And he eventually met his death in the hands of the Tivs... He killed by the sword and he died by the sword..

Shame to the Hausas,the most spineless, weakest & slavish tribe of all, generations after, yet they remained too doomed to take back what is rightfully theirs. What a shame

Tivs are claiming they killed Danfodio, Igalas are claiming the same thing, Jukuns are claiming the same thing.
Well, I know for sure that Danfodio's men were defeated and disgraced when they climbed the Plateau to fight Plateau tribes.

Thanks to Tivs, Jukuns, Igalas & Plateau people for completely resisting the spread of the caliphate down south.

However, see us today, we are now a shadow of ourselves under this useless one Nigeria where the same fulanis whom our fathers resisted are now ruling us.

Middlebelt people, think! One Nigeria is not favouring us!

Built2last:
Igbos cry Everytime that they are marginalized but think of the Hausas that Fulani came in and conquered. The Yorubas may serve the caliphate politically but the Hausas are the real slave. For what history tells us. Foolanis are visitors.

Hausas sacrificed everything to the Fulani.

Fulani is a minority tribe in Nigeria but very vicious and domineering.

The Hausas are a very shameless and subservient race. Anyway, Hausa elites are enjoying their bond with the fulanis. So, they do not care anymore.

The fulanis also helped to spread Hausa language far & wide, so I think it is now somewhat more of a symbiotic relationship.

The jihad is still on now,very soon the fulani will conquer the whole Hausa and middle belt inclusive

Fulanis have already conquered the Hausas long ago, but they will never conquer the whole middlebelt. It is impossible. Only Niger state and Ilorin is under their control in the middlebelt.

Where are all those people shouting THIS NONSENSE CANNOT HAPPEN IN THE SOUTH-SOUTH?

They think fulani herdsmen are respecters of anyone or boundaries? Benue state or the middlebelt just happens to be closer to the core-north, that is why Fulani attacks are more intense over there.

omenka why are you like this?
why are you covering up for this murderous fulani herdsmen?
do you know that Buhari will leave power one day but your people remains your people
why are always supporting fulani herdsmen against your people?
are you only apc member online?
why are you this wicked
maybe because it's not your kindred but this people share the same state with that makes them automatically your people.
whatever you're doing just know that one day it might be your turn though i don't pray that
omenka repent and change your ways before its too late late for you

Omenkalives is a fulani man who grew up in Benue state, claiming to be from Benue! There are many fulanis like that in Benue, many of them speak Idoma & Tiv fluently, but they are still fulanis. .... Are you guys not asking yourselves why he is the only person who claims to be from Benue speaking like this?

Paul Unongo who was the highest fulani paid agent in Benue immediately resigned from Arewa elders forum when the killings started and supported his own people.

Deux123:
Irresponsible man! Next time they will get you before you escape. They wont recognise you as head slave, so long you are not a Fulani Mohammedan.

Omekalives is a fulani man claiming to be from Benue. I wonder why you guys still take him serious.

Even Paul Unongo that was a fulani sponsored agent in Benue, when the killings started, he had to resign from Arewa forum and support his people.

omenkaLives:
They've started trying to sabotage the exercise even before it gains traction.

When it happened, IG was sent and policemen were dispatched to affected areas.

The people huffed and puffed, saying what is needed is the army and police aren't trained for that level of combat.

The cries have been heeded and accordingly, the army has been engaged, and the same folks have started peddling lies to frustrate to exercise.

Ortom is the one orchestrating all these media attacks as he knows puting an end to this crisis is probably nailing his 2019 ambition. He has absolutely nothing to go by except "pretending to love the people more than he does his bank account".

All state owned tertiary institutions (with the exception of BSU) just declared indefinite strike over the intolerable suffering as a result of nonpayment of salaries and the fool is there chasing shadows.

Even BSU has been shut down over last week's protest, with the fool asking students who protested the authorities disallowing them to sit for exams over nonpayment of school fees, to go sought their fees over two weeks. Benue workforce is predominantly civil servants. You don't pay salaries yet you want students to pay fees. Where does he want them to raise the monies- prostitution and selling of kidneys?

When folks who know nothing about what goes on in Benue open their mouths and speak here, all I do is giggle. Worst off they are the same people that insulted the life out of the useless governor just last year. He's become their hero overnight because he now seems opposed to Buhari.

