Couldn't agree with him more; give them their Biafra and let them get out.

No wahala; dog eating dog.

However; this piece from the article is an interesting revelation.

"It was learnt that the rally had been scheduled for Monday to counter the planned one-million anti-government protest originally organised by a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain and former Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Kelechi Nwagwu."

Now we are slowly seeing the unmasking of their behind the scene sponsors.

Let them come and blame this one too on Fulani herdsmen.

LOL, very soon all this our oyel mentality will soon die off.

Ppl falsely taking credit for producing the oil but in actuality doing nothing other than lazily sitting under the mango tree sipping Sapele water; while looking down on others and calling them parasites will they themselves soon become the next parasites, begging for unity much in the same way their next door noisy cousins are presently doing - karma is a b!tch, the greedy wicked trap catcher is going to be caught by his own trap.

Kanu was groomed to blackmail Nigeria, particularly the north and it backfired.

His greatest mistake was to try to outshine and overthrow his masters.
Now that he has outgrown his usefulness; the battle line for supremacy has been drawn and they are coming out for him with guns blazing.

Imagine threatening governors, senators, reps and their thugs with no election - and expecting them to give up their juicy jobs without a fight; LOL, who is he kidding?

Folks should just sit back and watch how they will be each others heads and exposing themselves in the newspapers.

Nowenuse:
Yes, the northern region is a legal entity but Arewa is not a legal entity, it is a figment and coinage of Hausa-fulanis.

The Southern region is also a legal entity, but that doesn't make all Southerners one people or speak with one voice. Yorubas, Igbos and Niger-deltans all answer their own fathers name and speak for only themselves!

Igbos speak for Igbos, Yorubas speak for yorubas and Niger-deltans speak for only Niger-deltans.
So, henceforth, Hausa-fulanis should start speaking for themselves alone.

Middlebelters can be legally part of the northern region but it is not compulsory for us to answer the same father's name with Hausa-fulanis. We must not speak with one voice. We must not belong to the same socio-cultural organizations.

Very soon, we the youths of the middlebelt will protest against our elders and governors associationg with any Arewa group! However, those who still want to join are free, but we will let them know that they are speaking for themselves alone! And not the people of the middlebelt!

Having clearly explained (within the 1st sentence of my post) that Arewa a.k.a. north a.k.a. Northern Region are synonyms of the same thing and further reiterated that anyone not happy with the union is free to go - I am therefore at a loss as what you still want me to say.

BTW, note that under the old regional system there was no such thing as southern region but rather the southern part of Nigeria, as it were, comprised the following federating units: Western, Eastern and Mid-Western Regions.

Meanwhile, you are free to sit back and wish away whatever you want against the realities on the ground (that's your own prerogative); however, try and get your facts right before you speak and stop pls arguing like someone who nature had dealt a wick blow and exchanged his brain with that of a donkey - it is really embarrassing.

Nowenuse:
Outdated abokii, we are no longer in the 1st republic or colonial period. A northern Nigerian federating government has died!
We now have only our states as federating units and the people of any groups of states are free to identify themselves however they please!

All Southerners are Southerners by political classification, but the Biafra (Igbo identity), Oduduwa (yoruba identity) and Niger-delta (South-south minorities identity) remains unique.
Everyone must know where his father's compound begins and ends when it comes to socio-cultural identification.

Stop being a unity beggar! Are you hausa-fulanis cursed parasites who cannot survive without parasitizing others? Why can't you be concerned about the affairs of Hausa and fulani land alone?

You must have not only failed JAMB but also basic comprehension; look at you repeating exactly the same position that had already been painstakingly explained to you - as though you understood absolutely nothing from it; what a shame, common comprehension sef you no sabi!

How also ironical that you should be calling me outdated; yet in the same breath still be clinging on to the same outdated nomenclature of the old regions - a case approbating and reprobating at the same time.

If you had any sense and had carefully read my posts you would have realised that I was only arguing on the legality of the middle belt as a federating unit; and contrary to your assertion I was never begging or appealing to anybody for unity but advancing the freedom of any unhappy party to walk away - so stop talking rubbish - yet again another example of your embarrassingly failed comprehension.

deomelo:
The conference was conducted regardless of Tinubu's opinion, but obviously, it was nothing but a waste of time and resources as Tinubu rightly suspected.

