Well I pretty much think this is a statement of fact. The problem in the Niger Delta would have been the reason why the government took this kind of measure this time around, so that it would serve as a justification for the action they would take on the Niger Delta militants that would refuse to lay down arms after the time given for the amnesty elapse, I know where this is going. Is not possible not to see that this problem came up because Sharia law was allowed in the north, if they are serious about this problem they would have started by scrapping sharia law in a country that is supposed to be secular state.

Boy, you first me on this one. Damn, you reason like a Nobel laurette. All the mumus wey dey this forum no go even think of reasoning why this particular action was taken against those moronic mohhamed sects.

davidylan:
the government isnt interested in getting to the nucleus of the problem . . . didnt the president head off to brazil while the north was still burning? They dont care . . . a few dead bodies, quiet returns to the north and everyone looks away until the next riot.

davidylan:
i think the government had already determined they wanted him dead. they are not interested in prosecuting a case.

lol you make it seem as if biafra will solve the problem. even if there is biafra won't there be several states? the quota system will still be in place! it will then become a war between states. etc

Islam is a peaceful religion? Like they say. LMAO
The Talibans in Nigeria should know that this is diverse nation not like Pakistan (Islambad-asses), Saudi or Iran, where they all predominantly Muslims. They need to stop listening for clowns called clerics overthere that only preach hate all their life. If this ugly move doesn't get checked it might lead to a large sectarian violence. You don't want western education? If you want Nigeria to break up, maybe it's high time! But be warned, I don't want any Igbo people to comment on my comment. With that being said, I have defeated you secessionist ideology.

it is not a suprise why the capital of Pakistan is aptly named Islama[b]bad[/b]. it might mean abode of peace in Arabic but i know it means islam is bad. bunch of animals called muslims.

naijaking1:
How about christian solidarity
Somehow, the northern christians are the most docile group of people I have ever seen. Teaming up with south christians will not be worse than what they get at the moment----- denial of religious rights, forced conversion to islam, prosecution and homicide under the name of a pervase religion. The northern christian is not even able to build his church on his own land, yet there is unrestricted proliferation of mosques everywhere.

I seriously think that Southerners are much better off settling their problems (especially Igbo vs Yoruba), so that we can leave these sharia mongers to themselves. This madness doesn't manifest amongst the Muslims in Western Nigeria, there is something wrong up North.
Everything thats happening in Nigeria right now just portends very serious problems. It will be easier for the South to unite as one country and prosper.
Imagine society that can produce animals who are willing to die for a cause, which is to remain uneducated! Damn

If theirs is a possibility of true reconciliation in the South then it would be advisable to polarize the country, this madness can't go on for ever, the smartest thing to do is to push for southern solidarity, though we are most of the time at each others throat on the Internet, but in reality it does not get that nasty, we should do something drastic or this guys in the north would take us all down with them, smarten up people.

Fhemmmy:
Thanx

Fhemmmy:
Inasmuch as i love this.
I hope they will test it well to make sure it is not another dead trap.
But starting from somewhere is not bad at all

Fhemmmy:
Anything without tribalism is not Nigerian trademark i guess

Kobojunkie:
Contracts are implied. I mean if it was that great, majority of the communities in the north would be at least middle class. That ain't the case at all.

[quote]The overall people of Northern Nigeria are not poor because of lack of infrastructure but because of insufficient level of personal struggle and dependence on hand out{aka connections} from Nigerian government which unfortunately gets to only but few that becomes our celebrated billionaires.

samparian:
Pure and simple. You are 100% correct.

This is the difference between europians and africans.

Considering that even when individuals leave the shores of nigeria and move out to foreign lands, corruption seems to follow, I think it is highly likely that there will continue to be the problem of widespread corruption no matter how small we decided to slice and dice those people. Currently. at the local and state levels Ibos, Yorubas, Ijaws and others steal from their own flesh and blood. I am not sure how anyone would expect that practise to change considering one can say they already rule themselves now and that has yet to stop em.

I have labored to put forward the definition of a Nation or Country on this forum according to Webster. I also alluded to the high degree of propensity among Africans to imitate Europeans. Why has the issue of caving up Africa into nations of similar ethnical and cultural identity not attracted to Africans?

It is no doubt that Europe is caved up into countries or nations according to ethnicity and culture of the people. Recent examples included the exit of USSR, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. Why should certain Nigerian peeps twisted out of human form on hearing that an ethnic group or organization is agitating for independent sovereignty out of the cesspit called Nigeria?

Can someone please inform me in no uncertain terms the reasons that formed instigation of continued nurturing of colonial contraption called Nigeria or the fear of its disintigartion?

I find that very hard to believe because your statement there sounded more like the myth that most in the south believe of those in the North, which I know is not true.

Majority of those in the north live and die in poverty; The rich get richer while the poor next to no chances of every rising out of their miserable situation. The rich marry people in their class while the poor, without connections, live outside and get the worst of it all.

without connections, live outside and get the worst of it all

If you are honest,

Becomrich:
so asari mean na only the number we need. real they are not our enermy, but they are the one that are abusive toward us. And i wonder why they cant stop. without they cant never be president. and instead of trying to be our friend. they are abusive towards us. even the northerner are not verbally abusive towards the yorubas like the igbos. cant they get it that because they are abusive to every nigerian and proud that why other nigerian do not want to vote for them.,

SapeleGuy:
Iraq tried but thats besides the point. My point was on population, Iceland has a poulation of 500,000. Kuwait 2,500,000. Therefore Asari's point of 'we need their numbers' doesn't make sense, there must be an ulterior motive.

@WilyWily, even you would attest to the fact that all families are not the same. How exactly can anyone compare Serbia- Montenegro with Biafra -Nigeria? I mean did Montenegro harbor most of Serbia's resources within it's territory?   It would be way way easier for the Notherners to Secede, than it would for Ibos to do that carrying most all the resources that currently fund all of the country with them. Expect a fight to the death here, and I am not talking of me here. I am talking of the most likely reality here.

If the argument is that Biafra-n’s are the majority  in Ibo land, something I SERIOUSLY doubt, what about the rest of the country and their feelings to the ibos wanting to escape from the hell they helped in creating? Not just escape, but escape with most of the countries resources as well as keep their investments in other parts of Nigeria as Biafra-n property? Even a mad man living under the isolo bridge will tell you that will NEVER happen.

@bombay

For how long will you want this your true federalism? Since the past 40 years we are all talking about true federalism but those that will make it happen never listerned to us. Now they want to build trans-sahara pipeline from the gas that comes from ND.
Look my friend demand for your own Niger-Delta country. I sincerely believe that my people is what keeps Nigeria one which is not good for us and our next generation. If ND can come out open like the ibos are doing and demand for soverign country i truely believe something meaningful will come out of it. All the time We keep laughing at the ibos but they know what they are doing. How can we be serving people we are far more better than.
It is high time we demand our own country also let the hausa's answer Nigeria. Its no longer getting funny.
