There is no Tigray as a whole domination. It’s just that most of the higher officials are Tigray but the ordinary mass Tigray are being subjected just like the rest.

Will Abyi stop Tigray officials domination in the government? Well he might reduce it but can’t stop it. TPLF is a nazi organization and it’s higher members wants to continue the revenge by being in power to the end. He will be dictated under TPLF system. Tigray regional president said that it’s a group work.

A Somali or anyone can be a PM if the higher members of the government wants it.

Hmm, seems like ET as well as Nigeria and most African countries always have 'higher members of the govt'(cabals) who are the brains behind everything that happens in a country.

So, do you mean that Tigray masses are not enjoying higher standards of living or favoured by the govt more than other Ethiopians?

If yes, then I guess that is exactly the same scenario with us here in Nigeria.
Here in Nigeria, it is the Hausa-fulani elites who dominate the government but in spite of that, the Hausa-fulani masses are still the poorest and the least educated.

Hati13:
Hey TayserMahiri,

His appointment has so far reduced the tension in Oromia region. Some Oromo that hated the government to death are surprisingly becoming straight supporters of the government after his appointment. He said “when we are alive, we are Ethiopian. But when we die, we are Ethiopia”. There are others who are more qualified for the job but he was appointed to reduce the Oromo tension.

What was that mutual difference?

I really liked the pics, especially the last one.

Very interesting. Will this new Oromo prime minister be able to break Tigray domination in ET?

Can a Somali ever be prime minister in ET?

TayserMahiri:
Some more Nairobi Wine Week

That last snap is all Kenyan presidents in one

Kenyatta, Moi, Kibaki, Uhuru, Obama

No apologies

So, you white wannabes still celebrate this your TEA & BLANKET parties right?

Believe me, you have not seen enough of Kenyans and their obsession for white people. Kenyans worship white people.

So many people just saying a lot of rubbish here.

Northerners tend to be slimmer in nature mostly because of their diet. The southern cultures have a more oily, fatty and starchy diet than the north.

Also, The climate and topography is most likely another factor. People from the Sahel savannah and semi-arid zones tend to be slimmer than those from the Rainforest, Swampy or Guinea savannah zones.

osusuallstars:
hmmm 8 hours drive from calabar to the remote village. that means from Aba to lagos. that means cross river is the largest state in Nigeria

Cross River is not the largest state. It is just very 'long'. The length of the state is many times more than the breadth. So, travelling along the state takes so much time.

Besides some of these communities are very very interior and have poor road networks. This makes access by road very difficult and time consuming.

CSTR1003:
Are you high?

Have igbos dominated the BBN yearly? Is the ethnic dominance consistent?

And who even told you that your people didn't complain. You must have been blind not to see your fellow afonja empty heads complaining like idiots.

Even the number of housemates this year had far more yorubas who all fell along the way.

Besides, how can you compare BBN to a music Award?

It sucks to be Yoruba. It sucks to be you.

Why did you not talk about Nollywood and the Nigerian football team that has always been dominated by igbos and nobody complains?

Mind you I'm from the middlebelt, but this attitude you Igbos sometimes exhibit is really sickening.

pato255:
Religion is the bane of Nigeria's development.
In fact, it is the commander-in-chief of Africa's problems.

An average Nigerian has a very mystical approach to life. and life is not mystical, it is very practical.

Now, don't get me wrong, prayer is quite important. but why do Nigerians always seek divine intervention for what Common sense can solve? Wisdom is actually key; and a lot of Nigerians are expert in all 'these fire prayers', and I ask, where has that gotten us? We believe in the atomic release of the energy of our prayers, but things still remain the same. shouldn't that tell us that the problem is more about how we live our lives rather than some demon somewhere?

Imagine going to some mountain to pray in the midnight for one enemy to die and for your business to thrive without having read at least one literature on business growth. Has the enemy not won already?

funny story: A little boy and his father was passing through one of them fire prayer churches... and the boy told his father: why are these people always here praying for their enemies to die? don't they have jobs? the father smiled and replied... God must be an expensive assassin.

Please, pray. but think also.

I am so glad that we are having more and more Nigerians who think like you do and are now challenging the religious norms.