Hausa fulani man, shame on you. The plans of your people are now being exposed and you come here to cry foul.

The end of the wicked is near. You and your fulani people will pay for their wickedness very soon.

Nonaira1:
Personally, in my opinion, I disagree with the method of IPOB. I think they should create more choas cause that's about the only way they'll get their desire in that sad excuse of a country

Where were you when IPOB created chaos last year and were killed in their numbers? You want that to happen again? Am I sure I am talking with a sensible grown up adult? Or an irrational naive teenager?

Pls try to be reasonable and don't let emotions becloud your reasoning. Believe me, I am as bitter as you are against Nigeria. I hate the core-north more than you do!

I know that Nigeria can never progress as a country with Hausa fulanis, that is why It pains me to my bones whenever I remember how Gideon Orkar's coup failed. I have to come over myself everytime and control myself cos I know that emotions can never win this.

You guys can never win this war the way you are going about it. If you doubt me, please keep on trying. But make sure you come over to lead the chaos you are pushing for.

You think you can win by starting a chaos, when your own leaders are against you and when you don't have the alliance and support of other regions, coupled with the fact that you are under a fulani led govt. What suicide mission.

Nonaira1:
Yyeske is not Igbo!!!!! Every igbo on this forum will tell you that no questions asked. A simply look at his past post should easily tell you that even if you're not Igbo. He's either SW or full blown Northern. Personally I believe he's Hausa/Fulani based on his reply EternalTruth in regards to the fulani herdsmen. Pretty much the same defense all the non southern/MB masquerading northerners on this forum likewise, the northern leaders have for their lack of attack towards the fulani herdsmens. Dude is just another northerners pretending to be wtf he's not.

Keep thinking you're talking to an igbo.

Secondly, why don't you non igbos start your own agemda. Does igbo have to lead you lots before you gwt up and start defending yourselves? If you disagree with IPOB way then start your own. Afterall APC assumed they can do better and lead better than PDP; hell that yoruba ex lagos governor thought he can stabilize the power supply in 6 months but alas, when it came their turn. Wtf happened? If you believe you have a better strategy then start your own.

Funny thing about you lots criticizing ipob is actually the lack of knowlege in terms of Biafran agitation groups. Everything and I mean EVERY SINGLE steps you lots keep narrating that's what IPOB should have done to show they are serious is EXACTLY what BZM as well as Lower Niger Congress took. That same route but yet how far have they gone? How much recognition have they gotten? Who even knows about them and their movement? NONE except those of us that bothers to research about all division seeking groups. International, they are unrecognized and unknown despite one of them base is located in the West. Attempt to enter the Nigerian government to foster for Division have been twarted REPEATEDLY by guess who? Not the people but by your own backwards and incompetent federal government. Why do you think BZM decided to take the Enugu government by force two years ago? You lots seem not to realize how backwards and savagery the country you hail from is starting from the head.
Albeit IPOB did not start their fight in a democratic way nor choosing to continue in a democratic methods has achieved more than those that did. Why? Because unfortunately for una, the only thing that works in your shithole. The only way there's ever a progress of change in that wasteful piece of crap pretending to be Giant of Africa is through choas. A perfect, perfect example is the Niger delta militants. When they were peaceful, were they not repeatedly killed and framed by your government. When they turned violent, was that not when your government chose to listen.. Likewise the biafra agitators, of all the Biafran agitators/division agitators group out there, guess the one your government pays little to zero mind to but doing everything to keep them out of electory box? LNC and BZM (prior to they became violent) aka the only Division group that choose your way. When BZM turned violent, even for just a miniscule second, remind us again what occurred?
Ipob on the other hand that is more obnoxious, more loud and more verbally aggressive has gotten 1.) More recognition by your government that they fear them based on the repeated attempt to try and destroy their reputation globally likewise the continous human rights abuse against their followers plus bribery towards their followers and the extreme obsession of them by their media paid group. 2.) More intentional recognition that foster several west lawyers choosing to help them sue each abuse by your government pro bono likewise, even got some UK politicians to suggest support for biafra referendum in the UK parliament. A document that till this very day is still allowed to be listed up and the politicians still asking for more signature. 3.) Got a US lawyers that was once a politician in the US government to take several of your leaders to court pro bono. Likewise, got the US court even accepting the case despite you're a sovereign nation. Since then, remins us again didn't your gun sale from US flop because of your human rights abuse and a heavy restrictions given to you before you can purchase? Remember you've always engaged in human rights abuse nation but excluding gej rule ( which was due to obama wanted a stooge usa can control), have they ever once restricted you from trade based on that singular abuse? Infact the Cameroon government commits more human rights abuse than your shithole yet till date, the US has not created a restriction in Any sale they made with him. Mind you, he's jailed, killed and attacked several amazonia agitator leaders. Funny, the Amazonia used to follow your suggestions for their fight for independence. Pray tell how far did that get them? How many recognition did they get from the international media? Is it not until recently that they changed their tactics and using somewhat similar tactics as IPOB that more recognition is being drawn to them?

