NewsRescue- In our effort to reveal the amazing truths hidden in popular narratives, NewsRescue once again breaks a rather interesting piece of history about Nigeria.

Jonathan Ijaw {Ijaw are Igbo according to Radio Biafra}

The Hausa ethnic group has never ruled the nation. A group ‘marginalized’ as are most of 516 ethnic groups in Nigeria, popularly attributed Hausa rule has actually been Fulani only.

Hausa’s are about 20.6% of Nigeria’s population, the second largest group after Yoruba’s (21%). The Fulani are about 9%. Usually, Hausa and Fulani are crudely combined to create a largest block of 29%. The Igbo are about 18%, followed by the Ijaw, 10% and Kanuri, 4%.

NewsRescue is not in the least piqued by ethnic rotation, and ONLY supports the selection of morally upright and intelligent candidates from whatever region of Nigeria; however this piece of news is fascinating headlines. Please review list below:

1. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa (Middle Belt Bauchi) 1960-1966 (Bageri from Sefawa dynasty).
-Nnamdi Azikiwe 1960-1966 (Igbo).
2. Major General Aguiyi Ironsi (Abia) Jan-Jul 29 1966 (Igbo).
3. General Yakubu Gowon (Middle Belt Plateau) 1966-1975 (Angas).
4. General Murtala Muhammed (Middle Belt Plateau) 1975-Feb.1976 (Berom).
5. General Olusegun Obasanjo (Ogun) 1976-1979 (Yoruba).
6. Alh. Shehu Shagari (Sokoto) 1979-1983 (Fulani).
7. General Muhammadu Buhari (Katsina) 1983-1985 (Fulani).
8. General Ibrahim Babangida Badamosi (Middle Belt Niger) 1985-1993 (Gwari/Gbagyi).
9. Ernest Shonekan (Ogun) 1993-Nov 1993 (Yoruba).
10. General Sanni Abacha (Borno/Chad) 1993-1998 (Kanuri).
11. General Abdusalami Abubakar (Middle Belt Niger)1998-1999 (Gwari/Gbagyi)*.
12. Olusegun Obasanjo (Ogun) 1999-2007 (Yoruba).
13. Musa Yar’adua (Katsina) 2007-2010 (Fulani).
14. Dr Goodluck Jonathan (Bayelsa) 2010-2014 (Ijaw/Igbo {Ijaw and Ibibio are Igbo according to Radio Biafra}).

Our earlier breaking story, ‘Nigeria: the Illusion of North Dominated Rule,’ highlighted how the Middle Belt ruled Nigeria the longest.

Sefawa/Sayfaway is not an ethnic group, it was/is a ruling family. Either Balewa was Fulani or he was Hausa. You adduced no evidence to back up your projection of Murtala
Mohammed as being Berom. Neither Babangida nor Abubakar has admitted being
Gwari, even though rumor has it that Babangida in particular is Gwari. Jonathan
is Ijaw, irrespective of what RadioBiafra says.

This was my first time of seeing or visiting your web site. Regrettably, you are as rumor mongering and ethnic baiting as your other colleagues in Naija online journalism.

Did you click the “Berom,” link? Perhaps you were hasty. Check, that is just one of much available evidence on Murtala, son of Pam Azatus Iyok from Dogon-Gaba, near Vom in Plateau state’s well known origin.

2. Abdulsalami Alhaji Abubakar hails from the Gwari ethnic group- http://logbaby.com/encyclopedia/abdulsalami-alhaji-abubakar_5581.html#.UtYrMLTAjV4 and many other references. Google his name with “Gwari” to see. Same for Babangida

3. We have put Balewa’s specific ethnic group alongside. “Bageri.”
