Poverty index should guide in calling any nation or group 'powerful'

Resources, enlightenment of the people, pride in their culture and region, history, sustainability of the values and culture, ability to develop their region and make it thrive in peace, wealth of the region and it's people, pride in the people in their region and amount of the people living in their own region and developing it, and lastly, is the region a blessing or curse to Nigeria.

Your indices just based on numbers of people that speak the language, is a yardstick the colonial used for convenience sake, hence the tag Wazobia, because those days the colonials divided Nigeria into North, South and West, and used largest ethnic groups as yardstick to represent others...of course as a people that knows better, and knows our history and diversity better, we quickly changed it to six zones. Dwelling in that wazobia cliche is a symptom of slave mentality, and living in self denial. Powerful is not by numbers only lol... myopic topic.

Being powerful is quite different from being economically developed or ranking high on HDI.

Countries like Israel, Russia, North Korea etc are not among the most economically prosperous and neither do they rank high on the HDI but they're certainly among the most powerful nations on Earth today.

creativehubb:

Firstly your post reeks of inferiority complex, unreasonable and unwarranted topic, just to feed your complex issues.

Forget that WAZOBIA cliche, it's a slave mentality cliche the white man used to deceive you, today we have six zones, WAZOBIA is dead. Read my first post again, being powerful is not by being a curse to a country, a liability or problematic, we know the two problematic zones in Nigeria today is North and East...a people that can't coordinate themselves to enjoy peace and prosperity in their region, is not powerful.

World most powerful nations, America, UK, Switzerland, Russia, France etc... enjoy peace in their nation. Stop empty bragging. Am enlightening you, it's possible you were fooled by the wazobia slogan, but that was an arrangement of the British colonials, and it is dead. Prosperity, progress, peace and tranquility in a region are characteristics of a powerful tribe, nation or people. You are just following the wazobia bandwagon...go to Lagos today majority of street beggars are from the North, majority of people constituting nuisance in Lagos...take care of your poor people, make them stay in your region and thrive there, that is power...not your empty talk.

North Korea is not powerful only troublesome, they can be destroyed. Isreal is powerful because they enjoy peace and prosperity inside Israel, it's people are not running away from their region in droves...what normally makes people leave a place is either poverty or insecurity, so the north and east should deal with those basic internal problems first.

Lol, you've come again with propaganda to hide the real facts. Recent official data already proved that SW had more violence and fatalities than SE.

Russians are far poorer than most people from Western Europe, yet the Europeans can't dare Russia. If Russia coughs, Western Europe will catch cold. So, even if the average Northerner is poorer as you claim, it doesn't mean they're not powerful collectively.

Lol, "North Korea is not powerful, they can be destroyed"? You're not even informed at all. Even United States can't dare North Korea, talk more of attacking them yet you're here saying gibberish. Go and read about MAD, i.e. mutually assured destruction.

You said Israelis don't leave their region? Another ignorance. Jews are the most traveled people in the world!

Read my earlier post again, I talked about some people who always hide their coward nature using propaganda

Hausa.
Igbo.
Fulani.
Ijaw.

These four ethnicities above are the most powerful groups in Nigeria's history as a nation. Each of these groups are so powerful that they can fight and protect their honor like the Romans of old. They don't make noise or use propaganda to hide their coward nature.

Hausas are powerful and can stand their ground any day if push comes to shove.

Igbos are so powerful and strong willed to the point they can fight like Spartans without minding the odds are against them.

Fulanis are so powerful they're actually the only ethnic group to capture an entire state/city, convert it to an emirate and rule it to this day!

The Ijaws too are so powerful they can fight back if they really mean it not minding they're a minority. They're also lucky to have a mangrove terrain that is perfect for ambush.

These four groups I listed above are the most powerful in Nigeria and each of them can easily withstand the entire country if threatened.