Sorry to bust your bubble....Your Nigeria is a complete shithole. A democratic way does not work in your shithole and your government have proven that statement accurately by their reaction to several different groups. You definitely learn that when you create your own.

Personally, in my opinion, I disagree with the method of IPOB. I think they should create more choas cause that's about the only way they'll get their desire in that sad excuse of a country

Ok. Good response.

First of all, I cannot argue if Yyeske is a bonafide Igbo or not. So I decline that aspect.


You have made some salient points. However, this is where I think I need to throw in some light.

As for Lower Niger congress (which I know of) and BZM (which I do not know of, so I wouldn't mind you enlightening me about them) , I think both groups were not serious about their agitations. ... They never had a vicious campaign strategy. ..This is the aspect where I admired IPOB. ... IPOB had a radio and very vicious online campaign platforms, they organized rallies e.t.c. We never saw any of such from the LNC. This telle you how unserious they were.
If I start a group today or join another group which I have some influence in and some funds at my disposal. I and my group will honestly do far better than that.


Secondly, As for comparing the case of Nigeria to that of Ambazonia, I think it is not very comparable.
Ambazonia or the English-speaking Cameroon are in a country where they are in a minority and there is no way they can gain the support of others against the dictatorial central govt as the majority of the rest of the country are French speaking.
Sadly, in their own case, the only way they can actually get their independence is through war. Especially considering the fact that their president is a dictator and the black man doesn't understand diplomacy.

The only way for Ambazonia to succeed is by alligning with Nigeria, Just as Eriterea had to allign with Egypt in order to break out of Ethiopia. Unfortunately Nigeria of today has no positive direction considering the kind of leaders we have, if not we would have been in the best position to help them out. So, they are stuck for now. I don't know if Britain would be able to help them out for the sake of them being English speaking.

That aside, Nigeria's case is different from Ambazonia! There is no absolute majority group in Nigeria in any ramifications. The dominating group in Nigeria is always made up of alliance of one group with another. In 2011, Igbos were not talking of Biafra, simply because their alliance body was in power and they had great national representation. Why now start the Biafra shouting as soon as you lost power?
The only way you can be relevant in Nigeria is by making a larger alliance for your cause. This has been proven times without number. Why don't Igbos patiently form an alliance with others and pursue their cause with a stronger alliance?
Even the Hausa-fulanis we are all talking about today, had to make an alliance with the yorubas before taking power. In the past, the same Hausa fulanis used to be in alliance with you Igbos while yorubas were in the opposition.... This tells us that Hausa fulanis are not as indispensable and invincible as we think they are!



Thirdly, Igbos are the most homogenous single largest group in Nigeria, so, the baton has to naturally fall on you guys to lead agitations in this country. ....

Take me for instance, I was an admin and co-founder in the largest middlebelt online group and we had very serious unity problems in that group, to the extent that the forum had to break away into another forum. What cause this? Ethnic and religious difference. Many muslims in our region have this strong sympathy for Arewa & Hausa fulanis due to islam, while many of we christians were strongly pro-south...... Many Tivs were displaying their stupidity in the group. Igalas & Ebiras had their quarrels, Idomas & Tivs had their quarrels......
Infact, I now discovered that there are so many muslim extremist from Niger state, Ilorin and Okene (Ebira people) and these people were no different from the Hausa fulanis we wanted to break out from.