I was born and bred in this kind of christian fire prayer home. Now, I still believe very much in prayer and the existence of a spiritual world, but I have also learnt that not every thing that we spiritualize is actually spiritual. A lot of things could be achieved with common sense, thinking patterns, physical and tactical approaches.

God punish all those who fought for useless independence and immediately handed it over to the military... The likes of Buhari...who knows nothing about governance..

Imagine what could have been if the white man had stayed a little longer.... Look at South Africa today

We still dey queue up to get their visa

You can never compare the SA and Nigerian scenario. The British would have never really developed Nigeria like SA cos they were never interested in developing permanent settlements in Nigeria.

Whatever little thing the British built or would have ever built in Nigeria was for administrative convenience and ease of transportation of the looted rescources to UK.

South Africa had a lovelier weather, climate and topography very similar to that of Europe, hence Europeans settled there and wanted to develope it to their taste.

computer0810:
good old days of our grand parents when those flat head chest beaters have not flooded Lagos with Gala inside hold up, spear part to litter our environment and fake substandard product they sell including those disable from d north always begging up and down......this country should just divide already

You forgot to mention the Agbo jedi jedi sellers, Agberos, Owomida from Oshogbo, Iwo, Ogun and Ibadan who had not yet flooded Lagos as at that time.

Absolute rubbish. Indimi was given an oil well for free by our corrupt politicians. Someone should give me a good reason why he wouldn't be rich.
Those who steal at the national treasury level are always rich na

dasparrow:
I can relate to her story. There are many abusive parents out there and oftentimes they get away with their abuse. The best thing is to forgive them and cut off all contact with them. Only then will you have peace.

Abusive parents don't change so keeping your distance from an abuser is the best way to go. And she is right. Black parents in particular are very abusive.

Yeah, this is because a lot of black parents live frustrated lives due to the harsh nature of the economy and government, hence they easily transfer all the bitterness and pains from their daily hustle upon the innocent children.

South-South Igbos do not actually know that if they can come together under one umbrella, they would automatically become the largest and most influential group in the south-south.
Instead they rather prefer to identify with their local govt areas.

SS Igbos control 2 of the top 5 most influential cities in the SS, Asaba & PH. They have let Ijaws become the identity of the SS out of their own foolishness.

So u think a fake memory card will fail to format? Dude u are funny. The best way to buy a genuine SD card is to buy from reputable stores like slot, more expensive than roadside but u are getting the real deal, that is where I buy all my SD cards. A fake SD card will format but will be very slow to write and read files. I remember a friend's fake 'sandisk' card that I tried sending a file of 1gb into.. it took almost 1 and half hour to transfer a file of 1gb. The kind of SD cards that will struggle to play high quality music files.

The best way to know if an SD card is fake or genuine is to download SD insight from the play store, launch the app and if the sd card is genuine it will show the name, manufacture date and capacity, just like the image below. And if u wanna know write and read speed, download A1 SD bench. If ur Sd class is class 4 the it should write at average of 4MB/s, class 6 should write t 6MB/s, class 10 should be around 10MB/s. If ur write speed is way off the class written on the SD card then its probably fake.

Thanks much. Pls how does one know the class of the card? Is it written on the body of the card?

5thElement:
No. The Yorubas have always had their own clothes.

So you think when the colonizers came they met us n@ked and then gave us their western clothes to wear?

Seriously?

Way before the 18th century every single Yoruba adult was fully clothed and definitely not in European clothes.

I am not disputing about native clothes. Hausas, nupes, Igalas, Kwararafans, Kanem bornus and many other Nigerians also had native clothes and were well covered before the Europeans arrived.

What I and the other guy were disputing about is western clothes. When did western clothes reach all parts of yoruba land?

profmallor:
if you've never left the shores of Nigeria before you might not understand his pained heart, when you've been to countries like Malaysia, Singapore, chine even South Africa that took off way after we did, then you ld understand the implication of being a Nigerian, or been born in the Geographical region that encapsulates Nigeria, or carrying around a green passport. When I think of who we would have been if only our leaders got it right, I weep. We would have been the glory of the black race, but here we are shaming humanity.

