Lmaooo

He (Musiwa)used to be a teacher in Northern Nigeria (his own claims).

Now we know why that region is the way it is educationally.

But he might have been an Arabic teacher, in a village primary school; in which case a higher level of proficiency (than his own)in the use of English wouldn't have been necessary!
Politics / Re: Gov. T.a Orji, Urges Northern Leaders On Security by NorthSharp(m): 6:32pm On Apr 12, 2012
patrikobi: This is a patriotic gesture of a good citizen,who has a grandiose concern about his own people regardless of ethnicity,religion,believes and language....thats good of you,OCHENDO...we pray for more fruitful years in the office.

Yes, absolutely positive and responsible comments coming obviously from the bottom of the heart of a decent leader who seems to be genuinely concerned about the wanton violation of the sanctity of human life in the North that is being committed by a bunch of senseless, cold-blooded, heartless and godless murderers in the name of BH (whoever they maybe).

All DECENT human beings should be pained and outraged by ANY killing or maiming of ANY INNOCENT fellow human being, regardless of the ethnic, religious, geographical and political background of the victim.

Thus Gov. T. A. Orji has shown that he is such a DECENT human being and a TRUE leader!
Family / Re: Seriously Contemplating A Divorce by NorthSharp(m): 4:43pm On Apr 12, 2012
peaceheartt: My dear, this is not the time to start thinking of divorce, this is the time to work and pray.

Two important statements you made in your post, and based on this, I think u shldnt contemplate divorce,

"I don't want my kids to grow without their father because they are just getting to know him"
your kids still need their father,(especially if they are still very young). taking dem away from their father may affect them negatively for the rest of their lives.

"i know he loves me and i feel something for him"
There is still something there btw u two, he loves you and u feel something for him.

Your marriage need a spark, you have to work at it, prayers would help greatly, but you need to make some physical efforts like taking care of the areas he pointed out, "he complains about everything from my , shoes ,dress to my hair , my food,.......improving in making love"


Marriage is not a bed of roses, we all have our issues and crosses to bear, divorce is not the answer!

I wish you all the best as you take steps to bring back the spark into your marriage!

OP, I think this might be the best advice you could ever get on this matter; so print it out, read and digest every bit of it, act upon it to the letter -- and then pray.

Nnenna1: ^^^I'm slowly coming to find that if you respond to every negative comment about your ethnic group your chances of dying from a heart attack will increase exponentially.

Easier said than done (even for me too) but sometimes you have to learn to take things in stride and ignore the insults. Someone will always have something to talk about. Just be mindful that it is only nigerian politics (which isn't even that much to write home about) and reflects nothing on you as an individual.

Take care.

Thanks for these heart-warming words. I have since learnt how to ignore such ethnic insults on this forum, as painful as they are!

Only on NL! lipsrsealed

If you had written the above insult a few months ago, when I was taking up and mercilessly punishing ethnic bigots that dared insulted my ethnic group this way, I would have made sure you regretted it; I would have insulted your ethnic group so badly, so scathingly and so unsparingly that any member of your tribe who had the misfortune of reading my response would regret ever coming to the forum.

But fortunately, I have since been 'rescued' from the perilous and self-destructive path of the type of ethnic bigotry that permeates this forum.

And I notice how you have been very hypocritical in your recent posts about ethnic bigotry; at one point, you project an image of a decent, enlightened, detribalized guy, yet at another you come up as bigoted, tribalistic, hateful, insulting as the worst of the bad guys.

Does anyone need to tell you how strongly people abhor hypocrisy and despise hypocrites?

Alj harem:
"Can you stop this by calling my name everywhere, How do you know where I am from ?"

Sorry, I did not mean any offence; I mentioned your name because ever since I joined this forum, I have never since a poster who attracts as many malicious insults against MY Hauas-Fulani people as you.

Whenever a poster disagrees with something you post, or when an ethnic bigot wants to 'retaliate' against you for a real or perceived ethnic or personal insult from you, they throw their vicious 'retaliatory' insults against MY people, thinking you are Hausa-Fulani, while you are NOT.

And because you are one of the most prolific and ubiquitous posters on NL, there would hardly be a time I visit this forum without coming across someone insulting MY ethnic group because of you post.

