never incited people. Then it will be too later for you to seed redress.
