FG purposely abandoned the east and suppressed it from developing more than other regions for fear of the easterners breaking away from Nigeria if the region develops beyond other Nigerian region, FG is always conscious of that, all these roads we complain about are federal roads,
During the biafra war places like aba and Onitsha were the most affected in the war everything was completely destroyed, Onitsha was the biggest market in West Africa at that time it was completely destroyed no structure was left untouched, state government have done it's part by rebuilding these cities what has FG done? Cause they were the ones that used fighter jets to destroy these cities

Bro, we in Delta state here, Warri road to Benin has been very very terrible and we have been suffering bitterly for months. We stay on the road for 5 - 10 hours for a journey of 1 hour. Thank God, the Delta state govt are now doing something temporary to remedy the situation instead of waiting for the FG because it is a federal road.

The point is that our state govts have powers and we the masses always focus on our federal govt excusing our state govts to their irresponsibilities and this is very bad. Nigeria will never move forward if we the masses do not hold our state govts responsible. There are states which receive less allocation and less IGR than Abia state, but you will be wowed at the kind of developmental projects going on in those states. This is not just about the FG

Curly hair?

You have exposed yourself.

Yes, fulanis' hair are not as kinky and tightly curled as ours. Theirs tends to be longer and loosed, naturally curled, due to their mixed berber heritage. They and the Shuwa arabs of Borno/Yobe are very similar.

shamecurls:
Tell us the difference. Is it hidden ?

No, the fulanis are known with the curly hairs, the very slender and taller height, the light skin, facial scarifications, the accent. This doesn't mean there are no exceptions, but they are in minority, same with others.

Hausas are mostly very dark skinned without any curly hair, the facial marks are different, they are shorter with comparatively thicker bodies.

Other northern minorities/middlebelters are thicker, comparatively lighter than hausas without any curly hair and very little to no facial marks.

shamecurls:
Shattap Oga!

Question was asked and you started insult.


I repeat again,how do you differenciate a Fulani man from all other Northern tribes?

I know you have no answer. Just using the question to school you.

Fulanis are easily differentiated from other northern tribes abeg. Even Hausas and fulanis can easily be differentiated.

I dont need to travel, i know how ikpeakzu is feeding ur parents kerosene in Abia. Leave Lagos and go and drink kerosene with ur people in Abia. One of the problem of Lagos is overpopulation, and it is people like u that can't stay in ur mud republic causing the overpopulation, go to ur caves in the east, leave Lagos alone.

People like you are the reason why Nigeria will never move forward because you put tribalism over common sense.

I am from the middlebelt for example, but I was born and bred and still living in Warri, Delta state. I pay my taxes here and invest in the economy of the state as an entrepreneur, are you saying that because I am not an indigene of Delta state I shouldn't criticize bad governance in the state?

Equally, there are so many Deltans and Yorubas living in my state of origin (Plateau), some have been there for generations since the time of tin minning in the precolonial eras to the extent that there are parts of Jos dominated by Yorubas. Are you saying that I who has no single economic contribution or do not pay any tax to Plateau state government should shush a Yoruba man who invests and pay his taxes to Plateau state when he criticizes the state government?

The gbagyis of FCT lost their ancestral lands for you and I to enjoy the modern amenities of Abuja. Infact, migrants from all over Nigeria including your yoruba people are now turning Gbagyi villages and towns to overpopulated slums just because they cannot afford the costliness of main Abuja and choose to live in the neighbouring villages. At least the Yoruba controlled government of Lagos state enjoys the taxes of every migrant, do the gbagyis enjoy any state tax in Abuja? Hell no.
Other people pay greater sacrifices for one Nigeria, but some of you yorubas are more selfish and think about yourselves only.

People like you deserve to be born in the era of cavemen and cavewomen. You do not belong in the modern world. I wish your children would see this comment of yours.

Well considering how close Ogun state is to Lagos and how the state and its residents have a lot to gain if only the government can lure in companies from Lagos and build housing estates. I believe Ogun state is worst of them all. All states in Nigeria aside the Niger delta states

Among all the Niger deltan states, only Akwa Ibom and to an extent Edo have had a taste of visionary leaders, the rest are failures, with Delta & Cross River being the worst. Actually, Delta is the worst!.