I do not, however, blame you directly for such insults; but while you may not personally feel such insults against the Hausa-Fulani because you are NOT one of us, you should be more considerate of the feelings of the people whose ethnic group is being so badly, and so frequently, insulted as a result of what YOU post.

I think it is simply not fair that YOU post your view, for which you are very much entitled, but WE Hausa-Fulani get insulted for your postings.

ndu_chucks:

The above is accurate to some extent, yet, uwa ni daga Kasuwan Magani, in addition to other issues I'm unwilling to share. Lets not belabour this issue. My position on matters concerning Nigeria remain unshakable and bigots can go and hug several transformers for all I care.

I think its time we came out of archaic times and understood that we are better off as one nation and make our diversity, our greatest strengths. Our common enemies are the elite from Igbo, Hausa-Fulani, Yoruba, Ijaw, and other tribes/groups. Lets spend time on how to defeat them than on Ndu_chucks' origin.



I am afraid I do not understand the part in red. Maybe I may need one of your Hausa-speaking friends on NL (Negro Nations, Beaf, Onlytruth, Cap.Bab, et all) to help me out grin.

Yes, I think you are absolutely right about all the points in the second paragraph; and even a casual glance at your previous posts by any objective and fair-minded person, would reveal that you have been very consistent and persistent in articulating the point that the Nigerian elite, from all the ethnic groups, are our main problem.

I have also repeatedly made this point in the past, just as did Gwawe, Jarus, Jason123, Sam Ikenna, Edo Girl, Afam4ever, to mention just a few.

But the only problem with your decision to deliberately keep your ethnic background so ambiguous is that when the NL bigots disagree with your positions, and cannot match your logic in a civilized debate, they would just take the easier route of tribal insults, invariably insulting MY Hausa-Fulani people, thinking erroneously that you are a Hausa-Fulani.

I wish the ethnic bigots would start treating you as you want them to - just a Nigerian (of mixed ethnicity?); I wish they would stop insulting MY ethnic group, the Hausa-Fulani, when they (the bigots) disagree with your somewhat 'ultra-nationalist' views! lol

Ejiné: - in response to 'Ndu Chuks':

"While the entire Hausa-Fulani nation of parasites and malignant lepers will only continue to make its living from idly, soullessly and shamelessly waiting for the breadcrumbs that fall from the tables of their vastly superior Southern neighbors.

Hmmm. . . Nuff said".

Ejine, it is unfortunate I have to address you once again, on the same issue of your misfiring against the Hausa-Fulani. This poster (Ndu Chucks), who IMHO is among the brightest and well-informed on this forum, is also NOT a Hausa-Fulani, just as Alj Harem is NOT.

It is quite unfortunate and unfair how these two posters with deliberately ambiguous ethnic backgrounds continue to be the MAGNET that attracts the MOST ethnic insults against my good Hausa-Fulani people.

Just like in the case of Alj Harem, I recently had to address a poster on the debatable, ambiguous ethnic identity of the poster 'Ndu Chuks' thus:


Politics / Re: North Ready For Nigeria’s Breakup–junaid Mohammed by NorthSharp(m): 1 month & 5 days

"The funny thing about all this, Mr. Sam_Ikenna, is that the particular poster you have been addressing in this your long argument on this debate (Ndu_Chuks) is NOT a Hausa-Fulani Northerner; he is, ironically, a southerner with Igbo blood running through his veins just like you!

Maybe he so openly and vigorously defends the idea of the continued existence of Nigeria because he, like millions of other Igbos, genuinely believes that your people are better off in a united Nigeria.

I am a Hausa-Fulani and I am enlightened enough to appreciate the enormity of the challenges my people and region would face in the event of a break up, just like other regions would have their own challenges; but I can tell you in all sincerity that IF THERE WERE A BUTTON THAT I COULD PRESS FOR NIGERIA TO PEACEFULLY BREAK UP INSTANTLY AND HAVE MY HAUSA-FULANI ONLY COUNTRY, I WOULD PRESS THAT BUTTON RIGHT NOW! AND I AM SURE MOST ORDINARY HAUSA-FULANIS WOULD DO THE SAME!"
Politics / Re: 'Ijaw Won’t Take Insult From ACN' — Konbowei Benson Friday, Bayelsa Speaker by NorthSharp(m): 4:08pm On Apr 09, 2012
Ejiné: - in response to an earlier post by Alj Harem;

"Hahaha! Another classic attempt at trying to bring Igbo people in every issue. But I'm glad your (Alj Harem's) con has totally played out.

