Ambassador John Campbell By E. C. Ejiogu

THESE POSTS REALLY BREAK MY HEART, I DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START. I STRUGGLE DAILY TO EDUCATE MY NORTHERN BROTHERS BACK AT HOME WHO HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED OF EDUCATION AND MEANS OF LIVELYHOOD BY A NIGERIAN RULING CLASS THAT EMPLOYS RELIGION IN A DIABOLICAL SCHEME TO TURN THIS SAME YOUTH AGAINST SOUTHERNERS AS A WAY OF GAINING POLITICAL LEVERAGE. YET HERE I AM AGAIN UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS THIS TIME WITH A SO CALLED EDUCATED SOUTHERNER WHO REFUSED (OR COULD NOT) SEE THAT THE ENEMY IS THE RULING CLASS. OPEN YOUR ETHNIC MIND, DROP YOUR BIGOTRY AND SEE NIGERIA'S PROBLEM FOR WHAT IT IS. YOU DONT HAVE TO TELL NORTHERN ("UNEDUCATED") PEOPLE WHAT TO DO AGAINST THE RULING CLASS, THEIR "EDUCATION" IS BEYOND YOUR LEVEL IN THAT REGARD. CHECK YOUR HISTORY HAVE YOU HEARD OF NEPU (NORTHERN ELEMENTS PROGERSSIVE UNION)? DID LOOK AT THE JUNE 12 ELECTION? CAN YOU DROP YOUR ETHNIC GLASSES AND LOOK AT THE VIOLENCE OF THE APRIL ELECTION? BUHARI WILL BE PAID COMPENSATION BECAUSE HE WAS A VICTIM OF IT.

"The Brits never wanted the hardball of the educated and emancipated south and so does the entire west,they prefer the more gullible and less educated north with a herd mentality,once they had the Emir of Imam in thier pockets, the job was done.The republican minded Igbo,the highly emancipated Yoruba and the unpredictable tribes of the delta need to come together and resist the Campbells of this world."

WE HAVE HAD PRESIDENTS FROM 2 OF THE 4 REGIONS YOU LISTED, WHICH ONE OF THEM HAS NOT TOWED THE IMF AND WESTERN LINE? INFACT THE CLUELESSNESS AND COLO- MENTALITY OF THE SOUTHERN PRESIDENTS HAS REACHED AN UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL THEY VIRTUALLY INVITED THE IMF TO RUN THE COUNTRY. THEY ARE AFRAID OF MAKING MISTAKES ON THE IMF MODEL. WHERE HAS THAT LANDED US? YOU SEE OSITA THERE IS THE ACADEMIC AND THERE IS THE LEARNED. TO BE LEARNED YOU DONT NEED ACADEMIC CERTIFICATES. YOU ARE MIXING THE TWO THAT IS WHY YOU DONT SEE THE IGNORANCE IN THE "REMOVAL OF SUBSIDY".

THE TALAKAWAS HAVE BEEN REBELLING AGAINST THE RULING ORLIGARCHY IN NIGERIA THE REAL REACTIONARY DRAG TO NIGERIAS PROGRESS ARE SOUTHERNERS LIKE YOU WHO FAIL TO SEE BEYOND THEIR ETHNIC NOSES. DO YOU REMEMBER THE JUNE 12 ELECTION? ARE YOU AWARE THAT IN THE CITY OF KANO ABIOLA DEFEATED A ROYAL BLOOD (BASHIR TOFA) IN THE BALLOT BOX AT GANDUN ALBASA IN FRONT OF BASHIR TOFA'S HOUSE? DO YOU THINK IN THE NEXT 100 YEARS YOU SOUTHERNERS WILL SHOW SUCH POLITICAL MATURITY? YOU PEOPLE ARE SO BLIND THAT WHEN THE NORTHERN TALAKAWAS ATTACK THE EMIRS AND OTHER NORTHERN ELITE AFTER THE APRIL ELECTION YOU STILL USE YOUR TRIBALISTICALLY TWISTED MIND TO INTERPRETE IT AS A NORTHERN ATTACK AGAINST SOUTHERNERS. THE NORTHERNERS HAVE SEEN WHERE PDP WILL TAKE US LONG BEFORE YOU START YOUR RETROSPECTIVE RECRIMINATIONS ON THIS FORUM ABOUT THE WAY "DUMBO JO" IS HANDLING THE COUNTRY. NOW THAT YOU HAVE TURNED THE ELECTION INTO A TRIBAL AFFAIR I WILL SEE HOW DUMBO WILL BE SOLD TO THE CORE NORTH IN THE NEXT ELECTION.