You've said the truth. However, a country like SA was developed by the whites. Development started in SA before Nigeria was even colonized.
For China, the communist party made it what it was today. They were leaders who were ready to die for China. Singapore is the handwork of the west to fight against the spread of communism in Asia, likewise Hong Kong & South Korea.

Malaysia is the only one here that is very much comparable with Nigeria as we started out the same time. Alas Malaysia is a somewhat religiously and culturally homogenous country unlike a country like Nigeria where every ethnic group and religion is fighting for their own individual interests than the collective good of the nation. Countries with more homogenous populations are easier to rule. This was the reason why our old regional govts were more progressive. The introduction of this current unitary system of govt was what brought us to this current disaster.

I am not excusing the failures of Nigeria, but where does a large country without a clear ethnic or religious majority make any significant development with a unitary govt system? It's impossible!

his fellow muslims have held this country hostage for almost 6o years. Abacha IBB atiku buhari shagari gowon etc they are all muslims.

OBJ is the strongest match for them.
no other president can tame the muslims in Nigeria than OBJ.

if not for OBJ we would have become an Islamic caliphate.
do you think Abacha's death was for nothing? No! these are all mysterious setbacks for the muslims. they do not care for anything but women skins and mohammed.

you never cry reach oh professor. tears plenty. your own even better. not only you even in Saudi arabia women are still crying. they just got the freedom to drive a car. they are still masked in sack cloths like masquerade.

if not be OBJ we for no get fone. we for don be like North Korea. the muslims were prepared to keep up in darkness forever so that we would have no means of reaching for help.

look at Buhari is not even talking of electricity. common electricity. he has never mentioned it. when he newly came into power he said that he just called the companies us and asked them to provide light and there was light. oya na. him credit don finish?

OBJ that allowed core-northerners to establish sharia law in 12 states? Is that the OBJ you are talkiing of? In Kaduna alone, over 5,000 people died in 2001 cos of that sharia crisis....

No southern leaders has been able to tame the excesses of northern muslims. None!

5thElement:
Well maybe in the eastern part of Nigeria.

Surely not in the western part.

And please before you decide to start arguing with me pointlessly, Google is your friend.

Ok, so you mean that by 1913, every single person in the west was wearing western clothes, down to those in the innermost rural areas? Just few years after colonialism began? Really, reason it out yourself.

When did cars start to exist? At 1913, majority of the Europeans themselves had no access to cars and 'tortise car' had not even come close to being created.

StaffofOrayan:
Where did you get that rubbish from? maybe your tribe were naked, definitely not the Yoruba's,

When he said 'clothes', I think he actually meant 'western clothes'.
Besides, most of those pics you posted showed people from royal families. Many children and the poor masses/commoners and slaves were half naked when the whites came.

5thElement:
Nonsense! No clothes in 1913? Are you ok sir?

Yes, he is very correct! Majority of Nigerians had no access to western clothes by 1913. Infact not until 1950 did most rural parts of Nigeria receive western clothes.

Infact there are many rural parts of Nigeria that did not wear western clothes not until early 1980s.

@OP Icewinz. God bless you for this post.
A lot of us have always been misled from childhood by our parents, teachers and society to think that the only succesful people in life are people who study profesional courses like medicine and become doctors.

This is a very terrible and wrong mentality which we must fight against. Medicine is so much overrated in Nigeria.

Let me add my voice to my brothers.
1. We need to start a new movement like IPOB and Massob. However this movement will not be called Biafra. It will be called Igbo nationalism movement. It will not include non Igbos. (Not yet anyway)

2. We need to get big Igbo names on board. Ezekwesili, Soludo etc. They need to be the face of the movement.

3. The activities of the movement will include radio propaganda (without insulting anyone), tv propaganda, newspaper (propaganda), blogs and social media.

4. We need to unite Massob, IPoB, Zionist movement and other Biafran agitators to this movement. The united faction leaders need to be given visible roles in the new movement.

