Niger Delta as a country would be like Luanda in Angola. Expensive Country where Oil and gas, Technology, Maritime, Tourism and Industries would be common place.
They are historically, culturally and Religiously one. Christianity would be state religion while tolerating the 1% muslims in Auchi area.
All Hausafulanis Muslims would be Chased away for peace to reign supreme

kayfra:
I stated a basis for my argument. The 1st class traditional rulers in a lot of those states are Fulanis installed by the caliphate and they exercise considerable authority and leadership autonomy. What have you stated apart from conjecture?

kayfra:
Fulanis have strong control in Nassarawa and Niger in addition to the one you already mentioned. Nasarawa is part of the emirate and same as Niger

Emir of Keffi
Emir of Lafia
Emir of Lafiagi
Etsu Nupe
Emir of Nasarawa
Borgu emirate
Lapai
Emir of Ilorin

Etc

Spicycat:
Fulani's control little to nothing in state like Nasarawa, Kogi, Benua, and Niger, only in platue and Abuja i will agree that they hold sway on small structure which is still not a threat to the entire middle belt.

nku5:
Middle belt will be a very stable country because they have unity of purpose and a lot of economic potential. If they are shrewd, tourism can be their chief source of revenue. They do have their issues like the Tiv and Jukun fights though

I doubt Niger Delta can even form an independent state. They never seem to agree on anything.

iskoki:
Don't confuse Middlebelt with North Central. North Central is a geopolitical zone in Nigeria that comprises 6 states :
1. Plateau.
2. Benue.
3. Kwara.
4. Kogi.
5. Nassarawa
6. Niger.

However, the Middlebelt is a conglomeration of the tribes that are found in the central part of Nigeria. People of middlebelt include most of the tribes mentioned in the 6 aforementioned states plus tribes from parts of the following :

1. Kaduna - Southern part to be specific.
2. Taraba - Jujun etc
3. Kebbi. - Zuru
4. Bauchi
5. Adamawa
6. Taraba.
7. Gombe.

There are a few other tribes I wouldn't be able to mention.

kayfra:
Ilorin, Bida, Gwari, Keffi, Lafia etc




Ilorin, Bida, Gwari, Keffi, Lafia etc Niger, Kwara, Nassarawa etc. All have Fulani emirates

Most of you don't even know or understand the country. Just clueless people all over

saaron:
Forming a stable and successful nation has nothing to do with mineral resources. If that where true, then Japan will still be a third world nation. It also has nothing to do with geographic location ie lack of access to the seas and ocean. Of that were true, then Switzerland will still be a developing country.
All that is required in forming a stable nation is the 'Will' to form a govt that reflects the wishes of the people.
If a nation is born and the people have no impute on how their govt will be formed then that nation will never be stable - Case in point Nigeria.
It's very critical that the people of a new born nation be involved in the set up of the govt to avoid domination and concentration of power by a people. For a nation to be truely stable, the govt must be design in such a way that power is balance across all people. A govt where power is balanced across all people in the geographic location is a democratic govt.
A govt that is inclusive, democratic and appreciates differences and diversity of the people will go a long way to establish a stable country.
A govt that is seperated from religion. Seperation of state and religion is a must for a stable nation.
A govt that provides a level playing ground for all people irrespective of their race, ethnicity or religion to grow, develop and advance at their own pace.

If Middle Belt or people from other regions can come together achieve the above, then these nations will be the most stable and prosperous countries ever to emarge out of Africa.

Yohans:
U are joking right

kayfra:
The most organized tribe in the middle belt are the Fulani. They still have that emirate structure to lean on.

iomoge2:
. Guess it became less pronounced after having 2 kids Plus I now dress for my size

kayfra:
Both of them are not viable.

Tiv and Jukun crisis
Ijaw and Urhobo and Itshekiri crisis
Fulani crisis
Etc


They are the reason we still have one Nigeria

tartar9:
All I know is that the SE will be worse than South Sudan if we break up.

parcifal:
Middle belt, as you purported, are not as united in totality. It consists the highest number of people from different ethnic background. Nasarawa state alone can boast of over fifteen different ethnic groups whom, to my knowledge are not Working for the interest of the other. So if they should be made a country, there surely will still be internal power tussles. With proper planning they can survive through agriculture but I doubt that because they are land locked. Niger delta can survive more because aside oil, they have other States like delta state that can support them through agricultural exports. remember they have sea ports.

Spicycat:
Did i just read "Coming to the Niger Delta, they're more developed and educated than the Middlebelt "

@islayer what did you smoke this afternoon? How did you come to this conclusion, what are the criteria used before arriving to this ridiculous statistics, there's only one tribe i Nigeria that speak with such mundane statistics, what a funny fellow

Gift7428:
1. I avoid sex by watching porn. The sex thing makes me feel like you are dusturbing my space.

2. I keep my circle small, too many friends stesses me out.

3. I take only meaningful calls.

4. I am hardly attracted to people but most are attracted to me because of my beauty.

5. I am on Facebook and instagram but hardly do any uploads.

6. I get irritated when people who are not celebrities live their lives on social media. Why do you have to update strangers and not make a dime from it?

7. Only family members and few friends are aware of my birthday.

8. I hate too much attention.

9. I can only be extra friendly when it involves business. After then, my mouth becomes closed.

10. I avoid reading whatsapp chats immediately to avoid long chats.

Osagyefo98:
Osita married from Benin....which is not advisable anyway.


It is always advisable you marry from your state..

Such marriages shouldn't be holding at all and must be frowned upon...


That's why I don't blame Amaka's parents entirely on her loss though the child must be retrieved from Ibrahim by any means possible and renamed from Zaeed.

The boy shouldn't be answering Zaeed because Ibrahim don't have any right over him.


Anyway Ndikelionwu should approach the girls family to bring Osaretin back if not let the younger brother to king Ike ascend the throne.

iomoge2:
Reading this makes me realize I am sort of an introvert

I never pick calls except it’s business related
Told my then fiancée and now hubby never to call me but chat,text or visit. Nigga thought it absurd. He learnt to do as I wanted and now I have started picking his calls.lol

I never used to go to events.
It was more of a feeling of low self esteem I guess.
I feel too busty for a young lady as people stare at me a lot
Cloths I love won’t just fit
Not having the latest cloths and shoes too makes me not attend events
But recently I see myself gunning to attend events and I am always ready to dance not minding who is watching. Lol

20 room edifice? Even billionaires dont build dt. Is it a hotel or a home?

If u have the money to build dt, then getting a solar panel system that covers the whole thing should be possible.
