So it's Fulani's that took Nigeria backwards...

Keep heaping your problem on a tribe.

Correction Hausa and Fulani have kept us backwards..

Also notice that you couldn't disprove what I said..

You just tried to label it as tribalism lol.

I don't hate Fulani or Hausa, I just think because their culture doesn't value education or hard work they don't make good leaders. Buhari's failed leadership is proof of that..

If Nigeria was maintained as one state but leaders were only chosen on merit (which would exclude most Northerners as they get the lowest examination scores in the nation), then I wouldn't have a problem..

Don't try to conflate logical insights into a specific group as mere tribalism..

Staphylococcus:
Still blaming Fulani?


Damn!

Noticed you went quiet.. Truth does that to liars...

Staphylococcus:
Still blaming Fulani?


Damn!

Yeah Buhari is Fulani and his leadership has been abysmal..

Let's not even talk about the garbage leadership of Abacha, Babangida, Shagari and Buhari as a dictator..

Clown, feigning ignorance won't change the truth that whenever Northerners have ruled the country went backwards..

OBJ paid off the Paris club debt..

The economy grew under Goodluck.. Name one positive development under the leadership of cattle rearers and Islamic fanatics from the Sahel..

There is a reason why the Ashanti and Benin Yoruba banned Fulani and Hausa from their lands..

As I said you simpleton, if Nigeria looked like Japan advanced and developed. Would our people have been scattered to the four corners of the earth to live like beggars in foreigners lands


In truth it is Southerners who have borne the brunt of poor Fulani and Hausa leadership. Having to leave en mass in huge numbers whilst the lazy Northerners took what was left of the carcass of Nigeria for themselves..

Petie33:
I just weep for Nigerians on how they think. because you are opposing the government should not make you hate your country because if Nigeria �� fails today we all fail not only the government but the people too


My very first, ftc thanks to mod

When the government reflects the interests of only one section of the country (the North and its people in this case), then folks have every right to hate and even demand the replacement of said governing class..

Americans threw off the yoke of British rule when they stated clearly no tax without representation. Nigerians have been very understanding in the face of poor governance, increasing insecurity, terrorism, economic decline and severe ethnic nepotism favouring Northerners at every turn.

Their hatred is very understandable

Had they just waited Buhari would have released their compatriots in no time

The product of decades of failed Fulani leadership in Nigeria.

Had decent leaders been in government these poor souls would have been in gainful employment in Naija..

Mtchewww…. As others have said since they have turned to crime, we have no use for them back home..

Obijulius:
Inspite of all his shortcomings the man in Abuja is not the only problem.

This one na southerners de do themself.

The problem of southern Nigeria is its leadership not Hausa/Fulani.

Another Northern apologist..

Isolated bad governance at a local level is one thing.

But it is completely different to ethnic nepotism, corruption and terrorism being practised by the Northern cabal at a national level..

Get outta ere with your comparison.. mtcheww

Penguin2:
See small Benin RepRepublic teaching Kenya how to be an independent country and abide by internationally recognized rule of engagement.

How I wish they will release Sunday Igboho after confirming his passport is not fake.

And look at Buratai addressing Igboho as a terrorist. But I'm pretty sure he won't use same adjective to qualify the bandits rampaging in Northwest and those slaughtering Benue people.

Zombies, please, when was Igboho declared a terrorist?

And who did he kill?

Finally the South has woken up. Some of us understood the Northern Cabal from early on...

DID WE NOT TELL YOU?

Monogamy:
Ajaokuta steel, milking Nigeria since 15BC

LMAO Some of you lot finish me..

Mtcheww compare this to the three storey leviathan they built in Kano and tell me ONE Nigeria..

Wow that’s marina

We need to invest in proper flood defences Japanese style

If we have money for a pointless railway line to Niger for the lifeless one to see his cousins, then we have the money for the most economically important city in Nigeria..

Good riddance…

Litmus:
Ok, my mistake, I thought this thread was about train derailment in Nigeria and how train derailment happens nowhere in the world except Nigeria and that consequently Nigeria is a Joke, shit hole and the rest of it. Also while I support the idea of fencing off railway lines ( in fact I go further by suggesting we not only fence off as much railway line as possible we landscape too) it isn't true that all train lines are fenced off in the UK or US.

Let me be clear bros. I for one hate those who attack naija at every opportunity.

I never said all railway lines were fenced off,but in urban areas they all are. We should do the same and fix any fences that are broken quickly to stamp out the idea a railway line is a place where one can hang around..

IMAliyu:
True, but the Fulani that have settled in the north, and the Fulani that still live in the wilderness, herd cows and migrate (bororo).

Are now two different groups.

One has assimilated into Hausa culture have live lifes they may want to protect, and the other have nothing to lose and everything to gain by causing trouble.

