Who are the we please speak for yourself and are you not ashamed that the people kept in the country are far better than you.

No problem, so long as we are powerful enough to continue to frustrate your age-long ambition, no worries.

Gbagura:
But you the capital HQ of the world loves naijeriya the way it is? Your eyes go soon clear that Nigeria will break and e go be like magic. Your region will be worst than Haiti and Yemen combined.

We've been hearing this since 60s,and yet Nigeria is still intact.. What an illusive dream.

nzeobi:
Only a northerner can explain this or maybe they're scared of what the future holds for them

Yess ooo, and we're so powerful to have kept you guys in Nigeria for so long

Gbagura:
Intact but stagnant right? Pray your life should go the way Nigeria has been since 1960.

You've never been to other Countries, hence your inference. When other Countries are struggling to survive, Nigeria is still standing tall, both in Africa and the rest of the world.

Meanwhile, go and edit the title of the thread. It should read "Why Do Northerners". Thanks.

415volt:
Help us ask them oooo.
Is it by force to stay together as one?
Probably they know that once we split they won't be able to send them abokis down south to beg.

Let's divide this strata

Without a host parasites will die.

Yes ooo, it is by force... You guys are not yet ripe for independence

Gbagura:
I've been following conversations on social media and the only region that wants this country to remain one are the northerners. Why are they hell bent on one Nigeria? Can't they survive on their own? Are they happy with epileptic power, bad roads, unemployment etc. 97% of them want Nigeria to remain the way it is for reasons best known to them. They prefer to die than allow Nigeria break. If it's not really favoring them, they won't want to die on top one Nigeria.



Leeches, they are!

Because they were the ones the colonial masters handed over power to. In other words, they are the keepers of Nigeria, and the Great Britain counts on them, because they know, they can, and so far, they've not let them down. Nigeria is still intact, 60 years after.

This supremacy war between Dokubo and Kanu is quite interesting.

MTK shit for 200k+ phone Tecno no get sense.

Catch them young

SlyfoxxjReturns:
Then you don’t understand the meaning of the word grateful. You can’t be grateful for something that is your right.

Using the word ingrate suggests Nigeria has given them some special treatment that other tribes don’t get and they are not appreciative of that.

Besides what has this country given other tribes generally? Is it this same Nigeria we are talking about? Lmao.

They are ingrates because they were the first ethnic group to have truncated civilian Government, after Nigeria's successful acquisition of independence.... Independence is something worth celebrating, and already the Country was on the path to progress, when the INGRATES struck.

Abi you don't know that son?

SlyfoxxjReturns:
Yoruba. What does that have to do with anything you damn tribalist.

Answer the question, what do the Igbo's need to be grateful to Nigeria for? For giving them the right to breath or for not completely wiping them out during the war or for what exactly?

Nigeria has given them every damn thing it gave other regions. Tell me on thing it gives one region that it didn't give them.

SlyfoxxjReturns:
First of all I’m not Igbo

Secondly you haven't answered the question. What has Nigeria done specifically for the Igbos that they should be grateful for? You are the one that suggested they are a separate entity from Nigeria by using the word “ingrate” as if Nigeria has done something special for them that it hasn’t done for other tribes.

If we are all equal citizens with equal rights under the same government, then why should only Igbos feel a special sense of gratitude to Nigeria?

Or maybe you’re just an illiterate that does not understand the meaning of The words he uses.

Mention your ethnic identity before we continue.

Lagoon0:
The one Mohammed photocopied

Ohhh... You mean that piece of trash, produced at a corner shop in Rome?

Lagoon0:
You'll soon disappear . thats what the bible says.

Which of the Bibles? The one that is being updated almost every year?

SlyfoxxjReturns:
lol what has Nigeria done for Igbos that they should be grateful for? You people just use words sha.

Making it sound as if Igbos are a separate entity from Nigeria... Very myopic set of people. Igbo elders and youths think the same way. Age doesn't make you guys view the world through a different prism.

