Open Letter To Fellow Nigerian Youth by reel14: 8:36pm On Sep 21, 2017
DEAR Nigerians, Fight Class Not Tribe


LET TRUE FACTS BE TOLD, NO HAUSA HAVE
RULED NIGERIA.

Nigeria got the independence in 1960 which is 57
years now.
Let's look at the records:
The longest serving president in Nigeria is a
Northern Christian minority Yakubu Gowon 9
years. He's Angas by tribe from North Central.
Followed by a Nupe man another minority from
North Central IBB. He ruled for 8 years.
A kanuri man from Borno, Abacha ruled for 5
years. Kanuri is another minority from North
East.

Tafawa Balewa ruled for 6 years a Northern
minority from Balewa North East as prime
minister . While Zik was the president.

Murtala Mohammed from Auchi but Born in kano
ruled for a year before he was assassinated.
Shagari a Fulani man from Sokoto, from core
North ruled for 4 years.
Yaradua a Fulani man from Katsina, a core north
ruled for 2 years
Abdulsalam a Gwari minority from Niger North
Central ruled for 1 year.
Buhari ruled for 10 months(1st time) and now in
his 3rd year(2nd time).
Obasanjo a Yoruba man from South West ruled
for 3 and half years.
Same Obasanjo a Yoruba man ruled for 8 years.
Shonekan a Yoruba man from South West ruled
for 6 months.

Jonathan a minority from South South ruled for 6
years.
Aquiyi ironsi for 7 months from guess where?
Abia State.

If you check the whole record, Hausa man never
ruled Nigeria.

All the 3 Fulani president, Buhari , Yaradua and
Buhari again have ruled for 10 years to date.
Yorubas 12 years
Angas(present day Kanke) for 9 years
Nupe 8 years
Ijaw almost 6 years
Gwari 1 year
Kanuri 5 years
Ironsi : 7 months
Igbos zero month (if we say Ironsi is not an igbo
man)

And if you look at the 57 years rule
Muslim rule for 29.5 years
Christian rule for 27.5 years ( Zik presidency not
added).

But I keep wondering why some Nigerians keep
calling Hausa - Muslim Born to rule.
Many are very economical with the truth, what
Obasanjo spent in power is more than what the
whole Fulanis spent even if Buhari finish this
tenure.

And here is a shocker, the Hausas are actually a
majority. Imagine if they begin to look at issues
from tribal perspective and begin to emotionally
blackmail us all with cries of marginalization
which factually is true.
But the poor Hausa man is not. For one way, he
understands that we all have been marginalized.
Our war should be against the class
marginalization. The rich versus the poor.
For it is the same thing that a poor man from
Nupe, or the poor man from Efik, Igala, Kanuri,
Fulani etc suffers that the poor Hausa man
suffers likewise the poor Igbo man. That class
disparity ought to be our war. Not the hate
resulting from lies that an Hausa man have ruled
us for 200 years when infact the true tally is
zero.

We are better together. Yes we have grievances,
but blackmail, lies, propaganda won't solve them
for us. Only the truth can and will.
