IdisuleOurOwn:
I honestly don't know what is wrong with some of you.

Boni Haruna, (a Christian) rule Adamawa (a Muslim denominated state) for good 8 years, nothing happens

Patrick Yakowa (a Christian) was elected governor of Kaduna state in 2011, nothing happens.

Why is this one different?

Only a fool will say Adamawa & Kaduna are muslim dominated states. because that is a lie from the pit of hell.

Angel196:
You don't even know what to say again which shoes your level of ignorance. Go through our conversation again and see for yourself. First you talked about Fulani wanting to take over a christian and jukun state, (ignoring the fact that many jukuns are also Muslims. Mind you some Hausa's, some Fulani's and many other tribes are also indigen of Taraba state)Dan baba a PDP candidate then, was the formal governor and a Fulani, you did not shout then since he was not a Muslim. Lol. You also said Muslims are the minority that's why and I gave you an example of a Christian governor in a Muslim dominated state and you are still blabbing. I will not stoop as low as your level to throw insults like an immature brat throwing a tantrum. I am an adult and I would conduct myself as one.

You have displayed your foolish ignorance here. How can anyone say Danbaba Suntai was a fulani man? oh, is it because he has DANFULANI as his middle name?
He looks like a fulani man being fair skinned, as fulanis have the fairest people in the north and that was where the name came from.
Danbaba is a Chamba man from Bali, that is where his father originally comes from, but his father died at an early age and his father's people sent his mother parking away and she left with him and that is why till today Danbaba claims his mother's tribe ICHEN and her hometown SUNTAI as his own.

dustmalik:
Nice comments from both of you. Don't mind those e-idiots saying rubbish. Kaduna is predominantly Muslim, yet it has been governed by a Christian before. So, why should Taraba be any different?

By the way, the grounds on which the tribunal nullified the election and declared her winner is very clear. The PDP didn't comply with the electoral laws, plain and simple.

U are a fucking liar. Muslims are not more than Christians in Kaduna state, unless you are talking of the old Kaduna state which Katsina people were part of.

I am not igbo but from Middlebelt but i strongly believe in the struggle of Biafra.

This ZOO Nigeria must fall let us all go our seperate ways!

Hmm, it seems like we are all not thinking of the bad/risky sides of this practice. Many people may use it to steal once they get a hold of ur phone.

[quote author=Moahmed post=39427214][/quote]Yes we will and we must!
A country with Hausas and middlebelt tribes can never work. Even if Nigeria we are not living in peace together let alone in one country.

PLATEAU, NASARAWA, BENUE, SOUTHERN KADUNA, TARABA, parts of Kogi, Adamawa n Bauchi may also join us.
WE BELONG TO CENTRAL NIGER REPUBLIC!
Arewa is for hausa-fulanis and Kanuri people.

sonofananimal:
look at another imbec1le.

What is wrong with you people did the Hausa take anything from you?

Shout that pigeon hole you called mouth

U shut ur own stupid goro chewing mouth.
God forbid for Plateau, Southern kaduna, Nasarawa, Taraba, Benue people to ever form the same country with Hausa-fulanis. Infact that country will be torn with war!

I cannot wait for my beloved middlebelt country.

Btruth:
And who will inherit Abuja?

Abuja belongs to the middlebelt, hence it will go with Central Nigeria. Abuja is dominated by Gbagyis, Gbari, Egbura, Koro, Gade, Bassa Nge e.t.c which are all middlebelt tribes.

Macelliot:
I should have created this thread in 2014, but due to some certain circumstances best known to me, I skipped it..
The question is, Why do Igbos always dominate about two-third of the Most beautiful girls in Nigeria contestants? (MBGN).

2014 was the same,
2013 also the same,
2012 was also the same thing. Infact, since time immemorial.
Same thing also applies to Miss Aso-rock, Miss tourism, Miss Nigeria e.t.c.

Take a look..

Cc: Lalasticlala

U this OP, i corrected in a previous thread that Miss Zamfara, Ekiti & Benue are not igbos, yet u still chose to re-broadcast your ignorance. Since when has Igbos started answering Uduak, Edom or Omachi?

Miss Zamfara n Ekiti are both Ibibio/Efiks while the Miss Benue is Idoma. Their names are not igbo names.

Macelliot:
There are indigenes Igbo people in Benue state...

Mr Indigenous igbos in Benue state.
Is Omachi an igbo name? if u claim it is then tell us what Omachi means in Igbo and show me other people who answer the name.
It is an Igala/Idoma name, stop arguing.
Besides, do u think d igbos in Benue reach 5% of the population of the state?

What about Miss Zamfara n Ekiti? Uduak and Edom? are they also igbos?