I CHECKED YOUR POST AND COULD NOT FIND WHERE YOU ACCUSE BUHARI OF STEALING AND THE ONLY BETRAYAL YOU REMEMBER WAS THAT HE PROMISED NEVER TO CONTEST AGAIN. YOU SHOULD KNOW THESE ARE MONUMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS IN NIGERIAN POLITICS TODAY. I AM TALKING ABOUT THE BUHARI WHO AS A MILITARY MAN BROUGHT DOWN THE PRICE OF OMO FROM N3 TO 50K, THE ONLY ERA IN NIGERIAS HISTORY WHERE PRICES COME DOWN. THE BUHARI WHO AS A MILITARY MAN CONSTRUCTED THE THREE OUT OF THE FOUR REFINERIES WE HAVE NOW, AND NO ONE SINCE THEN WAS EVEN ABLE TO REPAIR THEM LET ALONE BUILD NEW ONES. THE BUHARI WHO REFUSED TO TAKE THE IMF'S UNFAIR LOANS AND PROVIDE WORKABLE SOLUTION FOR NIGERIA WHEN HE FACED FINANCIAL BLOCKADE INTERNATIONALLY. THE BUHARI WHO RUN PTF. AS FOR YOUR RECYCLING CLAIM WE HAVE NOT BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE LEADERS THAT WILL RIVAL HIM THAT IS WHY HE IS STILL RELEVANT. WHY DO YOU THINK OBJ OR IBB WERE NOT RUNNING? WHY WONT THEY HAVE THE COURAGE TO FACE THE ELECTORATE. WE SHALL SEE IF HE WILL LOSE AGAIN.

When national issues are at stake,people "think home",but just as we think home Mr campbell is doing the same.The same dynamics that compelled the British to take sides and defeat Biafra is very much in play today(except the Boko-haram).Mr Campbell,a diplomat,is solidly entrenched in western policy for Africa,he is an essentiall part of that establishment therefore I find it foolish for anybody to feel that Mr Campbell loves Nigeria so much,rather the Man knows where his bread is buttered,and he also knows that the Hausa-Fulani are the easiest to manipulate.The Brits never wanted the hardball of the educated and emancipated south and so does the entire west,they prefer the more gullible and less educated north with a herd mentality,once they had the Emir of Imam in thier pockets, the job was done.The republican minded Igbo,the highly emancipated Yoruba and the unpredictable tribes of the delta need to come together and resist the Campbells of this world.

IBRAHIM SAAD, may not have answered all my questions but I admire how he composed himself on this blog.The previous questions I asked Northern bloggers are how come Northern muslims are engaged in terrorizing innocent civilians and why are they on bombing spree now that the country has a Christian president? How come northern leaders kept mute?Our leaders from all region have failed everyone of us and If I am lying,one region would look closer to Abu Dhabi in Dubai. We all should be very careful on how we spit hate,I may not have been around during the Biafran era but I went on two tours in Iraq as a Field Engineer and I am telling you from my experience that war is ugly. I am pro Aburi accord and have been clamoring for true federalism or SNC. Don't think I am ill informed about the happenings in Nigeria,I visit Nigeria constantly. I only respond to ignorant comments on SR cos I have a life outside SR.

