Why have you been on this Sanusi matter as if your life depends on it?

Seems like his many revelations affected you the most.

Why are you so anti-progress?

Have you no desire to become better?

I bet silencing people is your best form of defence?

God help Nigeria!

paramakina202:
Sorry bro,I am not convinced!

I wasn't looking to convince you.

Just saying!

paramakina202:
Are you sure they've woken up?
Paul Unongo still speaks trash for the North.

He's just one man, bro.

kuuljay:
orkars coup was a success its just that orkar announced seccesion too early thereby causing concussion in his cohorts nobody expected that from him,not even his own guys,and mind you he was drunk too

Okay


Thanks for the clarification. Those were the accounts I was aware of.

DelGardo:
This El-Rufai is really on a different level.

He has all the qualities (vision, integrity, commitment, humility, empathy, candour, courage etc) to become Nigeria president... someday.

Except that the S. Kaduna massacres, his complicity and religious intolerance dent his image a great deal.

He'll find it hard to even become governor again.

Feraz:
Hmmm....seems the same is still happening.

Anyway, now that the middle belt has woken up and most are tired of being grouped with the core north, let's see what becomes of it.

And erm...why didn't he succeed in his coup?

CC Malton.

The coup failed mainly because IBB got tipped off in good time to allow him escape Dodan Barracks with his family. He also enlisted the help of Sani Abacha, the then COAS, who shielded him in the aftermath of the coup attempt.

Other accounts claim that the coup failed due to the assassination of UK Bello, IBB's ADC and Orkar's trusted hand and friend. So emotions got in the way, causing confusion amongst the coup plotters.

Those are the reasons as far as I know, from the accounts I've read.

The fulani herdsmen issue has opened everyone's eyes to current realities. One cannot be too careful of the Hausa/Fulani.

Why always Islam?

Guy, you take this thing personal o.

MrOkekeMunachi:
Your inferiority complex is spilling like a vandalised oil pipeline.

The north has always remained as the North. Even with various tribes and dialects more than the south, they have always managed to put up one political front.

Do we have southern forum as they have nothern Nigeria forum?

While the South-South, Southwest and Southeast have in the past drawn their own national identities distinct from other regions of the south and have at various times called for independence, the North has always remained the North politically. And that's the stand of the OP.

You're as ignorant as you're insecure.

The guy has a point, Mr.

Ogalanyachieze:
imagine what you just wrote. (1Cultural) which culture did you use as yardstick ? The north has more heterogenous culture than south. (2 tribal ) it still has more tribes scattered all over the north. Moreover ur write up was not about tribe or culture its is suppose to be purely economical how come you ended up presenting the north from a cultural view in mind while presenting the south from economic angle. If culture is why the north thrive why did you not include tourism as one of thier economic strength. When next you attemp this thread do your research well dont come to a public forum to insult intelligence. There are very well knowledgable people here. Thank me later

Thank you!

postmann:
I lumped the northern region as a whole unite because of certain considerations - cultural, tribal homogeneity.

There's no such thing as tribal homogeity between the middle belt and the core north. Some middle beltan states understand and speak hausa due to contacts with the hausa civilization. But that's that. They all maintain their individual identities nonetheless.

etzskillz:
some fed uni in d north accepts 2nd choice, u can use Google

Sorry, no federal uni in the north accepts second choice.

Unless of course, you have connections.

PapaBrowne:
We don't have to abolish states to implement regions same way we didn't abolish LGs to implement states.

But without question regionalization is the only way forward.

I was in Kaduna and Kano some months ago. In Kaduna at the central area, you have some tall buildings mostly built in the 60s that depict the glory days of the city. In Kano, you have some wonderful buildings mostly built in the 60s. Then you have numerous warehouses in Bombay industrial layout also from the 60s that indicate that it thrived greatly in an era before this.

There are hardly any new quality buildings in these two cities for the last 40 years.

Isn't it a clear indication that regionalism favored the North and the oil has not benefited it in any way? Why then would its leaders be opposed to

You did travel and visited the mentioned places.