Well that is their own problem, historically a good proportion of Fulani lived a nomadic lifestyle.

Two the very fact this particular Fulani bought land would suggest he or she wants to live a more sedentary lifestyle so I am confused.

This story makes little sense, except to give the impression that there is also concern about herdsmen in the North.

In truth there isn't which is why we have such porous borders in the North and why we have a herdsmen problem in the first place.

Buhari himself said the Fulani in Niger were Kin and went as far as rubberstamping an uneconomic line to Niger..

Sorry no one is fooled.

and this one?

My Naija people and defensiveness sha..

Mtcheww... Does any part of Naija look like Britain or Singapore for that matter..?

Come on now..

PrinceOfLagos:
Nobody wants to associate with Fulani people after all the atrocities they've committed

But most the emirs are Fulani, after they ousted the Hausa and took over after Dan Fodio's Jihad..

wellmax:
You got to be kidding, so there is a fence the entire length of the tracks.

Even here in Nigeria, there are fence at train parks.

Nonsense, stop being defensive, you would never see folks sleeping on the tracks once the train has past or market women setting up stalls.

In Britain lines are shut down when they even suspect a person is on the lines.. Especially with children.. Be honest would they be able to enact such a law in Nigeria as it stands today?

Look I am naija, only if we acknowledge our shortcomings can we improve...

dangoteinlaw:
and if u ask them they will tell u they are developing ikeja, that they came from the land of the rising sun to develop and soon they will start building sky scrapers and donating money to cubana obi.

Aboki, you do realise you are speaking to a man who is half Igbo and yoruba.

Either people have done more than the average Northerner for Nigeria or the foreign countries that they reside in.

What have your people added to Nigeria (given you lot are too lazy to seek work abroad) beyond Islamic Terrorism, Corruption, Rampaging herdsmen and ethnic nepotism which is on full display in your initial post?

wellmax:
Show us where they fence it up in your Western Nation

Sure, in Britain railway fences are common in built up urban areas to protect the public and railway infrastructure.

https://c8.alamy.com/comp/T7T38F/roadway-and-large-fence-by-the-railway-T7T38F.jpg

That line has never been fenced off properly like you see in Western nations.

As soon as the train goes by people set up stalls and even sleep on the line

All it takes is some large debris to derail the train, Nigeria is a joke sometimes

Sammy07:




This is wrong comparison.

Think of when Buhari leaves power and a Yoruba or Igbo president or southern president arrest him and detain him

Think of what,the northerners will do.
They will do worse than this

But the Southern president if he has any balls would arrest Buhari and his cabal. Including defence staff who viewed increased defence budget as a personal piggy bank to be looted..

Regardless of the consequences. Zuma was corrupt as hell, he deserved jail time for his nonsense..

NwaAmaikpe:






If you've never been at the receiving end of the consequences of these fake doctors, you won't appreciate this arrest.

Sadly, majority of the ones we see today in our clinics and pharmacies in Nigeria are mostly quacks, unprofessional or outright fakes.
Small health complaint from a female and they've already asked her to undresss.

One recommended only Ibuprofen when my nephew had gonnorhea. If not for God, that boy would have lost his preek.

The other one who helped me and my girlfriend perform a D&C is now a Chief Medical Director but till today, that lady has been unable to get pregnant because he damaged her uterus.

I don't know if it was God who saved me or I was just lucky that she was not the one I ended up marrying.

100% you can fake some things. But a Doctor?? You mess around with someone's body, they are bleeped up for life..

Devil's in human form..

The irony is that they said he was an Islamic terrorist to get the Kenyans to capture him..

When Buhari himself is the commander in chief of the Islamic terrorists back home

Here we go again.

If you complain about freeing people who have committed treason by taking up arms against their own state, you are accused by certain quarters of hating Northerners.

descarado:
I think they rub something on their bodies.

See dis one..

You do not believe in the spiritual realm..

Shey you've landed? If you have all you claim, then it's a huge shame that you also have this to booth

1. Over-bloated Ego
2. Inferiority Complex - WFT are we going to do about all the stated CV, fake stats and investment claims
3. Lack of Polish - You claim you're educated, yet you come across as brash wannabe
4. Intelligence and Emotional Balance - Your sense of judgement, arguments and submission ain't just it
5. Fear of God - Why derive pleasure in hatred and deriding other human beings because of where they come from?

Don't worry about me. I do not need to splash my "achievements" on NL for some fake accolades.... but one piece of advise - If all these qualification are not fake, nor what you choose to aspire to be, then be grateful for God's gift and be humble with it. You've not achieve anything special yet

I already said I wasnt the best. You asked I told you..