Shelve your tribal sentiment for a minute and be honest with your self, I have dealt with all ethnic groups of Nigeria and I am speaking for myself. I am not speaking for you or my relatives that generalize their hatred towards a whole ethnic group without dealing with them one on one. Every ethnic groups have bad eggs and I will not say mine is exceptional. I am far from been an ethnic jingoist and will never be.I lost family members in the Biafran war as you too.I can not live my life on hate cos I am more than civilize to stick to such negativity. Read TUNDEMASH comment and learn how to respect others.

IS IT JUST FOR THE NORTH TO HAVE MISRULED NIGERIA FOR NEARLY FORTY YEARS WHILE A MAJOR GEOPOLITICAL ZONE LIKE THE SOUTH EAST HAS NOT RULED FOR EVEN ONE YEAR? WHY HAVE THE HAUSA FULANI SWORN THAT GEJ CAN NOT REST AND FOCUS TO DELIVER TO ORDINARY NIGERIANS AND HAVE BEEN DISTRACTING HIM WITH ALLEGATIONS OF INCOMPETENCE WHEN HE HAS NOT BEEN IN OFFICE FOR SIX MONTHS? LOQUACIOUS PINT SIZED EL RUFAIHAS BEEN LEADING THE CHARGE AGAINST GEJ BUT WAS RECENTLY INDICTED BY THE SENATE FOR WRONGS DONE IN BPE UNDER HIS WATCH. LIVE AND LET LIVE MAY JUST BE ENOUGH UNTIL TIME AND CIRCUMSTANCE SORTS NIGERIA OUT IF THE PRESENT RULERS REFUSE TO DO SO ON A ROUND TABLE CONFERENCE WHICH HAS BEEN SANCTIONED BY FOUR OUT OF SIX GEO POLITICAL ZONES. OF COURSE, THE EXCEPTIONS ARE NORTH EAST AND NORTH WEST AND I WONDER WHY THE MAJORITY HAVE ALLOWED THE MINORITY TO HOLD THEM HOSTAGE.IBRAHIM SAAD, ARE YOU NOT SAD?

Its irksome ,in this clime we give audience to men like Campbell.A retired,jobless diplomat seeking attention at all costs.We must realize men like Campbell constitute bulk of the problem with Nigeria.All he is seeking is an oil block so he can shut the hell up.Sure ,he wouldn't get one.We don't need you Campbell to fix Nigeria!

HAVING SUFFERED SERIES OF GENOCIDES INSTIGATED BY THEM IN JOS-1945, KANO- 1953,ALL OVER THE NORTH - MAY 29, AUGUST 29, SEPTEMBER 29 ALL OF 1966,ASABA- 1968,BIAFRA- 1967 TO 1970 AND UNCOUNTABLE WAVES OF ETHNO RELIGIOUS KILLINGS FROM 1980 TO 2011, IGBOS CAN NEVER WISH TO BE LOVED BY THE HAUSA FULANI WHO EVEN DISCRIMINATE AGAINST YORUBA AND NORTHERN MINORITY MOSLEMS. IN BETTER CLIMES, BUHARI REPRESENTING THE HAUSA FULANI AND THEIR AGENTS-GOWON, AWOLOWO, OBASANJO ETC SHOULD BE CURRENT AND POSTHUMOUS GUESTS OF L.M. OCAMPO'S ICC AT THE HAGUE FOR GENOCIDE AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY . AND THIS SAME BUHARI WHO IS FAR FROM BEING CLEAN HAS THE EFFRONTRY TO CAUSE 'MASS ACTION' AND BRAND ELECTORAL OUTCOME FRAUDULENT AS IF THE PRESIDENCY OF NIGERIA IS HIS BIRTH RIGHT.HOW COME SADAUNA MUST BE FULANI, EMIR MUST BE FULANI AND MUST PRESIDENT ALSO BE FULANI?

