Hausa can never be 30

PandoraObi:
Roman Catholic? it confirm that you are worshipping the Pope that presented an idol before you to worship

It simply means that the pentecostal churches ain't recognized! Grouping them as others is derogatory because it implies that these churches are not known and have no history. They where only created by Nigerians. For you info, many of these "other" christian churches are not even recognized in some African countries they have to apply to be allowed to practise.

Abdul05:
Yoruba always rank second after the hausa not bad

So,

Power should be shared between both, yesooo

I read somewhere that the name Abdul means slave or servant. Is it true?

talk2hb1:

But worship their pastors right.
Importantly, I am more concerned with the report. It says Catholics Christians and other (lesser) Christian

I didn't see Catholics Christians and other christian there hope it is not the effects of meth, what is there is Roman Catholic and CHRISTians (CHRISTlike and LittleCHRIST)

I believe the data here by CIA are incorrect especially if they are estimates based on erroneous population conducted by Nigeria. CIA did not conduct any census and so must have based its estimates on one disputed census of the past.
Nigeria is about the only country with more population as you move into arid region, so I believe its just a systematic of supporting the Northern hegemony which started before independence.
Our population cannot be more than 150million and Hausa alone not Hausa speakers, Hausa ethnic group cannot be more than 15% of that.

Are you not Igbo, So who are those that are called Christian? where are the Kanu and Igbo Jews grouped, where is traditional religion grouped?

kmcutez:


What’s the difference between Yoruba and Igbo population? None.

If you add lost Igbo communities in Benue, Delta, Rivers, etc, Igbos have more population than Yorubas but whenever I say this people think it's a joke.

BanevsJoker:

I read somewhere that the name Abdul means slave or servant. Is it true?

go ask ur mother

Aufbauh:
Humongous population with scarce resources & opportunities.
Meanwhile Hausa population is overblown probably because most Northern minorities speak the Hausa language.

Scarce resources or untapped resources?

Benin and Togo aren't Nigeria my friend.

They are not Igbo states but a lot of Igbo communities were politically added to those states by Hausa-Fulani Military Heads of States after the Civil War to reduce Igbo strength economically and politically.


If you visit those communities they speak Igbo and understand Igbo, just as those Yoruba communities in Kwara and Kogi understand and speak Yoruba.


The civil war did a lot of harm to Igbos.


The soldier that headed the 1966 January coup you guys call Igbo coup is from Okpanam in Asaba Delta state.


When those indigenes of those Igbo communities in Delta, Rivers, Benue, etc commit crime, you guys will remember that they are Igbo but when they do good, you guys call them Niger Delta or Middlebelt

You know the truth that there are a lot of Igbo speaking communities in Delta, Rivers, Benue and some other states I may not be correct to mention. You know it, but hatred and the usual Nigerian black man wickedness and nepotism will never allow you to accept the truth but it's well, take care

The irony is that those people you claim take offense seriously when you call them igbos, especially people from Rivers State, they detest people calling them igbo, why I don’t know, same as Delta State but Rivers State is exceptional, even after the civil war they refused to give igbo people back their properties in Rivers State.

The Igbo communities in those states I mentioned also have similar cultures and traditions with Igbos. Their food are also similar. So I wonder how tribes are identified if not by dialect, culture, traditions and beliefs




Take care, you are a typical Nigerian black man who breathes hatred, wickedness, lies and celebrate nepotism and marginalization, may you inherit what you advocate and give to others.

Who ask them to do census for us?

You don't know the effect of losing a civil war.


Failure is an orphan, success is a twin.

If Igbos had won the war, many so called Niger Delta communities would have clamored to join Igbos.


During the Civil War, some communities began to denounce Biafra out of fear of federal military invasion. After the Civil War, Igbos were subjected to a lot of economic and political marginalization by the federal government controlled by the Hausa-Fulanis. This made so many southern communities to distance themselves from Igbos so that they can stand a better chance of benefitting from the Hausa-Fulani controlled federal government that was determined to destroy Igbos economically and politically after the war.


So it's normal for them to act that way.

But Goodluck Ebele Jonathan regime should have made you to realize that blood is thicker than water, he couldn't distance himself from his closest bothers the Igbos.


And if you go to core north and among Northern political elites, they see Jonathan as Igbo man, and they believe Igbo have ruled under Goodluck.

Oh my friend I don't work for any agency. Data has a base which if wrong could be a a big problem. If a good census is conducted in Nigeria and it presents our population to be short of all these data brandished all over the place, then people will fume. When did CIA count the Hausa that make them 30% of Nigerians? You can chose to believe what you like because it's from CIA, we can see how many of such data has been used to convey certain convictions. If we use technology to drive the census with open mind the world will be shocked.

No time for if buts & maybe, what if your parents never met, what if Germany had won the Second World War? What if Ojukwu’s father had not died the year before the civil war began? Odumegwu wouldn’t have had a shilling to fight, What it is, is what it is.

Nobody forced Ojukwu to drag gullible people into a war they had no chance of winning, which some as still whining about 55 years after.

Whether you are a one Nigeria or Arewa or Oodua, it doesn't concern me. Who God has blessed, no man can curse. Whether Nigeria continues or divides, I and my family have been blessed for decades that we will never know suffering till eternity, that's if only you know me in person.