This was when I concluded that a united middlebelt identity on one principle cannot work. So, right now, I am mostly interested in only Plateau, Southern Kaduna & Nasarawa people in the NC and Taraba, parts of Adamawa, Gombe and South Borno. Cos I discovered that most of us from these areas share more in common. These are the areas I will work hard to unify in the future.

As for you Igbos, you have one language, one ethnicity and one religion, which makes it easier for you guys to unite and at the same time become the targets of the core-north.

Yorubas are heavily divided by religion and their large Muslim population can always be comfortable under a Fulani led country as long as islam is promoted, as you can see now.

So, you can see why the onus falls on you Igbos to naturally lead others? So, you guys must not cry about it, but accept full responsibility to unite others against your cause, just as the Hausa-fulanis are doing.
Afterall, you Igbos also produced founding fathers of this nation and are part of the mess we all find ourselves.

mvem:
..ignorant??..buhari won in nassarawa,Kaduna and Jos...get ur facts right

Which kind of person is this? Why do you insist on embarrassing yourself like this?

Look at the link below! Goodluck won in Plateau & Nasarawa in 2015. I am not arguing outside these 2 states. So don't bring in Kaduna here.

http://www.nigerianmonitor.com/final-official-inec-2015-presidential-election-resultswho-is-the-winner/amp/

BafanaBafana:
In Benue state, people vote with their heads and not based on religion like your pleateu state. Note that pdp got that much vote in 2015 due to the influence of David Mark and the rigging pdp did. Saying that Buhari will not win in Benue is just a wish. Just wait until after the elections and see what will happen.

Oga, if Plateau state voted strictly due to religion in 2015, Buhari wouldn't have gotten up to 45% of votes in the state. Or are muslims now up to 45% in Plateau state?

In Benue state, Tivs heavily voted APC in 2015 due to jealousy of Idomas and the national influence they enjoyed due to the person of David Mark.

PHILipu1:
You are the one deceiving yourself Mr and your eyes will clear that day.

Is the 2019 presidential election going to be between Buhari and a southerner or Igbo man if i may ask you?

It is going to be between a fulani and a fulani and you believe that all Anambra will vote for the fulani of PDP and will not vote for the fulani of APC.

Before Anambra election we heard how you guys boasted that Nwoye will not even come 5th because he joined Islamic party but the results cleared you doubt.

The 2019 presidential election will showed you that you can only talk of your own one vote and not others own.


The truth was that Plateau and Nassarawa was just too close to the FCT and it was easy for the federal government to rig this states for PDP at that times.

It will be so naive of you to really believe that ministers and political appointees from this states can not come together and deliver 25% for Mr president in their respective states.

Write it down that Buhari will win 2019 election with a wider margin than in 2015.

Yaradua gote massive votes in the SS/SE in 2007 and he was a northerner. So, that point holds no water.

No you are wrong my brother. I am a native of Plateau and Nasarawa was formerly part of Plateau. So Let me tell you what made APC to win governorship in both Plateau & Nasarawa states.

Simple, in one word TRIBALISM! Yes, it was internal tribalism. You see, both Plateau & Nasarawa states are populated with dozens of minority groups and all these many minority groups will always resist one single tribe attempting to dominate all of them.

Gov Jang of PDP who is a Berom man by tribe wanted to hand over governorship to another Berom man after his 8 years tenure, and power was supposed to rotate to Plateau south after Plateau north's tenure. This was why all the other tribes had to gang up and support the APC candidate who is from Plateau south against Jang's candidate of PDP. So it was nothing but internal politics.
The same thing with Nasarawa state, all the other tribes in the state are against the Eggon people from dominating the state.

EazyMoh:
Keep dreaming!
There will never the same turnout in SS/SE in 2019 when the contest is between two northerners and 2015 when it was virtually The north versus SS/SE.
The big question is who is even that candidate to make PMB's vote drop as significantly as you are postulating?
And no way on earth PMB's vote would decrease in the NE! Also in the NW as of then 2015 PDP controlled states like Jigawa, Kaduna, Katsina, Zamfara and the likes I saw them buying votes as high as N2k in the NW alone which amounted to GEJ getting even up to over 10%
In my state Jigawa GEJ got over 300k votes then, all due to the state under PDP governorship and massive campaign funds at their disposal. This time around it is APC in control, and they are ready too to share that money while PDP is completely handicapped.
So definitely PMB's votes will increase in both NE and NW.
Likewise SW definitely PDP fortune will dwindle giving the fact that the party has relegated the region. It lacks appeal or any bigwigs to change its narrative strongly. Coupled with unavailability of public funds to doll out. a 50-50 is even far fetched.
I need one thing from you, promise me you will create a thread declaring EazyMoh your political mentor when PMB eventually wins in 2019, and don't try to claim anything rigging. Cheers!

