You all need to stop being paranoid regarding the North grin

The chief above me ^ even typed a whole double spaced article on where his little mind thinks the North derives its power.. cheesy

Give it a rest and focus on growing your own political power.
What we need to do is very clear.

1. Become brutal and swift with violence. Kill northerners for no reason
2. Promote Southern Unity Nigeria more than Nigeria.
3. Pay serious emphasis on Nigerian politics, constitution and positions
4. The Igbo/Yoruba to embrace
5. Consider ethnicity and religion first in every election.

You have such a great mind, I can see it.

You can keep puking conspiracy theories and drown in em if you so wish, but until you understand that power resides in the hands of who controls the food supply, military and political system you will continue to run around in circles.
What is power?
You think it's a co incidence that the most powerful nations on Earth are also high ranked in academic/ scientific achievements, economic prosperity and a manufacturing based economy?

The North is the most backward region in Nigeria educationally, it's the worst economically and the worst in terms of local manufacturing base.

You speak of Agriculture, well breaking news! Nigeria imports her staple foods, and every other region produce theirs to support the imported ones. The North can't feed herself , as we speak we have IDP camps in North where people are starving and you are here talking trash,

Politics, well like I said earlier, they inherited the title of the Keepers of the colonial entity that is Nigeria.
They are just the chief servants of the Caucasian powers, and anytime they just take orders from above and are given minimal opportunity of carrying out local decisions, any time they attempted to question their orders from above, the consequences have always been acute and fatal, Mutala and Abacha as examples.
They are chief servants, that can hardly translate to real political power in internationally arena, and this is why Nigeria will continue to underachieve.

Military power? Lol, do the North manufacture any weapon? They only get "hand me down" weapons from the Caucasian powers sold to them at exorbitant prices, enough just to keep the colonial entity and slave camp intact as long as they keep taking the orders passed to them, they will continue getting them, if they attempt to stop taking orders, it ( weapon supplies) will be stopped and it's unity will be threatened by centrifugal forces within, causing the North to panic and go back to taking orders again.
Look at how the order to hand over Bakassi to Cameroon by Hague was carried out without objections. *grins*

It doesn't take much to see that the North so called power is artificial and not real, it's a reflection.

Never knew you were this naive.

How can you speak of Yoruba- Igbo Union?

There can never be such a union, nature made sure of it.

Our interests are in direct conflict with those of Yorubas.
I don't know how hard this is for Ndiigbo to understand.
This is same mistake that Ojukwu made.

Can't you see that your number 5 is in direct conflict with your number 4?

Yorubas are Muslims and are bound to the North by Islam.
Yorubas Still have a significant population of them in Northern Nigeria, under Gambari emirate system and are submissive to the Caliphate in Sokoto.

And no, we will never do number 1. That's not Who we are. Doing that will erode the very fabric of Offor na ogu upon which the Igbo society is built, it will destroy us and will rob us of our identity, leaving us disillusioned and confused. It's just not an option, and I can't believe you even thought of it.

I hope for the future of unborn Igbos that IPOB and the rest are not reasoning along these your points.

Lol! Guess I deflated your little ego. ndo.

I wasn't the one who opened the thread. I'm
not that naive to think that a poverty stricken, educationally backward North is powerful, I know better.
Re: Why Is The North So Powerful Than The South,west And East? by QuotaSystem: 9:24pm On Sep 16, 2016
Lol I repeat you're talking nonsense.

You can say that when your kin stop trooping up North daily in their thousands to find their daily bread.

I'm not one to brag about the North's military and political prowess that has seen you and your ancestors struggle since the 60's...

Or to remind you of the fact that just as we have the poorest, we also boast of the wealthiest. I don't expect a backward red mud dweller to agree with me though.

Bros relax.

I am on your side.
Whenever you read me, try and read between the lines.
Most of the time I am sarcastic in my approach.

In those points, I am talking to the dude who was advising the South to build her own strength rather than disusing the North.
I listed what the North got up her sleeve that gave her the so called strength.
I gave the guy a reply suitable for him.
I wanted him to see clearly the deception of their so called strength.

