Were Southern Politicians Clueless During D Political Division Of The Regions? by SouthNigeriac: 11:27am On Jul 10, 2021
Looking at how Nigeria has fared, both locally and internationally, it's not bad saying that Nigeria hasn't progressed. At a time in 1995, Nigeria was almost on par with China in terms of international expectations.

It's 2021, and it'd be an insult mentioning Nigeria in same sentence as China, well we could if it's a sentence about Nigeria borrowing from China.�



Enough of the introduction! Can we talk about our Northern brothers and the cowardly, naive and unintelligent southern politicians?

I have always have this belief that one of the reasons why Nigeria is such a diversified mess today is because of the ways states were formed. Talk about putting unrelated people together? Talk Nigeria.

The first time a friend I considered Igbo told me he is from Edo state, I was really shocked. This guy bears Igbo names and speaks Igbo very well, and both parents are from Edo state, from an Igbo community in Edo. And the community is closer to Delta state.

Some parts of the same Edo were supposed to be in Ondo state, but they were cut off from their people and given false tribal identity. Is this a problem? Yes, it is.

The first transaction between the white man and the Igbos happened in Aboh, Delta state and presently, there's oil exploration in the region.

The Igboland is around 40,000km² but the SouthEast is a paltry 28,000km². Was this a decision most of our politicians during that time agreed to?

How they efficiently moved some parts of the Igboland away and gave them a different identity shows how smarter they were than the Southern politicians who were much far read.

The same thing is also observed in some other regions like Calabar, Akwa Ibom etc. Why'd the Ijaws be spread across several states in Nigeria when they could be better staying together. But then the Northerners are all clustered together in the North. Was it a masterplan to disintegrate the Southerners to pieces so they don't agree on a thing?



The SouthEast we know today is a landlocked region with no access to the sea, and is a paltry 28,000km² as opposed to the initial 40,000km² of the main Igboland.



I call this a masterpiece plan. The brilliant strategy and how they executed it is to be studied.

The dumbness and numbness of the Southern politicians were legendary. How they folded their hands and watch as they were being torn apart into several states.

Nigeria is really a disaster but I do believe we can still make things work through restructuring.

If restructuring is not feasible we breakoff from to form South Nigeria confederation

I think I need telling you that they have more ethnic groups in the north, far more than we have in the south

Considering North land mass, considering their population, it's justifiable though not in support of the practiced quota system

There were Arabs and European distinct and somehow integrated Civilizations. North Africa Morrocco to Egypt and Sudan were ARABS classified as SUDANESE NEGROES.

Below the Cancer Tropics to Cape Town, SOUTH AFRICA were the BANTU NEGROES. Southern NIGERIA are Bantus who probably were not as shrewd BARGAINERS as their SUDANESE COUNTERPARTS. USMAN DAN FODIO TOOK ADVANTAGE AND WAS ABLE TO CAJORE THE ADAMAWAS, TARABAS, THE PLATEAUS TO COME WITH THEM TO NORTHERN NIGERIA.

SO THE ALMAGAMATION, TO SOUTHERN NIGERIA, WAS SEEN MERELY AND EXCITINGLY AS OPPORTUNITY TO WIDEN THEIR HORIZON AND MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE SUDANESE. THEY NEVER ENVISAGE THAT THE SUDANESE WERE IN IT TO EXPLOIT THEM.

IT'S NOW THAT THE ALMAGAMATION IS MADE, HAD I KNOWN, MORE PAINFUL BY BMF-BOKOISWA

Plateau and kaduna alone have more ethnic groups than the whole of the south