Shame !

See the way you have now changed the whole story to sth else after I have disgraced you with facts. I thought you wanted to go with facts na. ...Now you have changed to an entire new wave of story telling.

Just put it at the back of your mind that the SE/SS voting population can always neutralize that of the NW, no matter how it goes. And Buhari can never get up to 90% of the NW votes. No! Southern Kaduna people and other minorities in states like Kebbi will always frustrate that.

And why do you guys erroneously assume that a northerner cannot pull massive votes from the SE/SS? Did Yaradua not get massive votes from SE/SS in 2007?

The north-east support for Buhari will definitely reduce. The north-east has a very very large minority and christian population who do not vote based on religious sentiments unlike the muslim population.

Take Gombe south for instance, this zone is predominantly tangale-waja christians, but half of them voted Buhari last election for instance. In 2011, 85% of them voted for GEJ and that was why GEJ was able to get 40% of Gombe state votes in total ......
Now in 2015, GEJ got less than 25% in Gombe state in general cos his large support base in Gombe south dwindled!....... Now, all these happened irrespective of the fact that Gombe state was and is still under a PDP governor! ....What does this tell you? This tells you that a sitting governor does not influence elections as much as you think they do.
Now, come 2019, do you still expect Buhari to have any reasonable support in Gombe south? Hell no!
Many north-east christians voted for Buhari in 2015, but by next year. No reasonable one will vote for Buhari. This is why the north-east will slightly drop.

If not for religious politics, Buhari support in the north-east would have heavily dropped too like the north-central definitely will.

EazyMoh:
Oga leave that thing. A party controlling federal level has always had tremendous effect in the outcome of SS and SE, fact. There are already pressure groups from SE that have endorsed PMB for 2019. Couple that with how easy it is to buy votes from that side.
Even at that, 70% of NW is more than 100% of SE+SS!
Try and calculate 70% NW&NE + 30%NC + 50%SW + 5% SE&SS is still greater than the rest!

No, Oga you are wrong! Let us use the last election figures as an example. Look at the screenshot below and do the mathematics.

Buhari got 82% of the NW votes last election, while GEJ got 92% of the SE/SS votes.
Add the votes of the SE/SS and it is exactly 7,179,631....which is more than that of the NW at 7,115,199.
So, you should know that the votes of the SS/SE can always neutralize that of the NW! ......now remember, the NW is most likely to drop from the 82% they gave Buhari last election. So, Buhari is on the loosing side here.

Let us assume that the SW is 50/50 which neutralizes itself.

This therefore leaves us with the NE & NC. Now, doing the calculations again, Buhari got 72% votes of the NE last election and 71% of the NC.

Now imagine the NC which is more populated than the NE drop to 30% while the NE (which will also definitely drop), now drops to like 60%. ......Buhari is already a gonner, however the margin will not be too much.

mvem:
..middle belt like jos,nassarawa,fct,kogi or so....na still north and same thing is still obtainable...SW like the swinging States in US election, we are watching them...

I do not waste my time on ignorant people cos I see you as one.

Buhari has never won elections in Jos-Plateau & Nasarawa before. Not even in 2015, he lost both states. So why should he win now, when the masses are dissapointed in him and have seen that he has nothing to offer?

godliman:
You re right bros river people have a slavish mentality towards the north, they preferred being slaughtered by the north than join the south. The way the carried the say buhari madness in 2015, they were more zealous that the core north. What is happening is a bitter lesson that weak men are better than wicked men. Igbo may cheat you, yoruba may marginalize you but hausa fulani will slit your neck. I doubt if their mumu done do.

Gbam.

But it seems like auto-correct on your keyboard changed your spelling of Tiv to River. Check.

