The aftermath of the recent killing that happened in Uromi although I totally condemn it, has shown that NIGERIA is designed to favour the North.
There has been reported killings by fulanis in Ondo, Ebonyi etc recently, no northern politician came out to condemn it, even the president Tinubu who is from the South never spoke about it.
Then one happened in Uromi and Tinubu suddenly find his voice.
Where was Tinubu When 2 kings were murdered by fulanis herdsmen in Ekiti?
Northerns are attacking Peter Obi because he said the root of the problem should be addressed.
I think it's time to divide this country
We can't continue pretending and worshiping the North because we want their votes.
If the entire South is United, the North won't be bullying us because of votes.

Lol. They have colonised the South through spiritism.

Yes nigeria is designed to favour the north but their lives is also not safe in nigeria they can still get killed during any crisis they caused.

The Problem with people like you is that you start off badly by assuming that there is something called the South. Such does not exist. Tinubu and his boys only cobble that lexicon whenever it is convenient for their wayward political pursuits. There is nothing like southern Nigeria post independence. At most what we have are the North, the West and the East. If there are more devaluation, then we have the Midwest and the middle belt. These are the groups that you can talk of as rigid political zones whether officially recognised or not. If two of these groups align to fight for a cause, the center will definitely feel the pressure.

The south west has made it clear many times that they are with the North. Infact in recent times, they have shown more allegiance to the far North than to any of their neighbours immediate. This is not a coincidence. Akintola was doing the same thing even on the night he was packed off to hell. Politically, the Southwest has decided to align with the North. We should respect this. In matters like this, you should see Tinubus actions based on this reality. He is a willing stooge of the north. The rest of the south should therefor align and confront these mass mauderers as a unit without waiting for the southwest.

It was this age long alliance of the s/west and the north that has pulled this country backward.

What is the definition of age long?

From 1960 to 1999, the SE was in Alliance “politically” with the North and the Yoruba are in opposition.

Yoruba fully ally with the North in 2015 and that is the first time it started.

So why put the blame on the Yoruba when “age long” in this instance favor Ibo more.

They are bullying you because you are united with the North in your perpetual hatred of Ndigbo.........so what has Nnamdi Kanu been saying since 2015,,,,, that has led to his detention for nearly 5 years since 2015! Nigerians are not a serious people, sha!

who are the rest na? is it the Ijaws or binis that will unite with the Igbos? in fact the Binis sef dey try but see Ijaws..........You can never know where they stand on any issue.....Oyel is what they worship and they always feel Ndigbo are coming for their Oil god.........That nation is going to tear up itself sooner than later! If the world does not intervene soon...........Africa may soon have the worst civil war it has ever known start in Nigeria! All the elements and factors support this view.................let us pray for ourselves!

The south west thinks they are playing smart politics. We only have south west, south east and the north and others like middle belt.
This south issue was carved by Tinubu and his politicians to perpetually share the presidency with the Fulanis alienating other zones with fraud population numbers.
They know what to do but will not do it. Living freely doesn't mean you should be destroying other people's livelihood by force with the support from the government. People can't go to the farm even with this hunger. Everything should not be politics. And the elders in the north supports it. That is why some Fulanis is a suspect in other zones.
Carrying gun whether dame or automatic without license is against the law in Nigeria but not for the herdsmen. Without equity, no nation lives in peace. Instead of unifying, they are dividing with intimidation. Together we can make this country great. Tribalism and nepotism has done enough.

ANY LEADER THAT DOES NOT BENEFIT EVERYONE IS AN AUTOCRAT.

Don’t let IPOBs gaslight you. It’s always a sorrow for them when they realised the strategy the adapted that crumbled on their heads, the southwest decided to toe that path strategically, and it pan out well for them! They hate themselves for it! Zik started the betrayal of aligning with the north to spite awolowo! But being that they were not smart divinely like the Yorubas, they are always use as doormat by the north! But Yorubas has always been a different nuts to crack , we know how to domesticate anyone ! Buhari learnt this too late if not for tinubu intervention in his plight, his affiliations with the ibos would have ended his career!

Plenty times nau. The first republic was btw zit and the North. They gave him prime minister that doesn't have much authority.

Even for 1979 and 1983...

Bandits killings are a daily occurrence in different parts of the North, how many times do you see displayed outrage from politicians?

Bandits killings in the South are nowhere close to what obtains up North

Even though I didn't see much wrong with what Obi said, he nonetheless shouldn't have brought up killings of Edo people in the same statement, which only served to undermine the gravity of the incident. He should have made a separate statement for that and should have generalized it because it's a general problem across the country

Bandits are criminal gangs who criminally ransack communities...the Uromi killings were carried out by regular citizens against innocent citizens. Not addressing it could lead to social upheaval and upending of social peace and order. The potential implications could be dire

The main problem is the ghosting of authorities in dealing with crime in general in the country, including widespread attacks on communities
