Popular reality TV star Saskay recently expressed surprise and amusement after being told she is not considered a “northern woman” because her home state, Adamawa, was allegedly shifted to the Middle Belt region. Her reaction sparked lively conversations about Nigeria’s geopolitical zones and identity.
Saskay’s Confused Reaction
Saskay took to social media with a humorous and puzzled message, saying, “You people moved Adamawa to Middle Belt and didn’t tell me?” Her response shows how regional identity remains a strong part of many Nigerians’ sense of self.
Understanding Nigeria’s Regions
Nigeria is divided into six geopolitical zones: North West, North East, North Central (Middle Belt), South West, South East, and South South. Adamawa state is officially part of the North East, but discussions around Middle Belt boundaries can sometimes cause confusion.
Why the Debate Matters
Regional identity in Nigeria often influences culture, politics, and social interactions. For celebrities like Saskay, being identified with a particular zone can shape public perception and personal pride.
The Middle Belt Region
The Middle Belt is a diverse area with many ethnic groups and is considered a transition zone between northern and southern Nigeria. Sometimes states or communities close to this area face identity debates, as in Saskay’s case.
Saskay’s Identity and Fans’ Support
Many fans quickly came to Saskay’s defense, affirming her northern roots and celebrating her heritage. The incident shows how passionate Nigerians are about regional belonging.
Final Thoughts
Saskay’s reaction sheds light on the complexities of regional identity in Nigeria. It also reminds us that geography isn’t just about maps , it’s about people, culture, and pride.
