SW,SS And SE Suffer From Shortsightedness- Sam Morris by argon500: 9:12pm On Apr 05, 2015
"I am a Yoruba man. Let us start from there. the whole South is indeed shortsighted. When I talk about the South, that includes SW,SS, SE. It is very important, that we realize that the North Hausa/Fulani are very smart and broad picturistic minded people, who have exerted their harmonious political dominance on the South for more than forty years. The South in question has shown how gullible she is in accepting the ideology of "One Nigeria" despite the glaring ethnicity that has pervaded the country. The fact that each ethnic group in Nigeria has her own political community cannot be emphasized.

The various ethnic groups have also glaring cultural differences so profound that you won't help but wonder why there isn't any push by these ethnic groups to secede from the geo-political frame work called Nigeria. This is because if we want to be honest with ourselves we can see that the Northern Nigeria while in power has an overreaching tendency to marginalize Southerners especially Christians whom they view as "infidels". Isn't it appropriate then that we come to terms with reality by saying the cultural differences of the various ethnic groups and their political ideologies that differ does make an argument for the seceding of these ethnic groups as they mark their territories or boundaries as allowed by the majority all within the confines of the right to self determination as procured by democracy. Thus, it is necessary that we understand that some ethnic groups are being over exploited by others all in the guise of Federalism.

The South is particularly exploited by the North that seems to have huge interest in the Crude Oil resource located in the South. One may then wonder what glue holds Nigeria together , I mean what glue that holds the North and South together, the appropriate response is Crude Oil. Thus, the North's reliance on Crude Oil money has continually made them shout one Nigeria. Don't be surprised that the day the North discovers oil in Kano or Kaduna, she will be the one clamoring for secession. In the face of all these deceits, it is a shame and disgrace that the South lost the presidential powers in 2015, because of her inability to unite and strategize. Hence, they should not complain to the world when the Slave - Master relationship of the South and North continues in retrospect.

"CHANGE", a very powerful word indeed. Who doesn't desire positive "CHANGE". However, if this "CHANGE" masks an agenda of marginalization and exploitation or this "CHANGE" in question is driven by the quest to retain power by a particular ethnic group or this "CHANGE" has been backed up by covertly carried out negative events that scuffle democracy, then it is no longer deserving to be called "CHANGE", hence better called " EVIL MANIPULATION".

The fact is that the Union of the Northern and Southern protectorates of Nigeria rests upon public opinion, and can never be cemented by the blood of its citizens shed in the Nigerian civil war of 1967 - 1970. If it can not live in the affections of the people, it must one day perish. The federal Government of Nigeria possesses many means of preserving it by conciliation, but the sword was not placed in their hand to preserve it by force. We the "South" must secede from the political community called "Nigeria".

Why should they work against the North just because Ibos want that? For your info, Western Nigeria has more in common with Present day Mid-Western Nigeria (History, culture, religion) and Northern Nigeria ( History, Religion) than they do with Eastern Nigeria. Besides, Eastern Nigeria antagonizes everyone else so how will a cooperation come about?

CRY ME A RIVER.

Two understanding neighbors are stronger than two fighting brothers. The Igbos attitude to politics implies they will continue to live under domination (and control if it wants to secede) for a very long time. No politically astute northerner will ever ally with the SE in light of their political value and now widely acknowledged hatred for anything across the Niger (thanks to social media). Never ever.

Igbo didn't really see that the best chance for an Igbo person to become the president of Nigeria is with the APC as PDP will never allow them.

If not for baba Iyabo it wouldn't have been easy for GEJ to get there at all. Igbo need the cooperation of other region as their votes alone can never be enough to vote in a President in one Nigeria!

In PDP primaries no Hausa delegates will vote for an Igbo person. That's why I feel their best chance is with APC.

What makes you think Hausas will vote for the Igbo under APC? Are the Hausas in the APC different from their brothers in the PDP?
