There's no tribe in Nigeria that's not tribalistic in one way or the other;

Fulani,Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Kanuri etc.

It's one thing being tribalistic to people from the south and it's another being tribalistic to fellow northerners. I'm from the north west so I can only speak on what I know and from my experience we generally don't harbour such prejudices towards each other. In the north east however, that's a different story.

" Nigeria was set to become a great nation until Babangida came into power and then f00ls like Abacha, Goodluck Johnathan,"
etc. followed.


So IBB, Abacha and Gej.. Are the ones who destroyed Nigeria?

What about Muhammadu Buhari or was/is he not part of them too? Oh! Because he's fulani like you, you are given him excuses.


Person wey killed more than 800 hundred shi'ites in just 4days nah that wan better abigrin




Is Buhari embezzling money and funds from Nigeria like his GEJ and his wife did? Is he listening to Western powers to devalue the Naira like Babangida did? Please do not put me in the same ethnic-bigotry category as yourself. When Buhari first came into power, all he did was fight corruption. That is what he does today, however his methods are a bit antiquated for today's settings.

I agree with everything you said there bar one.

I would like for you to research what happened during the Asian Financial Crises. Having an overvalued currency (Which the naira was) not only requires the exhaustion and maintenance of a large part of reserves and debt but also makes your currency prone to attack from speculators once they think your currency can't hold on much longer. Part of the reason our president had to liberate the currency a little when he came into power and part of the reason he has been able to increase our reserves.

Side Note: I find it very weird that he brought the Shiite incident seeing as he's a northerners himself and not that I harbour any animosity towards them but my thinking is that he's a Shiite himself and that's the source of his angers and bias.

God knows best. but blaming nd abusing past leaders while removing Buhari just because he's your brother as a Fulani is an act of tribalism. Besides, which corruption is pmb fighting when d same pmb wanted to appoints a renowned past criminal( maina) if not for Nigerians that kicked against it.



pmb has failed just like past leaders in Nigeria nd his is even worse , cost Nigeria has never been in this kind of state before; everything is on d increase.. Even insecurity is alarming in dis administration apart from d impact he has in Borno, there's nothing to write home about in terms of security.

you are a tribal bigot for blaming those that are not fulanis while exonerating d fulanis amongst them.




why did pmb overthrow Shagarigrin


One of them must be corrupt.. I didn't see either of them on your list of those that destroyed Nigeria.

When PMB relocated the military command ko control center to borno,it stratetegically changed the dynamics of the BH war.....

1) why will a set of people cordon off an important road with out prior notice and consideration of abubuwan DA ke faruwa a Zaria ranan?

2)The NA "used a sledge hammer to kill a mosquito"

3) That clash could have been averted if only both sides had exercised restraint

I already acknowledged pmb tried in terms of security in Borno and environs. But what about other states that killings are on d increase on daily basis.. Benue, Taraba, Zamfara etc..






You can't blame all past leaders excluding your tribesmen for destroying Nigeria.. That was the genesis of this argument ai.




Pmb has failed the masses in Nigeria.. Everything is hard for the poor masses. All his policies are affecting d masses more than anyone. Everything is at d increase; Food, water, Nepa, fuel even biscuits and chingums are not sparedgrin.. The same person who promised the masses heaven on earth was dsame person saying; ' the masses are impatient'. Or has he suddenly forgotten when he said.. Nigerians are not supposed to be buying fuel more than 45/litre during Gej's tenure when there was an increased in fuel price, but now when he's d minister of petroleum and d presido d prices have almost double and there's still queuegrin








What are they going to investigate again pertaining d GYALLESU midnight massacred when it's obvious; Buhari, Buratai and El rufai are masterminds behind d killings couple with some religious leaders who came out openly to praised d Govt for a job weldonegrin

Well, now you're talking, the issue at hand was that of discrimination on Tribal grounds, which u say exist in North_west , not wether discrimination is right or wrong and I do not believe any reasonable person would say discrimination is a good thing no matter what it may be based upon.

Friend, and has such have never taken offense to it but rather seen it as a testament to the ignorance of those who use it. Unless someone wants to go back and tell bayajidda to change the meaning i refuse to let someone else define what a word in MY language should mean. People have such thin skins these days.

As for Kabila, its not a derogatory term as far as i'm concerned. People immediately get pissed off when you point out that they're different, its like calling a white person white and then he becomes agitated. If you dont call him that what should you call him? If you lot want to go about looking for reasons to be sensitive or feel victimized thats your business.

I can categorically tell you that people of Jigawa do discriminate other Hausa's not a jigawaite

I have been there, when we complained of Jigawa inter tribal discrimination,the people there had to tell us that Jigawa people Even discriminate them that are Hausa and not from Jigawa.

I really dont know if it was based on religion

But what I know is day do discriminate even the Hausa's not from Jigawa state.

Native Names:

Bizo: This name is given to a male child who was born in a family after his successors are dying. According to the tradition surrounding this name, a child born in such an afformentioned situation is taken to a hip-dump to appease the spirits, and luckily those children are fortunate to stay alive and be named “Bizo”, an hausa word for dump. Those who were not taken to the dump are called “Barau”, after the saying “A barshi a gani ko ya tsaya- leave him and watch if he would live
https://gobirmob.com/ha/tabbatattun-sunayen-hausawa-na-gargajiya-da-maanoninsu/
Similar to MKO Abiola’s birth. The “K” is Kasimawo which means let’s be observing. If Abiola was Hausa he would have been named Barau.

Question about the name garba. I know its given to anyone with the name Abu bakr. But do yoy have any idea what it means, how it started and why its given?
Garba is derived from Arabic name Abubakar, so Garba is not a Hausa traditional name.