What happened after the conference? Nothing

Where is the report? No report

Implementation by the implementation committee nko? No show


End result of the conference? Rubbish, waste of time, waste of resources and the usual scam by Jona and his looting gang.

Indeed it was.

LOL, I just dey laugh at the gullibility of these ppl.
If dem lucky dem fit comot waka with their properties on top of their flattened heads.

Not surprised at all, these developers would betray anybody including selling their own mothers when it comes to money.

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has come after the National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu for bowing out of the call for a national sovereign conference which he once championed during the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Kanu was speaking when he played host to both foreign and local journalists at his home in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, Daily Post reports.

He said, “There was once agitation for a national sovereign conference. If you listen to Bola Ahmed Tinubu today, you won’t know that Bola Ahmed Tinubu was a leading figure asking for a sovereign national conference. Once they get into power, they forget because they are not principled.
“Anybody asking you to support one Nigeria doesn’t love you. If you read history, no one will like to be called one Nigeria.

“Whenever anyone tells you to support one Nigeria, tell the person to tell Prime Minister of Britain to support one EU.“

“Naturally human being will always agitate when they feel they are not at the right place. For instance, when a baby reaches nine months it starts agitating from the stomach.

“It starts finding ways to come out and when the mother refuses to open her legs for it to come out it dies, is that not so?”

YNAIJA

Ignorant bigot, if I recall correctly, Bola Tinubu was among the dissenting voices clearly against the 2014 national confab because he deemed it a waste of time.
The albino bigot must have been shooting his mouth off head as usual.

Mujtahida:
What does it take to make any entity legal? For non human entities to become juristic (recognised by law) all that is needed for it is for it to be registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission as an association with Trustees. And you think that a man of Jerry Gana's stature will form a forum like this and not have it registered under part C of the Companies and Allied Matters Act Cap c20 LFN 2004.
Are you aware that as far back as Pre indepence era there was a political party called United Middle Belt Congress (UMBC) that was formed by JS Tarka and Solomon Lar to press for the political aspirations of the minorities in the middle belt?
Do we have ipobs in the North too. Cos all this kind of talk coming from you reminds me of ipobs and the South South minorities.

Yet another one who must have also failed JAMB.

Pls go back to my post and note how I tried (obviously in vain) to draw attention to the fact that a political party and a geopolitical land mass are not and cannot be the same.

In the 1st Republic the country was made up of legally backed geopolitical subdivisions of the regions and provinces; while today's equivalent are the states and local governments - the middle belt was never and still isn't anyone of them, pls get this straight.

It is sheer stupidity and ignorance to therefore equate any of the above, which draw their legality from the constitution, with a mere party or even an association register-able under an ordinary government agency - kindly know what you are talking about before embarrassing yourself in public.

Mujtahida:
Ohhhhhhhhhh stop this your posturing. I dare you to show me where any of the so called geo political regions exist as a matter of law in any of our existing body of laws . They are all - to use your fine phrase - mere geographic reference. Alex Ekwueme it was who propounded the principle of the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria during the 1994 Constitutional Conference convened by Abacha. Among the political parties only PDP entrenched it in its constitution. PDP constitution is not Nigerian Law.

This is how some of you fail JAMB and ignorantly blame the village witch doctor.

Kindly show me where in my posts I may have even remotely made reference to any of the geopolitical zones let alone legitimised them?

On the other hand, your obvious shortcoming only succeeded in further upholding my position - meanwhile pls note that comprehension is a basic requirement in effective communication, better do something about yours; because you are clearly having difficulty comprehending my posts.

Roski1:
By the time plateau, Benue, southern Kebbi, Taraba, southern kaduna(Gurara), kogi, southern Borno, parts of nassarawa, adamawa, southern Baluchi and Gombe become properly organized as middle belt, the few states in the north will understand that no region has the power to oppress anyone. How I wish we can return to regional system of government so that the middle belt can fend for itself from its resources as well as other regions. Too bad for what will remain of the north. Maybe wuna go sell ur cows pay salaries.

As already mentioned, the core north is not afraid of a break up nor will it succumb to cheap blackmail from any section; therefore who ever feels the need to dissociate is free to go - very much like we are willing to allow the Igbos go.

