What is in power? These northern elements are lazy and their only industry is government. It is just recently I began to see able bodied hausa - fulani doing 'going' or 'okada' they sell carrots, kolanut, tea, suya, etc. I have not seen (I might be wrong) a carpenter or mechanic, mason etc among them. Are they not lazy? Even in about thirty out of fifty years after independence they rule, they only steal money to enrich their privileged few. Their youths are deceived about western education while their emirs and political class send their children to most expensive schools home and abroad.
Their community is filled with filth, human dregs and squalor.
It does not matter GEJ with all his mistakes should continue or look for a sensible 'middle belt' -definitely not of this extraction or ideology-
Candidate to hand over power to. This so called northerners cannot lead us anywhere, they are senseless, and barbaric. Their communities in this age are poorest in nigeria. Imagine people that cannot give names and address numbers to their streets. No matter how many bombs they throw under whatever guises to hell with cheats.
Period.

afam4eva, you are a fool like ZIK was once. Awo saw farther and clearer than ZIK and put mechanisms in place to build his own people. This is real symbol of leadership: ability to know how to make profit in a deal and pursue it to your own benefit. ZIK's short sightedness earned Igbos civil war in many more of his people died than those whose revenge started the war. Till today Igbos want Biafra. Kudos to Ojukwu who saw things differently. To be honest, when are we going to have an Igbo president? Who will allow him. The northern elements that foster hot bitterness against them? If Nigeria break up today Igbos will be worst losers - the big investments, businesses outside their region etc. How many northerners have edifices in other parts of the country as southerners have is the north? The schools, hotels, hospitals, supermarkets etc.

Every nationalist is a fool and if you are, you are a bigger fool building on mistake of others. No doubt about it, they were sincere and honest and accommodating in their ideology. Only that they were.sincerely Wrong. The north has been consistent and pursued their agenda of rulership and islamising Nigeria when an emir will replace in Onitsha or awujale in ijebu - Ode. BH bombing is a campaign toward that as the jihad of uthman Dan Fodio before colonial era. Any self acclaimed nationalist is a self deluded one no matter what age or status he is simply a fool in his own paradise.

OBJ is the biggest fool Yorubaland has ever produced if he is a true Yoruba man. First of all he is using his power to suPport a non - existent Nigeria. The founding father merely. Agreed to one Nigeria because they were fighting a common enemy: British colonial masters. Shortly after, their true beliefs and values led to civil war which success would have ended Nigeria dilemma.
Secondly, it is OBJ that has rubbished the institutions built by ingenuity of great Yoruba leaders like AWo and his group, the values that have put sw in leadership position forget about who occupies ASO rock. Even. Now the legacy of awo still speaks today. Legacy of his counterparts? I think there is nothing phenomenal.
OBj gave away the sweat of his people and religious belief to federal government: the missionary schools, the liberty stadium, OAU in Ile - Ife to mention a few, the attempt to replace free education to his moribund ' qualitative education', his alliance to his northern brothers who suppress their own people criminally to make them dregs of Nigeria society in their Poverty Development Party. He can only be leader in an unorganised global Nigeria not a sophisticated, organised SW. Is he not a fool?

The best for us is separation. What we fear about outcome of separation is mere illusion. The numerical size or size of land of or natural resources in a nation does not determine her strength or prosperity: England is a living example she colonised about a quarter of the world, Japan is another. The size of India has not reduced her poverty. The oil rich nations in the world are the poorest and pitiable except USA (though having the biggest oil wells) whose economy depend on her people's brain and productivity like other developed nations.
Most developed nations speak one language and appreciate a common culture: nigeria is a tower of babel.
The developed world control their birth but the underdeveloped world have no restraints - they put their fate on religious bigotry not on common sense. So is the proposed Arewa republic. They will be forever retarding the progress of a united Nigeria. While one part is getting its people educated the north campaign for ignorance and its attendant squalor and wretched. Boko Haram is a present force campaigning for islamic country with sharia that has never benefited any nations practising it. Where are the glories of Egyptian, Babylonian, median, Persian empires? Sharia came and crippled the once fertile minds of their people and the reign of their islamic civilisation is fondly remembered today as 'dark ages' of history.
Step up the campaign and let break the yoke of a people with no plan for a better future. God bless the proposed Oodua Republic.
