North East + North West = Arewa Republic
North Central (Middle Belt) = Nigeria?
South West = Odua
South East = Biafra

Nigeria is an imaginary nation, until we wake up from the slumber, we will then realize that the country is really not one, we are left with a system which is not working and will never work, each ethnic group want to be the alpha and the omega of the country which is not possible. The country was actually not designed to last forever, the sooner you wake up from the dream the sooner you understand the true setup and re-structure or dis-integrate the country in order for each group to move its own people forward. Nigeria is the only African country presently that is still struggling with power. Have you ever wondered how many non-employed graduates we have in Arewa? Imagine if Arewa is an independent country, and as Sardauna always say "northerner first" so in no time, thousands of Arewians will be employed all over the private and public sector of the country. Banks will remain, communication companies will remain, we will still have our dignity, yet we are independent. Wake Up!!!

I think I am dreaming. People are seeing the light.

Wait, so this yoruba fool is on here that talking about paying for a woman to touch him and he thinks he is big man all of a sudden, HAHAHA. The many times yoruba women have approached me in lagos for FREE whenever I visit. Should I brag? LOL

This is true. My brother, these fulanis are wicked people.

This igbo obsession should be classified as a disease, Igbophobia - the fear of all things igbo or igbotic. These people talk of something they have no clue about. Do they know the people that fought for Biafra were not only igbo. I have aunt and uncles that are ibibio, annang and efik. And some fought in the war and still want Biafra, making sure we never forget. These yaribas have never been east of Port Harcourt to talk about what other people feel. Always trying to cause division. They know that THEIR TIME IS UP. When disintegration happens they will be COCOA LAND, NO MORE OIL LOOTING FOR THEM. SS will not go with them and we could care less if they go with Biafra. We will support SS regardless though. If you look closely at the maps provided by BBC you will see that the vast majortity of the natural resources (oil, natural gas and coal) of Biafra are in the heart of Igboland. We are ready to share it with our brothers as many of us are intermarried.

I can understand peoples frustration. I think Gabrielle Union or Kerry Washington would have been a better pick. It looks like there is heavy British influence in the casting though. I don't care to see this movie anyway because I know that the story will be lacking in some form. It will turn into a silly love story.

Negro_Ntns:

They dream of becoming president but they cant rule Nigeria ever again. . . . they dream of owning their own country but they cant ever dare to pick up guns and march on people land again.  Thats what the fvck their problem is.  Stuck in the middle of actualizing a country to nowhere.   

Haha, Igbos will continue to raise your blood pressure. Your life is based on Igbo hate. You are obsessed with us.

ak47mann:

How can i answer that kind of question  you know the answer?days of divide and conquer is over so deal with it,everyone knows their territories SS got mini Nigeria except Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba,but you know we are not greedy like you people,actually the curse land he meant was yaribaland upon all the power and sophisticated brains you got couldn't develop your backward region.

Remember you get your monthly hand out from  so call curse land; once the tap is close you people will turn beggars one time bloody parasites

The politics of the yoruba has only increased the consciousness of the the SS. They have lost the SS who they thought was an ally. They have seen that they are not their friends but looters of their oil and play a big part of the madness that is Nigeria. If the yoruba was truly in line with the SS and SE we would not need to deal with Hausa/Fulani, who do not make up the majority, we would have rid Nigeria of northern control all these decades. You see now that their influence on Nigeria is eroding quickly. A yoruba calls our land cursed yet desires the resources from others land which is blessed oil, natural gas, coal, etc. Not all, but a good number of them are double-minded. They need to go and develop their cocoa farms. For when disintegration comes, I need my MILO and chocolate candy to enjoy!  

The reason is political. Please cut the crap. What other african country are they considered one?

This will be a serious situation if they attack Jos.

bashr8:

i thought it is the other way round, igbos treating other nigerians as second class citizens

meanwhile who come be the firstclass citizens? is it the poverty stricken northerners, the yorubas that thier life and influence starts and ends in southwest or the niger deltans that have ben complaining of igbo domination till the same igbos voted an ijaw as president? i think some of you people have real inferiority complex . what does your ethnic group have or have achieved that you want to compare with igbos achievement, let not even talk about nolly wood.

