This is absolutely my opinion.

During the agitation for Nigerian's independence, the freedom fighters were fighting the colonial masters who had given to the constituents partners of Nigeria spouses of strange bedfellows. You wouldn't blame the colonial masters; back at home, the UK ran the same government that coerced the constituent parts led by England patriarchy.

They didn't see why such would not work elsewhere. They tried to overlook our peculiarity as a biblical, Tower of Babel. They tried to do the same in India, one Mr Jinnah thwarted the process and got Pakistan out of union with India. Awolowo tried to do same by suggesting secession clause, it was denied by Nnamdi Azikiwe. The British also in favour of the north gave power to the North.


Less than a decade, the union began to get serious problems. The reality dawned on igbos and Zik. They, and yoruba are the only major tribes in the south. In the north, Hausas and fulani are the majority. The smaller groups are not any threats to whatever happens in the country politically.

The theory proposesd by Awolowo seems to be the way out. That proposed cannot be used since not backed by any law. Military action has been employed by igbos it failed, and will still fail by any groups who would wish It.

However, there must be a solution. The youths believe that bringing a third force, Obi would change the trend. It failed. Obi himself is a politician of the same stock and philosophy, who suddenly became a hero. I had to support him for some shallow reasons. On a closer look after the election, I realized that, although, he might have the economic know-how to solve Nigerian's economic problem, but the problems of Nigeria is not absolutely economy. It is a political system that have not allowed the economy to work. Obi did not have any political structure then and now. I imagine an Obi as the president with the ' corrupt ' oppositions in the legislature. It would be hell for him to achieve his economic policies.

Against this backdrop, I want to point out that the Hausa -. Fulani that holds the nation to ransome are the rulers in the north. They plant their people everywhere. I remember one Sodangi , whom they said was from fulani extraction, that became senator representing a constituency in Nasarawa State. It was when Obasanjo starting to appoint middle belt people, some christians, that the eyes of the middle belters began to think of their identify and political importance than mere serving and servicing Hausa - Fulanis.
Today, the paradigm is shifting.

Yoruba as a race is sandwiched by religion and enlightenment ideas between the other tribes. Either way, they cannot be sidelined.
One problem to solve, which I think, above all is to preach, encourage, coerce, slander the small groups in the north to have their own minds different from a northern oligarchy leaders.


It wìll still take a southern political thinker to structurally adjust the system. It must be a man of guts. The fellow who can dismantle the structure without raising dust. Obasanjo introduced an unwritten six geopolitical zones registered in our minds.

We need more than that. We need to further break the chain that fraudulently binds north together. This is the primary work of any southern president Jonathan, a circumstancial president had the opportunity. He blew it on the altar of selfishness.

Tinubu is there now. We need self identity and determination first. We need to throw off the bondage of Hausa - Fulanis to break even as a nation. This is the primary assignment of a southern president.
Long live Nigeria.

@ bolded, Tinubu was voted by the North, and other well meaning Nigerians from other geopolitical zones.
They trusted him to protect their country, they didn't vote for Tinubu to help them clip the wings of the North.
It is a mind set like this, that made your candidate lost woefully at the polls.
The North is not the reason some governors are bereft of ideas in the south.
The North is not the reason for Nigeria's battered image all over the world.
If you're looking for a president that will help you clip the wings of the North, wait till your candidate gets in.

I agree with you totally. Tinubu does not need to clip wings. If you are a northerner or wherever, educate the small groups in the north to have self identity and determination.



I lived there and know what I am talking about.

How does it pain the Yoruba man if a Tera man from Gombe or the Nupe from Niger or the Tiv from Taraba say 'I am a northerner' ?

I agree with you to some extent.
Middle belts people have lost it despite the fact that they've produced great head of states like Gowon, danjuma, babangida etc, if care is not taken, they will all turn to hausa fulani in the next 50 years.

But saying fulani is the sole problem of Nigeria is not right at all, some myopic igbo leaders has caused irreversibly damage in the first republic by selling the whole south to the north.