THE 'TALAKAWA SPRING'IN THE CORE NORTH WILL SURELY TAKE PLACE IF THE BUHARIS,SARDAUNAS, EMIRS, EL RUFAIS ETC OF THE CORE NORTH REFUSE TO CHANGE FOR GOOD AND MAY AS WELL START FROM 'SHARIA' AND 'BOKO HARAM' WHICH, AS POLITICAL BANANA PEELS LAID OUT FOR OTHERS,MAY ULTIMATELY COME BACK TO HAUNT THEM WHEN EXTERNAL CASUALTIES ARE NO MORE AVAILABLE. IS IT NOT AN IRONY THAT THE MIDDLE BELT HIRELINGS OF THE HAUSA FULANI DURING THE POGROMS AND CIVIL WAR ARE NOW GETTING A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE IN THE HANDS OF THESAME HAUSA FULANI MASTERS?.INJUSTICE IS A UNIVERSAL VICE THAT MUST BE FOUGHT BY ALL MEN OF GOODWILL AS WHAT GOES ROUND COMES ROUND.'IBO BOY FROM CALIFORNIA' CAN ONLY DISPLAY HIS PERSONAL IGNORANCE BUT NEVER WILL A TIME COME FOR ALL IGBOS TO BE THAT STUPID TO THINK HAUSA FULANI ARE HONEST AND GOOD PEOPLE.

IBRAHIM SAAD, IT IS SAD THAT YOU PREFER TO MISS THE POINT. IGBOS DO NOT NEED YOUR ACCEPTANCE BECAUSE THEY ARE SELF ASSURED. YOU FAILED TO TELL US HOW MANY TIMES THE IGBOS YOU LIVED WITH IN THE SOUTH EAST MOLESTED,DISCRIMINATED AGAINST OR TRIED TO KILL YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE A MOSLEM OR HAUSA.RATHER, THEY WERE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED THAT YOU COULD BEAT THEM IN CLASS! THAT IS CALLED HEALTHY COMPETITION ON A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD.THE TRAGEDY IN NIGERIA IS THAT YOUR RULERS REFUSED TO MAKE NIGERIA LEVEL FOR ALL.THEY ARE PIG HEADED TO EVER CONTEMPLATE BORN TO RULE AND OTHER NIGERIANS BORN TO SERVE AND WHEN IT DOES NOT HAPPEN, INSTIGATE KILLING PEOPLE IN THE NAME OF RELIGION.HOW WE WISH THE CORE NORTH WILL BE MASSIVELY EDUCATED BECAUSE IT IS THAT BODY THAT CAN OVERTHROW THE REACTIONARY ORDER THAT HAS BEEN CREATING PROBLEMS FOR THE PAST TWO HUNDRED YEARS.

@IBRAHIM SAAD, Are you kidding me? Buhari a Vissionary and Skillful Leader, you must be hallucinating. Which of the Buhari, the Military one or the one that transmuted to democrat? You people just wont stop, enough of your recycling, Buhari has passed his prime, his coup of 1983 put Nigeria in a reverse gear, enough of his pontification. He promised that last election would be his last but now he has started scheming for 2015, a man who can not keep his word. If Buhari like, Let him run for Presidency of Nigeria 100 times, he is still bound to lose. If Buhari was skillful and vissionary as you said, he wouldn't have truncated the Government of Shagari. He would have retired and join politics. Since he didn't, he can not be able to erase his name in the Coup plotters hall of infamy.

An ethnic bigot writing a silly article. A little while ago, his problem was "little man Buhari" as he put it, now it is Ambassador Campbell. He forgot to tell us the Nigerian wife of Campbell is non-hausa bc that doesn't fit into his warped mind. But if Campbell's wife had been a northener, that would have been written boldly and underlined.
E. C. Ejiogu, grow up and think out of this ethnic box. When it is convenient for you as you wrote in this article the Ijaw man suffers like the Igbo man but in order articles you have written, the Ijaw man betrayed Biafra.
Non actualisation of Biafra isn't the problem of the Igbo man; the problem of the Igbo man is the greed of their leaders like Kalu, Nnamani, Chuwumerije, Nzeribe, Andy Uba and co. Which of them supports Biafra? The Yorubas and Hausas suffers same with their own greedy leaders and the Ijaw man is presently suffering that under Dumbo Jo. Nigeria collectively suffers under a set of deranged leaders that transcend every tribe.