5. We need to (through the efforts of the movement leaders) first of all pressure the Ohaneze to pass a motion supporting referandum for Igbos in Nigeria. Then we pressure state houses of assemblies to also pass a motion supporting referandum for Igbos. Then we pressure governors to adopt these motions. Next would be to get members of the national assembly of Igbo origin to introduce a motion in both houses, calling for a referandum for Igbos. (I dont expect the motion to pass in the national assembly)

6. We would then push for the Igbo nation to be recognised within Nigeria as an authonomous region. And For a premeire to be elected for the Igbo nation and recognised by govt, and for the premirer to be the head of an Igbo regional govt. And for the Igbo regional govt be able to manage resouces found in Igboland and pay a percantage to FG And also for matters such as power and energy; local policing; census and statistic collection to be delegated to the premiere and the Igbo regional govt.

7. We would go like this for a long time as an autonomous entity within one Nigeria (like hong kong, qubec or scotland etc), and then finally seek full independence from Nigeria as The Republic of Igboland. We may make certain concessions to Nigeria (for a start). Such as continuing to use the Naira; joining ECOWAS; Signing trade agreements and Maritime agreements with Nigeria; allowing free movements of people across the border and allowing for dual citizenships for Nigerians living in Igboland and vice verser.

8. We would then revisit the Niger Delta region and seek aliance if they are willing.

When we get independence, we should do away with the 5 state structure and remove all sorts of classification. We should take Igbo as one nation...one tribe....one people. No 'he is from Nsuka or from abakaliki' talk.
We would also be a democracy and republic like our fore fathers.
And if the Niger Delta joins us, we should integrate them well into the politics of the nation and then probably change our name to Biafra or any other one.
Dalu nu.

Cc bede2u nonaira3 horsepower101 igbodefendercom hiddenshadow shugavee

This is perfect and surely the way to go.
It's a pity that only few Igbo seperatists think well like you do.
The majority prefer to insult and blame others daily for their problems and think it will get them Biafra.

It's all about oil and gas. They want to be able to lay gas pipelines through Syria to Europe and Assad is not having any of that.

Flye.

I think I believe you guys about this plan of the western world to convey gas pipelines from the Arab world to Europe through Turkey.....

Perhaps you guys can throw more light in this Area with the map below. From the map I can see that Turkey still shares direct land boundary with Iraq which connects Saudi Arabia, why don't they pass the gas lines through that axis?
Also, what about Europe passing the gas lines through an alternative route like Jordan/Israel/Egypt/North-Africa/Europe?

I used to be a victim of western propaganda in the past of how they (the west) were the 'heroes and saving grace of the world', but not anymore as I got more enlightened.

DJHANDSOME:
Whites are evil, yes we know!!! but the knowledge which they gave to us in exchange for dominance is why we africans still exist today.

Nonaira3:
Yes Nigeria is the reason why our leaders are incompetent illiterate. Prior to existence of Nigeria, the amount of corruption, political backwardness and stupidity was not present when our ancestors were not sharing a state with you niggas. In fact, the europeans even recorded that Igbos practiced semi-democracy prior to their arrival meaning the people contributed to the leadership of Igboland. Last I checked, prior to our ancestors sharing a nation with you people and sadly, we had this incompetence "leaders" as one of us, any Igbo leader found for corruption or anything that is detrimental to the well-being of the community was thrown to evil forest and family banished from the land. Unfortunately, in this shithole, they are protected as long as they are in the leading party. And sadly, our people do not seek their downfall due to you lots not seeking the downfalls of your own corrupt leaders but seeking ours. In addition, you lots are quick to inform us how most igbo leaders were trained in North or South West. Human beings tend to replicate behaviors they pick up from the environment they grew up in according to psychology.

Are you sure you are a mentally stable person? Were we the ones who asked the British to come down here to colonize and amalgamate us with you Igbos? See me see trouble oo.
Why did your Igbo leaders as at the time of independence not tell the British loud and clear that they needed their own country and would not be able in one Nigeria? Just like the founding fathers of Pakistan told the British clearly at Indian independence that a united India btw muslims & Hindus would never work and the British saw reasons with them and divided India by religion at independence.

Blame your fathers and not us. The north even rejected independence earlier but Zik came along and kept on begging for one Nigeria, till Sardauna accepted, hence we gained our independence later than Ghana?