BTW, should the country revert to regionalism; then you ppl will all be part of north as you used to be, because the middle belt never existed except theoretically - so you better understand what you are praying for.

Nowenuse:
Yes arewa means north in hausa, so it should be restricted to Hausa land!

Idomas, Igalas, Ebiras, Tivs, Eggon, Beroms, Gbagyis, Bassa, Jukuns, Ngas, Kataf, Nupes and all of us are no longer interested in your Arewa. How hard is this for your coconut hausa head to take?

The middlebelt tribes now want to take their destinies in their own hands.
Hausas and fulanis should speak for hausa n fulani land alone! Period!

You must be walking around with your brain in your pocket; so get this straight.

The Northern Region a.k.a. north or Arewa was a legally backed geographical entity, which included the lands inhabited by all the tribes you mentioned; while the so called middle belt never was and still isn't but continues to remain a mere geographical expression, a concept yet to be actualised - much like Biafra.

Presently, your representatives; governors, youth leaders etc are full members and participants in the ACF; likewise the Kaduna Declaration issued by a coalition of Arewa youths was comprised of and involved the full participation of your own representatives - incidentally whose involvement or participation in the coalition have so not been disowned by any individual or group from the so called middle belt.

The likes of Gerry Gana (a mere been) are nothing more than wasted political jobbers angling for prominence and relevance on the basis of cheap ethnic and religious sentiment, who represent a mere minority rather than from the majority of political heavy weights of significance - very much like Kanu/IPOB's quest for Biafra is representing a growing vocal minority rather than the silent majority of Igbos and political heavy weights of the SE.

Finally, much in the same vein with the Arewa declaration; be rest assured that core northerners are not unity beggars and remain resolute in leaving the door opened to any co-traveller wishing to walk out of the union at any time; therefore if you guys elect to leave; by all means feel free to also take the hike along with the Igbos.

I have been quite all these while not for lack of words, buh for my tendency of being verbose.....@ dz point I must say dz is preposterous. SINCE DZ BUHARI's ADMINISTRATION STARTED, THERE HAVE BEEN HIGH RATE OF CRIME DAY BY DAY....pls APC was dz really d change u guys meant?

Stop spamming the forum with the same content of stupidity - note you in violation of rule no.18 against spamming.

Kathmandu:
Joseph Tarka started a Middle Belt party in the 60s because they see the Hausa Fulanis as parasites. Today the Middle belt have their own identity and have a lot of groups to identify themselves.



Stop being beggars. The middle belt is different from you people. Cc kyase coptic Terkimbi malton

Pls apply common sense to what you just wrote and explain to me since when does a party translate being a legitimate region or sub-region of the country? - you could say the same for the Niger Delta since there
are equally ppl identifying themselves as Niger Deltans; yet in reality it remains a mere geographical reference or expression without legal backing; same as the Middle Belt.

Link, make I see am.

No legal entity as middlebelt? Is there a legal entity as Arewa?

Yes, Arewa means north in Hausa - read and get educated.

Ipob has killed'one north'
Arewanistan with vvf, desert, almajiri, laziness, shara, boki haram is a rat that has eaten poison.

If you believe that then you must believe in fairy tales - I have already dealt with that issue in my previous post; check them up for your guidance pls.

Kathmandu:
Arewa is different from Middle Belt

So says ignorant you: note, there had never been any legally known entity such as the Middle Belt in the history of Nigeria - ignorance is a disease; try and get some education before you join issues with ppl far above your level; but since you said so, then try to explain why are their governors, their youths and others are full members and participants in the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF)? - anyway, when the push comes to the shove; they know where they belong.

newbornmacho:
No oooooo, capital NO. Arewa youth must carry out their threats. See aboki being clever by half. Unity beggars seeking to retain the middle belt, and oil wells. Kikikiki so aboki dey fear How about the mop up? Ipob and others have insisted on events like the sit at home that apparently flogged Hausa Fulani so much, including calling for election boycott, so why really did arewa change their mind? Don't tell me nonsense about elders. Did the elders ever support ipob ? Nonsense. The truth is that The unity begging Hausa Fulani suddenly saw the prospect of barren arewanistan with no resources, no teachers, no doctors, no sea, polio in extremis, sharia madness, Islamic terrorism, hostile middle belt neighbors, almajiri epidemic, lazy adult population, VVF scourge, barren neighbors like Niger and chad, encroaching desert, no NYSC to exploit, listing as a state sponsor of terror, trials at the Hague for fools like Ango abdullahi, and a rapid descent to failed state status unrivalled even by Somalia. Their governors went into over drive to disown the youth, even ganduje dashed Igbo's automatic indigenship! I can tell you that they discovered they played a bad hand and are now cowardly chickening out, we say NO. You must enforce that ultimatum. Useless boko youths. So you now think the elders speak for the youth?
Cc fulanmafia, fizznation, itsmeaboki, APC123 et al