I strongly believe that Tivs have learnt their lessons. The next election will give us a -clearer hint

EazyMoh:
Even with this your analysis, a 70% in NW and NE, a 40% in NC and 50% in SW plus say about 20% from SS and SE, it's still a win for PMB.

Buhari cannot get up to 5% in the SE/SS, let alone 20%.

Even in 2015 when many people had high hopes for Buhari, he got less than 10% in both the SS\SE. How much now that people are drastically dissapointed in him?

Buhari cannot get up to 40% in the NC, at most 30%. .. Niger state is the only state he is sure of winning next year.

HeroicMeastro:
Poor reasoning.
How many states in the NC will vote against Buhari? it seems u don't even knw wat u are typing.
or perhaps u were drunk wen u wrote this...

How many states in NC will vote for Buhari, that is what you should ask your ignorant self.

Even in 2015, Buhari could not win Nasarawa, Plateau & FCT, how much now that many people are tired of him and see him as a disgrace?

Buhari is certainly loosing Benue and no one needs to explain the reason why to a political ignoramus like you.

Buhari is also loosing Kogi, because Yahaya Bello's display of stupidity has made APC to be hated by most Igalas & Okuns. Only Ebiras are still loyalists of APC, and only their votes cannot help Buhari win Kogi.

As for Kwara, Saraki controls the state and he is certainly no longer pro Buhari. Niger state is the only state Buhari can win in the NC.

PHILipu1:
Anambra governorship election should give you a clue that Buhari will get 25% in almost all southern states.

Buhari has ministers and political appointees unlike 2015,who know that if Buhari lose their own job is over and this people will work to deliver.

And you will be deceiving yourself to believe that most PDP governors are happy that Wike and Fayose are now their leaders.

Buhari will win with landslide if he contest.

Governorship elections and Presidential elections are a different thing. In the case of Anambra, even though Tony Nwoye was an APC candidate, he was still an Igbo man.

This was the reason why APC (Buhari) lost Plateau & Nasarawa states in the last presidential elections, but APC governors won in both states......

ishua:
Your comments are the most intelligent of all. I bet you a lot of people knows the truth already, how will Buhari win without votes from NC, SS, SW, SE? the figure from NE and NW will also be shared by the other fulani candidate don't forget. Now and especially in the SW we know it was Idiagbon that had that credibility not Buhari. So anything but not Buhari!

Nothing but the truth. Unless the elections are heavily rigged in the NC & SW in favour of Buhari, I see no reason how Buhari will win next year. Buhari cannot be president without winning or at least getting half of the votes in the NC & SW, and this would be very difficult for him to get.

I cannot speak for the SW, but in my region the NC, only in Niger state can Buhari get any reasonable votes.

akudn:
There is no region which doesn't vote based on Sentiments.

Stop saying SE/SS which vote based on sentiments.

What does the North and the South West vote on..."false change ideals I guess".

The SE/SS & the Core-north vote based on very strong sentiments that is why over 80% of their votes are usually in one direction and opposing directions.

This is typically unlike we from the middlebelt and South-west, which our votes are usually split, mostly 70/30 or 60/40 or 55/45, btw major parties.

yebzman:
Buhari Did Not win Plateau in 2015 and
would not Win it in 2019.
If he gets 10℅ he is very lucky loooool
Trust me if you stay Here in Plateau U would have know those Few who fell for the SCAM are now back to their senses.

Gbam. Thank you for helping me echo it to obailala.

Plateau people and core-north will always remain parallel lines. We can never meet.

mvem:
...come to the north and u would understand better

I don't need to go to the north cos Hausa fulani votes alone cannot make a president, without the winning votes of the middlebelt and the SW.

Suplexx:
Nowenuse:

Currently Lagos has about 6m registered voters

Kano has about 5 million

Abia has 1.3 million

How did Abia record near the number of voters in Lagos or Kano in 2011?

Abia state had a massive turn out in 2011 elections simple. Many states had massive turnouts.

HiddenShadow:
Until borders are erected to profile who enters Middle Belt, I can say with great horror that the Christian communities of the North will go into extinction in the next 50 years.

More and more Fulani Herdsmen are migrating towards the Middle Belt region. If you doubt me, ask any immigration or customs officer assigned to the North of Nigeria.

You have a strong point.

Even if the Middlebelt was a country of it's own, Ecowas allows free movement within member states.