Anyway, it's only a matter of years before you're all officially crippled by polio and leprosy, so I guess that's a good reason for me to rejoice"

Ejine, you seem to be one of the remaining few NLers who STILL make the mistake of thinking that Alj Harem is a Hausa-Fulani Northerner. You keep repeating this mistake so much that I need to re-post my earlier post on this issue; you are still FREE to continue to attack the 'Abokis' and the 'Almajiris' to your delight, but you should not be doing so as a response to a post from Alj Harem, because he is NOT 'an Aboki', as I made it clear in one of previous post below:


Politics / Re: The Situation In Yorubaland by NorthSharp(m): 1 month & 11 days

"It really amazes me how some Igbo and other posters on this forum STILL believe, most naively, that Alj Harem is a Hausa-Fulani from the North, in spite of all the many clues in his posts that so clearly point to the contrary! And, even more importantly, in spite of the fact that he so categorically stated, on more than one occasion, that he is NOT a Hausa-Fulani!

For the first time, I feel compelled to let everybody on this forum know that ALH HAREM IS NOT A HAUSA-FULANI NORTHERNER; any full-blooded Hausa-Fulani like myself could effortlessly figure that out after reading just a couple of his posts.

Alh Harem must have his own personal reason(s) for not coming out clearly, unambiguously and proudly to reveal his true ethnic background, and I am personally not interested in finding out what his ethnic group is, or why he chooses to behave the way he does; it is up to you guys who want to continue to engage him in ethnocentric debates to find out his true ethnic background, but PLEASE count us (Hausa-Fulani Northerners) out of it.

You (Igbo and other posters) are free to continue with your favourite pastime of hurling all sorts of unprovoked hateful and malicious ethnic insults against us, as venomously as you like, but you should stop insulting the Hausa-Fulani northerners in response to any of Alj Harem's comments, because HE IS DEFINITELY [color=#990000]NOT ONE OF US (and no offence whatsoever is intended by this emphasis)"

I do not know which one is more pathetic, the poor quality of this piece or the way people lazily and embarrassingly responded to it without realizing that only the title mentions such a call to rename the NDA after Ojukwu; the body of the story does not mention that call, nor the particular speaker(s) who made it, nor how exactly the call was made.

The worst part of this shabbily and shoddily written rubbish, apart from the fact that the content does not match the title, is that the pathetically incompetent and/or fraudulent 'journalist' made it appear as if it was ALL the speakers that jointly or separately made the call for the renaming of the NDA after the late Ojukwu.

" According to speakers at the two-day event - - - -

" They also proposed - - - -

" Those who canvassed these positions included Nigeria’s Foreign Minister, Ambassador Olugbenga Ashiru; former Minister for External Affairs, Prof Bolaji Akinyemi; India High Commissioner to Nigeria, Ambassador Mahesh Sachedev; Director- General of NIIA, Prof. Bola Akintenrinwa; his counterpart in ICWA, Ambassador S.T. Devare among others."


It is so sad that a newspaper like The Guardian, which used to be known as the 'Flagship' of the Nigerian media, could allow such a terribly badly written piece to be published on its website.

The level of corruption among the Nigerian elite stinks to the high heavens; but when you add this kind of glaringly obscene nepotism and favouritism to the crass corruption, it makes it even more abominable and morally reprehensible.

My prayer to the Almighty Allah is for all these oil wells that were so fraudulently acquired by these few corrupt Northern elite, and those cornered by equally corrupt elite from the other regions, to be confiscated DURING THE LIFE-TIME of these thieving, avariciously materialistic idiots; so that they would die with the full knowledge that their spoiled kids would NOT be reaping where their heartlessly corrupt fathers did not sow!.    

Below is one of my other posts (addressing the SS peoples) on a related thread:

For all we ordinary Northerners care, after we achieve our ultimate goal of total separation from you through the SBC, YOUR ND MILITANTS SHOULD AMBUSH AND ASSASSINATE ANY ONE OF THE THIEVING RULING ELITE FROM THE NORTH, AND OTHER REGIONS, WHO WOULD CONTINUE TO CLAIM 'HIS' OIL WELL IN YOUR REGION.