However, it appears like the northerners have become lazy.

Freiden:
If you are not serving in the SW/Eastern part of the country....expect something like this.

You're a joke!

I served in Anambra and experienced same.

FriendNG:
I don't get you. Speak for me as in how? You should rather say, he speak against me. My stand is not the same as Ffk. May be u fail 2 understand my post.

I was referring to Paul Unongo, not FFK.

drealzum:
I will appreciate if you can link me either with number or anything to some one I can get it from in terminus or how I can pay to get it from bauchi to here in Jos since am presently in Jos.
That's why I chose terminus since I will be in jos for the main time.

I'll advise you take the trip instead.

That way, they will attend and thoroughly assess your condition before recommending medication.

Bauchi isn't far from Jos. You can go and return in one day.

But if you insist, pm me for the number.

Alternatively, you can get turmeric at railway, Terminus. Just go where they sell spices.

Stelvin101:
Those of you shouting for breakup are bunch of kids. If there is a breakup then other things will follow. Other things like War, chaos, Conflict of Interest, creation of new government which I believe will bring more serious and deadly war, then there comes the worst of all which is the purchasing power of the new currency in international market . Non of y'all modafuckas wanna experience this in your life time. Trust me, because we all are going to lose loved ones

Another sensible person.

People like you are the reason I haven't given up on Nigerians.

Too many unreasonable people in this country.

Miles300:
They think break up happens over night , they just wake up one morning and issue nonsense statement ! We just go to Skool for nothing in nigeria cos it has not impact , wen u look the kind of statement and reasoning by our leaders then u know why we are backward as a nation

Thank you for this.

I'm surprised at the lack of informed people at all levels.

ettybaba:
Albeit peacefully.

Well, there's no such thing as a peaceful disintegration.

The people calling for it do not know half what it takes neither are they ready for the after effects.

FriendNG:
Guess who is the elder speaking? A Christian from the north.

I thought the useless Ffk and his Yoruba Christian supporters claim they are going with Jos, other north central states and Christian minorities into their new country shall Nigeria divides.

And because he speaks for you, you think he'd go with you?

You're on a long thing.

Jos would rather stand alone than go with you lot.

Who'd save Nigeria from Nigerians?

Roughly 60% Nigerians are culpable in some way.

The high levels of corruption are an indication of the loveless marriage between Nigerians and Nigeria. A person with love of country will never inflict any injuries on her.

Then again, the people don't care for the society because the society (government) does not give rat's ass about them.

To instill love, the government must learn to care for and be compassionate toward the citizenry.

Unless the government finds a way to tackle the root causes, I'm afraid the present system is always going to find some way to spawn more corrupt people.

TheKingdom:
Amaechi having your interest or his interest I beg. For 8 years he did nothing but sabotage his people and his region so that Buhari a coupist can become president. Don't be silly about Peterside

I think you're the one who is being silly. No disrespect to your person.

How could you type the trash above? It's either you're piss poor at maths or grossly ignorant.

When did Amaechi decamp to the APC and when did he and Buhari started parleying?

They were never on the same side and wouldn't have been were it not for the over ambitiousness of one of your own.

Besides, what he did for Rivers State, Wike won't come even close to replicating.

laudate:
How won't those young people on Quora make a sound contribution? They have been exposed to critical thinking, objective analysis, thorough research and enlightened, factual, rational discussions. They have learnt how to use qualitative and quantitative analytical skills, to draw appropriate conclusions. They have learnt how to critically evaluate arguments. Our own young people are busy brainwashing themselves with propaganda, false notions, BBNaija, MMM and tawdry hiphop junk music. Many of them have refused to educate themselves.

See ehn, you've finished talk.

It's really a pity. The young ones here find it hard to rise above student apathy due to the reasons you pointed out. Success to them is defined in terms of passing exam only. They couldn't be bothered about broadening their horizons.

