₦airaland Forum

Mujtahida:
Right here on Nairaland I urge all Nairalanders from the South East, South West and deep South to call us what we wish to be called : MIDDLEBELTERS. Jacob changed his name and his destiny changed. We want to change our political destiny and I invite all of you to our political baptism. We are not North Central but Middlebelt. Do not help to consolidate and perpetuate the powers that want to hold this country hostage.
This is imperative. Let us unmask once and for all the powers that want this country to go to pieces.
We say NO to Northern hegemony
We say NO to North Central categorization
We say NO to Fulani herdsmen despoiling farms, killing people in the middle belt and everywhere else in Nigeria
We say NO to those clamping down on the drive to restructure Nigeria and birth a nation.
Let no man think that I hate the North. I don't. I just want a good, just, equitable, developed country. Shikena

Open a thread wt dis.

@Belzabull.
It wl serve u good if u take time and visit my post history. I don't like people quoting me and talking anyhow. As a learned person, i always try to demonstrate some level of civility and wisdom in my posts. Kindly check my post and try to decipher my position on national issues.

coptic:
Bros eh, I am glad that notable middle-belters like Jerry Gana are waking up to this reality.

I don't see our people being part of the north, not for anything.

Yeah!

fiizznation:
What is middlebelt forum? Do you know that hausa/fulani are the second most populated ethnic group that made up the so-called middlebelt? There are indigenous fulanis in kwara, Niger, kogi, nassarawa states. Heck even plateau state have many fulani indigenes. But I bet you don't know this.

Anyway most of you are ignorant. So no surprises here.

Hausas/Fulanis are the second most populated indigenes in MB? Thank you.

fiizznation:
And who made this funny clown the spokesperson of the north central?

Prof Jerry Gana is the President of Middle Belt Forum. Thanks.

Freemancipation:
Look at the boldness and revelations suddenly coming from the middlebelt that barely spoke. I wonder what gave them that boldness?
Hmmmmm could it be the IPOB?

It is not IPOB. The terrible injustice we hv suffered in d last 2 yrs is more than enough. Our stock of patience which is proverbially inexhaustible hs been completely exhausted. If you hv witnessed hw our people hv bn slaughtered in cold blood like chickens then you wl know what we ar saying. Worst still, inspite of this unjustifiable killings or genocide, you wl never hear the so-called Northern leaders or their spokepersons like the bigot called Prof Ango condemning such attrocities, not to talk of taking proactive measures to stop the attacks. This hs left us wt no other option.

That is the truth. Thank you Prof.

Kyase:
not a bad idea.

Gravas, Terkimbi01

Am yet to read the details of the bill. So i don't know how govt intends to go about it.

MrMcJay:
Reading through your post with particular emphasis on the highlighted parts, I'll just suggest that they close down the Diocese and use the parishes as mental health facilities for the Mbaise parishioners.

Your arguments are illogical, incoherent, uncoordinated and opposed to rational thinking.

Shitface. You see what i have been trying to tell you?

cooljude:
What is the main reason for this protest?

Very good question. One mr shitface is here writing an epistle full of myopic reasoning.

Shitface:
I have written about it above.

What you have written above is nothing but pure nonsense. Who were the first Catholic Bishops in Nigeria? Were they Nigerians or Whites? You have nothing to argue here. Don't be a disappointment unto yourself and your community. The earlier you tell your people to retrace and refrain from further show of ignorance the better.

@Shitface.
Stop talking nonsense here. Do u hear me? Do u even know what is happening in other Catholic Dioceses across Nigeria? The current Bishop of Makurdi was nt serving in Benue State when he ws appointed as Bishop of Makurdi Diocese. The same applies to Gboko Diocese. You people are only displaying high level ignorance. Its very shameful. Its a big disgrace. Stop ranting here.

anytexy:
Me too, I don't believe that story, but if it is true. Hmm, they fall my hand big time. I am Igbo but I condemn this in it entirety

This is exactly what i intend to say. They should nt hv gone to this extent NO MATTER THEIR REASONS even if diplomacy failed.

kitaatita:
If you are a priest, you are not qualified to administer any sacrament. You have disgraced your calling. I have followed the crisis in Maisel and I can't find any justification in what you are doing. It is disgraceful.

Do they hv cogent reasons for behaving thus? I hv bn waiting for them to gv us their reasons bt none of them is coming out.

tickertop:
If there is another story to what the media says, then why is it difficult For one mbaise indigene here to tell us the real truth. I've been here for an hour now, all they claim is," there's more to it than what the press says". Please tell us....

Same with me my brother. Would hv put my comment since bt hv bn waiting 4 them to gv us d correct position of things. Bt nobody is coming out to set things straight.

Very helpful tips.

EdCure:
The DMO needs to enact laws to impose legal limits on states borrowings.
Heck! some states are becoming bankrupt with huge, unservicible debts (if not already).
Yet they keep borrowing.

Very true. Instead of looking for ways to boost their IGRs, State Governors hv developed a penchant for borrowing, thereby putting successive administrations in a very difficult position. Something needs to be done ASAP, else, some States will soon go bankrupt.

Weldone Gov. Either they play according to the rules or they get out of Benue. Never beg them. We are not descendants of Othman Dan Fodio. Tell them.

