Caseless: Why are the fulanis so hypertensive at the mention of middlebelt. They have successfully divided the SE,SS & SW. Yet they want to keep their strangle hold on the middlebelt. |

Adamawa Taraba Plateau Nasarawa Niger Benue FCT Northern Kwara Central and Eastern Kogi Southern Kebbi Southern Kaduna Southern Bauchi Southern Gombe These areas are Middle Belt areas. They are the areas in the old Northern Region made up of non-Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri ethnic minorities. Religion should not be used to confuse people. And not everyone in the Middle Belt speaks Hausa as a second language. For 60 years and even more, the Far North has insisted on lumping themselves with them for political advantage but without any benefits to them. The identification of this region as a unique Central Region will go a long way to bring political stability to the entire country |

In other words, just like “core north” is a geographic genteelism for “Hausa Muslim North,” “Middle Belt” is a geographic genteelism for a Christian ethnic minority region out of what colonial cartographers designated as the “North” since the early 1900s.This is where I stopped reading. The quote above is deceptive aimed at defeating the very idea of Middle Belt. This article is filled with lies and half truths. What censors figure classified Christians as minority in any geographical location in Nigeria? Only a pathological liar or a hopelessly ignorant person will tag Christians MINORITY in Middle Belt. ONE NIGERIA DOES NOT EXIST! |
