These people still want to retain the name 'one nigeria'

everyone knows that one nigeria will not work, why force it?

Well, I like to believe with Setaje that things can work in One Nigeria if we honestly try.

Word baby, true word.

The fulani particularly has turn out to be a very big problem for us in this country. You are very corect in saying that the hausas/kanuris are the ones that go for suicide missions, i once lived in the north myself.

The fulani have enslaved the hausa people.

@bold part, I say 'Gbam!!'

That's the bitter truth southerners don't no. What is keeping them is islam. One day islam will not hold them together again. Fulani feel superior to hausas and all other tribes in the north. Do u no that the way the Fulani kill southerners because of cattle rearing is the way hausas are being killed. You don't hear it because such news hardly make it out of that zone.


Our leaders have kept us in perpetual darkness. The way the British divided us and ruled us is the way our own african leaders have divided us and ruled us. Every africa leader unite for corruption and looting. They have no party or allegiance or tribe when money is involved. The earlier we followers recognise this, the better.

This is very disappointing! Your statements were careless, needless, shallow, thoughtless and reek of ignorance!


I suppose that you're still some kid. By which means I'll keep this brief and plain.

Again, you seem to not know these "Northerners" you so much despise.

The Northerners are the most accommodating people you 'll find around. They are honest in their dealings, simple in acts and appearance, easy going, friendly and God fearing.
They regard almost everything as the will of God, a gift from God or his doings.
It's why they don't carry shoulder around the place regardless how stinkingly rich they are. They are humble like that.

Now, if anything, the discovery of oil will only further glue their grips firmly in power. This is because the average Northerner is power drunk, loves respect and will go the distance just to get told 'rain ka shi dade!'.
One single thing all rulers have in common is the quest to rule a larger entity; the larger, the better!
That said, most Northerners will see the discovery of oil as a way to pay the SS back for their contribution. They love to pay their dues and are very loyal!
Rather than secede, they will wish for the oil to contribute just as much money into national coffers as the South South one. They hate being mocked.

The discovery of oil in the Chad basin will create the much needed balance in the polity.

No Northerner will lose sleep over it, because they are enjoying the South South oil just as much they would if it were in their region.

The South Southerners are the "meekest" Nigerians by the way!
The Lord gives where he knows the people have large hearts enough to carry everyone along.

please keep dont say things you know little about.

they are accommodating but they were the first to shout secession. they only changed mouth when the british told them the importance of oil in the world then. they had to fight to keep it with the help of the british.

they are so accommodating that they killed my uncle's boy in borno state. they are so accommodating that they dealt with many businesses owned by southerners in the north especially from south-east.


No one will tell me he is not apprehensive when dealing with some hausa men. you feel this unease when you are surrounded with hausa men.

VickJames:
Nigeria will divide if the north finds oil in their core areas. they will give bokoharam amnesty since they are one. No southerner will own any oil well in the north. have you seen any southerner mining any mineral resources in the north?

why will amnesty be given to boko haram when they have killed almost 20°/. of the people in the North-east so people are just

they have not killed up to 20 percent of people in the north east.

They will not have any reason to fight them anymore. they will just come to an agreement with them and make things work.

[size=18pt]May Allah find oil in the north, so that they can stop their parasitic relationship with the rest of Nigeria[/size]

@malton, my prayer for you is that may the northerners be 'accommodating' to you as they 'accommodated' and killed two of my friends in the north in 2013.

May the northerners be 'accommodating' to you as they 'accommodated' the Youth Corp members living with them shouting sai Buhari.

Can I hear a resounding AMEN!!!!!!

Truth everywhere in this thread.. The Fulanies controls the political sphere in the whole country and the North.. So there's is that superior feelings in them, though everybody if given equal opportunity will just do the same, so I don't blame them, in fact I appreciate them, because they are smart to make their ways... Kudos Fula!
Yeah! Islam is the binding force along we the northerners, but as some people speculated that after Islam, we'll start segregating ourselves, this is not true, because Islam has already replaced most of our tradition, so Islam, apart from being our religion, is our tradition too, because once you answered the name Muslim, you're a brother...

Bro, my personal take is that the excessive focus on oil is indolent and typical of the African malaise whereby the inhabitants of the African continent are unable to think outside the box to then device local solution for local problems. We would all be better off looking at lobbying the Buhari government, which I believe is reasonable and open to developmental ideas, to deregulate and liberalise the commercial production of mineral resources - especially by giving States the power to work at their own pace unimpeded and according to their readiness to work for and gain a diversified and robust economy.

Personally, if I had the voice and power to do so, this is what i would insist all serious regions do. There are many nations of the world with not a drop of crude oil yet they are some of the most prosperous, innovative and successful nations known to man because the people of those Countries are innovative and able to squeeze 110% out of what they have to get what they want. I personally don't think Nigerians who are not from the North should focus on what the North will do if oil is found in the region in commercial quantity because, as we all know, oil can be a curse in the wrong hands.

We are in an age of ideas and it is inspirational, for example, to see what Fashola achieved to make Lagos virtually the only State that can finance itself in Nigeria and a State that would be among one of the biggest economies in Africa if an independent nation. We an in an age of ideas and anyone who wants to die over oil is free to do so yet the reality is that the unexploited income from non-oil sector is huge if only we can think innovatively and harness the vast potentials of these sectors. What people of all regions of Nigeria should be chasing is more local control over the processes and sectors that can provide economic wealth, economic diversity and socio-economic prosperity.

We've all suffered losses, brother. I've lost more friends and known persons than I can count to Boko Haram and other crises. My dad's house got burnt, he lost everything and my mum almost got killed but for divine intervention.
I don't know who tells you these stories, but I have lived those moments, still do...
I was born and raised in the North, did my education there and all, so it's safe to say that I know the people inside out. Yes they are volatile (say 20% of them), vindictive and destructive (sometimes), but a whopping 80% of them, when you pray to God to meet the best people in your life, they are whom you pray to meet.
Meet more Northerners and your perception of them will change forever.

My brother I'm sorry not to have responded all this while. I just feel irritated by this board lately- miscreants have taken it over and made reasonable discourse near impossible. All I do is just view threads and move on.

On this issue, I'm totally in support of the article written by Murray Bruce a couple of months ago. A discovery of oil in commercial quantities in another part of the country is a panacea for peace in the Niger Delta. It is just like having two companies producing the same product and the non existence of monopoly. None of the companies would be so foolish as to do too much "shakara" with their product, because no sooner would they start doing so than the consumers would turn faces to their competitors- it is that simple.

@ the emboldened, a discovery of any commodity and aggressively pursuing economic benefits therefrom will just be fine. It doesn't have to be oil. If the FG pursues mining and agriculture in the North and SW and SE, our dependency on oil could drop to just about 30% of what it currently is. And before we know it, each section and region will respect others the way it should be.

Bro,all what you wrote here is absolute nonsense. So you call the killing of innocent corp members "accommodating"? What do u also call the invasion of minority tribes by fulanis? Holy genocide? Abeg no provoke person this morning!!

I agree with you totally. I don't understand why our governments have been so shy as to open up our mining sector. Obj was the only president to have made serious attempt in that regard, others have just been lip service and no concrete action. I guess the impetus we needed was the fall in price of oil and now we have seen the worst of that in decades. I'm hopeful sooner than later Baba would address the anomaly.

Idrismusty97:
With significant findings in the North, Nigeria would only practice true Federalism. Nigeria unity now goes beyond oil with major world powers backing. When the North intends to secede in the 50's was it because of oil?

Have oil be founded in the 50's
