[b]Northerners aren't lazy at all, they just had the worst visionless leaders in Nigeria after the death of Sarduana.Regrettably, the greedy northern leaders neglected the wisdom of the Sarduana who concentrated on agriculture for the zone.The north has resources which other regions can only dream about - "LARGE ARABLE LAND" which have been abandoned to chase elusive oil wells in faraway regions.

The richest states in America such as California,Texas,Iowa,Ohio,New Jersey are America's bread baskets too.Indeed,the oil producing states of America such as Louisiana and Mississippi are amongst America's poorest states! Northern Nigeria could easily have been the richest part of Nigeria,if they had followed the Late Sarduana's strategy of quadrupling agricultural production from the northern region every year. The problem is over dependence on resources of other regions in far-away places,rather than developing your own resources in agricultural production.

If northern leaders concentrate today on agriculture,they will produce enough food to feed the entire African continent and make the north the richest place in Nigeria again. But,it is easier to fight for oil dichotomy and deceive their people that the more oil money they can corner via unscrupulous means,the better for the region. Very very unfortunate mindset.[/b]

Hmmm....

whatzbyafria?:

how do you deal with all the insults you get as a result of been a Muslim? by the way you seem like someone who is nice.

sakaguchi:

I don't know when those statistics was compiled and also, the richest state in the country from veritable figures is NIGER STATE which is in the north. Poverty is immanent in all parts of the country and all these political office holders you highlighted are for 3 Geo-political zones I.e NE, NW, and MB.
During Yar'adua's time, many political office holders came from the SS, SW and SE.
And also sir @Lagusta, I would like to know how to write USMLE at 400L, don't know if you may help with advice.

I deal with FACTS, cos knowledge is the ultimate power, not bombs and killings....

Look at it this way, if muslims were really violent, then why didn't ALL muslims from all corners of the federation join in this so-called "jihad?"

If you really look from an angle, you'll see that this terrorism is more concentrated in some regions e.g iraq, afghanistan, and our very-own borno state, but other muslims from india, USA, france, even saudi-arabia don't join in the terror....

Muslims are naturally peace-loving, if you really get close to us!!!

And I hope I'm not derailing this thread.....

OliverPin: on what proof are you making such sterotype? Majority of muslims are babaric, sturborn and wicked. and mind you, why would your religion even think of JIHAD you see? its your religion that is confusing many muslims here. mohammed was a war lord? I hope am right? even your first father ishmeal was a wild hunter, a disobidient and sturborn child? am i right? that also confused islams to thinkn violence is good. I have muslim friends alot, we love each other and we never talk abt religious issues but let me tell you. it is the legacy of your religious forefathers that is causing these terror and confusions. Thank you

ihimami:

My dear, I don't know how old you are, you don't seems to make sense by saying you have Muslims friends who are nice and you love each but at the same time you concluded that Muslims are barbaric. I think your formed general judgment may be as a result of brainwashed and bigotry which I have noticed from some of you in this forum. I am positively sure your Muslim friends do not harbor this ill feeling towards you and they are ignorant of your hatred towards their faith. My candid advice is for you to ask your Muslims friends to educate you a little about their faith and express your misgivings about the faith rather than be carried away by now fashionable bashing of Islam and Muslims which are mostly out of ignorant. Peace.

OliverPin: Stereotyping. Check your dictionary pls or let me help you out. E.G Nigeria is tagged "A bad country" does not mean everyone in it is bad. Now, do you get my point? meanwhile, talkn about the BOLDED. have you been living in pluto? you know how many islamic groups causing chaos all around the world all in the name of fighting for their allah? pls dont even let me modify again self. no use

Lagusta: I don't know where to post this, so the mods can move this to the appropriate room....

And please, I am not a bigot, just stating the bitter truth here...

Lagusta:

...and how many did he kill, only one person out of self defense.....

Lagusta:

i knew this would turn into a religious arguement, but do i have a choice??

you said our beloved prophet is a war-lord, i laugh in swahili!!! now tell me, how would you feel when you were tormented in your own home, you moved away from there, went to another land where you were accepted whole-heartedly, yet those guyz that made you migrate still wanted to finish you where you are

hmmm, in fact, the prophet still did not want to fight!!! it was his uncle Hamzah that persuaded him to fight, then the commandment of God was revealed to him.....

and wait, did he even fight christians? no, only the idol worshippers that desecrated the holy land with their idols and rituals, and how many did he kill, only one person out of self defense.....

so please, how is he a war lord!!! i need facts please