Naive teenagers who know nothing.

Besides, prior to independence, Igbo land was the most primitive of all Nigerian areas. In spite of the fact that you people were closer to the coasts. No Igbo civilization could match that of Kwararafa kingdom from present day middlebelt. Hence, even the Igala kingdom that was subject to Kwararafa ruled Igbos in Nsukka axis for donkey years.
Infact till date, whenever the Attah of Igala land is celebrating his birthday or anniversary, you need to see the calibre of traditional leaders from Nsukka that pay homage in Idah! ........ I witnessed that in the last anniversary of the Attah. And you can imagine that Nsukka is one of the largest Igbo sub groups, if not the largest sef.

This why majority Anioma people and Rivers people and even down to Onitsha prefer to take pride in the Bini kingdom. Mind you, I was born, bred and currently living in Delta state. So I lived with your people and know how many of them take so much pride in the Bini kingdom.

Really, what did Igbos achieve pre-colonialism compared to what the Yorubas, Hausas, Binis, Kwararafans and Kanem-Bornus achieved? Osu caste system?

Abeg let us not go into another axis.

Name which Nigerian election that was not corrupt free? Name which Nigerian leader that was actually elected by the people? You mean the same Obiano reelection that was boycotted and even reported by several people during that time of ballot stuffing by leaders likewise, some INEC officials who low key supported the Biafra exposed the results of their area with picture to back them up which ironically had different results from what INEC actually reported aka the corruption that shithole is known for likewise bribery to vote him in. Spare me your nonsense.

So are you trying to say that pro- Biafra Igbo leaders would have won politics all over Igbo land if not for Inec? Or what exactly is your point?

Ojukwu formed APGA, how much did you people support APGA? Ok, let me agree that INEC rig the governorship elections, what about the state electoral commissions organized and run by Igbos alone?

People who never want to take responsibility but always blame others for their woes. Nonsense.

Nonaira3:
You see your ignorance. The lagos bill was for every region to contribute money for lagos. SEDC is for money coming directly from all SE region ALONE!! Know the difference before stupidly comparing apples and orange.

And when have Yoruba ever supported Igbos for any developmental aspect for the region to even remotely think of supporting them in an outright thivery for the "special status bill for Lagos." Name a reason they should have supported Lagos for all regions to pay them?

For this SEDC bill that was rejected in the House of reps, I think the problem must have been a misconception on the parts of many who think that the bill was to be funded by the FG.
This was what was carried in the news. Some house of rep members argued that since Imo & Abia were beneficiaries of NDDC, hence there will be no need for another commission.
Well, the bill has scaled for second reading in the senate. Let us see what it would become of in the senate.

No, we decided to give you Niggerians that hate your ancestors have given us since lord luggard and his LovePeddler of a wife dragged us in this hellish hole together.



Let me say it again, you Niggerians should rot in hell.

See who is talking about others giving them hate at first.
Who started the hate first? Perhaps, if you guys had not started the first coup that disrupted the peace and agreed independence settings of this country. We would have known who would have given hate first.
People who started hate by killing many other top-ranking Nigerian leaders and openly laughed at them to their face in the north are talking about others giving hate first. Smh.

Oh what a nice excuse. You asslick the north because you share neighbors with North. Last I checked, you middle belters share borders with SW and SE as well and last I checked, the only region you lots have asslicked repeatedly was North. You asslick because your community were benefitting the status quo of this useless nation until the north started showing you they still deemed as beneath them as far as they concerned. Afterall, many of the past leadership in which we call North leadership have been you middle belters as well. Despite, your repeated attempt to say the Fulani/Hausa are the only set that have benefitted the status quo.

Yes, parts of the middlebelt share boundary with the SW & SE, but the majority share boundary and have had more historical relationship with the north.
Most importantly, the middlebelt was classified politically as north by the colonialists. So, for many decades, we all looked up to Kaduna for political direction. We opposed it in the Willinks commission of 1956, but the British never listened to us. What were we to do? Fight the British?

Point of correction, we were not benefiting from the One Arewa status quo, if we did, why did we tell the Willinks commission of 1956 that we wanted our own region?