While we are discussing this fervent need to redistribute our commonwealth shouldn't we revisit and ask the oligarchs from the north who apportioned oil blocks in the regimes of IBB and Abacha to include the good yielding offshore blocks like OML 110 (Cavendish Petroleum, owned by alhaji Mai Deribe awarded by Abacha for nothing?) How about OML 115 ( Oriental Energy, by IBB's in-law Alhaji Indimi)? How about the one run by Ado Bayero, Seplat Petroleum ( Asuokpu/Umutu fields) or would they prefer OPL 246 by TY Danjuma - the one he farmed out a portion and collected cool USD 1 Billion from CNOOC abi na OMLs 112/117 owned by the son in-law of Aburbakar the second Minna General, I could go on to include Rilwan Lukman (AFREN ENRGY) and co but the point is shouldn't these state owned assest gifted to these Owners of Nigeria be part of what we put up for discussion?

Please southerners secede and let us have peace, the oil revenue has always been a curse on the common man, so pls go with it

Thank you so much bro for the part in bold!

We should really be very happy that the kind of strong pro-Araba views you expressed above typify the prevailing general sentiments among our good people, especially the younger generation.

Almost all the people I personally know are in FULL support of total, immediate, peaceful break-up of this country; none of them cares, even in the slightest, about the much-talked about oil in the ND.

As I indicated in an earlier post, personally if I have the power to break up this damn country by a touch of a button, I would DEFINITELY do it NOW:

NorthSharp:

I am a Hausa-Fulani and I am enlightened enough to appreciate the enormity of the challenges my people and region would face in the event of a break up, just like other regions would have their own challenges; but I can tell you in all sincerity that IF THERE WERE A BUTTON THAT I COULD PRESS FOR NIGERIA TO PEACEFULLY BREAK UP INSTANTLY AND HAVE MY HAUSA-FULANI ONLY COUNTRY, I WOULD PRESS THAT BUTTON RIGHT NOW! AND I AM SURE MOST ORDINARY HAUSA-FULANIS WOULD DO THE SAME!



So my prediction is that all the useless greedy Northern 'leaders' who attended these meetings, and who are jostling to take part in the so-called SNC, where they plan to shamelessly agitate for more oil money, would be SWEPT aside by those who truly represent our views on this issue.

Let us start sending clear messages to the Sule Lamidos, the Babangida Aliyus, the Kwankwasos, the Yadudus, the Yayales, et al, that they are indeed a bunch of FCKING BLOOD-SUCKING PARASITES who have been leeching on other peoples' resources, and that they do NOT represent us in their parasitical greed for oil money.

We should do the ND people a good favour by helping them force-wean these corrupt Northern elite of the ND's Bosom. And we must replace them with true regional leaders who would strongly advocate for the convening of an SBC, as you aptly described it. 

We should collaborate with all like-minded representatives of the Southern peoples, especially the younger generation, to realize the convening of the SBC to discuss ONLY the break-up of this terminally ill nation, for the benefit of all.

We want our Arewa Republic and, IN-SHA-ALLAH, we would have it, sooner rather than later!.

Please let's stop all these cheap lies. It doesn't help at all.
ndu_chucks is as Igbo as Adolf Hitler is a Jew.
I don't know what gives you the impression that because someone has a DISTANT genetic link with a tribe, that it qualifies them to claim that tribe. The last time ndu_chucks volunteered some information about his origins, he claimed 25% Igbo. There are people who are 100% Igbo who still deny being Igbo. So, please scrap that idea.
Ka ji ko?


Please respect yourself and mind your language when replying to my post; you do not have to call my assertion 'cheap lies', especially since I did NOT in any way use any disrespectful language against the poster I was responding to, Sam_Ikenna, in my original post.

You might be right, that is, Ndu_Chucks might not be a full Igbo; and though this is a faceless forum, you as an Igbo yourself would surely be in a better position than me to judge the extent to which he is Igbo.

Similarly, as a full-blooded Hausa-Fulani myself, I am also quite capable of using some clues here and there to help me tell who is a Hausa-Fulani and who is not, even on a faceless forum like this.

