Are The Northerners Richer Than All Other Nigerians? True Or False by lovethokoh: 9:40pm On Feb 17, 2013
i have been arguing lately with my friends about this topic, and i believed that the southerners are richer, until one of us came out with a vital data about the wealth of the Northerners.

1 The police pension DG is worth N23b Nigeria

2 Alhaji Abdulrashid Maina is worth N88b

3 IBB is worth over $2billion

4 Abacha is worth over $3Billion

5 Dangote is worth over $12b as the Richest African

4 Ishaiku Rabiu and sons are worth over $5b

6 Dantata is worth over $1b

The most critical of the data goes this way

7 the North has more LGA's infact Kano alone has 44 LGA's and so the North Receives more Allocation for development

8 The North Has more people in the federal civil service and so they earn more salaries

9 The North has more Men in Army,Navy,Airforce,Police, Immigration,customs and Other Federal parastatals due to quota system and so earn more salary.

10 They have more senators and House of Reps and therefore Get more constituency Money,Bribery etc

11 they have more politicians and so more money for them...

For a second, let's forget about the stolen money and talk about the "supposedly" legit money.

The answer is yes. Within the military juntas of Buhari, IBB, Abacha and Abdulsalam; Nigeria's oil blocks were massively allotted to northerners.

However, it should be noted that the allottee were less than 1 percent of the entire poor north.

So, the answer is; technically yes!

4 Abacha is worth over $3Billion

Are you trying to say that Abdulsalam of yesterday is worth more than IBB and Abacha put together?

Are you a learner? grin

^^^Since they've been in control of the federal purse for the greater part of our life as a country......in a country where the federal gov't holds the knife and the yam as it were; and since they've mostly had this control under military regime when they could pretty much steal and do as they liked (with the cowered south waiting for the crumbs they deign to throw down from the high table)......when you consider all this, then it should come as no surprise that the core north has the richest individuals in the whole of Africa (never mind just Nigeria), and that there's a higher percentage of core northerners, vis-a-vis other regions/ethnicities that are enjoying this 'one Nigeria' in the name of public/civil service and politics......and arising from this, it would come as no surprise that the highest number of thieving elite are from there.

I'm not interested in some fleeting balancing act as we're not in the circus......someone from up there (or their cronies) could one day easily dismantle everything and restore the status-quo by stealth; rather what i'm interested in is the complete overhaul of the political structure of this country so no region or group of people are held hostage by anyone else......alternatively, we dissolve this fake union cobbled and held together just to service the greed and avarice of a corrupt, lazy and wicked few.

when they have all the lucrative federal positions in Govt and military why couldn't they empower their masses instead they were looting into their pockets.

As far as i am concerned wether on the average or on the elite status, the Northerners are still richer than the southerners

This is all about Culture.

It takes one rich Igbo man from a family to upgrade the other members. Not that we have much but it's a must to share, if your are to be respected and regarded in the community.

It is a duty and obligation and not a charity to settle your siblings and kins as soon as your join the Rich list.

If I travel to USA tomorrow and presumably found out there is good opportunity for success. My next point of call is to lift my family and kins to join me.

Voila, Bye bye to poverty.

2. Senate President = North.
3. Speaker House of Reps = North.
4. PDP National Chairman= North.
5. Head of Service = North.

6. INEC Chairman = North.
7. Inspector General of Police = North.

20. 99% of beggars in Nigeria = Northerners

21. Boko Haram = North.

23. Yet, the Poorest states in Nigeria and Educationally backward areas in Nigeria are in the North.
24.
8 former heads of state(TafawaBal ewa, Yakubu Gowon, Murtala Muhammed,

Now ASK yourself why is there no improvement in the average lives of Nigerians in the Boko Haram zones?

The elites(elrufai, tanko yankassai, buhari, rahamaniya, bello, tukur, and host of others are becoming richer and the common man poorer,yet the
North(elrufai, buhari n few money n greed southerners asiwere bola ahmed n rotimi fasakin blame GEJ for their backwardness,yo u,be the judge...do we need any soother or fortune teller to see this

My fellow youths time has come for us all to readjust and face our fears. Let's serve God not religion, let's lead n nt politicise, let's liberate our ppl after all both d rich n poor will still occupy only a room six feet down.

the guys he mentioned are not even super wealthy. only one northerner's wealth Trump's their combined wealth. which Briggs is he even talking about! Lulu Briggs? is he not the same person that only got rich because IBB allocated blocks to him, and off course IBB has a certain percentage accruing to him from the proceeds of the blocks. abeg na north get Nigeria.