IF ALL IBGOS ARE LIKE YOU NIGERIA WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER IGBO CONTROL. YOU SEE I HAVE A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY THE IGBO PEOPLE UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL. I STUDIED AT FED. POLY. AFIKPO (AKANU-IBIAM POLY NOW). I HAVE LIVED IN RURAL OHAOZARA IN A TOWN CALLED OKPOSI FROM WHERE I GRADUATED AND THEN WENT TO FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY OWERRI. I LIVED IN OKIGWE ROAD THERE. I STILL REMEMBER THE HORROR OF MY CLASS MATES IN AFIKPO WHEN THE FIRST SEMESTER RESULT CAME OUT AND I WAS TOP OF MY CLASS. THEY COULD NOT BELIEVE IT! HOW CAN A NON IGBO BE INTELLIGENT, A HAUSA MAN FOR THAT MATTER. MY OTHER PROBLEM WAS MY DISTINCT IGBO LOOKS, AND SO MOST OF THEM CHOSE TO BELIEVE I WAS IGBO. IT TOOK A LONG TIME FOR THEM TO ACCEPT I WAS NOT IGBO, I GRADUATED FROM KAI MALLAM! TO ONYI IGBO AND FINALLY VISITING PROF. THIS EJIOGU OF A GUY WILL NOT ACCEPT BUHARI AS A VISIONARY AND SKILLFUL LEADER BECAUSE HE HAS THE NAME BUHARI, SIMPLE. HOW THEN DO YOU EXPECT NON IGBOS TO ACCEPT YOU?

@Anas, @Fe.muwe, What can you say of the Unabated Boko Haram attacks and continued criminal silence from Northern Leaders? The writer said the truth, what is there to love about an ethnic group that cherish to waste innocent lives, including pregnant women and children. When will you people get tired of shedding innocent bloods. How many more will die in the North before your Leaders finally know that violence can not do any society good.It is only an evil people can condone such despicable acts. The Fulani ethnic group are power drunk, they have continued to hide under the religion of Islam to further their conquest agenda, all the violence in the North and most part of Nigeria are tied to the same agenda to use violence as a means to make the Government of the day incapable to lead.

SHEHU SHAGARI STOPPED FUNDING THE UNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATION SCHEME IN THE SECOND REPUBLIC. ONE OF OBASANJO'S FIRST PUBLIC FUNCTIONS IN 1999 WAS THE LAUNCHING OF UNIVERSAL BASIC EDUCATION IN SOKOTO AND WE HAVE UBEBS IN ALL STATES WITH REQUISITE FUNDING BY THE FGN.SO WHO IS SABOTAGING THE EFFICACY OF UBEB IN THE CORE NORTH?LITTLE WONDER ALHAJI BIRMA, THE ONE TIME FEDERAL EDUCATION MINISTER'S ALOUD FRUSTRATION THAT HE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THE CRAZE OF SOUTHERNERS FOR 'PAPER QUALIFICATION' AS HE WAS BUSY FIGHTING SATELITE CAMPUSES OF UNIVERSITIES.YET WITHOUT 'PAPER QUALIFICATION', THE NORTH WOULD NOT HAVE PROF JIBRIL AMINU,SANUSI L. SANUSI, FORMER EFCC RIBADU, ETC.NIGERIANS MUST UNDERSTAND THE ANTICS OF THESE TROUBLE MAKERS WHO GIDEON OKAR 'EXCISED' IN HIS FAILED 1990 COUP.IT IS ONLY WHEN NIGERIANS TAKE TIME TO UNDERSTAND THEM THAT THEY CAN BE 'CONTAINED' WITH THEIR BORN TO MISRULE MENTALITY.LET NO AMERICAN COME AND TEACH US NONSENSE, DUE REGARDS TO FELA A. KUTI.