If we did, why did we form our own political party called the UMBC (United middlebelt congress), which played opposition politics in the Northern region and even National politics? This party dominated politics in much of the middlebelt during the regional govt.
You might be a naive teenager, so, go and read up about that before spewing thrash here!

What about the Tiv riots of 1966 against northern inclusion? Small boy who knows no history.

In addition, okorocha and Co ass licking to North has an excuse was due to their unholy birth and raising area. In addition, Okorocha was said to the birth child of a northern. What's worse, an illegitimate child trying to gain father's love or a man seeking power despite continuous to his people by the lots he ass lick.

Ok Okorocha was born in the north, what about Uzor Kalu? Amaechi?
Was Nzeogwu not also born in the north too? Did that stop him from killing northerners? Fake useless stories you people feed to your moronic masses in Aba.

And what told your savage ass that my contribution to IPOB have been online only? My best friend and I opened a Biafra group in America and that group have repeatedly worked with the US chapter of IPOB which have repeatedly went to Biafra and protested alongside the Biafra chapter stuck in that shithole you fool. My cousin is one of the leaders of Asaba chapter of IPOB, which again have worked tirelessly to increase awareness of Biafra sepeartion from your shitheads in Anioma. The only reason IPOB have not turned violent is because they are ignoring my and several ipob members statement to defend ourselves.

Any scallywag can claim anything online. Until you show us pics of you leading the forefront of the violent protests you are clamoring for in Nigeria, spare us these sermons.

Oh you mean the same thread I was present in. Tell your Bullshit to the person that listens to your ignorance. Last I checked, that thread they spoke of Zik establishing the first university to combat the generational lies of Yoruba. In fact that thread was more taunting Yoruba on their usual propaganda. Nowhere did they rejoice or praise Zik rather praised Igbo. Discussing of a historical fact is not praising incase you don't know. I guess to you me talking about when Nigerian gained her independence compared to South Africa would be I praising this shithole.

What is the difference? If Zik did not bring that University, would you ruffians have had anything to brag with?
''Love me and love my dog''. Hate Zik and hate every good thing that comes with him.

I love how you fools love accusing Ironsi of destroying your shithole progress. How long was Ironsi president? Last I checked, he lasted LESS than a year before he was assassinated. He removed your unitary system thus "stopping your progress" then explain to me, what stop you lots from changing it back to regain your progress after he was eliminated? Yep he destroyed your progress in LESS THAN A FUCKING YEAR.. What a nice way to excuse your incompetence, stupidity and backwardness on a president that wasn't even a president.

Well take back the hands of time if you can and undo Ironsi's mistake and see if we wouldn't have been better of as a nation by now. You cannot judge something without testing it.
Besides, if you reason well, you would have known that a single mistake of a minute is enough to perish an entire generation and country. And some mistakes are just too costly and irreversible. You do not even need a whole day to make a mistake as a human that would destroy your life
Besides, If Ojukwu had not declared independence, Gowon would not have created any states and after power would be handed over back to civilian rule, we would have gone back to our regions.
Hope you can see how Igbos are the pioneer cause of all of Nigeria's problems?
First Nzeogwu, 2nd Ironsi, 3rd Ojukwu.

What a nice way to blame whites for your asslicking. Yep it's whites fault that middle belters licked awera ass to maintain status quo until recently. Let's blame Europeans as usual....typical negro mentality.

If only you knew what evil plans the British had for northern minorities ehn, you will not utter trash with your mouth. All in the bid for administrative convenience, the British wanted to destroy the identity and existence of northern minorities. If not for our fighting back, you Igbos would have been more doomed and utterly voiceless in Nigeria today. Cos Hausa fulanis would have directly controlled more than half of Nigeria and share direct Neighborhood with you people. Then let's see if you Igbos who were conquered and ruled by Igalas in Nsukka and ruled by Benins in Anioma would have been able to defeat the Hausa fulanis who conquered parts of Jukun who conquered Igalas who ruled your own people in Nsukka.
Our people were able to wage the caliphate for almost a century.