Exactly, we need to know who the first class citizens are. I hope someone can provide the answer.

Big B1:

If IBB is not the most powerful man, who else is there?
If not being able to thread south is what determines the most powerful in the country, then this world must be coming to an end.
Just a few months ago, where were you when Ojukwu, your king was dancing behind IBB?
Were you sleeping when Ibori the owner of 80% of south south stated that he would kill to get a chance to mingle with IBB?
Where were you when Senator Ken Nnamani stated that the best option in Nigeria today is IBB?
Where were you when Peter Odilli (the king of boys) called IBB the best friend Igbo people can't afford to lose?

This isn't even what we should be discussing at this time, we should all focus more on anything or anybody that can turn things around in this country asap or before it is too late.

If something isn't done right away, the end to Nigeria and Nigerians isn't too far. Therefore, our priority at this time is to safe this great nation.

Hahahaha! What is GREAT about Nigeria?!!!!! I will tell you what is GREAT about Nigeria!

The MISERY is GREAT!

The POVERTY is GREAT!

The TERRORISM is GREAT!

The UNEMPLOYEMENT is GREAT!

The CORRUPTION is GREAT!

The LIES are GREAT!

The SUFFERING is GREAT!

The HOPELESSNESS is GREAT!

If this is what you are referring to, then indeed NIGERIA is GREAT!

Does he think he will get support from the UK and Soviet Union to fight disintegration? Someone tell this Alzheimers fool that it is 2012.

alj harem:

as for you, what do you want them to do ? discriminate against Igbos ?

STFU if you do not know what to say before you start instigating hate

Go back and read my post. Please think first before posting.

c.fours:

Igbos still won't leave the north and south west if Nigeria separates. this is a no brainer as any place (no matter how violent) is better than the east.

ask the south sudanese. they got their independence almost a year ago but up to a million of them are still in North Sudan refusing to return to their poverty stricken country. what gives?
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/26/us-sudan-south-idUSTRE80P24A20120126

we really need to follow their situation closely as it's in a way similar to ours.

Silly man, Sudan is a bad example to use. The East does not suffer from poverty like other parts of Nigeria or even South Sudan. So don't compare south Sudan to the East. Igbos go elsewhere because of the economic opportunity. The compeition is very tough in Ala-igbo. An igbo man knows that he has a good chance at succeeding in less competive enviroments where other groups don't have the brains and/or the hustle like he does. This is the reason we go to other parts of the country. I will not go into the economic might of Igbos overseas. You should know by now so I do not need to go there. When Biafra comes we will be able to create jobs after we regain control of OUR oil in Ala-igbo. It is simple economics.

Nchara:

You are so so ignorant about the facts. BTW, Igbos aint leaving until Nigeria separates. So if you want Lagos left alone by Igbos, you know what to do.

Are you suggesting that they go to the UN and request for Oduduwa Repupblic? Hahahaha. Unitl they are willing to do that, we will continue "Occupy Lagos" in "One Nigeria."

cap28:

Sam Ikenna - you sound very naive - nigeria is a creation of western colonialists who are still pulling the strings to date. If the northerners see themselves as born to rule its because they were elevated to that position by britain who falsified the census figures in 1959 in order to ensure that they would always have a majority in the house of representatives and remain at the helm of affairs indefinitely. As you can see that has been very successful as they have been in power for approximately 41 years out of 51 years of our independence. The so called southerners who have been allowed to lead nigeria have never served the interests of their fellow southerners but have instead served the interests of the tiny elite group who have destroyed nigeria.