Macelliot:

Pls stop misleading people.
The girls representing Benue, Zamfara & EKitit states are not igbos! At least am sure of these ones.

Omachi (Benue state contestant) is an Igala/idoma name
While Edom & Uduak (Ekiti & Zamfara contestants) are Efik/Ibibio ladies.

14 REASONS WHY LIFE IN ABUJA IS BETTER THAN LAGOS


1) TRANSPORTATION COST

Transportation in Abuja is far cheaper than that of Lagos.
Imagine in Lagos from a place like Ojota to Mile 2, one will spend around #300, but in Abuja #300 can take you from Karu to almost anywhere else in the city, even with a drop. Not to talk of places in the Lagos island where transportation cost is something else.


2) ROAD NETWORK

The road network in Abuja is far more developed and efficient than that of Lagos because Abuja is a better planned and constructed city. No much difficulty in locating places and adresses.
So many alternative routes for movements.
There is far greater ease of movement within the city.


3) FLOODING

The kind of situation many Lagosians have to put through during the rainy seasons in many areas of the city is unimaginable.
You see many streets flooded all over, people bailing water out of their houses and the flood even carrying away motor cars and people.

Abuja on the other hand has a more effective drainage system and never experiences such.


4) CLEANLINESS

Abuja on the average is cleaner and neater than Lagos. There are some places you will go to in Lagos and you will wonder if it is animals or human beigns that reside there (sorry to say).

The hygiene condition is just beyond terrible in many places in Lagos.


5) TRAFFIC

This is one aspect that makes living in Lagos like hell. You can imagine being caught up in traffic for hours with no way out.
In Lagos, many people have to wake up as early as 4 p.m to leave their houses just in order to escape traffic. It's that terrible.

In Abuja, there are so many easy alternative routes to almost every place due to the very developed road network.


6) HUMAN CONGESTION

Lagos is one place where human congestion is common due to the extremely high population density.
Some places are so busy with people moving all about and congested that one can easily suffocate due to improper circulation of air. In such crowdy places where many people are sweating, some are coughing, e.t.c, all manners of communicable and contagious diseases could easily be contacted, typically unlike Abuja.


7) STRESSFUL LIVING

You can imagine someone who reaches his house by 11:30 p.m because of traffic and still has to wake up as early as 3:00 a.m just to hurry up to leave his house by 4:00 a.m in order to escape traffic.
Such a person is very much prone to great stress and probably sickness, but such is not the case in Abuja because of the lower population, better traffic conduction and a more developed road network.


7) POLLUTION

The pollution of the atmosphere in Lagos is extremely high compared to Abuja.
So many industries and factories in Lagos which empty their toxic wastes into the atmosphere and surroundings which are very unhygienic. This means that people in Abuja breathe in purer and less toxic air than people in Lagos.


CHEAPNESS OF FOODSTUFFS

Foodstuffs on the average are cheaper in Abuja than in Lagos due to the location of Abuja in the middlebelt and north of the country where farming is mostly done, hence nearness of the farm products to markets.


9) SERENITY

Abuja is more serene, quiet and calm than Lagos which is always buzzling and noisy all the time. One may almost not be able to get a good sound sleep, rest and calmness of mind in parts of Lagos.


10) CRIMINALITY

The criminality rate in Lagos could go for one of the highest in the world.
If one manages to escape the 419ers in Lagos, you may be intercepted by the Human ritualists, Street hooligans and thugs, Yahoo yahoo boys, and all manners of negative vices of the society.
The criminality rate in Abuja is far lower compared to Lagos.


11) CIVILITY & CULTURED ATTITUDE

People in Abuja on the average behave more cultured, civil, polite and enlightened than people in Lagos.
Lagos is a place where any kind of crazy attitude goes, but if you come to Abuja with a crazy attitude, the way you see people living more cultured and sophisticated, you will definitely be compelled to change, just to try to belong.
Abuja is definitely a better place to raise up children and a family.


12) EASE OF TRANSPORTATION

One of the scariest scenes any first timer in Lagos can witness is the RUSH HOUR time, where you see people fighting, stepping and even jumping over each other just in a bid to get into a public transport bus.
In Abuja, one can never witness anything near that. There are so many options and alternatives for transportation in the city. You go anywhere you want at anytime with ease.


13) BEAUTY

Abuja on the average is more beautiful than Lagos. Take the most beautiful places in Lagos and those in Abuja and compare and Abuja is surely to surpass Lagos. Take the worst places in Abuja, and they may rank on the average compared to Lagos.


14) WELCOMING NATURE OF THE INDIGENES/ EQUALITY

The indigenous people of Abuja/FCT are very much more welcoming and friendly than those of Lagos, to the extent that people hardly notice the existence of the presence of the indigenous groups of the city.
Tribalism and discrimination is not an issue in Abuja.
The Oba of Lagos threatened to drown a group of people in Lagos just because of political and tribal differences in the last Lagos state governorship elections.
Some Nigerians were even deported in their own country from Lagos back to their states of origin. Such can never be heard of in Abuja.