That aside, during colonial rule, the British classified the entire Plateau under Bauchi emirate for instance, but our people rejected and broke out. In some areas, our fathers had to kill every fulani ruler sent to rule our areas, that was when it dawned on the British that some of us could never be under emirates and we were granted our own chiefdoms, yet, some were still dubiously manipulated under emirates.

The British denied the propagation of our native languages and radically promoted Hausa language as a lingua franca in our areas, infact, in some places like Southern Kaduna, it was so bad that almost all the towns were named in Hausa language, the indigenous names were destroyed.

Infact, if I start to list all the havocs that the British did to our people just for the sake of administrative convenience together with the north ehn, the entire nairaland would not be enough for me.
The fact that most of us do not cry of victimization and hatred from everyone always with victim mentality like you Igbos do, doesn't mean that we are not doing anything about it.

Most of Southern Kaduna for instance was under Emirate rule from Zaria not until 1992 and 2001, when they all broke up from Zaria rule with series of crisis. Today, they all have their own chiefdoms and rule themselves. Did you Igbos help them achieve that? No, they got it by themselves.

And I have a question for your blockhead. If we middlebelters have been enjoying one arewa since, why have we always been having fights with Hausa fulanis since before independence?

Go and check about the 1956 crisis in old Bauchi province. That was when it started.

Oh and btw: you are speaking to a westerner before you go on your rampage on "western minorities supported one western region." Most western minorities, my people included, were against western region hence most voted to be removed from western region. The fight for that removal started when whites were present.

Teacher don't teach me nonsense. Most Itsekiris & Edo north people (Akoko edo axis) were against creation of the midwest region. They thought they had more in common under yoruba leadership than under Benin leadership and they voted against it, but the Aniomas, Urhobos, Binis et al who are majority supported and won.

Oh story that touches. Gowon and Babaginda must be chinese. I love how you middle belters love to play innocent as if you think we aren't aware that middle belter played a hand in the looting of this shithole to being the miserable hellhole it is.

Still does not remove that the most backwards times of Nigeria political was when both you middle belters and the northern muslims ruled? Yay or nay?

Babangida claims to be from Gbagyi land in Niger state just like Abdulsalami, but go and ask any core Gbagyi man, they will tell you the truth.
Many Hausas migrated to Niger state area since colonial periods since Niger was always under the same colonial province with Sokoto and even the same state with Sokoto, not until 1976.
This made many Hausas heavily intermixed with the locals.
Babangida's father is from Sokoto originally. He is hausa by blood. There are so many hausas who claim Niger state, but because of islamic bond and sympathy, most Niger indigenes do not challenge these Hausas just like Plateau people for instance challenge Hausas and deny them indigeneship in Plateau state.
The former and current governors of Niger state are half hausa by blood (or even full hausa as some people claim). Most of we from other parts of the middlebelt do not even consider Niger state as part of the middlebelt. They seem to share more in common with Hausa fulanis. Can't you see that they were the only state to accept Sharia law in 2001 in the middlebelt?

Besides did the so called middlebelter Babangida not also kill Orkar a fellow middlebelter?

As for Gowon, he grew up in Zaria with Hausa fulanis. Gowon's family are even mixed with Hausas. That was why they wanted to bury his father in Zaria. You can imagine that. Gowon was also a nationalist.

The only thing I somehow remain thankful to Gowon for doing is the creation of Benue-Plateau state and other minority states which broke the majority groups hegemony over minorities in Nigeria.
Arewa hold over the middlebelt was entirely broken, not until your so called 'middlebelter' Babangida brought back the geo-political zones and brought back the middlebelt under the north as North-central.

As usual, you illiterates screech whatever illogical nonsense that comes into una brain. So Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB which began during GEJ rule and gained a high followers during GEJ RULE till the point their radio show became one of fastest growing radio show during GEJ rule and where Igbo leaders began getting insulted by the mass during GEJ rule did not occur bah. The same group also sent a letter to GEJ to divide the nation and also contributed to the high boycott in election by SE and some SS during the 2015 where not present. Or maybe to you, since Igbo was "benefitting from GEJ rule", the actions during that time by IPOB which had HIGH FOLLOWERS by IGBO during that time was unnecessary. Or maybe their actions became prevalent to you only when you learned about it. As usual, the niggerians logic Never seizes to amaze me.

