₦airaland Forum

Whilst reading about the attack on some communities in Delta State I imagined a scenario where the attack was repelled by a regional security outfit like Amotekun. Alas! It occurred to me such cannot exist in the South South region. The region does not have the cohesion and unity of purpose amongst the member states needed to come together and form a regional security outfit, like was done in the South West. The dynamics at play will not allow such come to fruition.

What do you think?

What exactly do you mean by 'claim the Hausa-Fulani identity'?

Please name three politicians who rose to power just by claiming Hausa-Fulani identities?

You don't know what I mean by claim? Many of them have been called Fulani erroneously and they don't bother to dispel such misconceptions. Many even ride on it because it is politically favourable. No need mentioning you're from an unknown ethnic group when you can claim Fulani, more favorable as a Muslim with the Dan Fodio connection. Even Bukola Saraki has flaunted a Fulani tag (how true is it he is descended from the Fulani?).

To your second paragraph, so my saying they've claimed Fulani on their rise through the ranks now means claiming Fulani will automatically get you to the seat?! You don't consider political calculations, loyalties etc. Are you thinking that narrowly?

Hmm.

Philosophical post.

Very nice if you take the time to read through and understand.

In the Core North or more correctly, in the areas that made up the Old Sokoto Caliphate, the Islamic identity supercede ethnic identity.

You can climb up the political ladder if you are a Muslim regardless of your ethnic backgrounds.

But most will still go on to claim the "Hausa/Fulani" identity which helps to perpetuate the claim by the government that the "Hausa/Fulani" is the most populous ethnic group in Nigeria which is grossly inaccurate.

The thread on front page "True Ethnic Origins of Past Head of States in Nigeria" shows that indeed the Hausa/Fulani ethnicities are not as populous as majority of Nigerians think. The situation we have in the North is such that every politician who hopes to climb the political ladder adopts the Hausa/Fulani identity though in truth they are/were never Hausa/Fulani, an interesting case being Atiku Abubakar.

If a proper census is conducted in Nigeria the truth is that many will come to discover the Hausa/Fulani are no where near the numbers they project, the Fulani are particularly a small ethnic group . At the very most the Hausa/Fulani together will take up 3 states across the North.

As a single standalone ethnicity the Hausa/Fulani are not the most populous ethnicity by a distance.

This is because the South South will leave too. The area containing the oil fields where Nigeria makes her money from.

Once any section of the country secedes the entire structure will collapse instantly, the country is not united.

These are the reasons.

Absolutely nothing! *Spits*

Mad oooooo!!!

Dont you think that if Nnamdi Kanu was going to apologise, he would have done so on his facebook, twitter or webpage handles?

Instead, an unknown website is reporting that Kanu apologised with a statement any secondary school student can write? I laugh in Chinese

rottennaija:
Narcissist don't apologise. Nnamdi Kanu has never apologies for anything before? Unless you see videos of him actually apologising, don't believe it (and you are never going to see one.) It's goes against everything that a Narcissist is, who often see themselves as above other and others as puppets in their hands to do whatever is their will.

In fact, the language of the write bears no resemblance to his manners of speaking and public display. This is poorly scripted by another person.

Narcissist don't apologise. Nnamdi Kanu is not the source of this statement.

Nnamdi Kanu needs a better PR Team.

The North is very scared of secession.

Give that phone back to your mummy.

Bring Eastern Amotekun now.


I wonder wetin we go call our own for East sef. Maybe Ekwunekwu Security Outfit.

The North has driven their Agenda to a point their close pals, the Westerners, can no longer cope hence the birth of Amotekun. The move has taken them unawares and they're becoming uneasy.

However, the reason the North is jittery is that the coming of Amotekun will water the ground for the revitalization of the BSS or a similar body in the East. We all know the North are always jittery when it comes down to the East arming itself. Just imagining an operational BSS or a similar body in the East is already a nightmare. This is their main worry with the birth of Amotekun.



The second reason being that setting up Amotekun successfully is a step towards Regionalism. This of course does not augur well with a Northern Nigeria of today that is at the lower rungs of every developmental indices.