Wrong ranking @OP postbox.

Landmark and Bingham universities are more expensive expensive than Leadcity and Bingham than Babcock.
There are courses in Bingham like Medicine and Medical sciences/Pharmacy that go as high as 900k-1million, while the cheapest course in Landmark is 640k (my brother just resumed here this week).

Logobenz0:
Oga that Nowenuse I Know him very well. He's from plateau state. Stop looking everyone as Igbo.

Don't mind the ignorant wifesnatcher of whatever he calls himself. To him everyone who disagrees with him is an Igbo, forgetting that Igbos and Yorubas combined do not even make up to half of Nigeria's population. Are there no Middlebelters, southern minorities and Hausa fulanis in Nigeria too?

SamNaijaboy:
GEJ was President for 6 years.
How many years were you expecting him to be president Mr. Yoruba betrayed?
He should have kept to his own pact to stay for only 6 yrs. remember that the North had their tenure truncated and should have been allowed to present a replacement in 2011 but obj a Yoruba pleaded for him
Even the SS has moved on. What is with you Igbo people?

I am not an Igbo. I am from the middlebelt.

Did Buhari keep to his own promise of staying for one tenure? The north had their tenure truncated and whose fault was this? Mine?

SamNaijaboy:
Sorry but I’m a Yoruba man and I don’t want an Igbo President. For a simple reason:
They are too clannish and don’t know boundaries.
An Igbo President will fill the place with his people only and since they don’t know boundaries, will attempt to order everyone around.
They’ve always had their eyes on Lagos so trust an Igbo President to try to pull off a “state or residence” move targeting Lagos or something.

I think we should just go back to the regions or come together to break the country.
As a Yoruba man, I’m tired of both the Igbo man and the Fulani.
Don’t want either in my country if I can have it.
One kills like a deranged animal and the other is either scamming you, cheating you, or plotting to.
It’s time for the Yorubas to really take control of the SW and whoever wants to go with us and leave.
You see, we are quite different from the Igbo. We don’t seek money as aggressively as they do and that only hurts us in the SW.
A lot of the crime is perpetuated in the SW by migrants here.
These guys go to China to bring sub-standard parts and sell for the price of standard parts ripping off the SW indigenes.
A typical Yoruba man will NEVER do that to make an extra buck. They would rather go to Japan or same China and get the real thing even if his profit is less.
I’m sure there are honest businessmen from the SE but seriously I think SW is besieged right now.
Schools are full, social services are crumbling.
We need to take pause and redevelop the SW.
Most Yoruba are voting with their feet out of the SW to UK, US as well because home is no longer habitable and nice again

What we need to focus on is how to get Out of Nigeria!

Very good, I like this. However, do you think the Yorubas on their own can fight the country and secede? Impossible. You guys must have to unite with other southerners to achieve your aims cos no single region can ever challenge the core north as it stands.

Just for the records, as a middlebelt minority, I think you yorubas are more clannish and tribalistic than the Igbos. An Igbo man is very capitalistic and as such is after better performance to bring him more money than the love of his tribe. If an Igbo man has the option of employing his tribesman who is incompetent and will ruin him and a non-tribesman who is competent and will make him progress, he will readily pick the non-tribesman. This can never be the case for a yoruba.

Another example is that if you do not speak Igbo and you are in the midst of Igbos, these Igbos can readily switch to speaking English or pidgin in order to accomodate you, but yorubas even though it's just 2 of them in a place, they are ready to bring down the roof by speaking yoruba, not caring about the presence of other people who cannot understand yoruba.

Wiifesnatcher:
lolz if na emir you get there, is it not better than how they massacre your kinsmen like Christmas goat and all you coward do is to protest

Can't u see how cowardly you yorubas reason? So it is better to be enslaved as an able bodied man than to die for your freedom right?
Fulanis are also massacred by Plateau indigenes too but it just doesn't get to the news like that of the indigenes. Didn't u see that even a Hausa general was killed and sunk in the river? If you are a muslim, never pass Jos road to Bauchi or other northern states whenever fulanis attack because u will pay the price for coward fulani herdsmen attackers. Fulanis are cowardly attackers who attack small helpless farm villages with only old women and children in the middle of the night and run away into the forests. They don't stay back. That is why the likes of you muslim passersby pay for their sins.