SlyfoxxjReturns:
lmao. Buhari was never on the frontlines of any war. You must be confusing him with Obasanjo. Tell me the platoon he led if you are so sure.

He led platoon phyton.

SlyfoxxjReturns:
lol. Someone that is shouting “Zoo animals” at all his jailers.

He’s not a coward like Buhari. It’s like you’ve forgotten the first time he was jailed.

Buhari has never run for his dear life, even during Biafran war. He stood and gave it hot hot to those ingrates.

CSTRR:
I can imagine the beating they must have given that guy.

The North hates him with passion.

And the South loves him with passion, so the equation is balanced.

TheSupleemLeada:
You brought no counter agruements or anything sensible. I may be a kid but you're an adult with an underperforming brain: garbage in=garbage out.

Some things are not worth responding to. Thanks for confirming my suspicion. Only a kid can reason the way you did, so there's no need engaging you on that.

TheSupleemLeada:
You're funding the oppressor anytime you buy cow meat, they don't buy your beer but destroy it and still take taxes on it yet you buy their meat which comes from a cow that has destroyed the farm land of your kinsmen and funds violence against your people, you're a stupid southerner.... southern governors need to regulate meat markets.
Boycott fulani meat.

With this reasoning, you're obviously a kid... Go and do more productive things, please.

mrvitalis:
Hausas have population why not vote one of you , this is the best time to start an hausa movement , the rest Nigeria would back u

Our eyes done open ,gone are the days we blamed you for fulani evil ...stand up take your land

You know it's very hard to change the status quo. But should I become the Governor of my State, I'd personally dethrone the emir and install a Hausa man, to see if the heavens would fall.

mrvitalis:
North is your land , it's your duty to stand up take up your land and protest those minorities that look up to you

Fulanis are not from here that's why they hide under u guys when it's time but Lord over you when it's politics ...u guys have the number

I've updated my earlier comment.

mrvitalis:
When would u hausa raise up and take up your land back ...when would u have saki instead of emirs

Well, that issue of having only Fulani emirs ruling over the North is quite unfortunate. They made it impossible for a Hausa man to rule over our lands, as all the emirs are now Fulanis. I don't know how they managed to make it that only Fulanis can rule over Kano now.... When in actual fact, that stool was hitherto occupied by the Hausas, being a Hausa town.

However, the Constitution has made them submissive to the Government of the day, hence a sitting Governor can effect a great change that weakens their authority. That is why to a large extent, I'm happy with the balkanisation of the Kano emirate.

Jbleenk:
You are mistaking. Even if a southerner takes over from Buhari, the agenda is already on ground and it has been so way before now. It may take many more years to achieve but it has been established. It’s very glaring. Nothing short of a disintegration will truncate it.

Lolz

mrvitalis:
This one is still dreaming Google how fulanis are taking over ethnic land in north Central then u go understand

Buhari mandate was to secure RUGA settlements in every state in Nigeria ,...most of this would serve as spring board which would later be created as LGA or province by the next fulani leader in 30 to 50 years time

I don't need to google anything cos I was born and lived my whole life in the North, so why should I rely on some information on Google that has been blown out of proportion? Tell me a single land that the Fulanis took over in the North.

In as much as I don't like the Fulanis, even though I'm Hausa, I sincerely believe that this Fulani issue is being blown out of proportion. I know that most of them are inherently wicked, that's why I hate them, but the prevailing Fulani phobia is totally unwarranted.

mrvitalis:
What fulanis don't get is ...even with army and police at their back with Nigeria weaponry they still don't stand a chance when it's becomes too obvious

They are too uneducated and don't have the capacity to take over Nigeria ...the might at best over run Nigeria ...but holding the position is a no no

What a fantasy... You fantasise a conspiracy and funnily, you're the one engaging yourself over the same fantasy...

You guys have an unwarranted phobia for the Fulanis, and funny enough, the Fulanis constitute only a minute percentage of the Northern population.

Buhari's mandate would expire by 2023, let's see how long this conspiracy theory would go, should a Southerner take over from him.