So my correction to Sam_Ikenna still stands; the poster he has all along been MISTAKENLY addressing as a Hausa-Fulani Northerner on this debate on whether Nigeria should split or not is NOT a Hausa-Fulani Northerner!
Politics / Re: North Ready For Nigeria’s Breakup–junaid Mohammed by NorthSharp(m): 9:55pm On Mar 04, 2012
Sam_Ikenna:


Ndu, I guess what would make you happy is if I played dead or pretended that all is well - I wont do that. I love and respect every part of Nigeria, doing the opposite is disrespectful to God, myself, Humanity, and Igboland and its thousands of yrs of history. If I disrespected Hausa I would have disrespected a very rich history that spanned over 10 or 20 thousand yrs, the same applies to Yoruba, Ijaw, etc that's why I don't go there. So, my brother, you can wait till eternity all you can, it just wont happen.

You know the story of Nigeria and you know we in the south have played dead for a long time. You know we have less blood on our hands compared to core north as long as this nation is concerned - remember Sharia, Boko Haram, Miss world, Maitesine (I don't know if I spelled it right), NYSC killings, Gideon Akaluka, Fulani vs every group when it comes to cattle rearing just to name a few - Please brother am I lying? Is there any group that has killed like core north in this nation? But guess what - I still respect and love them, I'm still willing and ready to be in the same union with them if they stop. That's what a brother is not the one that play dead to suit your ego.

Why do you want to blame me for saying we are tired of catching cold in the face of intimidation? When have you heard Ijaw, Igbo, or Yoruba say that they will/must take this people or that people in the event of a break up? Yes we might say we're breaking up but have we said we are taking anyone outside our ethnic groups?

Its not the right of anyman to acquire his fellow man unless hes a certified man-lover and even if that's the case he still has to seek the consent of the other. Let the core north say we are going with our ethnic group and whoever wants to go with us is welcomed then we'll squash it. Even in Igboland we don't say we must go with Ikwerre or Agbor eventhough we speak the same language. We hope they know we're brothers but if they want to go with the north then by all means let them do so and quickly too.

So, bro, I'm one person that, not only respects but, loves and cares about all people, especially black people - if I'm guilty of prejudice/bias then its for Black folks world over.

I will state my position again and it is - EVERY MAN WILL DECIDE HIS DESTINY IN THE EVENT OF A BREAK UP OF THIS NATION. No group would/should decide any fate in Black Africa. We've had EU, US, and Arab do that for us before and this time its going to be different. Berom for Berom, Igbo for Igbo, Yoruba for Yoruba, Hausa for Hausa, Ijaw for Ijaw - that's how God wants it and that's how it should be. If Abuja says they want Hausa then good and fine but if they say they want to be alone then so be it, the same applies to Kwara, Jos, Ebonyi, Osun etc.

Ndu_chuks, I will ask you another question today and it is - Do you believe we all have a right to decide our destiny?

The funny thing about all this, Mr. Sam_Ikenna, is that the particular poster you have been addressing in this your long argument on this debate (Ndu_Chuks) is NOT a Hausa-Fulani Northerner; he is, ironically, a southerner with Igbo blood running through his veins just like you!

Below is one of my previous posts on this issue in a different NL thread:
NorthSharp:

Anybody who has been gauging the views of ordinary Hausa-Fulani youths would tell you that we are not far from seeing just that; the impression you people have been getting that it is the generality of the people of the Core North who do not want Nigeria to split cannot be further from the truth.

As a poster has stated earlier, it is only A VERY TINY fraction of Northerners, the corrupt elite, who give a damn about the continued unity of Nigeria, and this is for their obvious self-centred reasons; they are the ones who partake in the systematic looting of the so-called oil money, in collaboration of course with the elite from ALL the other tribes; hence they, like the elite of other ethnic groups, would not like to let go of their juicy share of the loots.


This VERY TINY elite from the Core North, like their counterparts from the other regions, may also dread the prospects of having to do with holding political and administrative positions in a smaller, therefore less significant, African country.