No wonder fulanis sacked Katunga (the capital of Oyo empire). Shameless cowards. Your people, a majority ethnic group have become slaves and 2nd class citizens in their own state Kwara, yet you aren't ashamed of pointing your filthy fingers to middlebelt minorities who have resisted fulani expansion for over a hundred years.

See your Yoruba people in Kogi, they own parts of Lokoja but yet there is a Hausa king (Maigari of Lokoja). Hausa fulanis are using millions of your yoruba people in Kwara and Kogi to add to their population as northern Nigeria. Shameless foóls.

Wiifesnatcher:
you're Igbo. I've no business going thru people's profile. which Yoruba land had Fulani vigilante mention it?

if truly you're plateau you should be worry about ransacking Fulani domination in your state and not putting your mouth in what doesn't concern u

At least a fulani man is not an Emir in Jos, how about Ilorin? I think you yorubas should rather worry about a whole state like Kwara being captured and controlled by fulanis.

Chukapage:
yes your correct political apathy is a Southern problem , considering the electronic stuff do we give up ? No southern and middlebelt leaders ain't cowards they are SELFISH! Like 2011 any time they sneeze in unity the core North shivers..

They are not only selfish, they are cowards too. Apart from Ijaw leaders who saw GEJ as their own, how many other Southern/middlebelt leaders were able to roar and challenge the core-north? Did yorubas not even betray the tenure?

See the way people like Junaid Mohammed and other core-northern leaders roar out the raw and bitter truth to the rest of us without giving a damn about who is offended or hate speech or anything.

Wiifesnatcher:
no be plateau state na plantain state. stop hiding your ancestral land. a plateau indigene will focus on the Fulani domination and force of supremacy in their land and won't be talking about Yoruba interest in President

Go through my profile from 2013 when I opened my account till now and see if I am claiming a fake identity. You yorubas and Igbos have mentally reduced nairaland to a purely Igbo/Yoruba affair that everyone who doesn't agree with you guys is an Afonja/flat head.

And just for the records, the same fulani abducted and killed the daughter of a Yoruba leader, didn't they? Same Yoruba land where the fulanis are now vigilantes?

Yoruba interest in president? Is that Yoruba president going to be the president of Yoruba land alone? Or are Plateau people no longer Nigerians to be concerned about who becomes their president? What foolishness.

Chukapage:
That voters stuff is heavy rigging tactics even little children registered where as little children in the South didn't. These are all propaganda s of the core North ,They are not as populous as they make us believe next census should be electronic

The core-northern voters population might be real because these people take elections like a do or die affair. They discuss it in the mosques regulary. Everyone comes outside, even lame, blind and dumb old people and beggars are carried to go register and vote. This is typically unlike the south where most youths do not care. I voted in Warri in the last election, hardly did I see any youth at my polling center.

And who will make this electronic voting happen? Our lilly-livered southern and middlebelt lawmakers? Any system Hausa fulanis know will not favour them will never see the daylight in this country.

Chukapage:
you are WRONG here Northern population stuff is a heavy propaganda,Is it not a last Kano population count that tried to make us believe that Kano had more population that Lagos? Which you and I know was a fatal lie! A UNITED SOUTH WITH OR WITHOUT MIDDLE BELT WILL SMASH NORTHERN VOTES BY FAR! Is it not the same core not that people a dying everyday for terrorism ,Herdsmen ,infact the North is not as strong as Nigeria thinks . A UNITED SOUTH WILL DESTROY THAT ILLUSION .core not is not that populous as we think na land mass Dem get.

Northern population is not a propaganda my friend.
Don't you see the number of registered voters from these northern states?
2006 census was a sham and we all know that Lagos is more than Kano. However, registered voters are what determines Nigerian elections. Going by the voters registration in Nigeria, the core-north is the strongest force, followed by the SE/SS coalition.