If you are a stranger in Lagos and you probably don't understand yoruba, you may be insulted by the yoruba speakers for that. Such can hardly happen in Abuja.

Abuja is situated in the centre of the country (middlebelt), where neither Yoruba, Hausas or Igbos can claim indigeneship, hence all are of equal status. That is why it is called the CENTRE OF UNITY. Uniting all Nigerians in equality and oneness.

GoldCircle:
How come no one is talking about the BH factor in Abuja? You go church na bomb, you go mammy market go shark, na bomb! You go enter bus sef on a Monday morning to work na bomb! That alone is enforced me to relocate to a "shithole" rather die in the hands of a suicide bomber seeking virgins in heaven.
Without security, every other thing na wash!

Abuja has only been bombed twice since 2009 (6 years interval), so don't make it sound like it's an everyday issue like in Iraq.

Besides, BH can end just tomoro, but can the ritualist activities, street hooliganism, Agbero lifestyle, kidnappers, yahoo yahoo, 419 end in Lagos overnight?? HELL NO!

So talking about security, Abuja is still ahead.

10 REASONS WHY ABUJA IS BETTER THAN LAGOS.


1)Transportation in Abuja is cheaper than that of Lagos
2) Abuja has a better road network than Lagos because it is a well planned city.
3) Abuja does not experience flooding like in Lagos because the drainage system in Abuja is more effective.
4) Abuja is neater and cleaner than Lagos
5) Abuja does not have hell of traffic jams and traffic congestions like in Lagos
6) Life in Abuja is less stressful than in Lagos
7) Foodstuffs are generally cheaper in Abuja than in Lagos due to the location of Abuja in the middlebelt and north where farming is mostly done in the country.
Abuja is more serene, quiet and calm than Lagos which is always buzzling and noisy all the time.
9) Apart from the issue of Boko haram bombing which occurs in Abuja rarely, Abuja on the average is safer than Lagos where the criminal rate is generally higher, armed robbers, 419ers, Human ritualists and all manners of negative vices of the society.
10) Abuja is more beautiful than Lagos

BABA go slow has deceived us.

Very useless post.

On what basis do u classify these as the most powerful?
is it based on the largeness of their territory?
The population of their subjects/followers?
or their historical greatness? @OP

How can kings like Shehu of Borno, Gbon gwom Jos, Attah of Igala land, Aku Uka of Wukari and Lamido Adamawa not be here and u are having the likes of Obi of Agbor?
Tell me in what aspect does a common king like Obi of Agbor who is king over just one small town in Delta state surpasses any of the kings i mentioned.

The Shehu of Borno is d ruler over the whole large Borno state and by extension the whole Kanem-bornu land which includes Yobe state and u are saying the kings of just some small towns are more powerful.

The OP of this post proved that he is not well travelled and widely read at all. Nigeria is bigger than what u think.
No single King from the middlebelt region or the North east and u are calling this a list.

Fulaman198:
Completely untrue

If you know anything about colonial French African countries, they are far less closer to the French than Anglophone African countries are close to the English.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the French as Gambia and Sierra Leone aren't French speaking countries.

The French are notorious for not allowing French education run rampant in Africa. They did everything to keep their colonies backward.

Go n make ur research sir
But since u doubt me, okay can u tell me what brought about the difference between Nigerian fulanis and other west african fulanis in terms of islamic fanatism?

All i can tell u is that Nigerian fulanis are products of Jihad (islamic war).

Fulaman198:
I disagree, there is no evidence to support your claims. If you look at Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad, Sierra Leone, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, etc. you don't see Ful6e (Fulani) practising 'extreme' forms of Islam.

In fact, amongst the Mbororo'en of Nigeria, Islam is hardly practiced. So you need to stop generalising and get your facts straight.

The reason islamic fanatism did not survive amongst the fulanis n other muslims of french speaking west africa was simply because of the direct rule system of the french colonialists in which all the people were directly governed by french (western) laws and were forced to accept french education, socialization e.t.c unlike in Nigeria where the british colonialists used the indirect system of government.
This is the major reason for the difference.

Fulaman198:
You don't know the history at all. Wangara clerics from Mali introduced Islam to Hausaland.

Yujin is very correct and let us not deny facts.
The fulanis were the ones corrupted the hausas to the kimd of fanatic islam they are practicing today.
If not for the arrival of the fulanis, the hausas would have been liberal muslims just the Yoruba muslims today and religion would have not been as dangerous as it is in Northern n central Nigeria today.
