The North Knows by naijacruise419(op): 1:41pm On Apr 06, 2025
Historically, the politics of Nigeria stands on a tripod of Igbo, yoruba and Hausa. To control the polity of the country, two of the tripod must align. Post independence, the igbo and the North aligned up until the 1983 coup led by Malam Buhari that ousted the shagari government. That ushered a realignment fir new leadership, producing yoruba and northern alignment to produce western and northern leadership back to back.
In 1999, with the return of democracy, the obasanjo led government tried with all machinations to achieve a dissolution of northern hegemony, the plan succeeded in having a Christian governor in kaduna and another Christian governor in adamawa state. These changes have been reversed and the rest is history.
Recently, there seem to be a realignment again of the Northern hausa fulani, wooing the Eastern part of the country. This is due to a passive marginalisation by the hausa fulani stock in the Bola Tinubu government. A pointer of this direction is the unfortunate attack of weapon bearing hausa fulani travellers at uromi in Edo state Nigeria. A child of history will recall that smokes have gone up in the past due to issues less than what happened in uromi. For example, the miss World riot , the sharia crisis, the akaluka riot, all ended up targeting the Igbo and their property. But what has changed? Politics of realignment. 2027 is the target...
The hausa- fulani stock needs the vote or the apathy of one of the major ethnic groups in nigeria to clinch power.
Ladies and gentlemen, with the current state of uncertainty of the middle belt, northern Christians apathy to northern politics, the courting of the igbo vote is real.
Foe those in denial, wait until 2026 for pointers to what 2027 will look like.

According to this Igbo crisis instigator, those Christians who became Governors of and Adamawa states were not northerners.

Apart from crisispreneurd that you and your sponsors benefit from, your social usefulness is better off with Ekpa, MNK and Obi. May you continue to be shamed as you hope for a bleeding Naija

Everybody knows where crisis instigators come from.
Did you point out how people from South East have always tried to dismember the whole country? Who are the people that invented Yoruba Muslims, Yoruba Christian to cause division in the West? Who are the people who are trying to create middle belts from nowhere to cause division among the north? Whcallsll northerners cow?
Instead of you to blame your people's political failure on those of your political nzugu nzugu players like Peter Obi, you are trying to shift the blame to others as usual.

Focus on the topic... don't derail the thread

"northern hegemony" the next statement is a "christian governor".
So the christian governors were not northerners?
Someone is confused that he wants to write on tribaI Iines and reIigious Iines at same time.
We read epistles like this before 2023, we have started reading another round of epistles again against 2027, those who will be alive for 2031 will still read another epistle again.
If all the "minor tribes" in the country vote against a candidate and the "major tribes" vote for that candidate, that candidate is sure going to Iose.
Politics have don't revolve on Hausa, lgb0 and Yoruba, politics in Nigeria is more compIex than this roadside analysis.
Gowon was neither of the above tribes, same as GEJ, same as Tafawa Balewa who's a Gere, Yar'Adua came from the Tuaregs etc etc
Where the story that "historically the politics of Nigeria stands on tripod of lgb0, Hausa and Yoruba" came from is what I don't know, u guys can do better, read before writing.

To be honest, Nigeria is not meant to be one country. This is just a union of strange bed fellows

A restless Nyamuri subtly reminding his slave masters about his availability for running slave errands 😂😂
Unfortunately, the op’s iq is in the single digits and not not enough to do this kind of propaganda.

Is the North only for Muslims ? Are those so called Christian Governors no longer Northerners ?

Dumb osu should focus on carrying white powder across south eastern Asian countries, a trade that requires no brain power .
High wired politics is clearly beyond the brain power of an average Okoro

Dumb , irrelevant minority clowns 🫵🏾