Wiifesnatcher:
so why did buhari the new found god of you Igbo not defeat obj and gej respectively?


if gej had reach agreement with north PDP elites then that he will run for second term they wouldn't have stand against his second term. his breach of MOU defeated him in 2015


I'm tired of debating politics with you neophyte

I am a middlebelter from Plateau state, didn't u see it in my comment? Why still address me as an Igbo? Tribalism has so eaten deep into you guys that anyone who does not agree with you guys is automatically an Igbo.

sogodihno:
I blame the Yorubas replying fools on this forum, u know one problem about ur lots, u assume to know so much and yet u know little, all ur predictions none have come to pass, from Buhari can not win second time, to lawan can't be SP to Gbajabiamila can't be speaker. 5% people are really delusional

Bro, Buhari winning 2nd term was clearly rigged. I am from Plateau state for instance, a youth leader of my people and 80% of my people were supporting Atiku, only for the votes to show 40% vote for Buhari. On fair grounds, Buhari would never have defeated Atiku.

Ritchiee:
Believe in yourself and work towards it and God will make it happen.Stop fearing the North as if you are slaves.Power comes to the South in 2023 and Nigeria will see positive achievements.

Bro I am from the middlebelt and we have been neighbours with Hausa fulanis for centuries. I know them like the back of my palm. The core north/northern muslims are the largest voting block in Nigeria.
Southern christians are enough match for northern muslims but lack of unity is the problem. A divided south can never challenge the core north. Infact, a united south without the middlebelt may still not be able to challenge the core-north, let alone Southwest.

Wiifesnatcher:
[s][/s]

I don't take you clown serious anymore since you cooked up the childishness that Osibanjo will be drop in Buhari second term and Gbajabiamila would be sidelined from attaining the speaker post.


it's obvious you people lack the foresight of political tussle. I predicted it months back that giving Igbo VP in PDP will cost their defeat and it happened


as I said earlier APC give the ticket to southwest in 2023 and this will prompt PDP to give same southwest VP in 2023. you won't understand this but I leave you to live large on your ignorance

You are very wrong. A northern candidate will always defeat a yoruba candidate in the northern states.

PDP will not mind giving a northern candidate the ticket in an attempt to woo northern voters.

It is only we the middlebelters and northern christians who can vote a yoruba candidate over a Hausa one. Now that Tinubu is also a muslim, it may make no difference to us unless if Tinubu picks a northern christian as his deputy.

Owamudia:
As expected, pigggiidddioots have arrived to express their unparalleled envy for Yorubas...

As defeatists, they have already written themselves off the race and narrowed it to a Yoruba/North tussle. It shows they actually acknowledge they are slaves of the duo. What a pathetic mentality! What a shame!!

Who ever thought GEJ could become president

Didn't Abiola defeat a core northerner

Well, pigggidddiots are very forgetful. They never learn!!!

Bro, the era when a Yoruba can defeat a core northerner in a core northern state is long gone. Nigerians are now very much divided by tribe and religion when it comes to politics.

OROSUNBOLB:
My apologies ! I thought Bayero was a Fulani name. May the soul of your kinsman rest in peace.

It is a fulani name, but it doesn't necessarily translate to a fulani man.

hoseao:
cant believe this!! Sometimes things needs to happen up close for you to understand them, saraki was a bridge between the Muslims and christians in kadunu i spent two weeks in his palace, he was always against [b]his fulani brothers[/b]instigating violence and was always settling for peace now i believe some people are hell bent on not allowing peace to rain in this country and kadunu has boundry with bauchi state that area is a crisis area i mean serious crisis last time around all houses where burnt to ashes including his own (saraki) kadunu losing him is a very big loss. Seriously plateau state needs to tighten security there oooo ooo cos nobody to disturb them again oooo no be to dey speak grammar when it happens oooo the time to act is now

@bolded. Pls are you from Mangu LGA? How do you know that this man is a fulani man? Is Kadunu a fulani town? Since when did fulanis start answering RIT as their title?
This man is a Pyem by ethnicity, Kadunu is a pyem town under the Pyem chiefdom in Mangu LGA. This is where I am from.

OROSUNBOLB:
The victim is Fulani too.