Stop ranting like a rabid dog, just check out where the highest population of parasitic Igbos reside in the north; perhaps you may then begin to understand why your leaders turned to overnight unity beggars and suddenly ready to throw your Mazi Kanu under the bus.
Notice how everybody never took the noise makers of SE seriously or felt threatened; until when Arewa made its declaration; that was when everybody started running helter skelter suing for peace and unity - this should tell you that when Arewa sneezes then others catch cold.

Kathmandu:
MiddleBelters said they don't know Hausa Fulani. Respect their opinion for once. Cc Kyase, coptic

Note Arewa has already made its position clear (right from the 2014 confab, by the Lamido of Adamawa) anyone is free to go back to his papa house; we are not unity beggars - unlike the cannibalistic parasitic beasts from the east with their flattened coconut heads.

greatiyk4u:
In other words he is begging for one Nigeria....


With the numerous ethnic groups in the Middle belt zone, I don't think this man can authoritatively dictate for them


The Muslim in those zone may decide to do otherwise

Don't mind him, he is merely begging for relevance; having already backed the wrong party (PDP) and the wrong faction (Markafi) and lost; he is now seeking for another platform he can ride to politically re-launch himself.
In any case. the core north is not afraid of division; anyone knows his father's house and can waka alone when the time comes.
Besides, the Kaduna Declaration was by a coalition of northern youths, including the so called Middle Belt - he must obviously be out of touch with the youths of they were representing .

Kathmandu:
The Middle Belt denying Arewa means the Hausa Fulani will go back to Neanderthal age

I don't see them going back to eating other human beings as currently some evil human beasts do - that's as backward as anyone can go.

Rokaa:
The educated south.

Beasts of the East

Rokaa:
Lol. And for our governors with meagre IGR's to increase their efforts in diversifying their sources of income to be able to move their states to greater heights. To rid themselves of the lazy attitude of waiting for chicken change from the FG before making any positive impact on their subjects.

That statement applies to every leader of influence in the country.

Friendng fizznation danmaiduguri nafeesaAA [b]meaboki [/b]kyase furrr jamislaw

That the northern governors are steadily investing in their ppl; while their chest beating counterparts are busy looting away their common wealth and deceiving their resentful hateful ppl that the north is largely responsible?

[/b]"From all indications, the Fulani have been stigmatised as result of constant killings alleged to have been perpetrated by the herdsmen (cuts in)
The Fulani have been stigmatised; the herdsmen have also become a brand for all manner of criminals. In Benue State, we have seen a situation where there is ethnic provocation and fight and they have used the name Fulani herdsmen as a basis to cover up the various crimes the security agencies have been able to prove in some instances there. When there was a problem with the Agatu, some people said 500 Agatu were killed. How do you kill 500 people and no one was arrested? So, these are some of the challenges we have been getting and we hope that security agencies would be able to deal with the situation."[b] Can we all see the more reason why Nigeria is and will forever remain a shithole with morons like this man? .That is how the living-dead Buhari said the marauding & destructive Fulani herdsmen are natives of Mali & Niger violating the sovereignty of Nigeria but can't be apprehended by the zoo's security agents
@ Topic-So the backward emir expects the servitude to continue Unity in Nigeria only means when the north is in power.We can't and won't continue this way.

You call ppl backward; yet if you were not so backward yourself, you would have easily realised from the man's unmissable clearly provided political profile, at the beginning of the article, that he was in fact not an Emir but a Junior minister in the Yar Aduwa govt.

Likewise, you would have also noticed how the man was cleverly coaxed into making the Fulani statement by the the interviewer's own loaded question, which presumed that the Fulani were stigmatised in the first place - unfortunately, your bigotry has rendered you blind, unreasonable and apparently incapable of basic English comprehension.