Kyase:
man will do the work for God.

That is what am saying. The Nigeria Military should continue wt their tacit support of fulanis.

Terkimbi01:
You said it S it is.
Thank you

Welcome brother. Long time.

Kyase:
they wont face justice, justice will face them, as it has already started since june.

Whichever way, all i know is justice wl be served. It could be human justice it could be divine justice. The fulanis hv incured the wrath of man and the full wrath of God.

Kyase:
the killing will stop soon

It should better stop. And nt only dat, the perpetrators and their sponsors/supporters should be made to face justice for crimes committed. Anything short of this is totally unacceptable. As for me, no matter hw long it takes, i must one day avenge the blood of innocent Benue people slaughtered in cold blood by terrorists called fulani herdsmen. This is no joke. Even the Almighty wl be on my side to avenge the killings. No crime wl go unpunished. I know where i wl start when the time comes. Sooner or later we wl get there.

GworoChewinMaga:
Benue people took it upon themselves to kill Igbos and other southerners residing in their midst back in 1966 and 1967.

Benue contributed the highest amount of foot soldiers in the war to keep nijeriya one.

Recently, Benue people came out en mass to vote the grand patron of Miyetti Allah's cattle breeders association in the form of Buhari and his APC.
Are you sure this isn't karma?

That was then! Even you were nt born at dat time. I wrote something about dat on NL sometime ago. I said dat, our fathers may hv fought against Biafra during d civil war bt these days, the game hs changed completely. You can't continue to live in d past. If Biafra is to be granted, and should a referendum be conducted on whether MB wl go wt Biafra or stay wt Arewa, the North wl witness d greatest shock of their lives. We the present generation wl rather pitch our tent wt Biafra than wt Arewa. Simple.

Kyase:
we dont want another orkar bro, we all know He was the type our modern ladies call 1 minute man.
We need someone that will only after winning completely.
Lastly dont worry about fulani from august.
Lastly lastly, do we have benue youth forum or Tiv youth forum? The answer is NO.
Lastly lastly lastly are you ready to stop the fulanis? If YES, Then HOW?
Cc gravas

@Kyase. Terkimbi01.
My good brothers, i thank u so much for the efforts. It seems our political leaders hv chosen to take side with our killers in order to protect their political interests. However, we the youths wl nt support such shamelessness. It hs bn my honest position dat, the systematic genocide taking place in Benue State and other Central Regions, is pushing the country to the brink of disunity.
On the issue of Orkar, he failed as a result of alcoholic influence. He ws drunk and so could nt coordinate himself. It was very unfortunate.

BUSHHUNTER:
To stay alive in this contemporary Nigeria, one really needs something stronger or equivalent to weed.
Fuvked up country.

LWKM.

praxisnetworks:
Answer my question. Quit dancing nakeddd

It's like you did not read my last sentence.

AZeD1:
Violence is a crime in all ramifications. But convincing people to recall a senator is not a crime. The affidavit said Mr Tope was told to "Convince" people (Mr Tope's words not mine) and that my friend is not a crime.

Also he said he was told to give people 500 after they agreed, not before they agreed so they were not "induced".

Kudos.

praxisnetworks:
You are very ignorant. Define electoral violence.

No am not. You just need to go through the recall guidelines. The last time i checked, one of the guidelines says after submitting signatures, INEC will embark on a verification exercise to ascertain whether the signatures are real or fake. This is what we are talking about here. And i will appreciate highly if you will not quote me again. Thanks.

AZeD1:
Read the affidavit very well, he says the person who gave him the money said he should "Convince"people to append their signatures. Also, unless he can prove what he said in court (Ward chairman giving him money, telling him to forge signatures) Tope is on his own.

Immediately i saw the word 'convince', i say Dino is gone. If people were actually convinced to sign, there is no crime. They were not forced. No wonder Dino has been very restless. He learnt reliably that those signatures are real not forged. The people who coordinated that project deserve a hand of aplause. It is not easy. Those swearing affidavits are putting themselves into trouble.

yarimo:
Please INEC proceed with the verification of the voters signatures, if it's genuine just do the needful by booting him out of senate chamber and if it's not kindly do the needful also . DINO MELAYE and false alarm since the recall process has started are like 5 and 6

Now, i know why Dino is getting restless! The signatures are real not fake. They are genuine. This is what matters. Oh Dino is gone!! Chei.

Afam4eva:
This is obviously an attempt at damage control. I pity this man that is forming Jack Bauer spreading his picture all over the place. He doesn't know he's putting himself in harms way.

My brother. The greatest problem we have in our society is what i may refer to as 'egotism'. Everybody wants to be praised.

leofab:
I don't know why I kept believing that one day, they'll bring us together; for now all they've shown In more ways than one is That all they care about is the dollar/Naira. They might belong to the one biggest political party(APC/PDP) but for me I belong to that one Humanity party; it's obvious our differences are worlds apart just like guns and roses
The youths If we don't take control Of the situation
We'll stay forever in this commotion and circular - motion.

Just because of four years of power, They Destroy a lifetime of Togetherness; once upon a time we were judged By the colour of our skins, Now we are judged
By the language we speak and the place we worship.
Let us unite Against being divided; Nigeria is a great nation and so shall it continue to be..

To my fellow Youth ; Aluta Continua...
