You're not Fulani or Hausa.... Then why are you very reluctant to tell us who you are. Are you Tiv, Berom, Igala or Idoma? Tell us what you are and I'll properly address your issue. Your brain needs reformatting to default settings.

What does my tribe have to do with what you think about me? Who still talk of tribe in this era? I know who I am and that's what matters. Go cure your illness because it seems you're losing it

Baseless pile of *** from a greying iPod.

The fact remains that the SE played itself into political irrelevance with its politics of hatred and bigotry. Instead of making efforts to build bridges with other regions to strike political alliances, and make amends with other Nigerians that they insulted and derided during the last elections because of the IB, they are waiting cap in hand for appointments they said they never needed from the Amala/Tuwo party. Dem go wait tire.

The other fact remains that the North IS the political backbone of Buhari's administration. As for the economic backbone that Ezeife mentioned, that title currently belongs SOLELY to the South South. Ezeife should know everyone is aware that the SE also takes more from Nigeria than it contributes, like the rest of the regions.

As for NK, he should face his trial for treason and if he's innocent, he can crip walk back to Nnewi.

It is time to look beyond who gets what appointments etc. We voted Buhari because we expect change and because Jonathan was an extreme disappointment. Every part of the country MUST look at itself honestly. It is a fact that the North receives far more than it contributes. Indeed the North is a liability to Nigeria today. That can change but there is no sign of any inclination for that the North seems to think everything is okay and displays a profound lack of developmental ambition. We in the SW have our eyes on the long term and the North really needs to wake up . The continued subjugation and failure to educate young girls is at variance with the rest of the country .
The idea that government and government appointments is the way to prosperity is outdated.
The Fulani herdsman issue has been handled very disappointingly. Are we a nation or are we rivals fighting for advantage and supremacy we cannot continue to pretend. How can you call people your compatriots and kill a whole village of them mercilessly without remorse.Something is very wrong somewhere. Already we are beginning to regret voting Buhari. He won the election,let us agree that the SE played politics of hatred and bigotry is his response the correct one? I grew up in Nigeria in the 70s ans saw several Northern led governments ,Not one day did I hear of The North or Arewa not until the North lost power did that emerge. But in those days no one ever talked about The South. In fact the North is more likely to lead to the break up of Nigeria than IPOB with this attitude. What I expect from Buhari is to lay a foundation so we stop talking of North East and all that but he is even taking us deeper into that mess.On this path Nigeria cannot last much longer I am afraid

Another marauder from Futa Jallon claiming Middle-Belt. You have nothing to say. Go and tend to your cows.

I'm not a Fulani and even if I'm one I'd have been glad, because I can choose the tribe that I'd be born into prior to my birth. As for tending to cows that's a lucrative business and legit business to do, tell your kinsmen that are into drug peddling, fake products, and other illicit acts to join those in cow tending business . That is the berter for them if ye they knew. I hope you're not one of those in illegal hustling, because Name Checkers of NL will gladly celebrate your execution whenever such news comes up on NL. Run along hopeless being with hate filled mind

One thing is crystal clear... You're not from the Middle-Belt. I'm a full-blooded Igbo man and I'm not ashamed of saying it. For the umpteenth time... Who are you? I have zero tolerance for impostors. Now run along and look for more people to slaughter in Benue state.

This comment is so balanced and powerful. Thank you Sir.

Who cares whether you're a partial or full blooded Igbo? I don't deal with people based on tribe and ethnicity it is against my principles and way of life. As for my tribe I know my tribe and Vedaxool knows it as well. So calm down as Nigeria have 250 tribes and I belong to one of them

God bless you
On the bold, that is so so on point. The average graduate in the North only aspires to work in a government/public establishment and NEVER in a private organisation. The believe is that it is only in such public and government organisations that you have limitless access to free money.

By Idoko Stevens.
Two tribes are the major problems with this country. These two tribes - Hausa/Fulani and Igbo- are EXTREMISTS by nature. The first civil war was caused by the wanton violence and greed of Igbos and Hausa/Fulanis. And I guarantee you, IF Nigeria gets into a second civil war it will still be because of these two tribes. I will tell you a secret of the average Hausa/Fulani and the average Igbo:

If you are NOT Muslim, the average Hausa/Fulani sees you as a SUB-HUMAN.

If you are not Igbo, the average Igbo sees you as INFERIOR.

I have lived/worked in every single geopolitical zone in this country, and I can tell you that these two groups are the reason why Nigeria will NEVER know peace.