So, who then were the people shouting GEJ till 2019 all over throughout 2014? Fulanis?
Majority of Igbos never talked about Biafra during GEJ's rule. It was after then that 'Biafra or death' chanting took over Igbo land.

I suggest research which ethnic group started the fight for niger delta republic. How long it's been going on and who is still fighting for it till this very day.


Yet ironically enough, the middle belters were the core fighters and the main leader when a man actually DIVIDED the nation. If you truly was in support of empanication out of "the so called "Northern leadership.", shouldn't have been a trigger for you lots to also get yourselves out. Ironically enough, you lashed on your "Awera" and came seeking those bold enough to separate themselves from the North. That ALONE proves your so called fight was nothing but an attention seeking act. Secondly, the Southern minority were divided during the most. My part of the region was also neutral during the Biafra war despite being Igbos until your niggeria invaded and slaughtered my people. My bestfriend grandfather was a Biafra soldier and according to him, majority of his people did not fight for Nigeria despite Niggeria repeated attempt to rewrite history and say they did. Most of the Biafrans main foot soliders fight in modern day Akwa-Ibom and Calabar region were the minorities. Remind me again, was it not the Eastern minorities that Adekunle held in captive and tortured on the claim that "there might be Igbos among them?"

Stories. Why then was there jubilation all over minority eastern areas when the new states were created? They were songs of freedom all over.

Why were all Igbo properties seized in PH by these same minorities?

Of course some minorities supported Biafra, but it was so clear that majority did not. If not there wouldn't have been so much joy when the Nigerian troops arrived in most parts of Rivers & Cross river.

We are having meetings. See this nigga. I repeat my question: WHAT TANGIBLE THINGS ARE "not supporting status quo" masses doing? NAME ONE? Beside loud mouthing on social media

Maybe we should start rioting before we prove a point to you?
What could be done other than Southern/Middlebelt leaders coming together to talk about it and plan towards it? Not everyone do things Kanu's way.

GEJ a southern minority became president, sth which would have been impossible on a normal day, but it happened, not with gra gra. Not everything is achieved with gra gra.

Is that right, last I checked there was a VIDEO on this Internet of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB, protesting for Niggerian government to do something about Boko Haram. An act that was affecting your people more so than Igbos. I guess you were sleeping when the "not supporting mass Niggerians" were repeatedly wishing them death on social media before he ended up hating you lots and started preaching that fucking hate you gave. Now you want to play the victim.

Kanu's hatred was more and louder than whatever true concern he showed for the nation.
Even at that, a man John Danfulani came from Southern Kaduna and identified with him to the extent that Kanu was planning a rally in Kaduna. Did you see anyone from Southern Kaduna condemn John for identifying with Kanu or dissociating themselves from him?

Why don't you people talk about that? Were there not yorubas like FFK & Fayose who always supported Kanu?

Like I always keep on telling Ipobs. Many of us other Nigerians (excluding Hausa -fulanis and yoruba muslims to an extent) actually believed in Kanu's ideas, we did not just buy the hate-based nature of his popularity & campaign. It was just too extreme.

Oh really. Yes you must have been in coma. Do you want me to link you up to SEVERAL, not ONE, but SEVERAL threads on this forum as well as other news platform where Massobs were reported killed by Niggeria leaders and you Niggerians rejoiced and wished more death on them. Do you want the links because I would GLADLY do so right now.
Oh let's not forget Nnamdi Kanu was a member of Massob. And one of the main reason he felled out with Massob was due to how they were reacting to Niggerian masses hatred towards the group. Let me guess, Massob preached "hate speech" to una as well hence you delivish lots of the "not supporting status quo community" rejoiced their death and wished more death on them right?
Clap for yourself for the excuses

To the best of my knowledge, Massob was also violent. Did they not attack and harass innocent traders and citizens too? They were nothing but a visionless group of swindlers if you ask me, and men did they swindle many gullible easternerns. Lol.

I somehow preferred Nnamdi Kanu, funny enough. He was louder, he had courage, he was somehow ingenious with the idea of starting a radio, but the hate-filled nature was just sth else.
