chyz:

And how does the country staying together,federalism or not stop the minority tribes from screaming 'marginalization'? In delta state alone the igbos are the single largest tribe amongst various tribes, the same goes for the yorubas with kwara,the idoma with benue,etc.

Nigeria staying together will just continue to be a tug of war for resources. Federalism is not the answer.It'll still never work especially since the same elites will be in the same positions as now.

Beaf:

They are not, and the political reality on the ground says so. IBB played them a serious bad hand and thats what has to be resolved, not making claims that don't bear scrutiny.

Back to topic.

chyz:

They are. i said "single" largest. if not then which tribe is?

Beaf:

Urhobo.

chyz:

Sorry the Urobos alone is small compared to the Igbo and even when combine with the Isoko they are still not as large as the igbos:

Beaf:

That has to be the funniest and craziest way of calculating population!
Figures and hard political realities on the ground are far superior to maps, don't you think?
Its ok to claim though, cos it ends up neither here nor there and life goes on as fact and reality dictate.

Beaf:

Urhobo.

sbeezy8:

you must be naughty person TO THINK OBJ CAUSED THIS IM NOT IGBO BUT WHEN THE NORTH PROMISED EKWUEME PRESIDENCY AFTER SHAGARI AND BUHARI TOOK OVER DID THE NORTH SAY "YEA ITS IGBOS TURN, BUHARI GO SIT DOWN"? NO


Zoning has always been used by northerners to trick southerers AND WE WILL NOT FALL FOR IT -THE ONLY TRUE ANSWER TO SOUTHERNERS PROBLEM IS A COMMON GROUND, ON FEDERALISM, EDUCATION, AND RELIGOUS FREEDOM - MIDDLE BELT WANT THAT, IGBO WANT THAT, YORUBAS WANT THAT AND NIGER DELTANS WANT THAT!!!

I dont know where this guy chyz gets his fact from. lol

Even if the north break away it wil not stop militancy in the ND kidnapping and armed robbery in the east but rather aggravate it wit an influx of millions of migrating southners from the north. In house fighting wil be the order, niger republic wit less resources than the northern 9jah survived, we can do better. But dis wil not happen until d oil well dried up

Moonstone:

If you take into account the increasing desertification of the Northern area, you would know that very soon everything is moving down south, thanks to global warming. Sahara is spreading faster than it is contracting. Besides, we can always get food from them no matter what or else, how are they going to build their economy?

chuqudy:

Do you want them to die of hunger.

gadogado:

Fool, only about 3% of total land mass of northern Nigeria is "desertified" since you are no scientist, leave the desertification/global warming issues to the experts who know what they're talking about.