If you see me advocate for peaceful division of Nigeria, it is mainly for peace to reign since hate-filled people like you prefer to live in a ethnic and religious polarized nation where hatred, killings and inequality is the order of the day, than to have a smaller nations that will enjoy peace and communal progress devoid of tribal hatred and intolerance.


May nature have mercy on you and your likes and give you reasons to change your hate-filled lifestyle.

Go and read the civil war history books written by foreigners not by Nigerians. Read the account of the war from British War historians and French historians.


Ojukwu did not start any war, stop following the bandwagon.


Let me give you a short explanation of what happened between 1966 to 1969 because my family played a key role then as part of the elites then.


Nzeogwu and other soldiers mostly of Igbo origin carried out a coup to stop the Western Nigeria political crises between Awolowo and Akintola. Those soldiers were pro Awolowo and wanted to remove Zik-Belewa government to release Awolowo from prison and install him as President. Unfortunately during the coup execution, the Igbo soldiers drafted to execute the coup in Eastern Nigeria allowed tribal pity to derail them by sparing the lives of Michael Opara, Nwafor Orizu the then Senate President, etc.


Whereas the soldiers that executed the coups in Northern Nigeria, Western Nigeria and Midwestern Nigeria did theirs perfectly and killed all the key political office holders in the regions they handled.

When this coup failed, all thanks to Maj. Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi, Ojukwu and others Nigerian officers who never bought into Nzeogwu's strict military life, Northern Nigeria and Western Nigeria turned around to tag it an Igbo coup and of course you won't blame them because no key Igbo politician was killed unlike other tribes.


Ironsi was the Chief of Army Staff and highest in Army command so he took charge of the government and made some silly mistakes again according to some of my family members who were among the players then.


Ironsi jailed Nzeogwu and Co instead of executing them, he allowed tribal pity to also becloud his sense of judgment and he paid for those mistakes with his life.


So Northerners started planning a counter coup against Ironsi. Ironsi got to know about it, ojuwku, even Gowon indirectly informed him but he waved it aside that he will handle the situation through a national reconciliation tour around Nigeria, unfortunately he got killed in Western Nigeria (Ibadan) in a bloody counter coup. Gowon was picked to replace him.


Immediately Ironsi was killed and removed from power, Northerners saw it as a sweet revenge against Igbos and started a killing campaign against Igbo civilians living in the North. Ojukwu who was the Governor of Eastern region called upon Gowon the Head of state to please control the killing of Igbos in North, Gowon stayed neutral and the killings continued and became a genocide against Igbos in the North while the federal government refused to stop it.


Igbos cried to Ojukwu the Eastern Governor to do something. Ojukwu summoned a meeting of all stakeholders in Eastern Nigeria then at Nsukka, this included people from today Imo, ABIA, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, AkwaIbom, Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross River, etc and they unanonymously agreed that since federal government of Nigeria cannot protect the people of the Eastern Nigeria, that it is better they secede and protect their people.


That was how Ojukwu declared Eastern Nigeria an independent nation known as Biafra.


Northern Nigeria political elites accepted it initially, but Britain pressured them not to and promised to support them fully to bring back Eastern Nigeria back to Nigeria. Britain made this decision because crude oil was recently discovered at Olobiri Bayelsa.


That was when Gowon declared a Police action to return Eastern Nigeria aka Biafra back to Nigeria through a military invasion he nicknamed Police Action.


There were dialogues in Ghana to find peaceful solution to avoid civil war, Ojukwu suggested a completely restructured Nigeria to enable Nigeria function as completely independent regions. Gowon accepts this in Aburi Ghana but on return, Northern elites who have met with British authorities rejected it and then Gowon sent troops into Biafra region and that was how the war started.


Ojukwu did not declare war against Nigeria. He only declared Eastern Nigeria an independent nation due to pressure from the northern pogrom. You can also Google more about the events to learn the truth.

As usual, when you guys hear secession, you start to think about your stomach, poverty is not good sha.


Ojukwu you mentioned that led Biafra to secede from Nigeria was the first son of Africa's richest man who gave Queen Elizabeth the Rolls Royce she used during her first official visit to Nigeria before independence.


He was also a Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria, so he was never lacking financially.


Majority of my family are dual citizens of great nations that if your Nigeria decides to burn to ashes tomorrow, we will still be living large. By the grace of God, at my young age, what I have built for my son and others that may come have already secured them a quality future with less effort from them.


If I advocate for Nigeria to divide, it has nothing to do with economy or finance because by the special grace and mercy of God, we are settled financially beyond your imagination. I know people like you believe the only successful people in Nigeria are those in political office positions looting public fund and those that post luxury pictures on social media in the name of being celebrities, lol, if only you understand lol



So I don't care what you think about Nigeria dividing. You are only bragiing as a typical selfish black man filled with tribal bigotry without empathy for others. You are not God. You can never be quarter as wise as whitemen that never believed a black man would rule their countries someday but it happened in USA the most powerful nation on earth to their amazement.


If God have put a date that Nigeria will divide, you or anybody have no say on that, you can only brag, chest beat and make noise as a typical wicked, selfish black man you are.


Many people including El Rufai, Tinubu, etc said Buhari is a religious fanatics that will never rule Nigeria again but when the time came, they had no option but to even help make him President. That's how destiny, time and life works.



Time will humble people like you.


And please stop being scared of poverty when you hear about Nigeria dividing, you can still be a billionaire or even the richest man in the world even in your Arewa or Oodua nation, just try and learn to be empathetic and humane in your doings in life if you want life to treat you kindly.
