The sprawling 5,000-hectare campus in the capital city of Kwara State in western Nigeria, hosts more than 50,000 students and nearly 4,500 staff. It is normally a hive of activity, but by late March 2020 – with lecturers refusing to return to class coupled with the government’s national lockdown measures for COVID-19 – there was an exodus of students.

Soooo is it northern Nigeria?

It is a Yoruba territory.

You need to study Geography, honestly, then you go know why.

It'ss a Yoruba conquered territory. Every one knows that

The question should have been why Nigeria calls Kwara a Northern state

Take a proper look at the geographical location of kwara state on the map of Nigeria and tell us what is northern about it ? As a matter of fact there is nothing northern about kwara Kogi,Benue,Taraba and some parts of Niger state. Nigeria's composition,as presently constituted,is fraudulent ! It is a political fraud that's designed to favour a section of the federation and that is why nothing is working therein.

became Nigeria is in west Africa.. chikina

True

Yes now..they know the truth more than us...
Kwara is western Nigeria and Yoruba for that matter!

Biodun556:
True

SO YOU DON’T HAVE A FULANI NAME

They care more the geographic location of Kwara and not geo-political location.

Because it is in the west of Nigeria

Please allow yorubas to lick their wund in peace.
Olakpa.

I'm a proud Yoruba man

NA SO

The Nigerian map will answer your question.

cocolacec:

North Central. It belongs to the North

Why are other tribes more pained about Kwara than yoruba people themselves? What is the concern of an Ijesha man with kwara when he too was fighting the people of kwara and Ibadan for his freedom?
What is the business of an ekiti man who was also fighting against kwara at the time over the loss of kwara as a yoruba (that word did not exist at the time) territory?
What is the concern of an ijebu man with kwara…I can go on…but to cut the long story short, yoruba people are not losing sleep over kwara why are you?

It's a multiethnic

Let's not

Parts of Kwara can be considered historically and culturally south West but even that under went changes.

One should always talk with facts, historically these places were North to always resort to lying about how things come about should be or tagging them fraud because it does not suit your political predilection is not just it. You obviously know little about the North's history.

NaijirianKing:
It's a multiethnic state, Hausa, Fulani and Yoruba speaking tribes share the state.

It is a Northern state by geography, heritage, affiliation, religion and culture, but has members related to tribes in the SW, which some may even consider Yoruba.

Overall, Kwara used to be part of the Sokoto Caliphate, this is where the focus should be and not where it is "located".

Nonsense i am from Kwara state and we Yoruba majority belong to Oyo empire not invading Sokoto marauders/bandits.
Islam has been in Yorunaland before the fulani came to steal our seat of power by killing Afonja who trusted the pretending fulanis.
Learn your history before claiming what doesnt belong to you.Auzubillah and lanatulahi allehi to bandit Alimi,the betrayer of Afonja,his trusting friend.

It's the same way they refer to both SE/SS as 'Southeast Nigeria'

Kwara is even a Nupe word for a river. Kwara state was created by Gowon or so. Kwara was never part of the Sokoto caliphate.