Unfortunately, apathy, low motivation, and laziness means we will continue to churn out chaff in the foreseeable future. The hearts and minds of young people in Nigeria are way too narrow.

laudate:
Ah ok, I apologise for committing this blasphemy. I agree totally with you. Quora and Nairaland are not in the same class...

As in. Sometimes, I feel like weeping each time I see a 13 year old making sound contribution to discourse on Quora.

So because our young ones here cannot make half as good input.

All corners of their heads have already been filled with akpu, hate, and bad behaviour much that there's no space left for sense to enter their brains.

It's a pity.

laudate:
True!! Forget Twitter, when it comes to long discussions. The quality of discourse, articles & viewpoints on Quora is far more engaging, richer in depth & better researched than what you would find on Nairaland.

This comparison is in itself sacrilegious.

You don't mention Nairaland where Quora is.

Some of us are just here to promote our own.

For quality, we know where to look.

Ersan:
And what about the army men from these regions? Are they deaf or paralyzed? Why cant they stand up for themselves and reject english names if it bothers them?


Are there no southerners in the army? northerners dont make all the decisions i assure you. Like i said, they just feel english is superior to their language and therefore prefer it.


The nigerian military which consists of both northerners and southerners is biased because it names operations in the north with hausa and that in the south with english. Are you people even serious? It seems like you lot just go about looking for what to moan about, like i said.... its pathetic.




Then what qualifies you to comment on their feelings or are you just echoing the thoughts of others? Why am i not even surprised though....

Why can't one rule apply to all, though?

You've still not given any satisfactory answers to that.

I've earned the right to comment on the ills plaguing the NA by virtue of my being a Nigerian. I need not come from a particular region to voice concerns over the wrongs done them.

I hope that you see this not as a complaint, but rather as a valid issue worth looking into.

We must learn to treat national issues holistically.

Nawao

Another of those threads again?!

Unna no dey tire?

drealzum:
Thank you. Where do I get it? and how do I use it?

You're welcome.

You'll get in in Bauchi, at the Islamic center. You can get it in Terminus too, but I suggest Bauchi because they have other good anti-inflammatory oils you can combine the turmeric with.

But you may want to check this link out;

https://draxe.com/diy-hemorrhoid-cream/

And about Bauchi, if you are going to go, there's this dealer in medicinal herbs I'd link you up with if interested. Otherwise, you can ask at the Islamic center and they'll direct you on what meds will help with your condition.

He helped a friend suffering from the condition a while back.

Leiman100:
there is no such thing as the middle belt, we the people of North Central are northerners constitutionally and geographically and nothing I mean nothing can change that, all the groups parading themselves as middle belt are creations of some disgruntled element from the south to divide the North but that can never work as the North is unshakably united as is as shown in the result of 2015 presidential election. try another joke

Since when have settlers turned middle belters?

Best go find your roots.

Ersan:
The north has a lingua franca, the south doesn't. If you coin it in one language i'm sure others will feel aggrieved over something this petty.


Like i stated earlier. But in areas where theres a clear majority then you have to show pride in your language and make sure such operations are named in them. I don't expect a northerner to stand up and reject the name because its in yoruba and in most cases your people are responsible for the names. You lot just dont have that mentality, you believe english to be superior to your language, so much so that you speak english even at home. shame!


This is not a serious issue at all in my opinion. It doesnt affect the soldiers or their ability to carry out their duties which is the most important thing. If you had claimed that the north gets better artillery than the south then that would be a serious issue but thats not the case.


Refer to my earlier statement, you need to stand up for your language. You can't blame us for your decadence when you blatantly allow and encourage it.


Nwannem, kai ne dai baka san gaskiya tunda dai kawai kana neman abin da zaka kushe ne.

This is an entirely military issue. It has nothing to do with the civilians occupying the lands where these operations are carried out. This is especially as their inputs were not sought. The military hierarchy makes all decisions.

Unless if standing up for your language means proposing to the army what to codename their operations, I don't see how it's any help.

It's not an issue of decadence, but rather one of proclivity for bias and incompetence on the part of the military.

Plus, I'm not even a southerner; I'm Plateau born through and through.