Added to the above, the Northern elite may also prefer to cling to the worthless 'one Nigeria' because it provides them with a greater and wider cover for them and their family members to continue to enjoy their preferred extravagant, materialistic Western-oriented life-styles; they know this cannot be guaranteed in a culturally and religiously homogeneous Arewa Republic.

So you and the other posters from the South who have been arrogantly dismissing the views from the Northern posters on the break-up of this country, you would soon be rudely awakened to the real sentiments among our people, and you would then know how widespread these views are among us, especially the younger generation.

As many Southerners know very well, the ORDINARY Hausa-Fulani gets the least direct benefits from the so-called oil money, AND HE CARES THE LEAST!.

We may not be making the loudest noise about dividing Nigeria, but I can assure you that we are now not only ready for the split, but we are in fact ardently praying for it. But you would not know this from a forum like this, where about 98% are Southerners.

And as you can see from the majority of the views from our people, in the event of any break-up we would NOT like to maintain any form of political association whatsoever with any other region(s); we would insist on complete, total separation, with our region becoming a fully independent sovereign state. 

And if your emergent region(s) were to be as developed as Japan the next day after the split, or become more endowed with oil and natural gas reserves than Saudi Arabia and Iran combined, by our very nature, culture and orientation we would NOT begrudge you; we would simply take it that abin duniya ne, kuma Allah ne ya baku (It is a worldly thing, and it is Allah who has provided it to you), shi ke nan!.

Yep you are right and that does not give them the right to lie or try to incite hate on others.

Such rights is what cause the holocaust


9ja voice's response to the above post from Alj Harem:

9ja voice:


fulani man i know you will be here. always sowing your seed of discord. can you read the hand writing on the wall for your fulani people.
these days you don't freely speak on NL for the fear of new evil your brother's will do. you thereby always try to hide behind yoruba's in every discussion.

the best thing for your people now is to seek for peace and mercy of every tribe in Nigeria .
1) to the hausas your grand father Dan fodio murdered their wives and kids till today your fulani's are emir in hausa land of kano,
2) to the igbo's for pogrom and senseless killings of their wives and innocent children during and after the war.
3) to the yoruba's for sowing seed of discord among them and taking kwara state as yours even killing them in their villages till today, via your herds men.
4) to the northern minorities, for killing them on daily bases in their homeland and taking their land without pay.

so much animosity is in the heart of many tribes against fulani's. do you know what ? karma always catch up with an evil man.
b4 this generation will pass fulani's will reap what they and grand fathers sow.
Among all nigeria tribes fulani's are most hated but with time their cup will full.

please lets continue with Ojukwu burial discussion.

really i don't understand why whenever an issue about igbo issue (good or bad) are been discussed our yoruba folks always take it personal.
pls lets stop the nonsense, the hate we see here doesn't exist in real life.  Ojukwu is a great man who see the future while his mates are sleeping

@9ja voice, I think it would suffice as a response to you, and other rabid haters of Hausa-Fulani like you, to simply reproduce for you below my earlier post on whether we Hausa-Fulani think the poster 'Alj Harem' is one of us or not:


NorthSharp:


It really amazes me how some Igbo and other posters on this forum STILL believe, most naively, that Alj Harem is a Hausa-Fulani from the North, in spite of all the many clues in his posts that so clearly point to the contrary! And, even more importantly, in spite of the fact that he so categorically stated, on more than one occasion, that he is NOT a Hausa-Fulani!

For the first time, I feel compelled to let everybody on this forum know that ALH HAREM IS NOT A HAUSA-FULANI NORTHERNER; any full-blooded Hausa-Fulani like myself could effortlessly figure that out after reading just a couple of his posts.

Alh Harem must have his own personal reason(s) for not coming out clearly, unambiguously and proudly to reveal his true ethnic background, and I am personally not interested in finding out what his ethnic group is, or why he chooses to behave the way he does; it is up to you guys who want to continue to engage him in ethnocentric debates to find out his true ethnic background, but PLEASE count us (Hausa-Fulani Northerners) out of it.

You (Igbo and other posters) are free to continue with your favourite pastime of hurling all sorts of unprovoked hateful and malicious ethnic insults against us, as venomously as you like, but you should stop insulting the Hausa-Fulani northerners in response to any of Alj Harem's comments, because HE IS DEFINITELY NOT ONE OF US (and no offence whatsoever is intended by this emphasis).