The question you need to ask yourself is why did britain arm the north against the eastern secession of biafra? if you can answer that question then you will know who really owns and controls nigeria.

when you people talk about splitting the country i just laugh - you cant split the country without the consent of the people who created you in the first place - this is why biafra failed because Ojukwu sought to break out of the neo colonial cage built for nigerians by britain - the only time you can break free is when you become MILITARILY POWERFUL ENOUGH TO DICTATE THE TUNE TO THE PEOPLE WHO STILL HAVE THEIR FEET ON YOUR NECK.

As it stands now the nigerian elite (both northern and southern elitists) are running nigeria on behalf of the same people who created the contraption in the first place.
Therefore you can not expect that you can break out of this bondage without coming into direct confrontation with these people.

If nigeria is to split - it will be at the behest of these same people NOT at the behest of the nigerian people. As you can see the US is agitating for nigeria to split - why do you think that is? is it because they give a damn about the welfare of nigerians within this contraption? if you beleive that then you deserve what they are about to bring to nigeria.

Good post! I have been saying this for a long time. I still think Sam_Ikenna has some good key points though. People must read this word by word to understand our situation better.

There is no talk for boko haram. Their means of communication is violence which is the language you must speak to them in. Nigeria has turned into the modern day Colesium where we entertain the world with our violence.

Nchara:

What is going on here, my SW peps?

It is possible that BH has begun to reach a some yoruba muslims and it is growing.

What the hell is this?!!! A yoruba and SS in hoko haram. Boko haram dey recruit like crips and bloods in LA. If an Igbo man be in BH, let him be killed on the spot.

To many people in and outside Nigeria, hausa and fulani are one in the same. They are inseperable in regards to their place and agenda in "One Nigeria".

yoji:

@adamabdul
I read ur earlier post dat muslims where roasted and their meat eaten, it is this kind of reasonin dat will ensure we continue to live in war. Did u bother 2 ask y they did dat?? Plateau indegenes r amongst d most peaceful pple u will ever meet. ur muslim friend aim to dominate and subjugate their hosts is wat after several violent episodes lead to dat one. Truth is ur pple in jos have pushed them to d wall and they have cracked! ur pple sneak into villages @ night and cowardly wipe out families and u r here sayin y did they eat ur meat. That last episode was as a result of ur pple choosin 2 march tru a berom neighbourhood as a sign fo provocation after several warnings by authorities not to. And besides if berom did dat, since when did they become representatives of other christians in d country. Ur reason is very poor o! So if berom wrongs u, u go and kill an ibo man because they are both christians and u think d berom man gives a bleep. And in ur senseless rampage to avenge this berom that has wronged u, u end up killin yoruba and igala muslims. And d berom man still doesn't give a bleep

Good post! Don't mind these evil people that disembowel pregant women and kill babies. They think that they are above reproach. If it is true that some beroms are eating fulanis it is proof that they have drove them mad, into a serious level of hatred that the mind cannot comprehend!

@ mens dept. & @ stayreal

Me I no knw d answer to una question o! Abeg make una educate me

@ Auwal

U may b a controversial personality here but I like u enough for who u r. This actually got me cracking because u and I knw u can only b joking. Keep havn fun girl

If you think hard enough, you will get the answer.

efisher:

Finally, my muslim brothers have woken up from their slumber. B4 the Kano attacks, I've never seen such level of condemnation for Boko rams. Now everyone can see that Boko rams are not fighting for anyone but themselves and if muslims don't stand up against them, they'll be consumed too. Well done my muslim brothers.

So, now that they are under attack, they have a problem with Boko haram? That is what is wrong with them. They lack the ability to empathize with the suffering of others until they suffer. Useless country! Let them pray that we all go our seperate ways peacefully. Any prayer other than that is in vain!

ezeagu:

62 years of praying.

62 years ago they were praying for Arewa. What stopped them from continuing this?

LOL at this fantasy.

Biafra is eagerly anticipating their domination in the African Cup of Nations when the time comes.

mens dept:

I think this fantasy can be a dream come true. Where did the name "Nigeria" come from.

Think about it.

I have been saying this for a long time. Anyone that can understand this becomes wiser.

Question: Under whose leadership was Sharia law allowed to be passed in the North?