1. I dont have an ego as I love coding and computers that is all. I have loved programming since I was a child
2. Inferiority complex, hardly. I have led teams with Europeans, Indians, Chinese and even Jews. I have explained to other Nairalanders many times, that we shouldn't look up to other groups as we are just as capable as them
3. I haven't used any expletives or denigrated you in anyway. So that is just a strawman because you are triggered and getting emotional
4. Intelligence I think I am bright enough, I have gone to decent universities and colleges and competed comfortably with the best of them.
5. I already said I don't have malice towards to Northerners, I only said we shouldn't share a nation. I don't see why you are so upset?

Additionally the fact that terrorism, herdsmen banditry and ethnic nepotism have their origins in Northern populations isn't hatred it is fact.

I have done exactly what I have cited and nothing more. Feel free to ask me about the finer points of object orientated programming languages, why Java still is relevant for multi-threaded applications or about financial products and events such gamma squeeze which stems from increasing use of options by retail traders.

I am what I am, if it upsets you. That is your issue, not mine.

Not achieved anything yet? even amongst the Caucasians in the west, my achievements has put me in the 1% socioeconomically, so I am happy with that...

Beyond throwing insults do you have anything meaningful to add to this conversation...?

mapet:
This is how you give yourself away when you try to blow a trumpet of what you're not.... Are you the standard or reference of distribution Academics and Professionals of Northern extraction across the world? You come across as trying to sound as who you're not, stating vague or at best low level stages of profession

The names in the list I provided speak for themselves, very few of the folks named were of Northern Extraction

As for me..

Educated in London for secondary school at an elite London school

I went to a Russell Group top 10 university

Undergrad Degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics
Masters in Computer Science

Worked at a large number of Fortune 500 companies, notably JP Morgan, UBS, Nomura and IBM

Income circa 250,000 GBP per annum and Assets in the tune of millions

Core specialisms in Finance are FX, Interest Rate Derivatives, Equities and Credit products
Technology specialisms SQL variants (Sybase, Oracle and MS SQL server), UNIX, Linux, React, Node JS, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript and MT4 C based trading language
I have also managed teams across two major investment banks.

You?

Btw I am not even the best or the brightest of the cohort of Nigerian boys I was educated with in London. Two of my Igbo peers launched multimillion pound companies in Britain. One of whom was even on TV with the prime minister extolling the virtues of one of the products his company developed.

There was only one Northern boy in our school group, he flunked his exams and turned to islamic extremism the last time I checked. I wasn't so across tribal divisions as a child, but the Igbo boys were very clear that they felt he wouldn't amount to much. To the Northern boy's shame he didn't fail to live up to their low expectations.

Even then I have never shown any malice towards northerners, as I said to others I feel we are too culturally different to share a nation. So lets go our separate ways. If your people do better than those in the South (which I doubt) more power to you..

Why do you want to be hitched to a people who you don't get along with? It makes no sense..

She is only repenting because she is expired or burned every bridge..

New slays queens join the game everyday..

gomojam:
Nice. Kedu? Bawo ni?
What do u think of Southern Nigeria only country? Do u prefer Yoruba or Igbo only country? Do you really believe the core north adds no advantage to the mix? And what about the middlebelt?

Just curious.

Hello to you too bros.. Are you mixed too?

I think Southern Nigeria as a country would work without any issues. I am a product of those two peoples and the differences between either side of my family were never because of ethnicity, more because of character.

Any folks saying a Federal Republic of Southern Nigeria wouldn't work are typically from the North or Yoruba with Northern sympathies owing to religion.

Yoruba and Igbo may bicker, but rarely do disputes become acrimonious or violent. Both largely accept rule of law and if we act quickly enough, if the economy turns around, well educated Igbos and Yoruba in the diaspora would quickly return especially given the backdrop of western racism

When I call for the country to split, it is with a heavy heart. But when I see people being slaughtered across the South by herdsmen and the general decline of security in the nation due to Islamic terrorism; I have to accept we are better off separate. Add to that the general ethnic nepotism of Buhari's administration which reflects the attitude of Northerners in general, I can't see a decent way forward together...

There should be a referendum in the South as to whether they wish to split from the North. With a view to later referendums on a possible Oduduwa Republic or Biafra, if the desire for further breakup still continues. In truth without malign Northern influence, I think things would settle down very quickly, so calls for smaller states would subside.

As for the middle belt, they also need to be given a referendum on whether they wish to be part of Southern or Northern Nigeria. In all likelihood, they would choose the South. We all know how this would go down.

The only impediment is the North, because the economic consequences of such a split despite their protestations would be disastrous.. I wouldnt even be surprised if a coup is being planned by them for 2023..

gomojam:
Are u Igbo, Yoruba or mixed?

I am mixed yoruba and igbo..
