During a visit to one hospital in Abuja, I met a nurse. The patient I visited simply referred to the nurse as a Northerner, although the nurse looked nothing like so. It was the APC presidential primary day and as the results were being called, the discussion switch to politics. I wanted to know which party they will settle for as northerners, between Muslim -Muslim APC or northern candidate PDP. She seriously but calmly picked offence and nearly issued me a warning never to address her or her idoma people as northerners again as they see it as disregard. It was then I learnt she was an Idoma from Benue and her name was Ada.
She further explained she could speak Ibo and that they've always wanted an Apa state and prefare it in southeast. They would've joined Igala in Kogi state she explained but nearly half of Igalas are Muslims.

This got me worried as a Yoruba because this pattern strongly show among Idoma people I have observed. Since Benue is largely to the East what Kwara is to Southwest, why does Benue always show eagerness in joining the south or east while Kwara are more crazy about North than some core northerners?

Benue governor pulled the state out of northern governors' forum Sometime ago but people from Kwara are trying to convince the Muslims among we Yorubas the need to identify with North.

It is obvious the future of the yoruba race is imperiled if topics like self determination dominate debates in the nearest future.

We have no friends and we need to realise it. Why does Kwara like north while Benue wants south?

Kwara indigenous Yorubas have sold their birthrights and land to Fulani.

They're so oppresed that they cannot even celebrate their Yoruba festivals again.

They're now looking for another capital apart from Ilorin.
Big shame.

That's the result of the complicity in the diversity of Nigeria

Most Idoma people I know want Biafra.
