During a visit to one hospital in Abuja, I met a nurse. The patient I visited simply referred to the nurse as a Northerner, although the nurse looked nothing like so. It was the APC presidential primary day and as the results were being called, the discussion switch to politics. I wanted to know which party they will settle for as northerners, between Muslim -Muslim APC or northern candidate PDP. She seriously but calmly picked offence and nearly issued me a warning never to address her or her idoma people as northerners again as they see it as disregard. It was then I learnt she was an Idoma from Benue and her name was Ada. She further explained she could speak Ibo and that they've always wanted an Apa state and prefare it in southeast. They would've joined Igala in Kogi state she explained but nearly half of Igalas are Muslims. This got me worried as a Yoruba because this pattern strongly show among Idoma people I have observed. Since Benue is largely to the East what Kwara is to Southwest, why does Benue always show eagerness in joining the south or east while Kwara are more crazy about North than some core northerners? Benue governor pulled the state out of northern governors' forum Sometime ago but people from Kwara are trying to convince the Muslims among we Yorubas the need to identify with North. It is obvious the future of the yoruba race is imperiled if topics like self determination dominate debates in the nearest future. We have no friends and we need to realise it. Why does Kwara like north while Benue wants south? 11 Likes 1 Share |

Kwara sees that they are more secure with the North than South west. That is why the EMIR is LORD over there.  Benue, after being used by Northerners to kill South-easterners has realized that the SE is actually their brother. That is what i see.  17 Likes 2 Shares |

You've said it all.. it's for sociocultural and religious affinities. However a fair balance is still maintained if one goes upwards while the other, downwards. I guess it helps keep the nation spinning around.  |

I'm a Yoruba from Ilorin It baffles me how some folks who haven't step their foot outside their state are quick to label Kwara state Fulani land Yoruba constituted 75percent of the state populations including name of areas Fulani 15precent Ibariba and Nupe 10percent No matter how you try to paint it, no sane Kwaran will be preferred to go with the North Know this and know peace 22 Likes 2 Shares |

Benue people and others in the middle belt were never conquered, in fact they literally stopped Uthman Dan Fodio and his jihadists army. However, the opposite occurred in Kwara. That state is more or less a property of Fulanis. They've also succeeded in brainwashing and intimidating some indigenous yorubas to accept Fulanis as their masters, using religion as tool of coercion. Should their be a war, Kwara will be an outpost for the Fulanis. It's like United States having a base and being in total control of Finland. It will automatically give them a total advantage over Russia. In reverse, it will be like Russia being in total control of Mexico, once there is war, it becomes an easy launchpad for invading America. 2 Likes |

I have no doubt that whatever anything that affects Yorubas also affects Kwara and Kogi Allow igbos to cry here 😄😄🤣🤣😄 That's the only thing that will make them sleep well this night bcs a Yoruba man has collected their bread and it will take good 8 years to have a chance again 😂🤣😀😂😂😂 4 Likes 1 Share |

M4A1carbine: But they didn't vote for SE candidate in the last presidential election. In fact, I myself had thought Benue was sure for Obi. But in actual sense, Tinubu had 310,000 votes against Obi's 31,000. That is Obi could only gather 10% of what Tinubu gathered. Atiku too scored 130,000 votes in that same Benue, far above. You can see that your assumption no gel at all. Many times, you people just boast on assumptions without substance. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I'm not sure if @OP is telling the whole truth here. May be only some indigenes of Ilorin who have never stepped out of Ilorin may want affinity to norther Fulani (Some Ilorin indigenes with Yoruba names are actually d descendants of Hausa/Fulani settlers). But all other Kwara indigenes from Ofa to Erinle to Oro to Igbomina even to Okun people of Kogi state see themselves as SouthWesterners and Yoruba. All the indigenes of Ilorin in diaspora see themselves as SouthWesterners and Yoruba as well. 2 Likes 1 Share |

BigBlackPreek:What we do know in simple language is that Kwara is a northern state and they have proven to be proud of that identity while Benue also a northern state is always at loggerheads with northerners and always prefers south or east For instance, in Kwara, their voting pattern aligns with north, they make no formal efforts to join south, they love their emir and the arewa sign is everywhere in the state including the state logo. They have also drawn a line against Yoruba " cultural excesses" In Benue, the opposite is the case. The voting pattern aligns with SE/ SS, the continue to make efforts to join south through APA state movement. The arewa logo is like a taboo there. Infact, suswam pulled the state out of northern governors forum https://dailypost.ng/2013/06/14/ngf-crisis-suswam-pulls-out-of-northern-governors-forum/ While Orton pulled them out of arewa consultative forum https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/04/attack-on-ortom-indigenous-people-of-benue-valley-niger-area-threaten-to-pull-out-of-arewa/ We can pretend all we want but a rapid realignment will take us by storm. |
