When it comes to break-up, the middle belt won't go along with the North - Jerry Gana declares

The Middle Belt region in Nigeria is believed to have the largest number of ethnic groups in the country and Professor Jerry Gana, a former Minister of Information and current National President of the Middle Belt Forum has warned northerners preaching division that if Nigeria breaks, the Middle Belt will not follow them.

Jerry Gana made the declaration on Sunday as he delivered a sermon at the St. Matthew’s Church, Maitama, Diocese of Abuja.

In his words,

'they think when it comes to break-up, we will go along with the North. We have already told them that if they allow this country to break up, we are not going with the North. We are staying where we are. So, just take notice. If it comes to that, we will tell you that you are Arewa and we are ‘Middle-Belters.’

He continued to say,

'we love Nigeria and it was changed to a federal system because of the minorities so that we can have a place. So, we love Nigeria but in the unlikely event that people want to go their way, the Arewa in the Sahel will go. But we will remain here in the Federal Republic of Nigeria'.

Chris Rock allegedly cheated on his ex-wife with Kerry Washington

Chris Rock allegedly cheated on his ex-wife with Kerry Washington

In a recent interview, Chris Rock admitted that he cheated on his now ex-wife, Malaak Compton-Rock with three women, an A-lister, a semi-famous woman and another woman in retail.

The famous woman he cheated with has now been revealed to be Scandal star Kerry Washington - and the alleged affair began in 2007, when she was engaged to actor David Moscow.

Chris and Washington were said to have kicked off the affair after they both starred in the ironically-titled film, I Think I Love My Wife, a movie where Rock’s character was about cheating on his wife. 

It was also reported that they were together for 6months when he was still married to Compton-Rock.

A source who confirmed the flings told Page Six:

“He was cheating on his wife with Kerry when they were filming [I Think I Love My Wife] about him, ironically, having fantasies of cheating on his wife. That went on for a while, for like six months, and she found out adding that 'There’s no grey area.'

It comes after Chris Rock was quoted in an interview with Rolling Stone saying: 'I was a piece of s***" during his marriage to Compton-Rock, revealing that he cheated with three women: 'one famous, one semi-famous, and one a member of the retail class."

Rock married Compton-Rock in 1996 and filed for divorce in 2014. Their divorce was finalized last year.

Kerry Washington is currently married to Nigeria’s Nnamdi Asomugha – both of whom have two children together and Chris Rock who is equally engaged to Nigerian actress Megalyn Echikunwoke are yet to react on the allegation.