I am sure you know my position about Nigeria, it has never changed and it wont.

Lol! We have many of your leprosy inflicted Northerners down East. Every day, truck loads of "gwomngworo" keep bringing more of your poverty stricken mud house dwelling brothers down here. They are all over Kenyatta, Ogbette, Garriki, Artizan markets pushing barrow and the rest are beggars flocking our motor parks.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

The wealthiest? You mean Dangote the monopolist made by the Nigerian government and your endless lines of Nigerian treasury looters like IBB, Abacha, Abdulsalam, etc and the remaining ones rolling on ill gotten Oil wells money like Danjuma.

What good has it it done the North if with all those men, you are all still living in mud houses and starving, with endless line of Almajiri begging for food?

There is no northern Military prowess. None whatsoever.It only exists in your deluded gworo mind.

1 is alien to us. We have never done, we are not doing and will never do.
We have resisted your corruption through your provocation all these while and we shall continue to resist.
Imagine killing a Northerner Moslem for blasphemy,

2. There is nothing like Souther Unity in the sense of what you have in the north.
Your fellow Notherners espcially the ones from the Middle Belt are nothing but slaves and they know it.
They are scared of your violence.

3. We have lost interest in Nigeria.

4. What you have in the north is not embrace, it is a master/slave relationship

5. The South has not started that, if we do, Buhari would have gotten 5% across the south.

In summary, i listed all those, to show you how your mindset is about Nigeria.

It is very pathetic.

Ok. I understand now.

Just take off any idea of Ndiigbo working with Yorubas off your mind,

Yorubas are tied to the North by Islam. Atleast 50% of them are Muslims, and there are also Yorubas that are Northerners themselves, whose allegiance is first and foremost to the seat of caliphate in Sokoto.

For Yorubas to support Nigeria disintegration will mean Yorubas giving up on those other Yorubas in the North, it will mean balkanization of Yorubaland. As the North won't give up those Northern Yorubalands, and worst still, most of those Northern Yorubas don't want to be separated from the North. They feel at home there.


Put yourself in Yoruba shoes and understand why when faced with option of Nigeria disintegration and Nigerian unity, the Yorubas will chose Nigerian unity 100/100.

You don't blame them for it, if in their shoes, I would do same, but you have to factor it in your equation if you intend breaking away from Nigeria, you will be strategically naive to be seeking for Yoruba support to do so, it will mean that you are asking them to divide their own lands.

It's the same Military you seek to undermine that has kept you in check.

I believe I'm done schooling you on your phantom POWER.
Holla me when you dominate your poverty, your educational backwardness, etc. That's what real power does. We see it in World powers and even African powers like South Africa. They lead in Academics, infrastructure, manufacturing base, living standard indices.

Go back to school. cool

Living in abject poverty, being educationally backward , starving with IDP camps every where Are real definitions of being a third class citizen, they are not the characteristics of POWERFUL people.

But these are what average Northerners have to deal with everyday.

Its a shame really.
My only real pain is being forced to co exist in the same colonial space with you lots by colonial powers.
That's the only pain.

Simple Northerners understand the power of a united front- What so many people fail to realize is that once it comes to National politics, the direction of the North is always a strong united direction. This makes them have their way all the time. Unlike in the south where infighting, backstabbing, envy, and so on go on. You will definitely agree with me that this is where the Northerners are ahead of the south despite the latter's claim of western enlightenment. A very good example is the recently concluded Ondo APC and PDP primaries. Not in the north where everyone sees the other as his brother irrespective of political affiliations.
Pls tell me if makarfi and sherrif are both northerners..

Well thank you Prof for reading the truth and responding once again like a primary pupil who's parents can't pay school fees. That is Nig.ga Areans for you.

Is Op begging you for your quack feedback? Next thing you will asking op for date and then who knows?
Those "illiterates" have more sense than people like you, very happy to go on with the N.igga area without wanting change, or daring to do something other than Owambe and Shoki.

The problem is,the northerners use one big advantage to play the other regions. While others view the north as a region full of illiterates,they don't give much needed observation to what the north does which gives the north was of access.[/quote]
