DaPuncline:

I've earlier mentioned Thomas Aguiyi Ironsi though he was prematurely booted out.

ImoRiver:
Abdulsalami is Nupe. An Hausa will not rule Nigeria as they joined Fulani to form a new Hausa/Fulani merger ethnicity in order to be majority. Of course the price they have to pay is Fulani taking their turn.

EMMAUGOH:
when FFK said that this guy new love for North will make him a stupid person oneday. He should just leave the north alone..

Yakubu Gowon was not a fulani but he championed the majority fulani Born to rule mentality when he denied the country from practicing Confederation that would have indirectly benefited his region but Reno failed to analyze a common Northern mentality. u come to see that whether fulani,hausa or whatever...christian or moslem they think alike.

kingphilip:
Well my take is wherever they are from shouldn't be my business but good governance

Minority or majority shouldn't determine our line of reasoning or assessment but how well they govern the country

I wish Nigeria will be great

AlphaCentauri:
which is why i said has there been any that did a complete 4 years as a REAL PRESIDENT not CEREMONIAL ?

Presidiotbuhari:

Abboki na abboki, wether from kogi, benue, jos, sambisa, kwara, kano or kafanchan all na thesame.... Smh

DaPuncline:

There is None.

namuguibe:
They all fall under the umbrella of Hausa and the other commonality they have is that they have looted this country!

Chimarto:
Noted. TINUBU how market?

arewafederation:


The South more diverse than the North?

My guy, you need to go learn more about your country.

I see some people lumping the middlebelt with the North today... Tomorrow they 'll tell you a different story only when it suits them.

AlphaCentauri:
Mayne i see why alaigbo wants biafra. makes sense now. never had a full term president in nigeria ? wow. yall are being maligned. then again they do say nigeria has over 200 ethnic groups so there are many ethnic groups who have not produced full term presidents

9jatatafo:
what's the difference between Hausa and Fulani or gwari? they all speak same language

ianSweet:


God forbid bad thing. Some Nigerians are really very ignorant.
Gwari language is as different from Hausa as French is different from Chinese.
Gwari is a Nupoid language under the Niger-congo family of languages. Hausa on the other hand is under the Chadic language subfamily of the Afro-asiatic family of languages. Fulani is a sene-gambian language. Kanuri is a Nilo-saharan language.

The only thing is that some of these other northern tribes understand hausa to an extent and use it as a lingua franca.

If not Gwari, Nupe and most other middlebelt languages are closer to Igbo and Yoruba than they are closer to Hausa.

Ishaq717:
**** u no do social studies or civic edu?....****

DrayZee:

The North could all come together and vote Buhari.
The South could not do the same for Jonathan... That's where the division lies...

Gaxx01:

And what language is that? Do Ogoni, Ekwere and igbo people speak the same language?? #ignorance

codemaniacs:


That's the point.

Naturalise into the Hausa tribe and try to hold political office in "Nigeria". People from chad,niger,cameroon, mali e.t.c can claim to be Nigerians easily.

Chimarto:
Noted. TINUBU how market?

ianSweet:


You are wrong! In 2011, 7 northern states (middlebelt especially) rejected Buhari and voted GEJ, with states like Plateau and Kaduna giving GEJ over 1 million votes each, more than even many southern states gave GEJ.

Some of u just dont know anything about the demographics of Nigeria.
Middlebelt is the weak point of Northern unity just as Yorubas are the weak point of southern unity.

Even in 2015, Buhari still lost in Plateau, Nasarawa, Taraba and FCT (middlebelt).

aisammy4:


Yeh, Gere is in Kaduna

Unimaginable123:
wushishi people are not nupes

Amusaopeyemi:

Same thing I thought until I started touring Nigeria with Alhaji Danladi. Mehn, sooooooooo many tribes in the north. The only thing is that all of them understands and speak Hausa.

Oblang:


Why u no say southerner na southerner...

DrayZee:

It's okay.... As far as I'm concerned, Middlebelt and the North are different.

yarimo:
Op ABDULLSALAM ABUBAKAR is not a hausa man as you claim, he is an indigene of CHANCHAGA local government of niger state . And they are GWARI by tribe

Unimaginable123:
you are talking of middle belt. I'm talking of core North. Go to sokoto, kano, katsina, even daura, they speak hausa in every family. U will never hear fulfude (which is fulani language) spoken anywhere

themosthigh:
[size=18pt] RENO OMOKRI DO YOUR RESEARCH WELL, ABDULSALAM IS A NUPE MAN NOT HAUSA AND TAFEWA BELEWA WAS SAYEWA NOT GERE.
[/size]

DeRay98:
Let me also correct the notion that Murtala Mohamed was from Kano state, that's he claimed because he grew up there. He is originally from Edo state, somewhere in Edo North (i don't know his village) just like Ahmed Musa of Super Eagles also claims Kano state.

koladebrainiac:
Abdulsalam is a gwari from Niger state.
Jonathan never wanted to be president or vice president just like Yaradua.
GEJ too is an accidental president.
