So we were having a war Bifra vs. Nigeria, because the British people left the Hausa's in charge when they left because the Hausa are very unified in religion and in they way they go about things. But Igbos are really diverse and each clan served a different god, has a different dialect and think more highly of themselves than others. So Igbo's didn't want to serve under Hausa people they just wanted to do their own thing. Yoruba's also agreed w/ Igbo's and didn't wanted to serve under Hausa's. So war came and it was time to fight, Igbo's tried but were at the losing end, they said now it's time for a supporters to help. Yourba's were like " time out, who said anything about fighting, nah were a peaceful people we agree with your stance but we won't help yall fight". Igbo's were pissed thinking " wow that's cold yall know we will lose with your help, don't trip we got yall". So that's what started the divide, but Nigeria has always been divided some area's more than others. But Yourbas and Igbos get more along each other than with Hausas. Hausas usually stick to themselves. That was what happened in laymen terms

I met some cool a$$ Hausas in Nigeria, but no one likes them now, because Boko Haram people are Hausas. They are the ones blowing people up to regain political power, so you know, people aren't really rolling with them like that.

Thanks F8. I really enjoyed this book! It is one of the most beautiful stories. It's great to have a concise synopsis of the real life situation.

yeah that sucks, Hausas are rarely out here though. I really do wish that Nigeria can seprate though into a north nigera and south nigeria.

It may be the only way. That is what Sudan did recently (North Sudan is the newest country). The only problem is that no Nigerian is leaving the oil. They would sooner kill each other than leave the oil.