Mr.Campbell should not be blamed, he was merely following the same script that has been written by the Hausa-Fulani Oligarchy, they made the rest of Nigeria look like one Big Hausa-Fulani empire, Campbell and his irks are yet to come to terms with the ethnic composition of Nigeria, they saw Nigeria on the prism of Hausa-Fulani cum British imposed Unity, without knowing the deceit behind the false Unity. Nigeria is a country of diiferent Ethnic Nationalities with seperate Homelands who found themselves in one country foisted on them by the British. Nigeria can not attain meaningful growth, peace and Unity without having a mutually agreed terms on how to live together. The likes of Campbell should do more to educate themselves on the true situation of Nigeria. The forced Marriage is bound to fail, it is a matter of time.

BUT FOR THE FEEBLE ATTEMPTS AT POLITICAL LIBERATION BY AMINU KANO IN THE FIRST AND SECOND REPUBLICS, COMPLACENCY,'ALMAJIRI' AND 'BOKO HARAM'APPEAR TO BE THE WAY FOREWARD FOR THE UNDERDOGS/ENSLAVED HIRELINGS.
ONE REALLY WONDERS HOW THE SLAVES CAN LIBERATE THEMSELVES WITHOUT WESTERN EDUCATION WHERAS THEIR TRADUCERS ARE THE MOST WESTERN EDUCATED GROUP IN THE CORE NORTH.IRONICALLY, THESAME OVERLORDS WHO CREATED THE ILLITERACY/POVERTY PROBLEMS BY PREVENTING THE COLONIAL MASTERS FROM REPLACING KORANIC SCHOOLS WITH WESTERN SCHOOLS NOW TURN ARROUND TO BLAME THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR POVERTY AND ILLITERACY IN THE CORE NORTH.THE FGN MUST HOLD THE NORTHERN ELITE AND THE STATE GOVERNMENTS RESPONSIBLE FOR UNDOING THE DAMAGE AND REFRAIN FROM FURTHER DISPROPORTIONATE DIVERSION OF RESOURCES FROM THE SOUTH TO THE NORTH IN THE NAME OF BUILDING HUNDREDS OF SCHOOLS FOR THE 'ALMAJIRIS'.

AFTER THE POLITICAL COUP CALLED JIHAD OF 1804,THE NEW FULANI OVERLORDS OF THE FORMER HAUSA KINGDOMS OF NORTHERN NIGERIA(THEY WERE ORIGINALLY WELCOMED IN HAUSALAND AND MADE COURT CLERKS BECAUSE OF THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF ARABIC)WERE NUMERICALLY INFERIOR TO THE NEW UNDERDOGS.THEY HAD NO ALTERNATIVE THAN TO MARRY THE HAUSA WOMEN IN OTHER TO REPRODUCE THE NEXT GENERATION OF 'EMPIRE' BUILDERS.THESE OFFSPRINGS ARE THE SO CALLED HAUSA - FULANI.SO THE CORE NORTH IS A MIXED BAG OF FULANIS, HAUSA FULANIS, HAUSAS,KANURIS, OTHER MINORITY TRIBES AND COMBINATIONS THEREOF DUE TO PROCREATION.HAUSA IS THE MAJORITY LANGUAGE, THE LANGUAGE OF COMMERCE AND THE FULANIS ADOPTED IT,KEPT 'FULFULDE' BUT INTRODUCED ISLAM(EXCEPT IN OLD KANEM BORNU), THE CALIPHATE AND HEREDITARY EMIRSHIP AS THE BULLWARK OF THEIR POLITICAL POWER OVER THE MAJORITY UNDERDOGS WHO, APPARENTLY, HAVE BEEN COMPLACENT SLAVES EVERSINCE.