Negro_Ntns:

I appreciate what you said Sam, very touching.  I won't go into what led to that part of undesirable Negro you know.  But I do understand your stance and you are the third person to approach me today with that demand. . . which makes it ominous for me to refuse.

I read the OP article twice and reflected on it, I didn't think I should start the thread with a controversy, it would turn people off and wouldn't get us anywhere to derive meaningful and substantial points and lessons from the post.

US is Nigeria's business partner, they are not our friend.  They accomodate us but they wouldn't bend backward to cushion our fall if it comes to it. US is also business partner with Saudi Arabia. Their partnership with the latter is a bosom one.  US will never fire a government worker that is offensive to Nigeria but they have fired on few occassions cabinet ministers that stepped on wrong Saudi toe.

The Arabic scholars (mallams) that run madrassas in North are subsidized by stipends and scholarship endowments funded indirectly from Saudi purse. For many years (i dont know if that is still ongoing or not), Saudi Arabia was paying some comfortable allowances to the Northern Nigeria Emirates, an incentive to get them into the Ummah - OIC (Org. of Islamic Council).  

The government of Buhari made some rearrangements in national banking and monetary policies that helped strengthen the naira against the dollar, import regulation and IMF loan were primary amongst these policies.  The effect initially was hard on an economy that for years had lived on largesse free for all and splurg. The micro management of the economy and banking sector soon began to produce great results.  The administration's intent was to cut off indiscipline, corruption and immorality in the society and elevate our country to true independence and self-sustenability.  The limb that fed the incentive money to Emirs was thus cut off and the OIC attachment was ignored.

Buhari's administration however supported a sharia law for the Northerners and started working on that as a way of restoring morality up in the region.  Saudi Arabia was a co-sponsor of the coup that toppled Buhari and brought IBB in. This connection was the lure that pulled Idiagbon out of the country to go to Saudi Arabia on Hajj and paved a way for the surprise pounce.

IBB reversed most of Buhari's policies. He reversed the monitor on banking and gave access to IMF. He also delivered Nigeria into official and legal membership of the OIC.  I think this was done the year after he came in power.  So Nigeria has been a member of OIC ever since.  Of all the Northern sons that ever ruled Nigeria, Buhari is treated by the North like a step child.  They did not forgive him. It is unfortunate that we will never know what a great team we had in Buhari and his cabinets. . . . until that man is dead and a book is written revealing his vision for Nigeria.  The first Northerner to ever break out of the stereotype and embrace the idea of national patriotism.  Over the years, rejected by the North and South and from losses in election after election he became embittered and his ugly side came to surface.

Let's go back to Saudi Arabia. . . . . has anyone yet wonder why all of Arabian peninsula is burning but not Saudi Arabia?

Right after Tunisia and when Egypt exploded, Followed by Yemen, Jordan. . . . Saudi Arabia was particularly concerned for Egypt, Yemen and itself, , . .   US enbedded itself and sunk its resources into Saudi Arabia in exchange for active tab on Osama.  If Tunisia had not burn, followed by Egypt and Yemen, if the mob events of the Arab spring had not happened, Osama would still be alive.  Saudi Arabia is not burning but its neighbors are because Saudi negotiated its way out.

Saudi Arabia still has lots of interest in Northen Nigeria, particularly now that the North has resolved to live under Sharia. . . . that will touch on Saudi's values and interest.  They will be asking how they can support that and make it happen.  What is dear to Saudi Arabia is dear to US.  So I will caution anyone who believes that US can be a fair and unbiased mediator and or fight the Southern cause against North to please think again.  Wherever North leans, they will draw sympathy from Saudi and wherever Saudi says hurts, US is ready to soothe it.

Good post! Especially about the northern connection to Saudi Arabia and Saudi's connection with the US. People must know that the 9/11 bombers were from Saudi Arabia and the US did not dare attack or say a word to them. That should tell us all we need to know.

Dark Knight Rises. It will be the biggest movie of the year. That is a guarantee!