Don't say what you don't know. The victim is not a fulani. This is my LG of origin and this man is from my tribe or is it because he is a muslim?. Since when did fulanis start bearing RIT titles?

abdulazeez1002:
Op is either a jos Christian or a southern Kaduna Christian. I know them

They have something in common with Ipobs

And what if he is? Is he really wrong? When you look at the northern region especially the core-north and see the perpetual backwardness and retrogression compared with the south, will you ever say there is anything to be proud of from such backward region?

If the OP is from Plateau or Southern Kaduna, then I would even be ashamed of him for identifying himself as an Arewa person.
I am from Plateau and God forbid for me as a Plateau youth to identify myself with that useless retrogressive Arewa identity. I am rather a middlebelter/central Nigerian.

ILLICITblood:
I'm sympathetic to the Biafra movement..

Not because I'm IBO or convinced by Kanu's propaganda.. But because I feel their pain
Other than the problem of marginalization, I sincere do know what it feels to be in the same country with Arewa..

Don't get me wrong

I'm Arewa
# BornAndRaised
And I'm tired AF

Tired of how ignorant and backward we are..
I sincerely wish I can get my country too.. Living in fear is worst than death
Welcome to Arewa

Where a full blown religious war will be orchestrated because a Christian killed a muslim's chicken in sabo
Welcome to arewa

Where alot of people are living below $1 per day yet we will kill if anyone criticizes the government

Welcome to Arewa
Where Religion is the word on the door but immorality and the likes is the order of the day

We can go on and mock the east for their fight for restructuring/secession but the truth is,after the struggle,we will still be left with our problems..

Go to school..No
learn a trade..No
We rather beg than work
The world is Moving..
All the other regions are improving..
Let's wise up or stay poor

What is the meaning of Arewa? What is your ethnic group and what state are you from?

I am from Plateau state and I do not consider myself an Arewa person. That useless identity is meant for Hausa fulani and Kanuri people and not my people.

Bro, if you are from the North-central or you are from Taraba, Adamawa, Gombe south, Kaduna south or any other northern minorities area, you should promote and champion a middlebelt identity for your people cos this where the future lies.

If you are from the core-north, then goodluck with your Arewa struggle. Arewa will never change in this life, Hausa-fulanis will never progress as a people due to their retrogressive laws and cultures.

[quote author=fritiyo post=82212862][/quote]How many communities are in the entire Bayelsa state? The smallest state in Nigeria.
If the Urhobos in Bayelsa are big enough to produce a comissioner and senator in the state, they are good enough to produce a deputy governor.

This better not be a subtle or deceptive approach to RUGA. Indigenes of these states, be wise, watchful and very careful because Fulanis are like snakes who can use any form of deception to get what they want!

OAUTemitayo:
Moro is Yorubaland. Even some parts of Edu claims Yoruba.

Almost everyone in Kwara speaks and understands Yoruba, even the minorities, but this doesn't make them ethnically Yorubas. Most Moro indigenes speak Yoruba, but it is not their ethnic group. This is similar with Ilorin where many indigenes there are of Hausa, Bariba, Fulani and Nupe origins but they speak Yoruba.

There are Nupe communities in Ifelodun too.

Perkins2018:
And the 3 local governments are bigger than the 12 local governments of the Yoruba?

Yorubas have 11 LGAs among the 16 in Kwara state.
Look at this map below, the areas in Red (Kwara north) do not belong to Yorubas, it belongs to Nupes & Baribas.

Cc OAUTemitayo

fritiyo:
Are u ok? who tell u dat there is no ijaw tribe in Delta State. the ijaws in Delta State are equal stakeholders like every other facking tribe.

And the Urhobos of Sagbama LGA are not equal stakeholders in Bayelsa state?

juman:
If uhrobo is minority tribe in bayelsa, they have right to become even governor of the state.

Shaaba lafiagi, a man from small tribe in kwara state.
He was elected as governor in 1990s.

Lafiagi is a Nupe man. Nupes are not a small tribe in Kwara state. The landmass they occupy in Kwara state is more than what Yorubas occupy. Yorubas just have the numbers. Nupes are found in 3 LGAs of Kwara state.