But you may ask if the Igbos are EXTREMISTS how come they are not as violent as the Hausa/Fulanis? Igbos will have no problem go around this country killing ANYONE who is not Igbo or Christian, the ONLY thing that stops them is FEAR. Most Igbos still have a very fresh 'memory' of the events of the Biafran war and so are afraid that if they so EXPRESS THEIR WANTON EXTREMISM, they would suffer the civil war fate again. The Hausa/Fulanis however are not bugged down by any such fear. This is why you see these herdsmen going around the country slaughtering innocent men, women and children without the slightest hint of remorse.

I agree with IPOB that Igbos need their own country but not for the reason of 'marginalization' that they claim. The reason why Igbos and Northerners each need their own country is because they are EXTREMELY VIOLENT PEOPLE BY NATURE who cannot live in peace with non-Igbos and non-Northerners.

[size=14pt]Yorubas Are The Problem With Nigeria [/size]- By Sanusi Lamido Sanusi (Elombah.com)

In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude.
The Yoruba elite and area-boy politics;Igbo marginalisation and the responsible limits of retribution; andThe Yoruba Factor and "Area-boy" Politics.My views on the Yoruba political leadership have been thoroughly articulated in some of my writings, prime among which was " Afenifere: Syllabus of Errors" published by This Day (The Sunday Newspaper) on Sept 27, 1998. There was also an earlier publication in the weekly Trust entitled " The Igbo, the Yoruba and History" (Aug. 21, 1998). 

In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude. 

The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January. After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention.

When Buhari jailed UPN governors like Ige and Onabanjo, the South-Western press castigated that good government and provided the right mood for IBB to take over power. As soon as IBB cleared UPN governors of charges against them in a politically motivated retrial, he became the darling of the South-West. When IBB annulled the primaries in which Adamu Ciroma and Shehu Yar Adua emerged as presidential candidates in the NRC and SDP, he was hailed by the South-West. When the same man annulled the June 12, 1993 elections in which Abiola was the front-runner, the South-West now became defenders of democracy.

When it seemed Sani Abacha was sympathetic to Abiola, the South-West supported his take-over. He was in fact invited by a prominent NADECO member to take over in a published letter shortly before the event. Even though Abiola had won the elections in the North, the North was blamed for its annulment. When Abdulsalam Abubakar started his transition, the Yoruba political leadership through NADECO presented a memorandum on a Government of National Unity that showed complete disrespect for the intelligence and liberties of other Nigerians.

Subsequently, they formed a tribal party which failed to meet minimum requirements for registration, but was registered all the same to avoid the violence that was bound to follow non-registration, given the area-boy mentality of South-West politicians. Having rejected an Obasanjo candidacy and challenged the election as a fraud in court, we now find a leading member of the AD in the government, a daughter of an Afenifere leader as Minister of State, and Awolowo´s daughter as Ambassador, all appointed by a man who won the election through fraud.

Meanwhile, nothing has been negotiated for the children of Abiola, the focus of Yoruba political activity. In return for these favours, the AD solidly voted for Evan Enwerem as Senate President. This is a man who participated in the two-million- man March for Abacha´s self-succession. He also is reputed to have hosted a meeting of governors during IBB´s transition, demanding that June 12 elections should never be de-annulled and threatening that the East would go to war if this was done. When Ibrahim Salisu Buhari was accused of swearing to a false affidavit, the Yoruba political elite correctly took up the gauntlet for his resignation.

Dollyak:
I know the argument comes down to Agriculture majority of which are produced in Plateau, Kogi and benue state. Please stop claiming this people as core Northerners. It is often said that a middlebelts can never rule Nigeria because they are neither accepted in the North except for stratetigic reasons.
Once Middlebelters allign with the South you lots will calm down.

Then you must be one hell of an ignorant Nigerian; pray tell Yakubu Gowon, IBB, Abdulsalam Abubakar are what ?

How does this change the facts you guys contribute the least to Nigeria? Nobody has been able to reply omonnakoda because he said the truth. I am not going to give in to the red herring ploys of you lots. Counter the points of this thread.

^^^^Do not run away from your obvious shortcomings; you have yet again been caught pants down making ignorant statements, instead of admitting your error, you are still arguing trying to bluff your way out.
Back to the main issue: you have been repeatedly challenged to back your statements with facts or figures; pls provide the required data from any credible source that proves the core north contributes the least to the Nigerian economy otherwise STFU.

loopman:
Oga, you are the one saying a whole lot of rubbish here.
I'm not Igbo, but there is a whole lot more of truth in Ezeife letter, albeit painful truth.
Nigeria is simply not working under this government.
Buhari is not adding any value, but he is still endangering many jobs with his policies

Dont mind him. Once dey hear anytin Igbo or Biafra, dey will just start writing anytin dat comes dia mind untill dey write rubbish. Na hatred go kill some pple one day