I am just wondering why the real picture of that little girl was used; the ineffective covering of her eyes could not prevent her from being identified.   

And the fact that she was the only one so exposed adds to my bewilderment and curiosity.

@OP, I tried to open the link you provided but it didn't work.

ALJ HARAM

Even Yoruba people rejected him  sad sad that aboki is just a confuse one sad yaribas like to praise  themselves even thou their is nothing to be proud of  from their region but looking at their culture you will understand why they are like that;yorubas have different class in their society,if you ever been to a functioning in yorubaland you will find out that the rich ones sit on the chair while the poor sit on the floor that says a lot about them i don't no if they have bloodline with Hausa because  both regions have some kind of almajiris in the society. sad sad is only recently they accepted that Johannesburg in south africa have better infrastructure than lagos  grin grin

olyivy:

Two ways to look at this:

1. Its either they are lying. They must have fired before asking questions and later discovered he is one of them.

OR

2. Mr. Clement is using his service pistol to rob people on that infamous area and on sighting his colleagues fled so that he wont be identified.

Its either of the two
.


Even if there are other possible scenarios, these two you have given are SO PLAUSIBLE that I personally believe one of them was just the case.

what did you expect? typical ibos

@ namfav and other Northern brothers & sisters; I think we would be better off REPLYING to tribal bigotry than STARTING it ourselves; that would be more typical of our culture and character, and would give us the MORAL HIGH GROUND, ko ya kuka gani?

DaLover:

in july, 1966 during the northern organised coup, hassan katsina, muritala mohammed and company were about to board the planes from lagos to kaduna, the theme of the northern uprising was ARABA, succession for the north, this almost went through until the silly british high commisioner appealed to their greed and sold the concept of oil domination to them, the northern coup plotter had a 180 degree change in direction from seriously advocating for ARABA to serious believers in one nigeria, lol
Hence, if the oil had not existed muritala mohamed, hassan katsina and others would have split nigeria long ago,
Before the british commisioner stepped in, several southerners in the army and civilians living in the north had been killed for the reason of ARABA, only to completely throw awar the comcept of ARABA on the realization that the oil was yours to do what ever you wanted,
Nigeria only exist today because of oil, i challange anyone to prove otherwise, extreme hatrade for each other, but tolerate each other because of oil,

Ok, you have used your military to keep nigeria one so that you can continue to exploit oil, and someone says, get up, sit up and contribute economically to the common wealth and you say you are being insulted?

Nagoma, please anything you can do to bring back the concept of ARABA in the core north will be highly appreciated, though i suspect this time, plateau, benue and kwara might not want to join in this concept, lol

I think you are absolutely right with regard to the main point of your argument; the irresistible lucre of the oil money, which was so cleverly and tantalisingly used by the manipulative British to dissuade Murtala and other aggrieved Northern military elite from their separatist plan, is undoubtedly the MAIN factor that has been keeping Nigeria 'one' ever since.

But in-sha-Allah things are about to change; the generality of ORDINARY Nigerians, from all the regions, are now convinced, more than ever before, that it would be better FOR ALL OF US if we go our separate ways.

The only obstacle, and potentially a daunting one, is the predictable reaction of the deeply corrupt, avariciously greedy and morally bankrupt political, military and business elite from ALL the non-oil producing regions.

They are the ones who have been personally and EXCLUSIVELY benefiting from the oil money at the expense of the ordinary people from their respective regions, and they are the ones who would go to any length, INCLUDING THE USE OF EXTREME VIOLENCE AGAINST THEIR OWN KINSMEN, in order to ensure uninterrupted flow of the oil money INTO THEIR POCKETS.

However, I do not agree with your view that there is "extreme hatred for each other" among the various ethnic groups in Nigeria; even the recurring ethnic, religious and political violent clashes we have been witnessing, mainly in the North, can be traced, in one way or another, to some action or inaction of one irresponsible member of the exploitative ruling elite or another.

And it is quite saddening that in almost all the cases, the victims of such violence are the ORDINARY, INNOCENT PEOPLE who struggle to eke out a living in an environment that is being made more difficult and challenging by the ruling elite, who have selfishly clogged the national engine and caused a serious, apparently irreversible, systemic malfunction.