Also, don't be surprised that igbos are still the main problem of the South, deep down they are still against restructuring thinking they still have chance to rule over their betters

It wouldn't pain yoruba man at all cos he doesn't see the difference

That is not the issue. The issue is not Nupe l is the political insensitivity of northern politicians.

normally u doesn't deserve to be given attention but I want u to know that propergander will not hide tinubu's incompetent, tinubu's Yoruba nyash is opened for everyone to see. He is incapable and has shown that with his dead nepotistic brain he can't move Nigeria to greatness. Buhari nepotism is not limited to just his zone northwest but instead the whole of north and south west were involved,but tinubu's own is just youruba's that he is appointing,and with all this u want other southerners to fight for tinubu? he is on his own

MightySparrow:

Lol,

and the only way for northerners to address their politician's 'insensitivity' as you put it is to balkanize themselves and fight each other?
In effect giving others (Like yourself) who never wished them good the opportunity to destroy them?

How will the Yorubas treat their own politicians insensitivity? By denigrating the thrones of Ife and Ibadan and displaying an every man for himself attitude?

Just be straight forward for once in your life.

First things first.
Peter Obi lack the capacity to transform a society, he couldn't transform Anambra in 8 years but somehow, folks are so deluded he has the capacity to transform Nigeria?
U can't be importing goods and Iying to the people u will turn the country to a productive country, if he believes in production, he will be producing and not importing.
Another thing u need to know, the northern tribes such as those in Benue, Taraba, Plateau, Southern Kaduna, Kogi, Abuja knows fully well that they are not Hausa-Fulani, they are not answerable to Hausa-Fulani, u can see it from their voting pattern, what they need is to have leaders in their societies who are visionary and cause rapid transformation, the country can't continue to blame their failures on Hausa-Fulani, if the country comes to a point of breaking up today, Hausa-Fulani will happily break up, they built some of the most successful kingdoms in history of Africa, Kanem-Borno empire is one.
Blame the northern tribes for their lack of self awareness not Hausa-Fulani, the Hausa-Fulani is not holding them bound, they are holding themselves bound.
Look at Benue for example, the tension between Tiv and Idoma is very high, Tivs made it a point that no other tribe will govern the state apart from them, the Idomas cañ't come out of that shackles, same as Igede, the Ufia and other various tribes there.
Why is election in Kogi so tough?
Because Ebira don't want to cede power to Igala because they know that if Igala holds power again, they will never allow them to touch it.
All these tribes made ènemies of themselves preventing their own growth and somehow, we turn around to blame Hausa-Fulani?
Let's be sincere in this country for once.
If the Yorûbas support a break up, same as lgb0s, Hausa-Fulani will not stop it.

Game wey Yorubas been dey play since Oyomesi, I don't understand how Yoruba state of mind should be anyone's headache.
They want Yorubas' to turn SW to theater of confusion, they see Yoruba self control as weakness, but now they see Yorubas' self control as wickedness.
Imagine a situation where a group of never do wells are always trying to drag Yorubas' into their senseless battles with others.
They have brains but can't make proper use of it, always threatening war with those who are way ahead of them.
Bunch of clowns.

What does a Nupe man or Tera man or Birom msn gain except they are deceived by Islam for votes and rubbed of positions. They marginalize their Christian arna. They christians ate northerners for votes alone, are second rated people when it comes to appointment.
The recent preaching of sheikh Gumi on the crave for northerners to always be in charge of the military and another fellow from Sokoto on the victory of one David Ombugadu in gubernatorial election of Nasarawa State are pointers to the deception of the Hausa - Fulanis.

Muslim north should always be at advantage of who lives or dies. A Birom christians, kanuri Christian is not fit to be a northerner or for any appointments or live.


What exactly is your argument?

And you have their best interest at heart, much more than the ones that give them platform and opportunities commensurate with their strength and population, you who chased others from polling booths? Or don't they get rights? at the very least to vote?

Similar opportunities that you deny your so-caled 'southern brothers (when you need them, to be discarded after use).

Through Buhari's 8 years, a minority northerner was his SGF, against the bourdillion masters wishes atimes. The current SGF was salvaged by Buhari after his devastating loss.

Adamawa is today what it is because of the Atiku's, so is Gombe and Bauchi.
Dogara became who who is due to Tambuwal, whom your masters lackeys now accuse of betrayal along with numerous others.

When will you drop that your infamous double-facedness?
