Simply cos their leaders remember their home grin. Onlike some. e.g OBJ who even failed to construct the road that leads to his home when he was president 4 8yrs.

DrSuleiman100:
Kwuption is more in the south than in the north

And yet 90% the people living in poverty in Nigeria live in the north. Please explain.

Because when sai baba was PTF chairman he fixed most northern roads and don't forget the north in its entirety is half of Nigeria and they have been the ruling class

Hausa people (North in general) although are corrupt, don't forsake the needs of their own people cause they've got unity than elsewhere whereas southern people, [b]even when asked to maintain their own village would eat the money.

The northern politicians are responsible for that unlike the southern politicians that inflate contracts and still construct roads with inferior materials

Because the North have more money than they need, I have been wondering why some Oil producing states financing the whole of Nigeria dont have money to pay salaries meanwhile these monies are distributed to the North which have a low workforce, its not right.. We should all fight for true federalism.. Everyman for himself, thats the solution to Nigerias Problem

because we don't plant juju on roads and break roads and be pretending to repair it.

we also don't set road blocks to rob people. that's why our road is far better than the South.

we also don't do diabolical means to stop road construction.

but u kill foreigners at d slightest chance and u send herdsmen to the south to come and destroy our farmlands

Our brothers in the other regions are corrupt.....they eat up the contractors via bribe leafing to substandard project
Re: Why Are Northern Highways Better Than Southern Ones? by samjadinero(m): 11:45am On Apr 30, 2016
Contractors on this dide(South) are rogues and no one cares. Just look at what SETRACO are doing on East - West road.
Re: Why Are Northern Highways Better Than Southern Ones? by Ramanto(m): 11:45am On Apr 30, 2016
compare the poverty level in both regions too, you will realize that poverty rate is higher in the Northern region. Meaning that you can't attribute the good condition of the Northern Roads to good governance.

Because of gross neglect and decades of tribalism effeted by the northern rulers since the inception of this country...Tis the only reason why Northerners are more employable in the civil service and military...Strategic National institutions and facilities are placed in the North...Northern universities are better constructed and well funded than their southern counterparts...etc.

Before this turns into tribal bashing, we have to understand that the topography of North and South are different. Northern States are not predisposed to erosion and other weathering conditions that destroys road.

Truth is road users seem to be more in the south than in the north. My opinion though.

OP, why did you post a picture of a foreign road to make your dishonest point?

Why not post a picture of these wonderful northern 'highway's if they are so great?