Daviddson:
Are you saying the Fulani herdsmen are killing hapless Benue people because your people voted for Buhari? This logic doesn't make any sense, pls. Herdsmen and Buhari are both Fulani, so what is now your point? Criticise and stop bringing the issue of vote into it because there's no relationship between the two.

I am only trying to say that if an ethnic bigot like Buhari wasn't in power, the situation in Benue would have been better managed. The anti-open grazing law would have been better effected by the armed forces.

remedick:
I hereby call on Northerners of this forum, to please come and list at least 20 international achievements by Northerners that put Nigeria on spotlight among nations.

Before you proceed, please leave Dangote out of this.

Areas should be but not limited to

1. Sports (exclude football)

2. Science

3. Tech

4. Education

5. Medicine

6. Entertainment

7. Information Technology

8. Literature

Are middlebelters also included here?

I can remember when I was shouting on my lungs begging my fellow middlebelters (the Tivs) not to vote for Buhari, they all ignored me and others. Let them enjoy the change they voted for. ..... They are learners if they were expecting Buhari to support anti-open grazing.

Tivs are lucky they control the Benue state govt and at least have some control on how to project their views.

Bachama people suffered worse in the hands of the fulanis but because they do not control Adamawa state govt, their own story is not well heard.

I can bet that if it was the Idomas or Agatus who fulanis are disturbing like this currently, the governor and the state govt wouldn't have taken it so seriously. Rubbish.

yazach:
Accepted, the question is: who do you think will win the areas you mentioned?

Most likely a PDP candidate.

Shame on Buhari and all his zombies.

The only thing they thought they have achieved now shows statistics against them. ....Kworuption fighter my foot!

obailala:
Permit me to borrow your exact strong words:
"Now I know that I have been discussing with a politically ignorant person. How can you say Buhari won Plateau in 2015did not get 25% of the votes in Plateau in 2011? My your own state?"

Buhari in 2011 got 356,551 out of a total of 1,411,117 votes in your state; and from my calculations, that's exactly 25%. Now let's go back to the little details of that time; Plateau was a PDP controlled state in 2011 and PDP controlled Abuja and INEC and the CBN. Furthermore, Buhari was running under the umbrella of an unknown 1-man party which had no single grassroot structure anywhere; yet he was able to pull 25% in a largely PDP state. Today the dynamics have changed, Buhari runs with APC which isn't just a national party with grassroot structures, it's also the national ruling party in Abuja and also the party controlling your state and controlling INEC and the CBN. But yet you feel APC cannot get a meagre 25% of the votes from Plateau in 2019 because of what exactly?... Now I truly know I've been arguing with a political neophyte.

Ok, my bad in the calculation of Buhari's percentage in 2011. I guess I made a mistake in my own calculation and arrived at 23%.


See, pls, let me make one fact clear to you.. In Plateau, we do not rig elections for parties. We hardly do that! So, a party being on seat does not mean that they will or can influence elections to their favour, no, it would be resisted. What you are worth is exactly what you will get in Plateau state. Chikena.

This was why you could see that in 2015, PDP won in the presidential elections while APC won in the governorship. This hardly happened anywhere else in Nigeria apart from Gombe.


Also, don't forget that in 2011, Buhari had a somewhat clean record and many people were still willing to give him a try. My own father was one of such, I think he even voted Buhari that time and urged others to do same......
This is typically unlike now when most people are highly dissapointed in Buhari and have seen that he has nothing to offer!
Lalong who is our governor has also made us regretted voting APC in. See the way he is disgracing us. He is packing his bags too next year. I bet he will not even win in his LGA Shendam next year. .....There is a very strong anti-Buhari sentiment in my state.....

No reasonable Plateau indigene will vote Buhari next year and the settlers/muslim minority who vote based on religious sentiments are not up to 25% in the state to deliver such.

Hati13:
Yeah I read here that Fulani Herdsmen cause many problems like kill many ppl. They seem extreme Muslim.

Is Bihari a Fulani? And are Fulani and Hausa an ally now?

Buhari is a hausanized fulani.

Yeah. Fulanis & Hausas are somewhat allies through Islam, and they manipulate islam to gain the support of other muslims.


So, who is likely to become the next prime minister of ET?