California Igbo boy, you are a big disgrace, you must be living in fools paradise to believe that Hausa-Fulani is more honest in friendship and Business than any other ethnic group in Nigeria. I am ashamed of you. Hausa/Fulani are the most selfish and deceitful of all the tribes co-existing in the geographical space called Nigeria. They are vindictive people. If you knew them you wouldn't have made such idiotic comment. Gen.Ironsi had the same thought about them as you which was why he fail to their prey and paid dearly for it. Hausa-Fulani only loves themselves and their religion, they have no love for any other ethnic group which was why they promoted mediocrity to high heaven during the forty years they ruled Nigeria

@Otile, The human race, regardless of tribe, creed, color or sect is part of the whole called the universe. The Ijaws are therefore part of a universal system limited only to the same time and space. So for the Igbo man, to experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest of the tribes that make up 9ja, should be seen as a kind of optical delusion formed from his lack of consciousness or respect for the man next door. This self delusion is a kind of prison which the avarage Igbo man would continue to reside in until he sees the need to free himself from it. And not restrict himself to his personal desires to steal the affection of the very people who beheaded one of their own after the civil war. Methinks, the task before the Igbos, is to escape from the prison which they locked themselves in by widening their circle of compassion to embrace all, regardless of the tribal marks on the face of Akintola in 1960, Ebi 2011 and Ibb 2015. Cheers.

Anas,
I have to tell you as it is; people do not love their oppressors. Don't mistake the obedience of slaves to their slave masters as love. You may think Ijaws love you because they are afraid of you and hide their feelings about your behaviors. The Igbo are not like that. The Igbo say their mind. If you stop oppressing us, beheading our people in your region, looting their properties, stop burning their churches we will not complain again. Your people carried out massacres, genocide and various types of crimes against Igbo, yet you expect us to love you for that. What arrogance! The guy from California is not here to experience the terror your people have brought to us; hence he still loves his hidden enemies. No I cannot in good conscience place myself voluntarily vulnerably at the mercy of my mortal oppressors to appease you. God forbid.

@Saad, aka Anas. There is nothing like Hausa/Fulani in Nigeria. You are either Hausa, Gwari, Igbo, Ijaw, Fulani, Kanuri, Yoruba, Ijebu, ilaje, Efik, Tiv, among other ethnic groups in Nigeria or a tribeless person in search of a cultural identity from the moon period. Its time we stop these political label called Hauasa/fulani. The Fulanis are a very distinct normadic tribe found all over the west african sub region. The issue of the Fulanis tagging themselves with the label hausa/fulani is not only criminal, but an ill wind that blows the Fulanis now turned 1,000yrs old hausas in Jos no goood. All the same, I share the thoughts expressed by the writer that boko haram has nothing to do with poverty, un-emplyoment nor is it a class war. Normadic education was introduced by the FGN for the Fulanis because of their normadic life style. The Hausas are no normads-most are farmers. So they are more stationary than the Fulanis who now control the political affairs of the entire north.

Anas,the truth is Hausas/Fulanis are more honest that other ethnic groups when it comes to friendship and business.I am not a Fulani apologist and I will never be but I will always say it how it is when things are going wrong.Terrorism in Nigeria today is caused by Northern Muslims but not all Muslims are terrorist.Why kill Innocent souls when the real culprits are in National Assembly? I don't take aim at the poor masses but the corrupt privileged few of all region.IBRAHIM SAAD is a blogger whom I admire how he carries himself on SR and most of my blogs are directed at ignorant people and not under the influence of some ones religion or ethnicity. My best friends are Yorubas and Deltans but it does not mean I can't call them out when they display their ignorance behind PC. I have not called for a Biafran state,all I am asking for is true federalism,is that too much? Anas, you must have poor reading compression or memory lapses.

If u hate the hausas that much why not start ur biafra now, do u think the hausas enjoy this think call nigeria? For your information we had enough of u and ur weak hate for us. Is it by tradition that every igbo hate hausa/fulani? Anyone that insult h/f is right no matter how weak his article is for otile‘s, omogire‘s and that usless igbo boy from northern biafra.

know nigeria before like nigeria if you are sincere you will not like nigeria
